It's Media Industry's Fault: The Christopher Lao Incident

Hindi natin masisisi ang isang istasyong mayroong 24-hour-round news network na kinakailangang makapaghatid ng balita sa tao upang mapunan ang mga line-up ng istorya nito, ngunit hindi nga ba? Ang nangyari kay Christopher Lao ay hindi niya kasalanan o hindi niya katangahan, kasalanan ng industriya ng midya na obligadong makapaghatid ng pera sa istasyong pinagsisilbihan nito at hindi serbisyo publiko kahit na nasa harap mo na ang sasakyang lumulubog at nakarolyo pa ang kamera mo.


I can't blame a person who badly needs (thinking that he is reviewing for the bar examinations) to pass by a place which he thinks is passable because the media who were there- which pledges to give 'genuine public service' didn't warm him in the first place. In the Philippines a person can still drive and pass by a flooded place with him thinking that his vehicle's motor is still safe. But with a very steep street and if it is your first time to pass there, you can't immediately estimate how deep the flood is.
