Makapakesaw and makapasawa so manbasa ed saray periodikon ipapalapag ed Manila. Mailet so walan kanonotan da ya nabasa ed saray balita ya ipapaway da.
I am no fan of PDI whose news are sometimes
sensationalized without any shred of evidence or truth. What we need now is a
daily newspaper that not only caters to Filipinos but to the whole world. Even
its byline, "Latest Philippine News for Filipinos", lacks the
confidence that a paper should have. Only for Filipinos? How parochial! The El
Pais had the temerity to say: "el periodico global en Espanol" or
"the global newspaper in Spanish."
Iray balitan agawad arum ya bansa et nanlapud syndicated news agencies singa Associated Press, AFP etc.
Anggapo ray Pilipinon correspondent ed singa Iraq ya mansulat no antoy nagagawa diman. Odino diad Syria o inerman ya pasen na mundo.
It is almost always that they rely on foreign news agencies.
Opinion pieces deal with local issues only with no Filipino expert giving his opinion on what is happening in Europe, Africa, Middle East, US, Latin America. Yet, Filipinos are scattered all over the world, employed in every kind of work. To widen the perspective of every Filipino, it is necessary that we must know the world around us not through other foreign publications and media.
What we need is a critical and balanced news publication or tv station that gets information from around the world by sending its own reporters and writers.
We must see the world through our own eyes and ears, our own senses. Only then can we assume our rightful place in the global arena.
