Public activity dictates that their articles are correct and just, proper and reasonable. it's alarming to observe youngsters that there are somewhat a number of articles in a few newspapers and in social media which might be based on personal ideologies and beliefs; biased and unfair and sometimes even arising out of envy. due to this, i am restrained to write about ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. which is at present the field of discussions by means of opinion writers in a couple of newspapers. I definitely tried to stay away from writing about this area precisely as a result of my involvement and personal activity during this colossal Radio-television business the place my legal drama anthology entitled “kapag nasa katwiran, Ipaglaban Mo” is being aired weekly each Saturday. With such connection and activity, readers will effortlessly conclude that anything i will be able to write about it may be biased and always in its choose. however after studying one of the most articles in newspapers concerning this enterprise, i'm in reality forced to come out with this piece, without problems because pointed out opinions are unfair, unjust, false and deceptive. first off, let me point out that there are a few court cases involving ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. now nevertheless pending, greater primarily the Congressional hearing on the renewal of its franchise for another 25 years, the Petition for Habeas Corpus filed by the Solicitor commonplace involving the alleged violations of observed franchise and the Petition for Certiorari with a prayer for a temporary Restraining Order (TRO) filed by the broadcasting enterprise towards the countrywide Telecommunications fee (NTC) for issuing a stop and Desist Order to proceed its operations.

Secondly, and even worse, is that one of the most opinions on concerns involved in these cases are obviously according to personal biases and prejudices and never on what is right and just and what's correct and reasonable. There are even allegations and accusations on the alleged violations of the franchise committed by using ABS-CBN with none proof submitted and authenticated and without affording ABS-CBN the opportunity to reply. definitely these accusations have already been confirmed false and unfounded throughout the Congressional hearings on residence invoice 6732 for renewal of its franchise and for the granting of a provisional franchise pending its renewal. The certainty is that these accusations have already been requested and answered under oath with the aid of quite a lot of govt agencies on the Senate hearing closing Feb. 24, 2020 above all the Securities and alternate commission (SEC), the countrywide Telecommunications fee (NTC) and the Bureau of inside profits (BIR). These agencies affirmed and categorically declared that ABS-CBN had no violations dedicated in thus far as it pertains to their respective businesses. Even department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello additionally pointed out in an interview that ABS-CBN is totally compliant of the labor necessities. Accusations as to the citizenship of Gabby Lopez were also answered below oath at the Senate listening to. Thirdly, and worst of all is the recent article written with the aid of a well-known and aged columnist who made some observations on “the ABS-CBN problem that provoked passionate response.” obviously, he's towards capitalism and free business which are components and parcels of a democratic and republican type of government like ours. really he even stated the most efficient advocate of communism, Karl Marx, and stated that the latter become correct in saying that capitalism is stimulated via “unrestrained greed a ways deadlier than the corona virus” afflicting the realm. He cited in his article that the “actual problem with ABS-CBN and its house owners isn't press freedom. it is money, politics and vigour â€" how power is bought, the way it is abused and maintained and most of all, the way it obstructs this nation’s financial and democratic building.” He even alleged that this broadcasting huge “owes billions to the executive” which it can return â€" unmindful of the undeniable fact that the BIR had already certified that the company had settled all the taxes due. Then he branded its homeowners as one of the oligarchs who are “essentially the most seen tip of the iceberg” that should still be toppled with a view to show that “it would not be tricky to do the identical with the others.” in accordance with him, this capability that “the revolution has begun.” definitely, he's regarding communism espoused via Karl Marx versus capitalism that presently prevails in our free and democratic country. he's interestingly in opposition t the alleged “oligarchs” of a capitalist state like ours, one of which is allegedly ABS-CBN. It must be mentioned although that ABS-CBN or its owners aren't definitely “oligarchs.” they're successful businessmen who prosper of their company via prudent use of capital, ready administration, due diligence and dedication to duty of their officers and personnel. here is the essence of capitalism as towa rds communism. it can even be brought up that ABS-CBN and its house owners are additionally involved with the plight of the negative and the victims of calamities in our country. they have got quite a few humanitarian classes and monetary aids just like the current “pantawid ng pag-ibig” program to assist the negative people most significantly suffering from the current COVID-19 pandemic. It additionally has a basis giving aid and assisting the victims of calamities. definitely, besides the fact that it has been indefinitely shut down by using the govt, it nonetheless retains its employees and pays their salaries whereas out of work within the face of large losses in revenues. To be sure justice and peace in our society therefore, opinion writers and journalists should see to it that their essays are authentic and fair to all involved to be able to stay away from ill will and hatred among our individuals. * * * email: js0711192@gmail.com
