IGME Files

     Our minds will be roused; our values questioned. 

     Can someone as visible as Joey de Leon not speak his mind on the matter?  For sure Joey’s been waiting for another debacle by Willie and the bigwigs of ABS, and he has found the perfect timing to provoke the other side than now.  Is that wrong?  The means of broadcasting the complaints on a television program may not be the right avenue, but I’d rather lean towards some people whose not afraid to speak their minds.  So Joey has my back, or rather, I’d go for the truth. 

     Willie Revillame has struck back with yet another tactic.  Is this how anyone responds to an inquiry by serving the pity effect and then washing the enemy’s dirty linen in public?  If our justice system had not allowed the show to run and put whoever’s responsible with the 70-plus lives lost almost a year and a half ago in the ULTRA stampede tragedy, then none of this would not have happened. 

     Willie Revillame vs. Joey De Leon. 

     Pro-Willie/Anti-Joey or Anti-Willie/Pro-Joey. 

     Wowowee vs.  Eat Bulaga.

     ABS-CBN vs. GMA-7. 

     Our viewing public split for personalities, more artistas will come to Willie’s rescue, the audience is divided on which tv shows to watch, either you’re maka-dos or maka-siyete.  More exposure-starved politicians will be seen, more media mileage from them and the media will lap them up as well.  A Senate inquiry comes in, then another fact-finding committee is created; more money and time is wasted.  In time, we will all go back to our tv sets and forget about it. It’s only a ratings game after all.  But wait, how about people lobbying Willie for President?

     Do we Filipinos really deserve this travesty?
