My sweetness Caffeine Sparks,
Blog all you want under the pretext of free speech, sama-sama kumbaya tayo, together forever, one another, ever ever. And sweetheart, I’ll be with you all the way. Pramis, as far as free speech is concerned, we’d be very close. One karatula. One nation.
For me Sparks, if you want to gain respect, credibility and authority on topics of interest here at FV, you must have the necessary credentials, education and (impressive) experience. That’s what separates “men” from “boys”. That’s what separates writers under “free speech” na bala bala lang versus quality writers who makes sense. This is not to say that only people with credentials make sense, but given the experience and education, they become far more likely to be trusted by readers and opinions respected. Now, those are the ones who are more than likely to be effective lecturers. Sure, people with no credentials could still make sense. There are good writers after all. Agree?
So eto Sparks. Your take on the issue of what I’ve raised was misunderstood and your response was misaligned. You failed to neither understand my point nor even digest what we were talking about.
This is about some wannabes at mga feeling intellectual political bloggers of Filipino Voices vis-a-vis what I wrote in the last two paragraphs in this article: Feeling intellectual political bloggers
This is about fake credentials, embellished education and zero experience of some of Filipino Voice writers – Caffeine Sparks included. Some of your co-bloggers are feeling intellectuals who’ve got embellished education and zero experience to show, at least up until I raised the question. If you guys have it, I’m sure ya’all have already slapped it in ma face.
This is also very much about Nick, the editor not the chief. Nick who stood up against one OFW trampling woman. Nick who I joined in castigating that woman to be out of that magazine because not only she trampled OFWs but also she has got no proper qualifications or relevant credentials as a writer and is therefore a wrong model. Excuse my dimwitness, .but haven’t we just learned “irony” from the recent Chip Tsao drama? Lost principle!?
I am turning the tables back to you guys, the proud intellectual wannabe writers of Filipino Voices. Where are your credentials? What’s your education? What’s your experience? Why is everybody afraid to show it? I’m sure if you have it, you’ll flaunt it. You can’t hide those credentials under the cover of free speech. Ain’t gonna work.

Isang sagot kay Reyna Elena.
By: Caffeine Sparks
Ang blogging ay ‘di iba sa pagtitipon-tipon ng mga mamayan sa mga kapulungan noong mga panahong wala pang mass media at lalo na ang internet. Sa aking wari, isa itong paraan upang maipahayag ng kahit sino’ng kabilang ng isang komunidad ang kaniyang saloobin ukol sa pamamamaraan ng pamamalakad ng kaniyang pamahalaan.
‘Di dapat gawing sukatan ang antas ng edukasyon o karanasan sa ‘pulitika’ ang karapatang mag-blog ukol sa pulitika. Kung lahat tayo’y nagbabayad ng buwis, mula sa mga CEO ng mga kumpanya hanggang sa mga nagtitinda na taho sa kalye (na nagbabayad din ng VAT), lahat ay dapat bigyan daan upang mag-hayag ng hinaing o pagsang-ayon sa ating buhay pulitikal. Ang kayod nating lahat ay sinsamsam ng estado, sa gusto man natin o hindi. Lahat tayo ay napapailalim sa mga batas na nililikha ng estado, sa gusto man natin o hindi.
Isang mahalagang elemento ng demokrasiya na pakinggan ang mga haka-haka at kuro-kuro ng lahat. Kakabit nito ang pagtanggap na lahat ay may kakayanang mag-isip para sa kaniyang sarili patungkol sa mga nilalaman ng balita halimbawa o sa mga desisyong ipinatutupad ng Malacañang. Dahil ang Pilipinas ay isang mahirap na bansa, at karamihan sa mga mamayan nito ay salat sa pormal na edukasyon, ang ibig ba’ng sabihin nito ay dapat na isawalang-bahala ang boses ng nakararami? Para ano pa kung gano’n ang eleksyon? Para ano pa kung sa gano’n ang pagbibigay ng mga baseng karapatan sa bawat Pilipino, lalo na ang karapatan ng malalayang pamamahayag o free speech?
Sa pamamahayag ng ating iba’t-iba at madalas ay nagbabanggaang opinyon, nalalaman ng madla ang mga sala-salawing panig. Sa gayon ang madla ay maaaring makapagpasya kung anumang panig ang kanilang kikilingan o hindi.
Ang pagiging ‘intelketwal’ ay isang pang-uring ‘di saklaw ng kung ilan lamang. Lahat tayo ay nag-iisip. Maaaring iba’t-iba ang ating pagtingin ukol sa pulitika, at sa gayon ay iba’t-iba rin ang ating mga hinahangad ukol sa pagpapatakbo ng mga bagay-bagay at kung sa’ang direksyon patutunguhin ang bayan. Ang mga hinaing at kuro-kuro halimbawa ng isang accountant sa Makati ay iba sa mga hinaing at kuro-kuro ng nagtitinda ng samalamig. Hindi dapat na bigyang higit na timbang ang isa sa isa dahil tayong lahat ay nabibilang sa isang pampulitikong komunidad.
Ang kredibilidad sa pamamahayag sa media ay inaani mula sa iba, hindi ibinibigay sa sarili. Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon – lahat ng mga mamayang Pilipino na may kakayanang magsulat at mag-access ng internet ay maaaring mag-blog at maghayag ng kanilang saloobin ukol sa Pilipinas, sa gobiyerno, sa kapwa Pilipino. Sa kauna-unahang panahon, maaari tayong gumawa ng diskurso at pakikipagtalastasan bilang mga mamayan sa labas ng saklaw ng organisadong mass media at ng kung anumang opisyal na pagtingin ng mga makapangyarihan.
Ang mahalaga siguro ay ang makinig sa isa’t-isa, kumalap ng makabuluhang impormasyon at magpasiya sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Ang impormayson ay maaaring manggaling sa napakaraming panig. Mas mabuti na sigurong mas maraming panig kaysa sa nag-iisang panig. Ang pagtiyak kung ano ang malaman o hindi, ang may bias o hindi, ang kapaki-pakinabang o hindi, ay nakasalalay sa ating sariling kunsensya at pag-iisip.

maaring tama ito sa ibang blog pero kung ito ay para sa isang blog na ang titulo ay Filipino Voices at ang mga ipinagmamalaking manunulat ay sinasabing siyang tinig ng bayan, hindi kaya nararapat na kilatisin ng mga magbabasa kung sino ang mga taong ito?
At kung ang mga taong ito na tumatawag sa mga nagbabasa at nagkukumento stupido, hindi kaya dapat malaman kung sino sila at bakit may karapatan silang mang-insulto ng kapwa nila?

Madali lang naman yang sagutin. kung magsusulat ka tungkol sa batas kagaya ng kaso ni nicole smith hindi kaya dapat ay mayroon kang alam talaga sa batas at hindi lang nanggaling sa mga kinopyang opinion ng ibang writers. Some of these writers have no original ideas that their opinions can not be considered a voice worth to be heard but just plain echoes of other experts.
they even intentionally skip the attribution to the original source to impress that the opinion is theirs. When they are challenged to expand some more about the topics, they resort to namecalling even to the extent of threatening of inflciting harm and death.

Good point!
at kung siguro magsusulat ka tungkol sa education system, dapat at least alam mo ang function ng Department of education, ng CHED at ng TESDA.
I think the quality of the article matters especially if the blog such s Filipino Voices claims that it is the Voice of the People.
Us, bloggers are responsible to to give factual information if we want to impress credibility in writing.
like this article of sparks where she opined that majority of the Filipino people have no formal education. This runs in conflict with the statistics provided by both international and local agencies where Filipinos have one of the highest literacy rates.
karamihan means majority or 50 percent plus one. the literacy of the Filipino people is more than 90 per cent or even if I take her statistics which she gave after I question her blanket statement, the 16 per cent illiterate population does not constitute majority.
It is this kind of article which i am afraid can be picked up by some people looking for facts and what they get are mere “opinions” of a writer who is prone to making conclusion out of a few numbers.

Ms. Cat,
Ayaw kong maniwala na salat sa pormal na edukasyon ang mga Pilipino. There are different ways ngayon to get formal education like private sponsorhips, scholarships etc.
Maraming paraan upang makakuha ng pormal na edukasyon. Kaya nga yung sinasabi ng ilan na di daw sila makapag-aral dahil wala daw pera pangtustos ng aral – hindi ko pinapaniwalaan yun.
Baket?
Ako din e produkto ng kahirapan pero nagsumikap para makapagtapos. Ayaw kong patali ang aking sarili sa kakaisip na ako’y dukha lamang at walang pampaaral. Ayaw ko na hanggang ganun na lang ang buhay ko kaya nagsumikap ako.
Ang ilan e masyadong iniisip ang kahirapan kaya nanghihina ang loob sa hamon ng buhay, ang iba naman, mali ang priorities nila – imbes na magimpok ng pera para may pampaa-aral e sinusugal, pinangbibili ng alak at kung ano-ano pa. Andyan ang mga programa, kelangan lang diskartehan ng konti.

Nakita mo sinagot niya ang aking comment sa pamamagitan ng pagbigay ng statistics na nagpapatunay na mali ang sinabi niya.
ito rin ang blogger na nagsulat ng may konklusyon tungkol sa Pilipinas dahil may nakausap lang siyang isa o dalawang tao.

Hi Sparks,
I briefly skimmed through your posting. Because the beginning entry alone tells me that I don’t have to keep reminding you that you need to read the entirety of the first entry. You said:
Knee jerk reaction ba? At least si Gloria Arroyo has her credentials out in the public. As to whether or not you believe it, at least you are given the choice TO BELIEVE or NOT TO BELIEVE.
Let me throw the question to you Sparks. What are your credentials? What is your educational background? What is your experience?
If you show it to us, then we will be able to decide better to accord you respect and possibly put you on the column as one of FV’s credible writers. But right now since since you are still one anonymous wannabe intellectual Filipino Voice blogger who’s afraid to show what you got because you have not paid your dues, you’re not. You don’t have any credibility. Look, you don’t even know how to read and understand my very lowly entries.
Show us your credentials. What you got?

Hi sparks,
Would it be at least smart for you to put links to some of the words you wrote???
Like “pormal na edukasyon” at least attach an article to your statement. That would make you a bit convincing.
I feel bitter telling this but your Filipino article took me up to the stars and descending back just to pick few pieces of messages. I’m sure there are some people who could write a finer Filipino piece. It’s not as intelligible as I expect — I might be a dimwit in this case.
What I only picked was:
* Blogging is a democracy. Each component has its voice to be considered.
* Let’s listen to each other (…sa isip, sa salita at sagawa)
* It’s piece made by an apathetic middle-grounder (a.k.a. politically correct na walang dating)
* This article is a HIGHLY-UNINTELLIGIBLE CRYPTIC PIECE. (ikaw lang ang may alam, iyo na!)
I am really trying hard to make sense with this piece of yours, it has alienated me. I have failed to get the very essence. Well, I guess it all goes back to credibility.
I’m sure some of us here could write a finer Filipino piece. If you’re begging an audience, it’s a fair play to get mixed reactions. Be smart, be credible. Cover your ass!
(TO OTHERS: Please ensure that I get positive ratings for social climbing, hehehe!)

kung ganon pala eh, lahat ng sambayanang Filipino ay pwedeng maging writers ng Filipino Voices?
Let’s compare FV from Huff although there’s no comparison really.. I-kompara nalng natin kasi naman parehas sila ng layout ng site nila… (:D) Lahat ng writers ng huffington my bio – as in open sa buong madla ang credentials and experiences nila. At kung mapapansin nyo, they write based on their education, expertise and experience. Bakit? Alangan naman magsusulat ang isang fashion writer tungkol sa politics, d ba? Kahit may sariling opinion ang fashion writer na ito patungkol sa politics, eh hindi sya magsusulat kasi naman wala syang credibilidad on the topic.
Hindi keysho magaling ka magsulat eh pwedo ka na magsulat kahit ano. It should be based on your expertise – experience and education that is – especially if you call yourselves Filipino Voices.
As a writer, credibility is tantamount to ensuring that your readers are well informed as to the facts of the subject matter you are writing about.
That’s all! Bow!

i wrote a comment in FV, which i’ll copy it here to. a reply to your comment to me in your earlier post:
[sorry for the third person! by he i mean, you...]
he reiterates his point:
its not about free expression. its about :”fake credentials, embellished education and zero experience of some of Filipino Voice writers – Caffeine Sparks included. Some of your co-bloggers are feeling intellectuals who’ve got embellished education and zero experience to show, at least up until I raised the question. If you guys have it, I’m sure ya’all have already slapped it in ma face.”
he concludes:
“This is also very much about Nick… Nick who I joined in castigating that woman to be out of that magazine because not only she trampled OFWs but also she has got no proper qualifications or relevant credentials as a writer and is therefore a wrong model. Excuse my dimwitness, .but haven’t we just learned “irony” from the recent Chip Tsao drama? Lost principle!?”
several interesting things are happening here…
1) Reyna uses the same standards for MSM and for bloggers. like i said, i’m not sure that you should do that. but there is an argument…
there is a difference between those who declare themselves (the men) and those that dont(the boys). if you want to criticize people directly, you must “man up” and declare who u are.
i tend to agree. but then again, i’m confused. if these anonymous/fake people criticize you, then they don’t have credibility. if they don’t have credibility, then their criticism doesn’t MATTER. … which leads me to reyna’s second idea:
2)Re: Nick and the filipino columnist who made fun of ofws…
i don’t remember the filipino columnist too clearly. i do remember she was ultimately fired. but his logic says that we must fight against her coz she has no credentials.
i think this is coz she was part of the MSM. presumably, the columnists should have credentials/experience. but given the fact that she has none, then that formed the basis of the critique.
3) My conclusions/confusions:
a. the debate ought to be, should the same credibility standard be used for bloggers, as the MSM, DESPITE THE FACT that blogging was designed for short, quick thoughts for anonymous and non-anonymous people alike. i’m not sure applying the same standard is a good idea (not yet)…
b. if a blogger has no credibilty/anonymous, why should we care what that person says? why force them to “man up”, when they aren’t prepared to do so? just don’t read/listen to them, or take them seriously…
c. logical conundrum about critizing OFWs… my question to Reyna, what kind of credentials and experience would make it OK to mock OR criticize OFWs? is it even possible to do so?
are ofw’s a sacred cow for satirists? my own take is that there is no way for anybody (credentialed or not) to mock OFWs in a satirical way. IT IS possible to criticize, but not mock them…

book report indeed! yeah, i need to be as structured as possible, or else i will get confused.
yeah, so you ask what is their credentials, et al?
my answer can be summarized by:
1) who cares? if you are reading a blog post, its easy enough to determine whether it makes sense or not.
2) why care? if they dont want to share, eh di hwag. if they don’t have the balls then you are right — their opinions don’t matter. so we shouldnt care.
if they don’t want to share their identitites then they don’t want to be real opinion makers who have the courage to tell people who they really are.
lastly, (and quite nerdy) it think its interesting to think about what u are saying (correct me if i am accurate), the big picture:
“should the same credibility standard be used for bloggers, as the MSM, DESPITE THE FACT that blogging was designed for short, quick thoughts for anonymous and non-anonymous people alike. “

so it is your understanding that people who read stuff on the web and accept whats given to them, and cannot determine whats plausible from whats not.
i can respect that.
but i have to tell you that there is an implicit assumption: these gullible(?) people would choose to believe the credentialed people, but not gullible enough to believe the non-credentialed writers NO MATTER the content.
i suppose people like this exist. but t doubt it.
Example:
lets say i write: i am a psychologist (with lengthy experience and credentials). i read ur blog and in my professional opinion, u are full of sh__t.
will someone believe that vs…
i am a blogger. i read ur blog and i have a problem with X,Y and Z stuff you wrote, here’s why…[insert explanation here]…

that’s not my understanding GabbyD, napakasimple lang nang aking understanding. eto:
my understanding is that, some bloggers and writers at Filipino Voices are not direct with their credentials. as i have said, they are fake, embellished and missing. then they write at Filipino Voices pretending to be some sort of authority. as such, it is imperative upon you to show your readers your credentials for a better understanding as to where you are coming from. so, anong credibility nang mga to??? and why would they not put those credentials? (saka na ako mag-ge-guess)
that’s my understanding. that’s why their credentials should be pasted on the ABOUT US page of FV. ganun lang kasimple.

i think i now understand. i was only spelling out the hidden assumption in your argument. sabi mo:
“…Filipino Voices pretending to be some sort of authority. as such, it is imperative upon you to show your readers your credentials”
why imperative? …”because you don’t know what kind of influence those opinions bring”
so i said the implicit assumption is that “people who read stuff on the web and accept whats given to them, and cannot determine whats plausible from whats not.” because the stuff that is given to them is presented by someone who (falsely) claims to be an authority…
i.e. content of the argument doesn’t matter. claiming you are an expert matters. thats why we should make sure this claim has real basis.
i think this cogently summarizes your position. if so, i can respect it. i don’t think i agree entirely. i think that writers can share or not share their credentials. their arguments and evidence stand on their own.
anywayz, salamat sa panahon. its been enlightening.
furthermore, it really puts to fore the role of credentials/expertise. i think sa Mainstream media, credentials are VERY important. you need to know the background of people
ie. Paul Krugman is an economist, that sometimes writes about political issues in NYTimes. thats important background to know.
the MSM is there to vet these experts for you, so that when u read them on the times, they have credibility. the difference is because of the nature of the MSM and blogs. (ie MSM is about elite opinion, while blogs are democratized opinion).
thanks!
I read this on FV:

isa pa yang Jester hahaha anong credentials ni Jester? nanalo nang PBA Awards which is another awarding body na me problema din about giving awards to volunteers?
so ano to? mafia? sila sila kiskisan nang mga panga? hahaha i guess that’s how you win credibility.
i’m sure kung me credentials ang jester, dapat nakabalandra din sa FV. where is it? di ko makita? masama bang malaman kung ano ang mga educational attainments, qualifications, experience at kung ano mang accomplishments nang mga writers nang Filipino Voices???

Freedom of speech means every one can dare to speak up, but claiming
you are an authority and write in your posts with such authoritative
tone but alas, no solid credibility to back it up – that’s a different
topic. Its an entirely different thing.
I also read this from a certain Renato Pacifico, a commentator from FV
and his reaction to Caffeine Sparks’ post:
“If people get swayed by FAKE blogs, therefore, people who read it are
not logical.
Since, they are not logical, it’s fitting that they get swindled, right?
So they deserve it, right?
ONLY THE DISCERNING CAN SPOT A FAKE POST, FAKE BLOGS AND FAKE NEWS REPORT.”
And another one from Bert (again):
“BURAOT,
Kaya ka nagugulumihan, eh, nasanay ka doon sa mga usapang walang
kawawaan. napunta ka sa FV, ngayon ok ka na…logical, ‘ika nga ni
Renato, reasonable, at lumitaw ang iyong talino, heheh. ok ka pala,
pare.”
For these guys, I dont think reading Reyna Elena makes us (readers) to
become dumb and illogical while reading FV can make you smart, logical
and even discerning who are the fake bloggers or not. That is utterly
BULLSHIT.
Reyna Elena is different from FV – as far as Reyna Elena is concerned
(as seen on the disclosure page): “This blog is a humor and a personal
blog”
Hindi sukatan ng IQ, rationality or pagiging logical ng isang tao kung
siya man e nagbabasa man o hindi ng Reyna Elena at FV. So dont dare
to insult the intelligence or the logic of the other guys on the
Internet.

@ Sparks-
Sa aking doktoreyt honoris causa na opinion, walang problema kung maga blag ka Day tungkol sa imong sarili or maskin ano man paksa dito sa mundo isama mo pa ang buong kalawakan. If you own the blog, you have a control, pretty much, of what you want to write and how you want to write your thing. Maga write ako tungkol sa karanasan ko sa bayan ko sa Kutang Bato, care nyo, davah? Sa ganang akin, magsusulat ako kung anong feel kong isulat, and whoever complains can kiss my honoris causated ass *mwahhh!*
Pero hinde man yan ang isyu, Day. Mayrun lang man gud FV blogger who told Reynz to stay out of political blogging (his supposed turf?) and stay in her own home turf which he refers to as “trash talking”. That was an invite for us to see his credentials on how credible his behind really is when it comes to politics. Eh problema nung na scrutinize, nabuksan ang Pandora’s box nya, hehehehe, lumabas ang mga bukog gikan sa iyang baul (bisaya yan, in English, skeletons inside his closet, hahahah!). Ngayon ikaw maga defend ka sa FV nga wala kang armas, Daayyyyy, WRONG MOVE!

Your point being?
Dahil Tagalog ang usapan dito? Dahil ang approach ni reyna ay hindi intelektuwal?
O di va yan nga ang puno;t dulo ng blog na ito na dahil sa ang approach ni reyna ay hindi kagaya ng mga nasa FV, minsang umatake siya kay mlq3 inimbestigahan din ang kanyang credentials.
Are you reading the reyna’s blog in its entirety or you are just skimming o malabo lang ang iyong utak eheste mata?
kung iyong hinahangahan ang mga kumentaryo na tumatawag sa mga bloggers na istupido, dimwit at hindi nakakaintinindi kung ano ang satire, ibig bangsabihin

Silver´s last blog post..The Credit Card Culture
Sa akin simple lang…
If you’re competent, you gain experience.
If you’re experienced, you’ll get credits.
If you’re credible, you earn trust.
trust added with resilience means respect…
But being embellished with a Phd’s does not necessary say that one is competent.
If you’re competitive, you know your game plans. You’re ready to be in the best position in any challenges. You know how to deliver excellently and you know how to cover your ass…
In FV’s case, it’s a concoction of incompetent cannibalizing characters…
If I were to think for them, I’ll surely find ways to make amends with anyone who express differences. After all, they want to represent a bigger cause.
Otherwise, rename to Ugly Filipino Voices… since talangkang anarchist sila eh…

It’s actually Filipino Voices vs. Filipino Voices. They probably won’t admit it, pero kahit sila labo-labo ever sa FV. Sila-sila, nagsisiraan at nagbabatuhan. I guess, mahirap talaga magsabi nang “’Pre, pa-kiss nga!” hahahaha!
What they are is just tambayan by a bunch of quack doctors. And it must be painful to some of them who are true to their form. I’m curious bakit natatanggap nang mga matinong bloggers sa FV to be in the company of rotten tomatoes. Are they being controlled by these rotten tomatoes? Possible di ba?

eto lang naman kasi ang punto dito na mukhang di nakukuha ng iba:
There is nothing wrong about writing politics or any subject you deem you are an expert.
what’s wrong is when you write with expertise, embellish your credentials then flaunt it, worse in a blog that is expected to house experts on a particular subject matter.
pero if you just blog on your own blog, thats not a big deal.
that is why Reyna Elena keep saying that Credentials is both important and unimportant in two very different CONTEXTS
Important in the context that one should have credentials if they will blog and represent themselves in a venue of experts
unimportant in the context that one should not give a shit about his credentials when he is blogging on a personal level and on a venue that is totally subjective and personal in lieu of freedom of speech.
Thats why if you will analyze Reyna’s point its implicitly paradoxical. This is actually hoe intelligent people thinsk. The thought process is not confined to a single pole, but to multiple poles, which sometimes come as opposing yet unifying in the final analysis. its very tricky. One may think that Reyna’s thoughts are contradictory wherefor, in essence, and in context its not.
In the seminary, this is what we call, the reflection of a walking contradiction. two seemingly opposing ideas but actually they work as one.
thats why people tends to be confused because of lack of ability to contextual;ize what they read. Contextualization is not a gift, its a skill that needs to be practiced. Its a mental exercise that demands reflection, empathy and putting self on the author’s shoes.
I always reiterate the word “context” on my readers because I always believe that in reading blogs and literatures, one must always deduce it to proper context. What you think is right is probably not the context of what the author originally tries to convey. Sa tagalog “BAKA HINDI YAN ANG IPINAHIHIWATIG NG MAY AKDA”
Its like the bible. You dont wake up one morning, have a realization that you need to read the scriptures, then decide you want to be a pastor and proclaim the word of God by creating a congregation. That is why it takes ten years or so to become a priest because they are required to study the scriptures extensively. They must have full knowledge of what the author of the gospels is really trying to convey rather than interpreting its contents according to our understanding. Kaya tingna mo resulta, ang dami sekta sa christianismo, kasi they always interpret the bible according to their own knowledge and not on the basis of objective exegesis. That is the simplest example of context.
You can never expect a boxed or academically intelligent person (meaning yung mga tao na ang talino ay acquired and enhanced by books at hindi instinctual, natuaral and spontaneous) to understand complex ideas or argumentation like this simply because of lack of context. Tagalugin ko uli: Makitid ang utak!
I dont want to sound demeaning or snob or anything, I just want to say the truth by saying…
This is actually the article which you can separate the chaffe from the wheat, the bright from the dimwitted, and the brilliant from the pseudo intellectuals. Because conetext is everything… sometimes its called IQ.. most offten coined as common sense.
If people doesnt get Reyna’s point, its because you are not digging deeper.
Like what I always tell my detractors on my blog,
ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU ARE SO STUPID TO ACTUALLY MISS THE CONTEXT OF THE WHOLE POST!!!

Sa akin lang naman, Reynz, maaring meron o maari ring walang kinalaman ang “scholarly titles” sa pagiging kapanipaniwala ng isang manunulat o ng isang lider ng bayan. Sa panahon nating ito, mahirap yatang manungkulan bilang presidente ng bansa, halimbawa na lang, kung hirap kang sumakay sa mga komplikadong paksa tulad ng ekonomya, “foreign affairs,” etc. Pwede kang maluklok na konsehal o mayor, bakit hindi, paramihan lang naman ng boto ang pinaguusapan dyan. Ang Pilipinas, maraming karanasan dyan. Tungkol naman sa pamamahayag, hindi naman lahat nyan, “entertainment” o “political commentary.” Sa “areas” na yan, mas mahalaga yata ang bigat ng dating, lakas ng “personality,” at nakadagdag sa dating mo kung ikaw ay laking-yaman ba o hindi, nakatapos ba ng pagaaral o hindi, mayaman ba o hindi, magaling bang mag inglis o hindi, etc., etc., mga bagay na walang kinalaman sa “totoo ba yon?” Kasi, ang pinaguusapan natin, nakakalibang ba? Meron bang sinasabi (social o economic status) ang taong to?
Ngayon, labas sa “entertainment value” ng pamamahayag, iba ang pamantayan ko. Dahil itinuturing kong mamamahayag si Jesus, o si Buddha. Si Buddha, lumaking prinsipe sa palasyo, kaya nakapagaral siya. Si Jesus, panday lamang, karpintero. Pero ang mga binigkas niya, galing sa isang malinis at hindi mapaglinlang na puso, at galing sa isang malinaw at malawak na pagiisip. Sa aking pananaw, kapag ako’y nagbabasa, nakikinig, o nanunuod ng kahit sinong manunulat, mamamahayag, politiko, ano pa man, at iba pa, itong mga katangiang ito ang hinahanap ko: puso, talino, pananaw, hindi lang “entertainment value.”
Hindi ko minamaliit ang “entertainment value” dahil lahat tayo naghahanap ng libangan (saka kumita ako dyan nung ako’y bata pa). Pero pag nagbabasa ako ng “opinion piece,” hindi ko talaga muna hinahanapan ng PhD bago ako magbasa, dahil pwede naman yata akong matuto, maaliw, malinawagan dahil maganda ang pagkakasulat at pagkakalarawan nung binasa ko.
Ngayon, ibang bagay din yun yabang. Dahil maraming manunulat, lalo na ng “glossy magazines” (kahit internet may “glossies”) na sa simula pa lang, ipinangangalandakan na nila ang kanilang “breeding,” “stature,” “education,” “foreign travel,” etc., dahil gusto nilang malaman mo agad na mas higit ang antas nila sa buhay, kaya sila ang dapat pakinggan, hindi ikaw. Ibang paksa naman yan. Yan naman, ang bansag ko, “superiority complex.” Dyan ako agree sa yo, Reynz, dahil kung sa feeling ni moking, superior sya, e di patunayan nya! Sabi nga ng piskal, nahan ang katibayan, nahan ang papeles?
