bro, dont forget Jim Paredes dad died in an airplane crash with our famous president Ramon Magsaysay...He was the Press Secretary? correct me if I am wrong.

Jim Paredes is a typical Atenean, much like Rizal. Travel the world, see the good things the world has to offer... and share it back to the Filipinos...

Rizal has already done it... I'm waiting for the time when he has already experienced the best life has to offer in Aussie and later give back to us the fresh ideas & new insights he discovered...

Heck he's back... As a judge I think of a reality show.. and APO has the compilation CD again... I guess business is good again that's why he has come back...

if not for this thread, hindi ko na maala-ala taong ito. if not for the controversial inquirer article, walang dramatic effect yung comeback ni jim paredes. yes, bad publicity is still publicity.

just be ready to pay the price.

a knife. While there, slash the pillow and let all the feathers fly
out to where the wind takes it. If a newspaper wishes to make amends
about a false report later on, it becomes as futile as picking up all
the feathers again to restore the reputation of anyone.

Alas, I've just been had. If I had a newspaper right now, I would be
tempted to run a the banner which reads, "Should we all give up on the
Inquirer?'

this is why i shifted from the Inquirer to Philippine Star months ago...

I've had enough of PDI's sensationalizing, negativism and rumor-mongering. Of course, this is only my opinion. PEACE to all!

i believe so many pillows have already been slashed, so many feathers scattered in the wind for the sake of 'circulation'.

Kinda reminds me of ABS-CBN's 'ratings' obsession.

Again PEACE to all

:car:

Sacrificing their basic responsibilities in the altar of profit...tsk tsk tsk. Sad state of affairs.

Pre ako yan JIM

Anyway, every story has two faces. It just boils down to what face you are looking at.
