Hopes this Christmas 2010
My hope is that the Kapamilya stars past and present develop further in their skills and innate abilities, serve as noble examples to others, take part in nation-building and faith-building, and find themselves back home in ABS-CBN.
My hope also is that the Patrol ng Pilipino continue to be beacons of hope for countrymen, defenders and heralds of Truth, bridges for more and more citizen patrollers to cover more news and deliverers of more good news for every Pinoy amidst the competition.
This is Kapamilya Jan, wishing you one happy Christmas season!

Spending Advent and Christmas w/ABS-CBN
Dear Padz,
Kamusta na po kayo? Nawa OK lang po kayo sa tulong ng Diyos. Matagal na po tayong hindi magkita o nag-usap. Sana po ngayong Pasko o bago mag-Pasko magkita na po tayo. I missed the good talks we have-talks about faith and daily life.
Hindi ko alam kung paano ko po ilalarawan sa inyo ang kalagayan ko po. But it seems the job I have now is continuing to sharpen my attributes-both in positive and negative ways. Sa pagtatapos ng kontrata ko next year, titignan ko po kung tama na ang panahong inilagi ko po sa institusyong pinapasukan ko po ngayon.
Pagdating ng Pasko, kadalasan ang iniisip ng karamihan (at aaminin kong ako rin) ay ang wishes, dreams and hopes na inaasahan nating matupad. Just recently, I am getting sense that Christmas is more than fulfillment of hopes. Christmas and even Advent needs people like me to be fulfillment of hope. More than fulfillment of hopes, wishes and dreams, Advent and Christmas is still, like another season of the year, a season for change, for betterment, for keeping of promises, for people to be fulfillment of change and hope.
Iyan po ang mga umiikot sa isip ko nang bisitahin ko ang parol.abs-cbn.com. Hindi lang basta ito ang Christmas site ngayong taon ng ABS-CBN. It's like its citizen campaign Ako Ang Simula for the holiday season. Kadalasang tanong ni Sir Ted Failon sa TV Patrol: Ano ang sisimulan mong pagbabago? Sinagot ko po ang tanong na iyan sa Parol.ABS-CBN.com. Pumili ako ng online parol, at na-type ko doon ang aking pangako/plano/gagawin para sa pagbabago para sa mas ikabubuti ko.
Kayo rin po--pwede ninyo pong isabit ang inyong pangako/plano/gagawin para sa pagbabago sa parol.abs-cbn.com. Pwede rin kayong manghikayat ng mga kaibigan, kakilala, kapamilya, kahit sino pa. Magandang gawain po iyan ngayong Advent, at lalo na ngayong Pasko at kahit patapos ang Pasko.
Talaga pong naenggayo po ako sa misyon ng Parol.ABS-CBN.com. Kung gusto niyo po, pwede ninyo pong basahin ang misyon nito dito:
http://parol.abs-cbn.com/about.aspx
I truly believe in the mission of Parol.ABS-CBN.com just like I believe in the words of the architect of Ako Ang Simula-Ms. Maria Ressa that "Change can actually start within you and me." Advent is really a perfect time to visit and post commitments/pledges for oneself @ Parol.ABS-CBN.com.
Hanggang dito na lamang po ako. Maraming salamat po sa pagbasa ng mensahe ko. Nawa maging mas makabuluhan po ang ating Advent.
Your brother,
Jan
PS: As of 2:30pm 11-29-2010, 440 pa lang ang nag-commit. Nawa po kayo rin. Goal of the site: to reach a record of 1M pledges. (At hindi ko po kalilimutan ang Advent recollection at confession.)
Parol.ABS-CBN.com Update (12:22pm, 11-29-2010)
440 Pinoy na ang nakiisa para sa pagbabago ngayong Adbyento at Pasko!

ABS-CBN Taps "Biggest Touch Screen TV" (First in Philippine TV) for Halalan 2010: Ako Ang Simula! Boto Mo I-Patrol Mo!
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/05/07/10/abs-cbn-taps-biggest-touch-screen-tv-poll-coverage
ABS-CBN taps 'biggest touch screen TV' for poll coverage
abs-cbnNEWS.com
Posted at 05/07/2010 12:53 PM | Updated as of 05/07/2010 1:58 PM
MANILA, Philippines - Creating an army of citizen journalists, breaking on-the-edge news reports, and courageously setting the news agenda best define ABS-CBN’s year-long election coverage that goes high-gear on Monday (May 10) to report on the country’s first computerized polls that will determine the next leaders of the nation.
ABS-CBN will be using what is probably the biggest touch screen television ever used on Philippine TV news and a new broadcast technology called “augmented reality,” which combines computer-generated imagery with live video in real time.
Using the touch screen TV, ABS-CBN anchors can easily pull up information on the candidates while a report progresses. Augmented reality, meanwhile, places an anchor in a virtual environment where he or she can interact with computer graphics that show the latest updates on the elections.
These technological innovations are just the latest pioneering efforts initiated by ABS-CBN, which scored several firsts in the past twelve months since it launched “Boto Mo, i-Patrol Mo: Ako ang Simula.”
ABS-CBN was the first to create a movement of citizen journalists, the first to organize debates that used new media to engage viewers via Twitter and Facebook, the first to measure audience instant reactions during debates via Wireless Audience Response System (WARS), and the first to hold an election concert that gathered its thousands of citizen patrollers.
Apart from courageous and ground-breaking news stories, ABS-CBN has successfully blended old and new media in engaging audiences, get instant feedbacks, and solicit questions for candidates guesting in their various news and talk show programs.
More than 81,146 citizens have joined BMPM, while more than 67,720 are following on Facebook, and some 11,861 on Twitter as of 6 May 2010.
These groundbreaking projects and stories have made ABS-CBN as the most credible TV network in covering the election campaign as shown in a Pulse Asia survey conducted between 21-25 February 2010, beating competition 63% vs 55%.
ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs head Maria Ressa said the edge of Halalan 2010 rests not only on the technology but also on the “army of change” composed of professional and citizen journalists patrolling the country.
Hundreds of reporters in all ABS-CBN media platforms (television, radio, cable TV, online) will be deployed in different areas in the country to give situationers and updates.
Even celebrities are also taking part in the coverage with Kapamilya stars like Donita Rose, Phoem Barranda, and Janus Del Prado, rock stars Ney Dimaculangan of 6cyclemind and Kean Cipriano of CallaLily also volunteering to patrol for their votes.
Working hand-in-hand with ABS-CBN for this monumental coverage are cause partners Globe Telecommunications, Bayan Communications, STI, The Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin, Business World, Pulse Asia, University of the Philippines School of Economics, YouthVote Philippines, Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting, the Commission on Elections, and the National Movement for Free Elections.
Google, Map Central, REACT, Kontra-Daya, and Life Haven have also joined the cause to boost the online coverage of ABS-CBN Halalan 2010.
Get the latest news on the elections. Stay tuned to ABS-CBN channel 2, Studio 23, ANC, the ABS-CBN News Channel (SkyCable ch. 27), DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable ch. 26), DZMM Radyo Patrol 630, Tambayan 101.9, www.abs-cbnnews.com, and http://botomo.abs-cbnnews.com.

Boto Patrollers: Ako Ang Simula Kaya Boto Ko Ipapatrol Ko Ngayong Halalan 2010!
It was last 11th of May 2009 that ABS-CBN launched the election watch campaign for the 2010 elections about 365 days to go (meaning that was last year and as of today, it's less than 72 hours to go), ABS-CBN
Last year, on 5-11-2009, ABS-CBN started the 365-day countdown to 5-10-2010 with the launch of Halalan 2010: Ako Ang Simula! Boto Mo I-Patrol Mo!
Since then ABS-CBN had thousands to register as voters for this Monday's elections and as Boto Patrollers for the longest time since the campaign began. The patrollers, now almost nearing to a hundred thousand, had been covering the news election-related or not, including the 2009 Philippine Independence Day, the death and funeral of former President Cory Aquino, the Ampatuan Massacre, till this very moment, barely 72 hours before the nationwide polls open. This gave to the common notion of citizen journalism, as mentioned by ABS-CBN Vice President for News Maria Ressa.
All the Boto Patrollers will be reporting now and more than ever this May 10 as part of the network's Election Day coverage. These will form a vital part of the coverage, which includes the media vote count, exit poll, and a collage of reports from ABS-CBN reporters worldwide with special reports and key interviews, commentaries and analyses. Boto Patrollers will appear in the coverage, along with the members of what is considered the country's best News and Current Affairs Organization--not to mention the Kapamilya stars and personalities who will help run the coverage.
So, to you, Boto Patroller, a million thanks and greetings of appreciation for you, and see you this Monday, 4:00am on ABS-CBN!

One Rant Here, Please...
I do not like the way some people treat Maria Ressa after explaining the recent psychiatric document fiasco. These people are very much hard to please and hard to convince! Well, as some people say, "You cannot win them all..."
For the longest time I have known people who continuously tell me that Philippine media and ABS-CBN are always biased. If all media are biased, then Philippine media must stop. I'm sure these people were saturated with campaigns of other media networks trumpeting slogans like "walang pinapanigan, walang kinakampihan". If they are really "walang pinapanigan" (siding with no one), they also mean they do not side with the truth at all ("walang pinapanigan kahit katotohanan")!
For the longest time I have known people who brand the Lopez family as money-hungry. (No thanks to the late dictator Marcos and his minions--dead or alive!)
For the longest time I have known people who brand the Lopez family and ABS-CBN as such with vested interests! Let's admit: all of us have vested interests, and we must wean from having them.
For the longest time I have known people who slam the way ABS-CBN delivers the news even before TV Patrol was born and even during the time Jim Lindenberg was delivering the news on DZBC (now ABS-CBN). I tell them: how do you tell everyone what's happening in your lives? Is it the truthful way or the way they want to hear?
For the longest time I have known people who tag ABS-CBN 's journalism as tainted. Those people must be transparent personally first.
ABS-CBN has finally apologized and will include Kapatiran to the next debates.
Maria Ressa has explained ABS-CBN's side.
My ultimate challenge: Be transparent with yourself! Be truthful to yourself, your spouse/partner/GF/BF/BFF/barkada/family/children! Then bash ABS-CBN News, under one condition. My condition: you follow my next sentence!
Those who are non-sinners (no sins at all since birth) have all the right to throw mud pie at ABS-CBN.
If you still have an axe to grind on ABS-CBN News on the recent events, you better go and alert ABS-CBN through these channels!

An amicable ending for ABS-CBN News with Kapatiran, NP, LP and the rest of the candidates for the elections: that's a Deal. For those still have an axe to grind on ABS-CBN for no reason at all, I would have No Deal with you.

About to Give Feedback on ABS-CBN Re: Broadcast of A Dangerous Life?
I got so many hurtful words on ABS-CBN broadcasting the historic show A Dangerous Life, deeming the broadcast as electioneering in Holy Week. My question: is Noynoy Aquino or another presidentiable a character in the show A Dangerous Life? No mention of the Aquino children were there in the movie--except for Kris, played by Lea Cabusi. (No other article on the web mentioned about Miss Cabusi.)
If you can convince me there's electioneering behind the broadcast of ADL, you better go and alert ABS-CBN through these channels!

ABS-CBN Holy Week Features A Dangerous Life
One thing though I want to ask: where's Santino and May Bukas Pa when it is needed the most, especially this Holy Week? Why not pick the most important highlights of the show from start to end and breeze through the less important ones? I hope for year 2011, Santino and May Bukas Pa will be there on Holy Week. Truly, this is one inspirational drama series that TV and the audience needs these days.
My wish after this Holy Week: the Resurrection Sunday Urbi Et Orbi by the Pope from the Vatican State in the city of Rome in Italy live on ABS-CBN (or at the least in the Catholic Media Network)! It serves to be one good thing to mark Easter. (Just wondering: why not an ABS-CBN and Catholic Media Network team-up?)
For all I know, there will be marathon of the hit series Agua Bendita and some cartoons and live shows for children. (Hope all of those kiddie shows are as inspirational as they can be.) I was so happy to see an Easter Vigil Mass schedule as part of ABS-CBN's Easter Triduum! (I would be happier if Urbi Et orbi will be seen!) I wonder why there was no MMK for the Easter Weekend. More religious specials with Jescom and other Catholic orgs: a must!
I can see that there are Star Cinema family-oriented films there, like the Judy-Ryan starrer Sakal/Sakali/Saklolo, and even the original Kokey, plus the movie version of Princess Sarah (the 1995 version, starring Camille Pratts).
What drew my attention to ABS-CBN's Holy Week sked--the main reason behind this entry--is A Dangerous Life.
I was then 4 years old in 1988 when I saw the already number 1 ABS-CBN advertising heavily its telecast of the Philippine-Australian production. (The Australian producer was the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The show was beamed worldwide, and was seen in the US via HBO.) This early I saw the logo of the show, with pics of Tessie Tomas on TV as Imelda Marcos.
I then saw pics from the show again and again on some ABS-CBN tribute plugs (Anniversary plugs to be exact and some tribute station ID's), making me feel that the show was such a historic feat, because not only it showed the story of the EDSA Revolution but also it aired on the station that lived to experience the fruits of EDSA.
It was when I was studying in DLSU and frequenting its library that I chanced upon a library record of A Dangerous Life. I never knew ABS-CBN broadcast the show non-stop in 1988 for 6 hours! And it was telecast December 1988, with Christmas around the corner! (During that time, TV Patrol was already number 1. ABS-CBN has set up its regional stations in Bacolod, Cebu and Davao, where it launched on that same year its regional editions of TV Patrol.)
It seemed ABS-CBN marked Philippine history with this show. So I took the risk to see the video of the show for the next 6 hours at one library AVR. Thankfully it lasted just 4-5 hours.
And here's what I knew: An English-speaking journalist Tony O' Neil (Gary Bussey) is a bit confused on whether to pursue his compatriot Angie Fox (Rebecca McGuilling) or his newly-found Filipina girlfriend Sally (played superbly by Dina Bonnevie). With Angie learning of Tony and Sally's relationship, she just then cut off his ties with Tony and became chummy with a Colonel Tecson (Roy Alvarez). Tony and Angie were brought together again, due to Sally's death at the hands of the local militia suspecting her being a communist rebel and Colonel Tecson joining other soldiers breaking away from the decades-long administration of President Marcos (played effectively by Ruben Rustia).
And that's where we have a hodge-podge of events Tony and Angie had never before seen in their lives: a nation like the Philippines with such series of tumultuous events--the aftermath of Sen. Ninoy Aquino's assasination wherein Tony himself was at the then Manila International Airport when the senator was shot, the assassination case wherein tears were shed by the dramatic Imelda Marcos (played passionately by Tessie Tomas, so much that she got an Emmy nomination then), the 1986 snap elections, the EDSA Revolution and the start of the presidency of Ninoy's wife Cory (played graciously by Laurice Guillen). A lot of the best Filipino actors played their parts in the movie as the EDSA setting unfolded: Spanky Manicad, Joonee Gamboa, the late Johnny Delgado (Tatang as we know from May Bukas Pa and Anghel na Walang Langit, and Laurice's hubby), Ray Ventura, Rez Cortez, Jaime Fabregas (yes, the Father Anthony we know from May Bukas Pa), Rolando Tinio, Noel Trinidad, Pen Medina, Vic Diaz, Junix Inocian, Mona Lisa and Odette Khan. (They played various EDSA characters so watch out for them.) And yes, characters in the EDSA story not to miss are there such as Butz Aquino (played by Freddie Santos), Kris Aquino (played by Lea Cabusi), Fabian Ver (Mervyn Samson), the then American Ambassador Stephen Bosworth (Michael Pate), and General Artemio Tadiar (Felindo Obach).
In case you did not know Gary Busey, ask your uncle or father who watched the original Mel Gibson-Danny Glover starrer Lethal Weapon. Gary portrayed the character who served as nemesis for Mel Gibson's character.
In 1988, A Dangerous Life then broke all TV viewership records in the Philippines, getting unprecendented ratings for the broadcast! I was then 4 years old. Now 22 years later, as a yuppie, I and even you will get this rare chance to relive recent Philippine history at its most dramatic--this Easter Triduum and still at ABS-CBN, the network that broadcast it originally.
Perhaps ABS-CBN sees the broadcast of such a historic show fitting at this time when our country again is at the crossroads, with another election in place this May. The destiny of our country, the tomorrow is now on our hands. If you're not convinced all of us are part of the story of our country, as chronicled on TV Patrol, you need the show A Dangerous Life.
A Dangerous Life will be back on ABS-CBN at 9 in the evening for 3 straight days (not 6 straight hours) this Moundy Thursday, Good Friday and Black Saturday (April 1-April 3). Don't miss it for our dear country!
With A Dangerous Life on board this Easter Triduum, it's a Deal! Better Easter Triduum sked, a Deal!

Hit and Miss in Harapan
I have been hearing some negative feedback from the series of the Harapan debates on ABS-CBN. I must admit, I was somehow drawn to the party Ang Kapatiran, since 2007. That's why I understand why they have complained much to ABS-CBN about why they were not included in the line-up of veeps-to-be. I even understand...For me, I am seeing a disconnect between the organizers of the debate and the veeps-to-be and their organizations of origin! Better if the people behind Harapan who missed out veeps-to-be Mr. Chipeco and Mr. Sonza apologize to them! I am a bit peeved with what had happened, but I am still waiting for ABS-CBN to air their side. Those people behind Harapan shall include as much as possible all future veeps and prezes in the next debates, and not just those key candidates/those leading in the surveys to avoid some sort of displeasure!
Anyway, here are the links on the recent Harapan fiasco, and a reply of ABS-CBN on one Harapan issue.

For me, as long as ABS-CBN does not explain as to why there are candidates excluded in the debates, I am going rated No Deal.
To tell the truth, I must say Harapan was a great show, with the WARS and the word wars. The issue here I want to touch is the exclusion of candidates. The issues I want the candidates to tackle most of the time is their platforms and agendas. So must we the audience must tackle on these issues! No to personality questions! And I mean no to personality questions (re: personal performance questions)! I prefer track record questions more than personality questions.
Anyway, here are the links on the recent Harapan fiasco, and a reply of ABS-CBN on one Harapan issue.

A Fast Trip on Memory Lane with ABS-CBN News
Almost forgot about what's so significant about the year 2010, especially this month, but better late than never.
64 years ago, on 13th of June 1946, a former American soldier named James Lindenberg opened Bolinao Electronics Corporation, a company specializing in radio electronics equipment for communication. (Bolinao is named as such from the hometown of James' wife, a town in Pangasinan later to be a tourist spot.) The Bolinao of 1946 is the ABS-CBN we know of today, still specializing in communications through TV, radio and a lot of media.
62 years ago, on June 1948, James got the license to operate a radio station of his own, a radio station that will be patronized soon by many of our countrymen in Manila and beyond. It was then he set up Bolinao Broadcasting Corporation, the ancestor of ABS-CBN.
61 years ago, on June 1949, Bolinao's first radio station, DZBC-AM Manila (BC for Bolinao Corporation) had its first broadcast. The antenna: a bunch of wires tied between 2 mango trees in San Juan City. The broadcast: a lot of programs that are broadcast in Filipino language, making it the first radio station to broadcast in Filipino! DZRH-AM Manila was only broadcasting then in English.
And ABS-CBN News began with James Lindenberg as DZBC's newscaster in 1949. Take note: an American able to speak Filipino, and a newscaster as well!
With Bolinao Broadcasting renamed Alto Broadcasting Systems (ABS in ABS-CBN) in 1953 and Alto opening the Philippines' first ever TV station, DZAQ-TV Channel 3 (AQ for new owner Antonio Quirino, now the Channel 2 we know), the story of ABS-CBN News continued, this time with Vero Perfecto acting as anchor-reporter on the streets of Metro Manila in 1953, and later Hal Bowie reading the news from various sources on TV in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
Faced with stiff competition from news programs of its competitor TV stations (with the competitors starting on TV by 1960), ABS-CBN then Chronicle Broadcasting (now having Alto as sister station) premiered a real newscast 48 years ago. On 21st of November 1962 in DZXL-TV Channel 9, it began the newscast The World Tonight (yes, the one over ANC, making it one of the longest-running English TV newscast in the country). The first anchor: Henry Halasan. From Channel 9 it moved to Channel 3 which became Channel 2 until Martial Law. When ABS-CBN returned in 1986, The World Tonight was relaunched, staying in Channel 2 until moving to ANC in 1999. Almost 5 decades after its first broadcast, anchoring the newscast is shared among Angelo Castro Jr. and Tina Monzon-Palma on weekdays and Ron Cruz, Lia Andanar-Yu and Bill Velasco on weekends.
23 years ago, on the 3rd of March 1987, ABS-CBN premiered the successor of Balita Ngayon. Balita Ngayon was ABS-CBN's Filipino language newscast in the late 1960's which stopped by Martial Law and resurrected in 1986 by the time ABS-CBN resumed broadcast. As per the book Kapitan-The Story of Geny Lopez narrates, the 1986 Balita Ngayon anchors, Robert Arevalo and Mel Tiangco, were there on the successor newscast, along with then newcomer Angelique Lazo and Noli de Castro, a veteran radio newscaster and host of ABS-CBN's morning TV show Magandang Umaga. The successor newscast's name: TV PATROL. Months later, Robert Arevalo changed places with Magandang Umaga newscaster Frank Evangelista, completing the quartet of Kabayan Noli, Tita Mel, Ka Kiko and Angelique that made TV PATROL must-see TV for the next 2 decades.
1 year ago, on the 9th of February 2009, a new regional version of TV Patrol premiered to audiences in and out of Batangas City and within and beyond CALABARZON and MIMARO, with the broadcast reaching as far as southern Metro Manila. The newscaster was veteran ABS-CBN Legazpi City correspondent Sarita Kare, backed by Batangueno reporters Tina Ganzon and Joan Panopio, later to be joined by Michael Cuyugan and then Edison Reyes and Ernie Manio. The newscast: TV PATROL BATANGAS, better known as TV PATROL SOUTHERN TAGALOG.
So, if we count the years, ABS-CBN News is exactly 61 years old! So congratulations to the former and current men and women of ABS-CBN News: An Ally of the Truth, and Ally of the Nation for 61 Years!
