Sa dami ng kundisyunes na binigay ng Supreme Court para makapag-cover ng live ang TV, Malabo na rin mangyayari.
Ayun sa desisyun na sinulat ni Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales na sinang-ayunan naman ng lahat na justices, isang TV camera lang ang papayagan sa loob ng korte kung saan doon kukuha na ng “feed” ang ibang TV networks.
Walang problema sa kundisyun na ito. Nagawa na ito sa ibang kaso katulad ng kay dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada.
This Holy Week, I’m reading an old classic bestseller, Viktor E. Frankl’s “Man’s search for meaning .”
Thanks to Juggernaut for introducing me to Frankl’s masterpiece.
Frankl was Europe’s leading psychiatrist. “Man’s search for meaning” is about finding humanity in the most inhuman environment which was the Nazi concentration camp.
Philosophy professor and writer, Gerald F. Kreyche, describes”Man search for meaning” as “The story of a man who became a number who became a person.”

But if for some reasons they would have to delay the ruling, MTRCB Chair Grace Poe-Llamanzares said, “There are talks of a preventive suspension. That’s one option.”
Another MTRCB official, who asked not to be named because he was not the authorized spokesperson, said, “There’s no question about the suspension. What is being discussed is for how long.”

Ang desisyun ng Jollibee Corporation na alisin muna ang advertisement ng Mang Inasal sa Willing-Willie habang ini-imbestigahan ng TV5 at ng MTRCB ang insidente noong March 12 ay nagpapakita na ang kanilang imahen na pangpamilya ay hindi lamang sa promosyon.
Talagang isanasambuhay nila ang tamang kaugalian na respeto at pangangalaga sa bawa’t miyembro ng pamilya, bata man o matanda.
Sumulat si Pauline Lao, ang namamahala ng corporate Media ng Jollibee Foods Corporation na may-ari ng 80 per cent ng Mang Inasal na mga restaurant kay Froilan Grate na siyang namamahala ng “Para kay Jan-Jan Facebook” at sinabing sa loob ng isang linggo, hindi na muna sila maglalagay ng advertisement sa Willing –Willie.
Sinabi ni Lao na hindi naman talaga naga-advertise ang Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich at Red Ribbon sa Willing-Willie.
Nawindang naman ako sa sagot ng tatay ni Jan-Jan Estrada, ang anim na taong batang nasa gitna ngayon ng kontrobersya dahil sa kanyang nakakabagbag damdamin na itsura habang sumasayaw ng “macho dancing” sa Wiling-Willie.
Binabatikos ngayon kaliwa’t –kanan si Willie Revillame sa sinasabi ng marami na pambabastos at panga-abuso sa bata para lamang mabenta ang kanyang show sa TV5. Nangyari ito noong Marso 12 ngunit itong linggo lang talagang nakatawag pansin sa “middle class” dahil sa video ng show na kumalat sa internet.
Makikita sa video na mangiyak-ngiyak si Jan-Jan habang tumatawa si Revillame at marami sa audience sa pagsasayaw ni Jan-jan na gionagawa ng mga kalalakihan sa mga bar. Binigyan ni Willie ng P10,000 si Jan-Jan.
CHR condemns the March 12 episode of Willing-Willie as “an exploitation of the child’s innocence and demeans his inherent dignity for entertainment’s sake. “ See complete statement in comments section.
A move to teach Willie Revillame a lesson by calling on a boycott of Willing-Willie’s advertisers is being circulated online.Details below.
TV-5 and Revillame apologize
Jan-Jan’s father speaks: ‘Maraming natuwa’
Most of the criticism about boy “macho dancer” Jan-Jan was aimed at TV host Willie Revillame, but a few angry reactions referred to the child’s parents who permitted him to be laughed at and humiliated on national TV.
GMA News Online tracked down Jan-Jan’s father, Jojo Estrada, a salon owner from Quezon City, who saw nothing wrong with the spectacle that earned his son a tidy P10,000, which was spent on a new Portable Sony PlayStation and bike.
On his son’s dance:
“Talent ‘yun ng anak ko, simula nung 4 years old sinasayaw nila ‘yun, kahit sa school pa. Ako’y tuwang-tuwa. Napaluha ako sa tuwa.”
