Why are we here? Isn’t it too late for us to join the bandwagon of newspaper publication and print media in our midst? Do we have something new to give impact to our existence, or is it simply a desire to do some grandstanding, which ultimately may brand all our staff stupid and a bunch of misdirected fools from the Fourth Estate?Where are the breeds of younger journalists who can be the guardians of the truth and expose the anomalies victimizing our people? Do we have a shortage of media practitioners who will give priority to exposing the crooks in the society before their safety if only to help in the reduction of the glorified criminals in our midst?
How can we stop the practice by some alleged journalists or pseudo-columnists who twist and reverse the truth for a few dollars to the detriment of their honest-to-goodness peers?
We are here to accept the challenges from the community who kept on asking, if there no more or other newspapers that will answer what we want?
The Pinoywatchdog.com was born out of these challenges.
We are committed to give you the facts as they happened. There will be no sacred cows that will block our way. We will give you the exact scenario. Oh yes, we will name names if needed.
And only print news or articles with community and news value. To wit, we will not publish anything that will serve as icing on the personalities of the undesirables in the community. Neither are we going to picture on our front page the car of our editor which was hit by a fallen acacia tree; nor shall we repeatedly trod on the footsteps of people to avoid trying them by publicity repeatedly by simply juggling or playing around with the same facts to show we are always on top of everything.
We will not pay people to create situations, nor invent and script crimes to downgrade lawyers, medical professionals and others.
We will not act like foolish dogs trailing people and preempt judgments to them on charges, which, more often than not, were fabricated. Neither shall we act as if we have the laws on our hands and say ergo…you are guilty even before conviction.
Our staff will not do that.
We will not publish the same news story by simply showing different pictures taken on the same spot if only to fill our space.
We will give you what you need; what you ought to know and what we feel is the real news for you, our reading public. Let no holy cows scare us as we highlight the truth, for at the end we subscribe to the biblical dictum “You shall know the truth; and the truth shall set you free” John 8:32.
PINOY ARMAGEDDONS ARE DESTROYING OUR IMAGE
The image of a Filipino is shattered and broken by a smorgasbord of negative traits not commonly seen in those living in the Philippines.
We have a large pool of self-proclaimed leaders claiming unbelievable achievements, which if dated will extend even before their actual birthdays.
So unbelievable are the ways that they project themselves.
Given the opportunity, here comes a guy who claimed to be a lawyer back home but could not even speak properly. nor observe his grammar, thereby making Mr. Websters a laughing stock. This guy always says “I would like to make mention here;” rather than “I would like to mention here.” Many times he spoke without time limit and kept on repeating what he previously had spoken, only to stop when he heard the audience snoring all at the same time.
A self-proclaimed mayor of a non-existing town, he showed his courage and lack of scruple by calling himself mayor at every opportunity.
Comes now this man from Pandacan (as in pandak) who could not grow taller than a fire hydrant (bocay sendio) because of the weights of the different logos of the associations he joined. They are seen on all the souvenir program ads he paid as if these associations endorsed whatever he is doing.
Mr. Pandak even went to the extent of going to the Philippines in order to “sumbong” to their provincial officer on several occasions a group of Pinoys that took over his chair and occupied his table. Behind it was the desire to sabotage the coming affair of this group this coming December. As expected, the government official did not go to the level of Pandak and claimed that his “sumbong” is childish and irrelevant.
Not contented with the denials he received, his group of robots who kissed the butt and footmarks of Pandak everytime he walks, or who hang his pictures on their altars, joined Pandak in passing words around that a December anniversary by one group will not push through. Pandak himself passed feelers that he was the only one capable of doing the fiesta and no others. Be that as it may, why then did Pandak move heaven and earth (except hell where his friends reside), in order to stop the group’s affair; and have the other party’s activity under him? Plain and simple, they will not plan any more activity because the December affair by itself is super enough.
This early, the man from Pandakan should wake up. Associations he originally joined were divided because of him. Where are the Kalayaan groups now, where are the Kapampangans, and some others? Divided, right?
Another man in the midst of the Pinoy community in Los Angeles is a guy who claimed to be Asia’s best balladeer. Susme, you cannot claim that title yet when you can only sing Kapampangan Ku and God Bless America. Baka peria or gloryeta balladeer puwede pa. Don‘t hurry up kabalen, You will soon be there. Before that, make up your mind: Which do you want, to be a singer, videographer or simply a robot of Pandak?
Next week, we will expose and unearth Pinoys who made money, establishing foundations, concerts here and there with the performers having a lot of alalays in tow that court the suspicions of the government bureau. A Pinay singer was banned from entering the USA before because she brought fifteen manicurists and make-up artists on her show. The IRS stepped in and said, “How much was involved? Do you know a karate player who produced his own newspaper and advertised karate tournaments of Pinoy martial artists from Luzon flocked to the US embassy in Manila and obtained US visas. We did not know if the tournament pushed through, but the newspaper was closed and the publisher, instead of teaching karate, is now teaching ballroom dancing and selling herbal medicine.
For those who were hit by our expose…you were dogged. The Pinoywatchdog had bitten you to the bone. He will always watch you 24/7.
