Samsara
A Buddhist monk is awakened
after a meditative sleep
of three years
three months
three weeks
and three days
and before his puberty.
NTC on ANS-CBN
My take on this crisis—-
Firstly, the NTC will be doing its function
when it issued the order to cease and desist
the operations of the ABS-CBN network
after the expiration of its franchise/license to operate.
Secondly, before NTC can issue this order,
it must have given the network and its owners
a written warning that the franchise and/or license to operate
is about to expire.
Proof of receipt is required.
Afterwards,
The owners of the ABS-CBN network
should provide in writing
their intent to re-apply for license to operate,
or ask for a deferment of proceedings in lieu of time to re-apply,
or change organization,
or a change in purpose or operation,
or re-incorporate the ownership.
This is a simple business problem
if there were amiable communication
between the owners and the regulators.
Thirdly, I would recommend
that the network refrain from re-applying
to license the same franchise,
as this process may require another lengthy wait.
A change in the network name may be better
if this will keep the license active
even in a temporary basis.
If, however, the defense lawyers are matinik enough,
They can just negotiate.
Hey, nagpasiklab na tayo para-pareho,
ipakita naman natin
na marunong din tayong mag mea culpa.
Huwag na tayong mag ergohan pa.
Daanin na lang natin sa bote!!!
Malapit na rin ang pasko!
Diba, diba, diba?
(it is probably only in this country where exists a time limit
on the licenses of media and communication networks)
Silent Running
This is more than a space station
It is an earth station.
Sentimental Journey
The first tear jerker on record,
my record,
so find out why.
ABS-CBN
This network of ABS-CBN
has been a bulwark in Philippine media.
In a no-brainer, macho-seeking impulse,
the NTC will spark a constitutional crisis
when it ordered a cease and desist operation
due to the expiration of its franchise.
This is stupid,
Any franchise can and will be renewed as long as
the network did not endeavor to act against the principles of
Democracy for the purpose of actively fomenting a rebellion.
This action again proves my theory
that the leaders of the government
of the Republic of the Philippines
are strict and straight in their love of country
for the first two years of administration,
after which they learn the sinister evils brought about
by the powers afforded them.
And thereafter they use their ingrown horns,
instead of their heads,
to govern.
Whatever the excuse of the NTC to block the franchise
of ABS-CBN, this will backfire.
The crisis has afforded the network the biggest
publicity it will ever receive.
Deserving notice has been given the international press
about the plight of the network which in turn has received
sympathetic words from the international press.
