noynoy vs. kabayan

am i with noynoy or kabayan?

noynoy. pnoy is breaking barriers. he is putting the "freedom of expression" thing into something that no one ever did. well, gma used to be "mataray" with the press. so this so called "president/press thingy" is nothing new. the only difference is this time is pnoy directly hit someone else' in an unexpected event. he criticized the former vice president noli "kabayan" de castro of his hits and bangs against pnoy's presidency. 

my take? he should be more sensitive with the feelings of others. sensitive in way that he should remind himself that he is the keynote speaker of TV Patrol's 25th anniversary. well, it's like this. it's like talking about how you feel towards death when you're in a birthday celebration. or talking about accomplishments as a politician while you're inside a church. 

don't get me wrong. i totally admire pnoy's courage. but put it in a proper context. get it?


picture from here.

kabayan. he is a former politician who returned back to where he used to be - a broadcaster. this is (again) not new. there are really people who uses his exposure to media as a way to political ambition. noli de castro may not be one of them or maybe. his experience as broadcaster won my trust as one of the trusted journalist, as of today. 

my take? he is just doing his job as a broadcaster. he's being vocal of what he think is right. even though i am self confessed politician hater, i still love kabayan as what he is today. people may still call him as the vice president but he's still my kabayan as a journalist. however, he should have at least lay low and be crucial with his words. kabayan should realize that he used to be a political figure during gma's regime. so every words that will came out from his mouth will really be something.

picture from here.

in general, freedom of expression is applicable to both sides. kabayan as a broadcaster and noynoy as the president. i both love them. communication is a two way street. filipinos to government and government to filipinos. so what? this is a healthy communication.
