Talk:Erwin Tulfo Joins PTV 4 Full-Time; Named New Anchor of 'Ulat Bayan'/@comment-112.198.118.54-20171229234623

You just lost yourself a viewer of your 6:30pm news, PTV.

Whenever I am sick and tired of the tabloid news the mainstream primetime newscasts offer - blood, guts, and all other stuff - sa inyo ako nanonood. Many may disagree with me because of your tendency to become Propaganda Television, but your network's primetime news (News @ 6 (6pm), PTV News (6pm before moving to 6:30pm since 2017), and now, Ulat Bayan) provides a different look at the day's events. It provides airtime for stories that the mainstream may not be covering sufficiently.

It's hard to trust this guy anymore, especially with his riff against Ed Lingao when Tulfo was still with News5. Sa mga kapwa ka-DDS na lang siya may kredibilidad, mostly because his shows serve as an echo chamber for them.

As a frequent viewer of the network, I have always considered Kathy San Gabriel and Aljo Bendijo as the main voices of PTV, bilang sila lagi ang nasa live coverage, at bilang sila nga ang anchors ng flagship newscast ng 4. Catherine Vital is a good choice for a new 6:30pm anchor, following San Gabriel's termination, and the Aljo-Catherine tandem is actually a good, credible pair on television. I guess hintayin ko na lang kung anong oras magbabalita sina Aljo at Catherine, at yun na lang ang papanoorin ko.

PTV should not be an echo chamber for the ka-DDS sector of the society. Remember, it's PEOPLE'S Television. This move to put for the network's flagship newscast an openly biased, pro-President anchor who propagates divisiveness via the state's airwaves further propagates the notion that the People's Television is indeed the President's/Propaganda Television, which would alienate viewers who, while not necessarily a supporter of the sitting President, believe in the purpose of the state media to connect the government to the people, to disseminate important information that will help Filipinos in their everyday lives, information that will empower people.
