I always tell my mother who can be such a drama queen, not too watch too many tele-novelas because she becomes OA and too emotional. We have to make shows that are empowering and inspiring. <br />Sometime even our news shows are exaggerated and sensationalized. They ask questions that pry into private lives, sometimes too detached from the real news. Why are we so enamored with Pnoy's lovelife??? that every forum he gets into, people ask him about it. It's irritating and worse it gets us off track. <br />thank you for your incisive thoughts, we need more of you. : )maricelmonterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310120933851083668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491489102083740378.post-50442523245099951282011-09-28T02:36:50.662-07:002011-09-28T02:36:50.662-07:00You nailed it, and this, coming from a media perso...You nailed it, and this, coming from a media person himself. <br /><br />In a recent expo on Corporate Social Responsibility that I attended, Feny Angeles Bautista lamented the lack of support for educational programs on tv, and underscored the need to educate people behind the different forms of media. Mass Media should know how to direct their audience to a certain level, and then show them the way out after, instead of bringing them to whatever state of mind they want their audience to attain and then leave them to decide what to do next. I agree. <br /><br />Advertisers should be responsible enough to advertise on programs that promote good values. As it is, these programs don't last because they don't highlight scandals, and are not titillating, so to speak. Maybe we should have a law that would compel advertisers to set aside a portion of their advertising budget on programs that would promote good values to our youth. This should be included in their good governance and compliance program. This way, there will be a proliferation of programs that teach values, not programs that promote how pathetic life is, and that one's chances of improving one's life is dependent on whether one wins in Willie Revillame's show or not.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193602441760619458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491489102083740378.post-41724313868956973552011-09-27T17:30:47.360-07:002011-09-27T17:30:47.360-07:00True Media can impose you to do such things I also...True Media can impose you to do such things I also think this happened because of Life uncertainties, everybody knows that "Life treat us cruelly." I know for sure that kid is having problems with his family, and I think that Lover of his is the only one he clung unto up until now because of that "he was afraid losing it all" something must have triggered inside his mind and he was deeply trouble and that time he can't take it and he "decide" he decide to end it all. It was a sad end I could hear mouths speaking "Bakla kasi!" people are close minded when it comes to that but when that happens to them they ask sympathy for people they ask sympathy from God without realizing what comes before them without seeing what transcends at that time, "They are foolish".<br /><br />It sad so sad I once lose hope, and truth be told I once tried to take my own life, I can understand someone who tried to take their own life, they are hopeless they may not show it but they conceal that loneliness and eventually they break. <br /><br />again this only a presumption a wild guess I don't know if this really happened to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491489102083740378.post-66949658402140710112011-09-23T08:43:35.012-07:002011-09-23T08:43:35.012-07:00thank you very much for this... i am a deeply conc...thank you very much for this... i am a deeply concerned mother and i watch almost helplessly as my kids get exposed to horrible media shows because as you said, whatever kids watch at this impressionable age, they absorb... i have shared your article in my facebook account and i am going to do my share in working out this challenge by initiating a request to FB to implement strict parental control & reasonable censorship specifically on the accounts of minors.Jopenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479037878138849900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491489102083740378.post-11155672838148694952011-09-23T08:34:02.822-07:002011-09-23T08:34:02.822-07:00Excellent piece, sir.

...Excellent piece, sir. You hit it where it hurts.<br /><br />Just to correct some info, though: regarding the earlier shooting incident, the husband who was shot worked as a merchandiser for the department store; not as a security guard as mentioned.anGeLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079812409736413922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491489102083740378.post-62077889108341720622011-09-23T06:59:07.324-07:002011-09-23T06:59:07.324-07:00you opened up the flood gates again, sir, with thi...you opened up the flood gates again, sir, with this post. can't help it. :'(<br /><br />thank you for such wonderful words of wisdom.jacsagunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463910486869873822noreply@blogger.com
