: Sumosobra na ang press! 😡

Kahit may freedom of the press naman sa Pilipinas, parang sumosobra na talaga itong mga media outlets sa mga kinekwento nila ha.

We respect the press, that is true. But there truly is a fine line between just telling a story and your smear campaigns. Why can’t journalists stick to doing what they do best? Just write a story that makes us look good! Do we really need the negative vibes from you all?

Let’s be real, do we really want an institution where people’s businesses like reports for transparency ng funds, updates sa mga positions, pictures sa renovation sa mga CR, and more will be put out in public? Grabe naman kayo!

We think something that the press needs to understand is to respect our privacy! Not every story must be written on! I mean may point kayo na we are public figures and that we kinda have to answer to the people but still.

Let’s face it — do we really want a nosy press na nag-eexpose ng mga kwento ng lahat? No sa marites culture!

Oh yeah sometimes hindi kami maka respond sa inyo dahil, di lang namin bet. Char okay lang yan actually. Pero wag nyo lang kaming i-question kung bakit may nagprotest sa amin recently. We don’t really know about it because none of our business na yan. Out of sight, out of mind.

Yang mga negatibo na yan ay ang dahilan bakit ang mahal pa ng bigas at gasolina here sa country! May relate ba? Diba wala pero just trust us!

And honestly, it gets worse by the day because if mabibigyan pa ng funds ang press, baka dadami pa and mga projects nila. What’s next? A sports coverage na mala UAAP? Hala we are so not going to give you the schedules sa mga games to begin with. Aiming too high na ang mga publication ha!

Tapos what are they saying na magnify daw? Are you detectives? Gusto nyo bang kunin yung trabaho ng mga police? Ng mga inspectors? Leave the magnifying to the professionals! They’re surely to be trusted at all times, especially here in the Philippines.

Sa mga press dyan, respeto naman kayo. Know your boundaries because, transparency aside, mape-pressure din kami sa mga tanong niyo! Sumosobra na kayo sa mga kinekwento nyo. So ano ba talaga tong interview na ito? Ay need niyo lang ng statement sa bagong event namin? Hehe yan lang naman pala.

: Congratulations! If you have ever had the recurring dream of strolling through air-conditioned malls, shaking hands while awkwardly holding a microphone, and making vague, non-intentional meme-worthy promises about “change,” you’re already halfway to becoming a politician.

But don’t fret, it’s not for the faint of heart — or the competent. Only the truly exceptional (unqualified) make it to the top. So ready your blank credentials, and let’s dive into what it takes to become a beloved public servant in the Philippines.
