For the first time in months, it didn’t feel so stressful to sit in front of the TV watching bad news and more bad news. On the first day of an experiment called alert level systems 1-5, supposedly a less strict classification of rules on behaving in public. Pure coincidence? Maybe. Let’s have more of the same.
Viewers wondered if the networks had a tacit agreement among themselves to focus on the 100 Days Before Christmas instead of the Eight Months Before Elections. What a relief, to be spared the noise and ear ache coming from loud public officials not behaving at their best. No back-and-forth-ing between the President and senators. No swapping of necessarily partisan views between the Office of the President and the Office of the VP.
PNP Chief Guillermo Eleazar summed it up as a “generally peaceful” day as people lined up in silence outside Quiapo church to pray. Did the General pray for machos, toughies, recalcitrants and recidivists behaving for once, for a day? Without the usual sound bites producing heat and no light anyway, this was one news day with a difference, a generally quiet day. The lantern makers in Greenhills glowed as brightly as their star-like wares. Shoppers, browsers, diners added a spark of life to the lavishly lighted malls, all of them more than ready to welcome Christmas. Restaurant owners and servers were grateful for a 10-30 percent improvement in sales.
OCTA’s Dr. Guido David sounded a cautiously optimistic note, hoping for a slow, slight downward trend after an expected peak of COVID-19 cases. In exchange, the TV screen – all channels, apparently – comforted viewers with a display to cool pandemic-fatigued eyes: a freshly groomed panorama of Manila’s green green parks, Luneta and Intramuros, lively fountains splashing gaily for their lovely visitors, like it was their first day in Eden after the longest exile.
and I hate ABS-CBN for always using IGINIIT.... can't they be simpler?
In the past several months, news has always been bad news..well maybe 1 out of 10 is good, so that's still bad. So each & every time I switch to a news channel, I tell my hubby 'let's watch the bad news'.
COVID 19 cases have rise again in the Philippines because lot of Filipinos immune system have weaken even those already vaccinated due to constant hearing the ruckus and brouhaha among government officials which people think of dismay what would be the outcome if these linger on.
