THE ULTRA TRAGEDY

4 February 2006, 9:35 AM,, A news bulletin halted the broadcast of DICE..

"Nagkaroon po ng Stampede sa ULTRA sa Unang anibersaryo ng Wowowee",, Julius Babao said,

It was shocking to hear the news,, As Joey Villarama pictured the ULTRA (particularly in Javier St. where the Stampede happened) through his phone patch,, It was harrowing and, yet, shocking,, After Joey's phone report,, I saw the Live Video of the Incident.. I saw bodies,, wrapped in "banig" and rice sacks.. I heard Mr. Wowowee himself,, Willie Revillame, cried over the phone and yeah.. he cried

Picture this,, You are the host of your own show and thousands gathered to watch and win prizes intended for the poor folks of ours,, And yet, a tragedy struck in your Anniversary in which 74 people perished (mostly elder women) and more than 600 injured,, How will you celebrate your anniversary in that?!?

At least, for A DAY, no Network War happened,, But as I scanned my community Newspaper stand this morning,, I saw a Gossip column headline of Ador Saluta..

"Joey De Leon,, Niloko ang trahedya sa Wowowee" (sic)

Well, We'll get to the bottom of this next post

Nakakalungkot talaga ang nangyaring trahedya nung sabado. Ipagdasal na lamang po natin ang mga ang mga namatay, ang mga pamilya na naiwan nila, mga nasaktan at pati na rin sina Willie Revillame at ang staff ng Wowowee na makabangon sila sa napakasaklap na pangyayaring ito. Sana talaga ay hindi na muling mangyari ang trahedyang ito. At sana huwag naman ito ikatuwa ng mga ilang mga taong nais ay mapabagsak ito para lamang sa ratings. Wala na silang puso kung ganun. Buhay ng tao ang binuwis rito. Yun lamang ang masasabi ko.

Bilang anime fan, wala naman sigurong puwang sa lahat na gamitin sa katatawanan ang nangyaring trahedya...

Bilang anime fan, masasabi kong may mga taong galit pa rin kay Joey de Leon at ginagamit ang kanyang pangalan at kanyang talino sa komedya para siraan siya...

Bilang anime fan, tungkulin natin na ipanalangin at bigyan ng moral support ang mga nabiktima sa stampede...

Bilang anime fan, tunay na naapektuhan ang ating buhay matapos ang pangyayari...

Who, Why and When to Blame in ABS-CBN’s fiasco

Last 3 October 2006, I sent a letter to Abante Columnist Jojo Gabinete through Anime Kabayan. I detailed my resentment over on three W’s, Who, When and Why Who to blame, technically, some geniuses in ABS-CBN do not use their minds well, like Gabby Lopez and Charo Santos (heck considering that she is the programming head of Channel 2 Manila), they hire the services of those “incompetent incognitos” to helm over the anime programming of ABS-CBN. They almost ran out of ideas on what to do over promotions and program management (talking about loss of PR). When to blame, NOW , that time is now, I almost lost my voice over on the assertion that although there is Hero TV, we still have ABS-CBN and we are waiting for it . The timeframe for the airing of GSD is getting late, definitely late . , We are not warning them of the consequences once the rival network airs their gambit, Bleach . However if ABS-CBN decides to compete with Bleach, some things should be done for th...

I have A Bad Feeling About HeroZone

Today, ABS-CBN will release their new programming lineup as part of their newfound aggressiveness on the Mega Manila Ratings game. And As I see it on the PDI Ad yesterday. I sense that, Yeah, Yakitate, Cha-Cha and Other Classics will return in the morning schedule . but how about the AFTERNOON? Like. ABS will be premiering it's new movie block " Pinoy Movie Hits " later with Sigaw as their premiere offering.. But I checked the issue today...erm..Where is HeroZone? I mean, the Weekday HeroZone Block?!?!?!, The Law of Ueki and Eyeshield 21! !!! I thought, it is still part of the schedule, but my scare has come for the worst because ABS-CBN is not airing Weekday HeroZone plugs for the past 2 days. And. The Movie programming runs for 2 hours max. so this means, After the movie comes the Wendy-Bruce teleserye starrer "Margarita" I have a bad feeling. Has ABS-CBN Removed weekday HeroZone again as a sacrifice for their aggressiveness on Mega Manila? Is the ABS-CBN Aft...
