by pinoywatchdogPinoyWatchDog.Com is committed to the highest level of factual, well written journalism that some Filipino media around the world routinely censor, denying you, readers, the whole truth, because of business, governmental and religious relations between news organizations and these institutional Goliaths.
We will carry the banner, “Uncensored,” addressing issues of concern in our worldwide community, like corruption, injustice, freedom of the press, extra-judicial murders, divorce, family planning, abortion, women’s rights, and environmental issues. We will be reporting on dishonesty in all levels of our government, locally and in the old country, and we will stay determined not to be influenced by forces that would seek to divert us from our core mission of reporting the truth.
Community members are innately endowed with a civic duty to serve as a sentinel, a Tanod Bayan, applauding virtue while condemning dishonesty, corruption, fraud and deceit. PinoyWatchDog welcomes differing views and challenges to our assertions of fact and opinion, welcoming lively debate and dissent, and walking hand in hand with same-minded believers in truth. To quote from the great book: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” John 8:32.
PinoyWatchDog.com abhors the “cut-and-paste” journalism currently being practiced by some of the community newspapers in our midst, publishing safe, vanilla-flavored stories and staying away from stories that document systemic corruption and dishonesty in the Philippine government because doing so might negatively impact their publishing businesses. There will be no “cut and paste” stories from wire services and from Philippine newspaper sources. We will have only original stories, columns and commentaries, but we will also sprinkle our issues with humor, satire and parody that, hopefully, would entertain and cause everyone to reflect on the truth, which is our reason for being.
We look forward to utilizing our canine-like eyes, ears and noses to work for the common good of the community and to challenge our readers’ senses to be active contributors to this journey. Truth is really our mantra, if you don’t mind our saying so one more time. We will be the temporary companions and stewards of the metaphorical dog.
