Paul Farol, a good friend and colleague, told me that SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT has just convinced this administration to hand over RPN 9 to them. SOLAR daw wants to fire the remaining 2,000 employees of RPN 9.
Is this part of the private-public initiative---selling government assets to the detriment of the people? By God, what is happening to this government?
What are you in power for? Hindi ba your mandate is make every government agency efficient and functioning properly? Are you telling us that you don't know how to re-build RPN 9, the former TV network which ONCE lead the media industry?
If TV5 successfully turn itself around, I have full faith that RPN 9, through support of the private and public sector, will also regain its lost glory.
YOU WANT A WAR?
WHY HAND OVER RPN 9 TO SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT? For the many years that SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT handled the primetime slot of the station, the station did not grow. The network's situation even worsened.
SOLAR entertainment is like a leech, a parasite, that got most of the profits from the station. And then here comes the AQUINO government telling us that SOLAR is the fittest man for the job, of what? Of sipping off the revenues and creative juices of RPN 9? Of making RPN 9, a milking cow?
TAMAD KASI ANG MGA TAO SA AQUINO ADMINISTRATION, ANG ALAM PURO BENTA.
BAKIT PA KAYO NARIRIYAN SA PUWESTO? HINDI BA ANG ROLE NINYO, BILANG TAGA-GOBYERNO, PAGANAHIN ANG MGA AGENSYA UPANG TUMUBO MAN LANG? IBIG BAGA NINYONG SABIHIN, WALA NA KAYONG MAISIP NA MAGAWA PA PARA SA RPN 9?
KALOKOHAN!!! TAMAD LANG KAYO, MGA TAGA AQUINO ADMINISTRATION! AT ANG KATAMARAN AT KATIWALIAN NINYO AY NAGIGING SANHI NG PAGKALUGMOK NG IBA.
I call upon all groups to support the cause of the 2,000 labourers and employees of RPN 9----RESIST THIS DASTARDLY PLAN OF THE ADMINISTRATION TO HAND OVER THE STATION TO SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT!!
TO ARMS, MY FRIENDS, TO ARMS!
IF THIS PUSHES THROUGH, I PROMISE TO EXPOSE EVERY DIRT, EVERY PERSONAL CALUMNITY, EVEN FILTH OF THIS ADMINISTRATION AND OF SOLAR ENTERTAINMENT.
AND MORE THAN 2,000 PEOPLE WILL DECLARE THEIR OWN WAR AGAINST THE AQUINO ADMINISTRATION.

Cyber Law and Katrina-Kho Sex Video
Let me expound on one of the threats to democracy that I mentioned in a previous entry. I pointed out the observation that certain quarters are using this Katrina Halili-Dr. Hayden Kho sex video scandal as a pretext to generate public support behind the current bill of Partylist representative Irwin Tieng's Cyber Law. It seems that what these legislators are doing is play up the issue to justify turning this law into a penal legislation with a corresponding jail term.
Whichever way you look at it, this law is a setback from the gains we so fought for at those EDSAs. It's a measure that smacks of non-sensical censorship and obviously a threat to our thriving democracy. It's a measure that would put the very liberties we now enjoy in jeopardy. Why?
Why punish somebody for expressing himself online? If a pervert, for example, wants to upload a nasty, X-rated stuff, who's to say that it's wrong? That upload is a form of self-expression. It may be offending to some, but not to others. Same goes to an activist who writes damning stuff against government. That's self-expression. And no law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, according to Section 4, Article 3 of the 1987 Constitution.
Perhaps Cong. Tieng is simply afraid that, someone would write about Solar Entertainment and the way they conduct their affairs over at RPN 9. Tieng probably wants to curtail this very right to protect certain business interests that are fair game once this Arroyo administration leaves office.
Tieng, whom I met a couple of years ago, is a young and well-meaning person. Yet, I am afraid that he is being used right now by corporate interests which were once victimized by online comments or by bloggers online hack jobs.
Penalizing self-expression is simply not the most democratic way to do it. Here, in this vast vacuum of space, ideas are ascendant. If you don't like what's being written about you or for someone you know, you have the right to reply. Simple. It's an unwritten ethical code that bloggers like me follow.
Yet, penalizing and attaching a jail term for an idea smacks of totalitarianism and simply cannot exists in a so-called democratic society like ours.
If Tieng used the argument that this Cyber Law aims to punish certain acts deemed despicable by him or his religious backers, who said that those acts are despicable? Simply, acts seen as bad by others may not be the case to some. And who gave them the authority to say that particular acts are deemed offensive or contrary to public morals?
Hence, this Tieng bill called the Cyber Law is a primary example of a moral law which does not merit a place in our jurisdiction.
Besides, our Revised Penal Code have many provisions that already punishes an act deemed criminal or at a certain extent, tortous.
In Dr. Hayden's case, for example, there is a bunch of laws which he violated, such as the Law on Violence Against Women, Ethical Code for Physicians and even the anti-wire tapping law. This suggest that we really don't need a new law such as the Cyber Law to punish an alleged online offender. Existing laws suffice to address a grievance made online. Lawyers should just be creative.
