    They probably realize now that there's no other choice.

     

    Who else is there? A thug like Duterte? a weak and unimaginative Mar Roxas? Cayetano with his pathetic 1% approval rating? Trillanes, the loose cannon who talks faster than he can think?

     

    Anyway, Peping has already declared that he will support Binay's presidential bid, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Aquino sisters already have a deal with him for the safety of Abnoy.

     

    Seems like you forgot to include Grace Poe (but, mind you, she's a sure win for a VP candidacy) and Ping Lacson. :rolleyes:

  2. I'd lie for you-Meatloaf

     

    I didn't know that someone had a good pick on music particularly on this one. :D The song itself has a real title "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)". Through this song, the band artist, Meat Loaf, won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance. Nice one.

  3. Bill Gates was probably advised that PNoy wasn't rational (ie. Abnormal) and decided to call the meeting off.

     

    As the saying goes, good riddance to bad rubbish. At the expense of Bill Gates, Malacanang will just have another publicity in favor of Pnoy in the event the former did not decide to withdraw their request.

    If i am not mistaken, ang slogan or whatever that is sa plate during erap's term was "Angay Pinoy 2004", ke Abnoy? Patapos na ang termino n'ya pero 'di pa din naglalagay, akala ko nga noon "daang matuwid" o "matuwid na landas", pero hindi pala, sala-salabat pala ang daang tinahak ni Abnoy, much worse that of PGMA

     

    That’s right. "Angat Pinoy 2004" (2000 – 2001) was under Erap’s admin. While "Perlas ng Silangan" (2001 – 2002) had overlapped Erap’s and GMA’s admin.

     

    The slogan on the bottom of the licence plate usually reflects the goals campaign of the incumbent President. The practice began under President Fidel V. Ramos' "Philippines 2000" campaign in 1995. Until 2004, plates also bore the word "Pilipinas" at the bottom; it was replaced with the Arroyo government's slogan "Matatag Na Republika" ("Strong Republic") which was still used instead of the "Daang Matuwid" ("Straight Path") slogan even when Benigno Aquino III became President in 2010.

    • PILIPINAS (the most common inscription; 1981–1995, 2001-2003)
    • PHILIPPINES 2000 (1995–2000)
    • ANGAT PINOY 2004 ("Raise Pinoy 2004"; 2000–2001)
    • PERLAS NG SILANGAN ("Pearl of the Orient"; 2001–2002)
    • MATATAG NA REPUBLIKA (2003-2014)
    • DAANG MATUWID (Was not used from 2010-2014)

    Marshall McLuhan's media study works in the early 1960's suggested that the media itself is the message and that they are intrumental in shaping human and cultural experiences. There is one communication theory called Used and Gratification which basically suggests that many people consume media with the intent to live a life vicariously. People consume media based on different motives which may include social interaction, entertainment, escape, arousal, etc.
    I think that as much as the media shape and influence our society, people also shape the media. Media provides the content based on demand. Drama and sensationalized stories are rating because people show interest and the more people show interest, the more media will show the same content. And because the media is showing the same content, more and more people adapt, accept and follow the content because they find some sort satisfaction. Bottomline is that both media and the people consuming media have responsibilities and both can influence one another.

     

     

    Based on what I read, one of Marshall McLuhan’s notable ideas was the “The medium is the message” in which he stated that a medium affects the society not only by the content delivered but also by the characteristics of the medium itself.Take a movie for example, he said that the movie is a medium itself. Any content of such is always another medium. Same thing with television, any program of such is always another medium.

     

    I like the way how he interpreted Cubism on the subject of art history. He said that it clearly announced that the medium itself is the message. It means that one could not ask what the artwork was about (its content) but consider it in its entirety. Anyway, McLuhan’s ideas seemed to be centered on the question “what does media do to people?” That’s why we can expect stiff competition among media. Out of competition, they simply mean to satisfy consumers.

     

    As for the Uses and Gratification theory, it has focused on the questions “what do people do with media?”, “why and how do people use specific media?” The audience or consumers then are the active ones. They are responsible for choosing the kind of media to satisfy their wants. Thus, I agree with the poster above that both parties (media and consumers) can influence and are responsible or have responsibilities with one another.
