In another explosive article published by former
Ambassador Rigoberto Tiglao in the ‘The Manila Times” last June 11, 2021
exposes the fact that up until today media is infiltrated and still imbued with
a communist teachings.
In the recent controversy which involves the New
People’s Army’s anti-personnel landmine (NPA)which brought about the death of Keith
Absalon together with his cousin, the Lopez-owned choose to water-down the seriousness
of the matter.
Tiglao said “On June 6, the Philippine
National Police issued a press statement that the rising football star Kieth
Absalon was killed, together with his cousin, by an NPA anti-personnel land
mine in Masbate as they were riding on their bicycles. Most newspapers and the
state-run Philippine News Agency ran news stories with roughly the same
headline: “FEU booter, cousin killed in NPA mine blast.”
But not the abs-cbn.com. Its headline, based on the
same PNP press statement was: “Up-and-coming footballer Kieth Absalon passes
away at 21.” It definitely wasn’t merely a case of a writer misusing a term
“pass away,” which is mostly used for deaths due to natural causes.”
For purposes of public
transparency and public knowledge we are quoting in full Ambassador Tagle’s
article titled “Communists’ continuing infiltration of media a reality”
ONCE in a while, truth is suddenly revealed much
like a bolt of lightning in an instant reveals a landscape in a dark night.
This is exactly what happened recently when a
report in the internet version of the once-oligarch, Lopez-owned ABS-CBN media
outfit showed to a sickening extent its reporters’ coddling of the communist
New People’s Army (NPA).
On June 6, the Philippine National Police issued a
press statement that the rising football star Kieth Absalon was killed,
together with his cousin, by an NPA anti-personnel land mine in Masbate as they
were riding on their bicycles. Most newspapers and the state-run Philippine
News Agency ran news stories with roughly the same headline: “FEU booter,
cousin killed in NPA mine blast.”
But not the abs-cbn.com. Its headline, based on the
same PNP press statement was: “Up-and-coming footballer Kieth Absalon passes
away at 21.” It definitely wasn’t merely a case of a writer misusing a term
“pass away,” which is mostly used for deaths due to natural causes.
There wasn’t even a reference to the NPA in the
entire piece, not even a sentence that the police alleges that Absalon was
killed by an NPA mine. Three days after this brazen attempt to hide the fact
that it was the NPA that murdered Absalon and his cousin, abs-cbn.com even
shamelessly ran a piece titled: “Footballer Kieth Absalon died of gunshot
wounds, blast injuries – death certificate.” It was a shameless attempt to
claim even subliminally that “Absalon didn’t die just because of the NPA mine.
He was probably shot later by the PNP.” This was probably a fake news story the
communists were thinking they could develop but abandoned.
Abs-cbn.com stopped attempting to raise doubts
about the murderous role of the NPA only when the Communist Party itself issued
a statement admitting it was its mine that killed Absalon and his cousin and
expressed its “deep remorse.”
This is just another instance of the Communist
Party’s very successful infiltration of media since it launched its armed
insurgency in 1969. You can easily spot communist-backed articles when these
refer to high-ranking party cadres arrested as “peace talks consultants.”
Rather than putting priority on organizing
peasants, as did the old Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas and Maoist theory
espouses, Communist Party chairman Jose Ma. Sison at the start focused on
organizing the youth and students through his Kabataang Makabayan. He justified
this by his claim that the youth are the most articulate sector of Philippine
society, i.e., the best propagandists.
Sison in fact devoted a lot of his time in
recruiting media people into his first core of cadres, such as the then
business editor of the pre-martial law The Manila Times Satur Ocampo and
Philippines Herald associate editor Antonio Zumel. Jose Lacaba, whose Philippine
Free Press articles on the massive student demonstrations of the 1970s inspired
so many students to become activists, was Sison’s early recruit. Sison even
used a newspaper, The Dumaguete Times, organized by one of his inner core
Hermenegildo Garcia 4th and his wife, as a first step in undertaking the
revolution in the Negros Islands, at the time thought to be ripe for revolution
because of the extreme exploitation of sugar hacienda workers.
The first target for control by Sison’s cadres at
the UP was the Philippine Collegian, which since 1969 had editors who were
Communist Party cadres or sympathized with it, although most of them went on
after college to take on careers serving the ruling class. Read the Philippine
Collegian now (easily accessible through their Facebook page) and it follows
closely the line set by the party’s official newspaper Ang Bayan.
Plagiarism
Sison spent more time writing his plagiarism of Mao
and the Indonesian Maoist D.N. Aidit and developing the Ang Bayan than
organizing the masses. Sison in this case was a firm believer of Lenin one of
whose most famous quotes is: “A newspaper is not only a collective propagandist
and a collective agitator, it is also a collective organizer.”
I myself am Exhibit A for the communist
infiltration of media. Even as I had resigned from the party in 1974, after
discovering incontrovertible proof that Sison had ordered the Plaza Miranda
bombing of 1971, I still believed in Marxist theory, which guided me in my
journalistic work in Business Day (together with four other ex-communists
there) that I would like to think helped erode the political base of the Marcos
dictatorship.
One of the main factors why our media has been
deeply infiltrated by communists or their sympathizers is that for decades the
deans and professors at the College of Mass Communication, especially of UP but
including Lyceum, had been longtime communist sympathizers or those who believe
in Marxist theory. This has resulted in the fact that many of probably two
generations of media practitioners from these schools are imbued with the
communist mindset.
One obvious problem is that other than the usual
capitalist ideology (that life’s meaning is to make money) there hasn’t been a
powerful counter-ideology against the communist serve-the-people-by-serving-the-party
ideology, which is needed to inspire our idealistic youth.
The Akbayan in the 1980s, set up by ex-party cadres
and non-Leninist Marxists, had tried to develop such a non-communist ideology
but has miserably failed, with its members even becoming the most rabid of the
Yellows and the most subservient to the ruling class, such as Sen. Risa
Hontiveros.
