Forgive me...

but is that light orange I'm seeing?

We are 128th for 2007 in world press freedom ranking given out by Reporter's Without Borders (which, by the way, has a very cool .gif logo).

Either our human rights record really improved, or other countries' worsened.

What do you think?

I beg to disagree kasi dapat yellow o green yung sa Pinas kasi mas matindi umatake ang mga reporter natin dito kumpara sa maraming bansa sa Africa. Di ko mapaniwalaan yun na daig tayo ng maraming bansa sa Africa.

pwede.

pero

ang pilinas na bansang wala sa estado ng (lantarang) giyera, ay pang-anim sa impunity index. taob afghanistan at pakistan (please refer to http://www.pcij.org/blog/?p=2307 and http://pcij.org/i-report/2008/impunity.html).

oh well, statistics are one thing. what's important is that we don;t alienate it from its context

belated happy (whatdaf?!) press freedom day pala.

(ansarap ng mga reply mo stray. parang porn. stimulating. maraming salamat [smiley])

"Philippines 0.289 rank 6"

kalokohan yang stat na yan. wala pa ring bansa na pwedeng tawaging pandak ang pangulo o kaya labandera.

Did i hear "improved" on the choices?

Pasyon, Emmanuel C. said...

tama.
pero di lang siguro yun ang sukatan ng kalayaan.

kung susuriin ang oryentasyon at moda ng produksyon ng malalaking media outfits makikinita na ito'y nakasandal sa estado poder (maliban sa ilan; laging may resistance).

kaya naman umuusbong ang alternatibong media tulad ng bulatlat at pinoy weekly (endorser?).

di ba para makita ang bituin sa umaga kelangan pang bumaba sa balon?

tayo di na kelangan bumaba ng balon.

pluma, am hoping that we did improve.
however, (if ever we really did improve) we should not settle for this "improvement".

fervently hoping.

IDK about the human rights record pero I totally agree with stray cat. It seems that the media in the Philippines canned their inhibitions and braved into the war. Which is good. Dala lang sila ng .45 caliber and they're good to go.

light saber pwede pa.
