Reporting 12-year old girl committing suicide: Media Sensationalism!

I dont think propaganda is the cure for all this problems. The people will be more inspired if the governent will just be truthful to them and stop fooling them.

The government must take its responsibility. It is there to lead, to provide services to the people. It is there to uplift their lives. It should not shirk everytime an incident happen like this because first and foremost it is their duty to help the people.

What are they doing? They wasted money like the NBN deal and the distribution of cash gifts in the Palace. The government had themselves to blame for the loss of trust and confidence of the people because of its undoing. If I am a struggling individual who can hardly earned a hundred peso a day, then I see people in Malacanang receiving cash gifts by the thousands, what would I think? I would think that here I am toiling everyday earning a living the best that I can, but here is the government wasting the money intended for basic services and livelihood projects.

murag lagpas ra kaayo na...there is transparency in our gov't baya...look for example, tanan transactions in all agencies can now be viewed by all at their respective websites...

all gov't systems are not perfect...lisod papaminawon ang dili gusto maminaw...

does the gov't need to be truthful? of course, but when it involves national security or classified info, need-to-know basis ra jud na...

is the gov't fooling us? pag-chure oi...

wasted money on NBN deal? walay may gipagawas nga kwarta kay gi-cancel.

cash gifts in the Palace? that was Kampi money (campaign party funds)...

finally, don't see or hear all the negative inputs...see the bright sides at all angles instead...you will be amazed on how it will affect your way of thinking...

I am mystified why the government has to employ propaganda to its own people. You direct propaganda to the enemy and not to the people, unless of course you have become the enemy of the people.

If this government is doing the right thing, why make use of propaganda? So the use of propaganda is an admission that something is not right in this present government.

This government is even afraid of its own people. What do this government think of the people. Fools?

sorry, i guess you have the wrong analogy there bro...please find the meaning of the word "propaganda" in wikipedia or websters...before you say anything else..."black" propaganda cguro imo pasabot...

I dont think one can already conclude that just because the government have websites already they are transparent. The negotiation for a government project will not be posted in the websites.

I am glad that there was mentioned of the NBN deal. The project was cancelled. Alright. But it was only cancelled when the anomalies are uncovered. Had it not for Joey De Venecia's testimony, the project could have proceed and we Filipinos will be fried in paying up that loan for generations. The NBN episode effectively demonstrated the wheeling dealing in our government projects. Just because it is cancelled, it cannot erase the fact that the transaction was negotiated in an anomalous manner.

What about cash gifts from the Palace. They say its Kampi funds. Tell that to the marines! If that is so, why it took them more than one month to admit that. They even said the President didnt know about the cash gifts. GMA, the head of Kampi doesnt know about the funds given. What kind of President of a party that is. If its a campaign party funds why the President didnt know of its disbursement? And why give money? Is it not barangay elections is a non partisan political exercise, so why distribute party funds?

The admission is raising more questions than answers.

OT:

NBN deal: u r ryt! it just showed our democracy in action...

cash gifts: its an official statement that the money was from Kampi funds...period. u will never know the exact reason why...pag governor or congressman sa para mkabaw ka sa tinuod. LOL

Propaganda - mao ni ang term nga gigamit sa mga tiguwang kun mahuman na ang unang yugto sa drama sa radyo o sa telebesyon.

Moingon dayon si lola, "ayaw balhina ha kay naminaw ko drama"
Tubag sad si lolo, "Ibalhin nato kadiyot kay propaganda pa man"
