IT’S been another tiring yet satisfying day, editing and uploading videos sent by our reporters from different parts of the metropolis as they covered the 22nd anniversary of the 1986 People Power revolution, and the pro- and anti-administration rallies that were held today in the wake of the national broadband network scandal.
I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish with INQUIRER.net VDO, in making online video a staple offering of INQUIRER.net, despite all the obstacles, despite the fact that we don’t have a broadcast background and are coming up with original video content rather than shoveling online the same stuff that’s already on TV. From the start, we knew that we couldn’t, and in fact shouldn’t, compete with TV. The traditional broadcast networks are giants who have a lot more money than we do. But to again use my favorite analogy, I liken the broadcast networks to the US when it was trying to fight a conventional war in Vietnam, while we’re like the Vietcong fighting a guerrilla war. The networks may have the money and the might, but we know the terrain — and we’re a lot more mobile. We know what works online, and I firmly believe that we have the advantage over traditional broadcasters when it comes to online video.
Anyway, here are the clips we uploaded today for our video coverage of the People Power anniversary. Check them out, and keep visiting INQUIRER.net VDO. You might also be interested in taking part in an online forum on the NBN deal — check out this article for more info.

NBN deal, gasgas na yan kabayan. palagi na laman ng tv at radyo yan. dapat natin malaman na itong usapin na ito ay isang vehiculo para mga senador sa susunod na halalan para sa pagka pangulo. kaya ayaw nilang mawala sa tv ng ganun na lamang. hanggat walang naglalabas ng tinatawag na “smoking gun” ay lahat ng sinasabi ng mga testigo sa usapin na ito ay lahat walang saysay. kahit isang nagtitinda sa palengke ng isda ay madaling maunawaan ito- halimbawa, nag bigay ka sa kanya ng bayad sa binili mong isda PSP100 ay tiyak niyan bibilangin muna ang bayad mo. yun ang sinasabi kong katibayan. kung mayroon man sa kanila ng may hawak ng “smoking gun” ay dapat lumantad at magsabi. ang katotohanan ay isang concepto - mayroon itong 3 panig, ang katotohanan sinabi, yun katotohanan sinabi mo at ang tutuong nangyari. titiyakin ko sa inyo na walang magsasabi ng tutuo, maaring kalahati ng tutuo o maaaring di magsasabi ng tutuo. kaya tigilan na ninyo kasi halata na nagpapagandang lalaki na naman ang may balak tumakbo sa 2010.
