[...] rin ang sinabi niya tungkol sa kaso ni Rebelyn, na bumagsak ang antas ng militar. Hindi papahuli si Dean Jorge Bocobo sa pagbanat sa New People’s Army kahit sa panahong ang militar at rehimen ang dapat na nasa depensiba. May naniniwala ba talaga sa [...]

I think Ding has just mentioned what could solved the vicious Bocobian puzzle on media sensationalization or propaganda in the context of how it serves to breach the journalist’s Code of Ethics, how it may even violate the freedom of the press itself, and to train the voices that come from so-called Chorus from the Echo Chamber.

And it is that simple.

Said Ding, “This is really par for the course because ultimately it is how the message receivers interpret the message and how they will be swayed by it, positively or negatively.”

Now, it is clear. Whatever mainstream media publish or broadcast, it cuts both ways in so far as readers are concerned. The whole myth of something is said to have been hyped, been sensationalized, propagandized falls flat as mere claim.

To hell with claims.

PDI has put on the front page the unconfirmed, unverified claim of an active rebel and insurgent that “military agents” were responsible for the murder and rape of “Rebelyn”. But for all we know, she was about to turn on the rebel movement and he killed her himself. It would not be the first time that the Revolution ate its own children. The deadliest of the ahente paranoia that swept through the insurgent movement in the 80s and 90s killed more seepeepee-enpeek-ay cadre than Marcos ever did! At least he mainly tortured and killed the top leadership, not knowing of course that the small fry would be done in by paranoiac comrades.

Live by the Sword. Die by the Sword. It’s a bitter lesson.

JCC,
The caption implies this photo was taken during the “rare interview” that was so graciously granted by Mr. NPA Commander. There is only one explanation for appearing in combat gear at such a “rare interview”–which was really a memorial service for his daughter. It probably means that “Rebelyn” herself may have been an “enemy combatant” and may have been actively aiding her father and the insurgency. He was honoring his child-warrior. At 20, a person does not willingly use the name Rebelyn without some consent as to its implications. This does not excuse how she may have died, which we don’t really know much about. But that is how I interpret coming to your daughter’s memorial service press conference in full battle gear. It’s also a statement that he will continue holding cell sites hostage in the name of the People, and torching them in her memory.

It’s a dire warning to others who have daughters.

After reading this Op-Ed, it occurred to me that there is no new genre at all. Its all the same old propaganda from the left, military, masses, and elite.

And FYI, this is one time I believed in a priest.

Filipino communists are slow on the brain, or they are not into keeping up with current events. The leftists of Latin America are showing the way.

The mantra “—For the Greater Good!!!” is excellent slogan — just look at how the various churches have used it. The ambitious among the Filipino :neutral: leftists can get themselves into Malacanang (and the perks of power — namely money!!!!) by getting into Politics :evil:. Just look at Hugo Chavez now sliding into “President for :idea: Life”, and check out what is happening in El Salvador.

Those rebels collect Revolutionary Taxes. The
movement became a Mafia Type, protection racket
movement. People who needs jobs can join the
movement and share the racket funds.

The Mafia has a Family Type organization. It has
to be welded shut by its members thru the Omerta
or no tell code.If you break the code. The enforcer will whack your brains out by a 22 caliber pistol.

Mafia also takes care of their members and their
families. Only the crime mob demands unquestioned loyalty, or death.

It wont go away because our leaders are busy
emptying the national treasury. Most are busy
giving importance on themselves.

So, the Marxist ideology seems to be a better
alternative.

If your read about the Russian Revolution. You
can see the sufferings of the Russian people.
How they were deceived by such ideology by Lenin,
Trosky, Stalin…etc. It created a new breed of
Marxist Aristocrats, much like those Fuedal
Aristocrats in the Middle Ages. So, it is a
deceptive and deceitful ideology. Much like
politicians with empty slogans. But cannot
deliver.
