Why?
Yes, the closure of ABS - CBN signifies crab mentality. And especially those
members of the House of Representatives that voted for the closure of the ABS -
CBN. This kind of people has lots of reasons, and they will do all means just to
ensure the closure of this huge network. It was during these hardest times that
we should be connected but what they did displace the right of every person to
hear the news and be aware of his/her surroundings.
(2) Is the closing of ABS-CBN during the times of great Pandemic and Typhoons beneficial to
government and the progress of the whole country? Why?
(3) Hypothetical Question: Do you think, if ABS-CBN was not closed, will there be lessened deaths and
accidents caused by the typhoon in the hard hit areas recently? Why?
Possibly yes, the dissemination of news during this time is very crucial. Especially
during the typhoon. It is undeniably true that ABS - CBN could reach much
further than other news networks that we have here in the Philippines, and it was
surely helpful if the people could be reached by the news. But there is no proper
equation that it could lessen the deaths and accidents during the typhoon but it
is possible. Early and proper dissemination of news can help those people that
are vulnerable to flee and ready themselves.
