Philippine Political News and Media Crisis
Manila, Philippines - Philippine journalist Maria Ressa resented the statement made by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on December 8 using his Twitter account denouncing Ressa on her unyielding effort to discredit the government and giving bad vibes to the country. Senator Gatchalian in response to the tweet posted by Media Risk addressing Ressa, have accused the cynic journalist of insinuating detractions by giving the country a bad publicity through sensationalism. " She's amazing! All she does is to give our country a bad reputation."
The Senator did not appreciate the comment posted by the Media Risk which addresses Ressa stating that the Philippines is like a " preti dish " for mass manipulation. The senator reprobated this statement that is likely malicious.
Ressa was quick to response. She mocked the senator by retweeting his statement with comment insulting the senator. " Dear Senator Gatchalian, what have you accomplished? Where have you shown your indipendence? After all, you work for the people right? What principles and values do you stand for? How far would you go to protect them?
This statement made by Ressa have caused chain reactions. The senator was derided with degrading remarks by those who stood by Ressa but there was no response from the senator. Apparently Ressa doesn't know anything about Senator Gatchalian. She is totally clueless about his accomplishments, how indipendent he has become, the principles and values he stand for and how he can go far for the people.
Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is a former mayor of the Valenzuela city for three consecutive terms since 2001 to 2016. He turned his home city from the most corrupt to the most improved. According to the 2015 census, Valenzuela city became as one of the 1st class highly urbanized city Metro Manila and it is all because of his effecient managerial skills and leadership. As a mayor he was able to accomplish the Seal of Good Housekeeping Bronze category ( 2012 ), Taking Look Award, Top 10 outstanding local governance program for 3S in public service program ( 2012 ), Most Business - Friendly Local Government Unit Award - highly urbanized city category by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industries ( 2012 ) and Number 1 in NCR National Achiement Test for elementary. As a senator, Gatchalian co-authored and co-sponsored the Free higher Education Act in early 2017 which was signed into law.
Gatchalian values his people and he have shown a genuine care for the people of Valenzuela during his terms as a Mayor so that why the prople of loved him. He ended up the corruption and transformed the city into one of the safest places in Metro Manila. He made access to different government services alot easier for the people. The crime rates dropped down even before President Duterte came into power. He wasn't just a Mayor of Valenzuela, but he was a father to it's people. Devoting and giving care to the people whom you are working for is the values and principles that he stand for.
