Sass Explains how INQUIRER twist and slants NEWS























Dear INQUIRER.net,

I will explain to you bakit kayo natatawag na BASURA. Just look at your paper today. Your headline: "Jails full of addicts, rehab centers has few."

When I read the article, there's nothing there that says that those who are in jail got imprisoned because they are merely users. Were they imprisoned because they were JUST addicts? 

Your resource person, Chief Supt. Allan Iral, said that "more than 80 percent (of the jail) population are there due to drugs."

Your writer Philip Tubeza is so fucking lazy to ask what's the major violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 committed by most of those inmates? Possession of paraphernalia? Trafficking? WHAT?! Is Tubeza so busy that he could not check the booking records of the inmates -- and perhaps do a random sampling??? Tubeza could have enriched his article with those information.

"Bigyan ng chance", Lawyer reminds of Gloria's schemes, but admits she might be what PH needs

Attorney Trixie Cruz-Angeles and former President Gloria Arroyo, photo  compiled from Facebook and  ABS-CBN News Attorney Trixie Cruz-Angeles said that she does not fail to acknowledge that former President Gloria Arroyo had her misdeeds, but she just might be what is needed in the Congress. This remark was shared via a Facebook post which was subsequent to Arroyo's recent jump from Pampanga 2nd district representative to Speaker of the House of Representatives this Monday. Arroyo, who was previously  detained for her alleged graft and corruption during her presidency, rose to the position just moments before President Rodrigo Duterte's State of the Nation Address, replacing Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez. "Lets just call it what it is and not make any heroes or martyrs out of flawed (possibly criminal) politicians. GMA as Speaker is political expediency. Speaker Alvarez, while good at passing the president's legislation, was hampered by bad relations ...

Marcos family gives contradictory statements about Bongbong Marcos COVID-19 test result

Tila magkakaiba ang pahayag ng mga kapamilya ni Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr ., 62,  tungkol  sa COVID-19 test result nito. Base sa lumabas na pahayag ni Bongbong mismo kahapon, March 26, nagpa-test na ang dating senador ngunit hindi pa niya nakukuha ang resulta. Sabi ni Bongbong: "As my sister said, a few days ago I was feeling a little under the weather and as a result went to get checked. We are still waiting for the results." Pero sa hiwalay na statement ng misis niyang si Atty. Liza Araneta Marcos, lumabas na raw ang resulta ng COVID-19 test ni Bongbong. Negatibo raw ito. Ayon pa kay Atty. Liza, hindi lang si Bongbong ang nagpa-COVID-19 test, kundi pati silang pamilya at ang buong staff nila, at lahat sila ay negatibo. Maliban dito, isang araw lang ay nakuha na raw nila ang resulta. Bahagi ng statement ni Atty. Liza: "Yesterday, we had ourselves and our entire staff tested for COVID-19. Fortunately, we all tes...
