Justice through media

Ever since nag-boom ang internet

at naging laganap ang phenomenon

ng social media, madami na ang na-adik dito.

Do not get me wrong,

information is still power,

but in the wrong hands na-abuse ito.

Napansin ko na ginawa ng

avenue to air grievances

at for financial appeal ang social media

especially ang facebook.

I find some of the posts annoying,

honestly, kasi most of them do not

provide facts or the truth,

always one-sided.

In the time of fake news,

who is to say nga naman.

Everything and anything can be

edited,

photoshopped,

altered, contorted,

deleted and created.

I totally understand

people who resort to posting

in social media for sponsorship

patungkol sa medical purposes.

God knows, kung gaano kamahal

ang healthcare sa atin.

Million at billion pati kaluluwa

halos ibenta.

Even nga magpalibing, mamumulubi

ang tao.

I get the point din nung mga

awareness posts like yung

nagoorganize ng donation drives

for various calamities.

Ang di ko maintindihan

e yung mga nagcocomment.

Jesus Christ! Buddah and Allah talaga!

Puro #kmjs #tulfo #broadcastmedia.

How did it come to this?

That people have to resort to tv shows

instead of their own government to help them?

When instead of harnessing the power

of the internet to provide solutions,

e katangahan pa din pina-iiral.

People have to realize that

sensationalizing or by making

the issue public, they are opening

a can of worms.

Some media practioners would just

use the issue to further their own cause.

So instead of mafocus sa pangangailangan

e nagiging political protest or mockery

ang isyu.

Broadcast media is self-serving at times.

They always have to portray the news

in their own light or perspective kumbaga.

Kasi nga sponsors,

kasi nga poll\view results

kasi nga politika.

Si instead of tagging Jessica Soho or

the Tulfo brothers, sana kaunting gamit

naman ng brain at research.

The tools to help others is just there at our own fingertips.
