I was always a critic of the Department of Education. In fact I never was a fan of it. Aside from the fact that I am working in this damn institution, I have no other thing in mind about it. My decision is firm. After I finish my Master’s Degree I’m more than sure that I will resign from this sick government agency.
By the way, I have encountered a troll. It (he is not a person for me. I deny him the right to be a human. He just sold his soul to the devil) what had just happened is I lost control of my temper. I replied and replied and replied. The stupid trolls are just everywhere. They infiltrated the facebook page of the Department of Education page. It started the argument by posting a screenshot news that rappler lost its contract with the DEPED. Oh wow! There was really a contract. A fake journalist site managed to partner with the Department of Education to teach school-aged children about journalism? By the way these fame whores had just taken the dose of their own medicines. Just a year earlier they criticized the decision of the Malacañang bloggers to allow the bloggers to cover the events of the Palace. Guess what just weeks ago they classified themselves to be bloggers. Why? The foreign funding? Hahaha.
By the way these media had been doing their best to wage war against a president who was voted with a wide margin. What could be the reason?
- The media said they will boycott the President. (Well huh) They used o believe that they have the power to condition the minds of the people. They believe that they can control the opinion of the masses. What they failed to contemplate however is that we are living in the 21st century and Social Media is just becoming more handy. Duterte the seasoned strategist turned the table against them and boycotted the media instead hired Mocha Uson, he was supported by bloggers all over the world. The age of the political keyboard warriors commenced. Score Duterte 1, media zero.
- Round two. The media demonizes the president through exaggerated figures in war on drugs. Amplifying his rape joke and twisting the context of Duterte’s speech. What are they hoping this time? Again to influence the public opinion. What happened? Basically nothing. The public support and the trust and approval rating is still excellent. Poor pathetic LP. Point on Duterte again.
- Round three, the destabilisation pushed on. They called for rallies.and all of which ended in a series of failures. Pia Ranada of rappler attacked like a fixated dog. Nothing happened. The Philippine Daily Inquirer, biased as they are brought the fight on a whole new level. Duterte just cursed them and revealed to the public a certain government property that was used by the owners of the media firm. So sad. The free use is over. Score Duterte.
- The proud rappler attacked and attacked. Pia Ranada and Maria Ressa rants and ranted. But then the SEC or the security and exchange commission revoked the right of Rappler to receive foreign funding. Score Duterte. They call it violation of the freedom of speech. Hello dear rappler it is not. You still are operating don’t you? Duterte again.
- And here rappler’s contract with the department of Education is terminated. It is necessary. They would do more harm than good if the contract will continue. They could teach the basics of fake news and biased journalism which is detrimental to the country. Duterte again.
If I am Maria Ressa or Pian Ranada, I would rather hang myself to save my ego. By the way I will never kiss Duterte’s ass.
