Sana ilabas yung reliable source ng Philippine mainstream media..otherwise fake news sila. 😱

1/12 Latest piece: Marcos regime’s suppression of the press starts with Congress’ bullying of bloggers The hearing the other day by three merged committees of Congress is the start of the Marcos regime’s suppression of the press, with congressmen turning their guns on bloggers —

2/12 I won’t be surprised if next would be libel suits against opinion writers.

3/12 With Congress’ committees turning into Marcos’ Gestapo — as it did in their hearings investigating former president Duterte and daughter Sara — two female bloggers were shamelessly bullied to tears by, yes, the same two bullies in previous committee hearings.

4/12 The two demonstrated gross ignorance of what social media posts are. These aren’t “straight news.” They are opinion pieces and reportage of, yes, sometimes rumors. Opinion writers in the past termed these rumors and anonymous claims they reported as coming “from the

5/12 The legendary Luis Beltran, one of the most respected journalists pre- and post-martial law, called his sources a “bubwit.” So did the equally legendary Teodoro Valencia often report even astounding things citing “Malacañang sources.”

Grabe pala ang pagbaligtad nila ma-justify lang illegal arrest of FPRRD...

1/12 Latest article: SWS' shameful role in anti-Duterte propaganda “For the third time in two years, the Social Weather Station poll survey outfit has allowed itself to be used in creating and spreading a false portrayal of Filipinos’ opinion regarding the Dutertes.” The Feb.

2/12 The headline “51 percent of Filipinos say Duterte accountable for drug war deaths” is misleading. This claim is based on a survey in which only 900 persons allegedly thought so — for such an important issue, the headline should have mentioned it was a poll.

3/12 More importantly, the SWS poll question is seriously flawed. Any professional pollster would right away see that the SWS question is biased and emotionally charged to result in the desired answer, which the pro-Marcos, pro-US propaganda firm Stratbase Consultancy that paid

4/12 The SWS question: “Gaano po kayo sumasang-ayon o hindi sumasang-ayon na dapat panagutin si dating Pang. Rodrigo Duterte sa mga patayang may kaugnayan laban sa illegal na droga noong panahon ng kanyang administrasyon?”

5/12 In Filipino, patayan is a very emotionally charged word that suggests a very deliberate massacre people should be aghast over.

6/12 It is a rule in professional polls for the pollster to reasonably inform the respondent of the context and even background of the question so that he knows what he is being asked to respond to. 🔗 bit.ly/428WFDT

7/12 Compare that with Pew Research’s 2019 poll on illegal immigration: it explained the background and offered multiple alternatives before asking for the respondent’s opinion. That is responsible polling.

8/12 If SWS used Pew’s responsible approach, it would have asked: “From 2016 to 2019, the Duterte administration undertook an intensified campaign to rid the country of illegal drugs... Do you think Duterte should be charged with murder for these killings?”

9/12 That kind of question is specific and fair — unlike SWS’ vague use of “accountable” (may kaugnayan) and the emotionally charged patayan. With a proper poll, 90% of Filipinos would likely reject the idea of charging Duterte with murder. 🔗 bit.ly/428WFDT

10/12 The flawed poll was commissioned by Stratbase Consultancy. SWS released the misleading results on March 19, 2025 — just a week after the Marcos regime illegally surrendered Duterte to the ICC. It was clearly a PR move to justify the act.

11/12 SWS has become a tool for the anti-Duterte conspiracy. In January, it ran another Stratbase-funded poll claiming 41% supported impeaching Sara Duterte — omitting those unaware of the impeachment to inflate the figure.

12/12 What a debasement of opinion polls, a modern tool of democracy. Have you no shame?

A testament that the crime rate in the Philippines has gone down to 18.4%. Good job, PNP! 🫡 #ctto
