Ipapaalala ko lang po ang sinabi ni Mayor Vico Sotto:
“Hindi lang sila basta naglalaglagan, gusto nila magulo ang kwento. Gusto nila lituhin tayo. Gusto nila na di na natin malalaman ang totoo.”
"These are people who are really capable of lying without batting an eyelash."

As a former student journalist who has colleagues in the media, I find this statement incredibly appalling and insulting. The Philippines is one of the most dangerous places for journalists worldwide. When a senator tags media as "bayaran", he not only discredits the truth, he legitimizes the attack on the very people who can tell the story.
These journalists were the ones caught in the fire during the Senate shooting. And in this desperate attempt to gain sympathy, they attacked the media instead. Nakarinig na ba tayo ng paumanhin mula sa kanila?
Hindi rin kasalanan ng media na hindi kayo sumipot for 3 days so paano kayo tatanungin di ba? Hindi rin naman nagpapa-presscon si Cayetano.
Now, ask yourself, sinong may kasalanan bakit wala kayo sa coverage. Hindi pwedeng maging puppet niyo lang ang mga mamamahayag. Just because the news is not favorable to you doesn't mean na "bayaran" na sila. Maybe start by looking at what's wrong with you first.
The reality is simple eh: ayaw niyong maging subject to questions so you opt to FB lives and attacks on the media.
Tutal nasa usapang bayaran tayo. Kayo? Bakit hindi kayo pumasok ng tatlong araw sa Senado? Hindi ba at binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan para gawin ang tungkulin ninyo?
Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.
This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…
Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.
Get out of your bubble. Please.
