President Aquino expresses feelings, bashes Noli De Castro at anniversary of “TV Patrol”

The Philippine president was frank enough to say his true feelings in a speech he delivered during the silver (25th) anniversary celebration of ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol.

President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III didn’t let the opportunity pass to express his dislike to a commentary made by Noli De Castro during one of TV Patrol’s broadcast.

Aquino recalled how one anchor bashed NAIA Terminal 1 after a field correspondent reported a good news about Terminal 3.

"Noong Oktubre ng nakaraang taon, may isang reporter kayo ang nagbabalita sa NAIA 3. Ang sabi niya, sa puntong iyon, tumaas ng dalawampung porsiyento ang passenger arrivals sa paliparan. Magandang balita, at higit sa lahat, fact po iyan. Sa kabila nito, nakuha pa pong humirit ng isang anchor n’yo at ang sabi po niya, and I quote, 'Nasa NAIA 3 ka kasi; kung nasa NAIA 1 ka, doon malala.' Sa loob-loob ko po, anong kinalaman ng ibinabalita sa NAIA 3 sa NAIA 1? May nagsabi po bang ayos na ayos na ang NAIA 1? Kung mayroon man ho, hindi kami. Nakaligtaan niya atang mahigit 30 anyos na ang istrukturang ito," Aquino said.

Although the president didn’t drop the name of De Castro, he made it clear that people would get it right by giving hints that pointed directly to the veteran news anchor. Aquino also said that the said anchor also had a chance to serve in the country but didn’t do anything about NAIA 1 during his term.

"Napapaisip nga po ako: 'yung nagkomento nito, hindi ba't anim na taon ding tumangan sa renda ng gobyerno? Sabihin na po nating minana lang din nila ang problema; 'di hamak mas luma naman ang ipinamana nilang problema sa amin. Anim na taon ang ipinagkaloob sa kanya para tumulong sa pagsasaayos ng mismong inirereklamo niya. Pero ngayon, tayo na nga ang may bitbit na problema, tayo na nga ang tutugon dito, pero, masakit nga ho, may gana pa tayong hiritan ng nagpamana?"

Towards the end of his speech, however, the president explained his frankness.

"Muli, at ako po'y pagpasensyahan ninyo kung masyadong prangka nagsalita ngayong gabi. Maganda na ho siguro 'yung totoo ang sabihin para magkaunawan tayo nang maliwanang. Muli po, binabati ko ang TV Patrol sa inyong ika-25 kaarawan," the president said as he ended his speech.

But really, was the news program’s 25th anniversary celebration the right place and time to bash the newsman?
