ABS-CBN and GMA 7 should stop accepting ad money from Presidentiables

If ABS-CBN and GMA7 really want to help the people make smart choices in the 2010 polls, they should do the following stop accepting TV and Radio ad placements from recognized or even rumored Presidential candidates. In fact, make it a policy not to accept money for airing TV and radio commercials that have political personalities in them.

This will really make their campaigns for Boto Mo, I-Patrol mo or whatever bullshit it is they are advertising REALLY mean

something more than a self-patronizing and self-aggrandizing play at showing everyone that they

"good" companies.

Huwag na tayong magbalat kayo at magkunwari na walang agenda ang mga news media. Halatang-halata naman eh.

MMDA signs of frustration

If this sign is not a hoax, the Metro Manila Development Authority under chairman Bayani Fernando has obviously taken to using cuss words as a way to make itself more understandable to the unruly masses it wants to discipline.

The sign literally says, "Hey you SOB! Just try crossing this street!"

It would appear that stern warnings of "BAWAL TUMAWID. NAKAKAMATAY." (Crossing prohibited. Fatal.) on large metal signs installed on high metal railings have failed to keep people from crossing streets.  In response to this, Chairman Fernando must have authorized the use of such signs to shock people into following traffic laws.

What else can we expect from Chairman Fernando?

Because after forcibly and violently demolishing squatter colonies and the shops of sidewalk vendors as well as building U-turns almost every major street in Metro Manila, we have already have a sign of how Fernando will choose to inflict his brand of leadership.

If given a chance, it will be a short lived one. Filipinos can tolerate corruption, but never cruelty.
