Bishop Bastes Versus Bastos Broadcasters

Bishop Bastes Vs Bastos Broadcasters (BB vs BB)

Sorsogon Bishop Arturo M. Bastes said the Kapisanan ng mga Broadcasters ng Pilipinas (KBP) should regulate programs being aired on FM stations at midnight.

The prelate alleged that some midnight disc jockeys (DJs) are using sexual innuendos when they give advice to callers who have relationship problems.

The bishop claimed that he received reports that midnight DJs are “using foul language” on-air from “a couple, teachers and even drivers,” but he has not personally listened to these radio stations yet.

Bishop Bastes encouraged FM radio jocks to play religious songs instead.

I have two words to say to the Bishop.

Sex sells.

For the FM radio stations, they could only resort to sexual innuendos to make their shows a little bit more interesting while being discrete at the same time, specifically to target their “horny” or “sexually-active” listeners.

This is obviously done to spice up the usual dead or sleepy hours of the night where listeners need more than just coffee to keep awake.

Insomniacs or sleep-deprived individuals are given a “tasty treat” when served some “mouthwatering” and “tounge-tingling” side dishes along with the main course of discussion.

We Will Survive! – Kris Aquino

Kris Aquino breaks her silence

Kris Aquino finally broke her silence regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to have Hacienda Luisita distributed to the farm workers as per the long-standing plan of CARP, and sent a series of tweets in Twitter and told a tale worth telling.

It was about surviving no matter how much was lost, and would be lost now that the “mangagawang bukid” of the Cojuangco-owned hectares of land will finally get the land that was promised to them several years ago. It is unfortunate that some of these farm workers have died already without seeing their dream to finally till a land of their own come to a reality.

Kris Aquino’s series of tweets on Twitter:

“Tomorrow Nov 27 will mark our Dad, Ninoy Aquino’s 79th birthday. I believe PNoy inherited our Dad’s courage in fighting for what is lawful & just.”

“Since Luisita is very much in the news, may I share a beautiful story? When our Dad was imprisoned during Martial Law, our lolo Pepe Cojuangco visited him (lolo Pepe died in the mid 70s).”

“Our Dad was being offered a deal, everything taken away from our Mom’s parents would be “given back” by the Marcos regime as long as my Dad signed papers admitting his guilt in the made up charges leveled against him.”

“My Dad lost his own father at 15 & Lolo Pepe was really like his own father. My Dad told our lolo he’d sign the papers because he didn’t want to see my grandparents suffer & lose so much.”

“Lolo Pepe told Dad, Ninoy kaya namin. I’ll take care of Cory & the kids. U fight for what is right because we believe in u.”

“I hope that gives most of u a clearer picture of what my Mom’s family is like. How they suffered & stood w/ my Dad & took care of us through the worst. To think, Ninoy Aquino was only their in law.”

“We respect the Supreme Court, we survived even when they took everything from us, including our Dad’s life- & we will survive even this.”
