Since 2016, one Jose Antonio Custodio has been interviewed by so many media outlets ranting against President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration and the military. He recently declared that the military would soon topple Duterte, angry at the latter’s termination of the Visiting Forces Agreement .Mainstream media — among them the, GMA 7, ABS-CBN and the Salim-controled network TV5 — describe Custodio as a “military expert,” “military historian” or a “defense analyst.
For somebody who claims to be a defense analyst, the scant but revealing information provided in his FB page reads: “Works at Freelance Mowdel [sic] Past: Office of the President of the Philippines-Malacañang, Consultant, June 2010 to 30 June 2016.” He doesn’t say at all how he makes a living after 2016.
As in the case of Heydarian, and in contrast to its other non-resident fellows, whose academic background is described at length, nothing more is written there about Custodio. Nothing else on why and how he is a military expert. Philippine media has been gullible, lazy or continues to have a Yellow/Red bias in their choice of “experts” talking on issues. For instance, TV5 has a talk-show program self-importantly titled “The Chiefs,” since the hosts are the editors in chief of the Salim group’s four media outlets. It is these editors’ job to assure the quality of their reporters, that they are not being fooled, or worse paid by people they cover.
Aliw much dun sa 'Nagtitinda lang ng lugaw sa kanto, expert na., I've seen so much laziness among media reporters in digging for better reporting and well-written story. That the attitude in some is 'bahala kayo magbasa o hindi basta mag se-sweldo dito sa sinulat ko. '
This never heard guy is an expert of fake news! Just like the rest of his yellow partymates.
Even if there's a military junta, the DDS will not hesitate to defend the President.
