TODAY’S headline story (”Neri was ready to talk about ZTE“) is proof that the PDI is downgrading itself from a broadsheet newspaper to a typical tabloid.
It did not [give] any news but gossip, hypotheses, hearsay, and political intrigues. PDI should be aware that its audience is not that dumb. We have too much of Tiktik, Taliba, and Abante. Please start relaying real news. Leave the tsismis to the Buzz and Startalk.

honestly i did not read the article. i just watch the news in a delayed telecast here in the US and so far what i know is not much of the details.
when i visit this website i immediately go to this column and read the blog and comments. this has become a routine for me. i admire how the comment writers expressed their thoughts and ideas. i am overwhelmed to know that there are still people who care for the philippines. even a short expression of opinion really matters.
this comment is not related to the blog i just want to express myself. i hope you don’t mind.

Bilang isa sa iginagalang na pahayagan sa bansa, ako ay sumasang ayon na sana ay palaging maging fair at balanced ang inyong mga lathalain. may mga pagkakataon na ginagawang sensationalized ang mga issues

I fully agree with Russel de Vera that the PDI is downgrading itself into a tabloid with its headline story “Neri about to talk ZTE’. As a highly respected broadsheet newspaper please based your reporting on facts and not on mere speculations and gossip. It’s insulting to the readers.

Since the Philippines is known for corruption among the lowest to the highest government officials, it’s tough not to tinge opinions with personal bias against them. Only when these corrupt people are brought to justice and exposed to the world can the Philippines be great again and the Filipinos liberated from being the pariah of Southeast Asia.
