Why are we still surprised that a constitutional body like COA is co-opted by PNoy? Comelec was prostituted for the trumped up electoral sabotage charge against PGMA used to justify de Lima's defiance of the SC.

Raissa Robles is an armchair journalist who gets away with single source stories. She's also a geek and most of her reports are gotten off google. That maybe acceptable to the blogs but not for someone who is also supposed to be a trained journalist by virtue of her work with the south china morning post. Anybody can google anything. In the same way anyone can put anything that can be googled on the web. The diff between new media people and professional journalists is the pros would know how to vet information, check with legit sources. If Raissa was a pro in the true sense of the word, she would have gotten whatever she took from the web, checked it with sources in the US and gotten primary documents or interviews with official sources, at least 2. Did she do that? The sloppy sourcing in this story only shows you there was malicious intent in reporting the story because it was publicized without proper vetting. Journalists must be careful in sourcing and vetting reports lest they fall into the quagmire of social media which is lynch mobbing. Only professional media would have the clout and resources to vet the so called wisdom of the crowds which aren't necessarily wise all the time. 

INQUIRER: SEN KOKO PIMENTEL - Pimentel declined to red much into the theory that Corona might have used his daughter as a dummy. He said the matter would have been suspicious if the property was placed under the name of a minor. "In this case, it is under the name of an adult with a job," he said. Pimentel said, presenting evidence on the US property would not reflect well on prosecutors from the House of Rep.  "Does it mean that a blogger could find it, but would be an evidence of poor evidence-gathering by the prosecution," he said. 

DZRH: Deo Macalma: Eto na, kinokondisyon na tayo, asahan daw ang posibleng mas mahabang oras ng brownout. Parang ginagawa ng MERALCO dito sa Luzon. Ano ba ang gusto niya? Magtaas ng singil sa kuryente o mas mahabang brownout? Iyan ang ginagawang panggogoyo sa Luzon at mukhang gagawin na rin sa Mindanao! What is happening to our country Mr. President? 

DZIQ: US TROOPS (7:37-7:39 - Radyo Inquirer Balita)
Retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz, tinawag na amboy si Pangulong Aquino matapos magkaroonng maraming sundalong kano sa bansa. Aniya hindi na niya ito ikinagulat sapagkat noon pa man ay kinakitaan na niya ng pagiging maka-Amerikano si P-Noy noong sinuportahan ng Amerika ang kanyang kandidatura sa pagka-Pangulo.

DZMM: ISSUE: MINDANAO POWER CRISIS/EMERGENCY POWERS
(6:54-6:59 - Kabayan - Commentaries by N. De Castro
- Sana itong pinaplano ng Kongreso particular ng mga kaalyado ni Pangulong Aquino na Emergency Powers para kay Pnoy ay pag-aralang mabuti kung talagang kailangan ng Pangulo.
-Sumasang-ayon ako kay Pangulong Aquino na namana niya din ang problema pero ang mahalaga ay kung ano ngayon ang ginagawa ng kasalukuyang Administrasyon. Hindi kasi pwedeng manisi pa ang siya isang araw, dalawang araw o isang linggo lang diyan sa panunungkulan. Ang mahalaga ay kung ano ang gagawin niya at kung kailangan pa ba ng Emergency Powers para matugunan ng Pangulo ang problema sa kuryente sa Mindanao.

DZMM: CRIMINALITY RATE
(5:38-5:39 Dos Por Dos) Commentaries of Taberna and Baja
Taberna: ang galing ng UP Los Banos no? at di lang yan. Mga Pulis diyan sinibak.
Baja: dahil sunod-sunod na kriminalidad.
Taberna: ang sabi nga po ng Malacanang," anong walang ginagawa ang Pangulo? Anong nag-Noynoying ang Pangulo? Eh ang dami-daming ginagawa ng Presidente, katunayan ay bumaba ang antas ng kriminalidad sa ating bansa.
Taberna: muntik na akong mahulog sa upuan kapag ganun ang naririnig ko, eh di yata nanonood ng telebisyon yung mga taga-Malacanang.

DZBB: MINDANAO POWER SHORTAGE:
(5:10-5:14 Bigtime Balita) commentaries of Radio Anchor Rene Sta. Cruz Problema sa kuryente bakit hindi inuna? Ang tawag ho doon sa amin sa Batangas kapag ganun ang ginagawa "ala ey, pakaang-kaang naman ang presidente namin eh." Pag sinabing "Pakaang-kaang" ay mabagal gumalaw. Yan po ang nakikita kong dahilan, "Pakaang-kaang" ang aming magaling na Presidente. Kung hindi siya pakaang-kaang sana inuna yon. Sana inuna muna yun kesa sa impeachment.

IMPEACHMENT VS. CJ CORONA (4:36-3:45 Pasada Sais Trenta-DZMM) Commentaries of Radio Anchor Vic de Leon-Lima
- alam niyo siguro sa maliit kong kakayahan, sa aking mumunting mungkahi sa Malacanang, alam niyo if I were you in Malacanang, the Comm Group ay i-ban niyo na ang word na "impeachment" sa loob ng Malacanang, huwag niyo nang pag-usapan yan. Ipagbawal niyo na ang pagsasalita ng "impeachment" diyan. Hayaan niyo na ho yung mga senator-judges na gampanan yung papel nila. I think that is one thing that will help Malacananag na malayo po diyan sa mga intriga na kayo po ay walang inatupag kundi si Corona.
