When I entered college, I looked at the world through black and white. My alma mater, the University of the Philippines dragged me to reality. It exposed me to the rotten system this country has from sporadic corruption in the government, to too much manifestation of personalistic interests of the politicians, to a never-ending imperialism, and to the disgusting unethical practices of some media practitioners whom the people only trust regarding news and information.

Back in high school, I looked up at some journalists whom I thought deserve my utmost respect but it only turned out into a nightmare when I discovered their real color through some reliable news and fast diffusion of information. I am always in despair watching my fellow Filipinos on television relying too much on these people by looking at them as their savior as if these people were dedicated in helping them by voicing out their sufferings to the government. However, I am optimistic that there are only a few of these media practitioners in the industry.
