Kaban ni D_BystandeR: MAY PINALABI ANG MANTALAANG "THE FREEMAN"?


I cannot imagine of a TF editorial that does not always take partisan side in favor of the Rama administration. And just because the proposal comes from a member of the opposition - BOPK - it is always held suspect by TF editorial calling it a worthless cause because, as The FREEMAN editorial reasons out, it is just post
poning the "inevitable," meaning, whatever grace period given to the poor in a span of one year as proposed in the moratorium that no demolition of houses be made is worthless according to the "bright boy" who penned The FREEMAN editorial. Just because this guy is living in the comfort of his spacious home with all the things that he needs are just at his fingertips because he is not poor like the informal settlers, he is shown to have cast his contemptuous aspersion against the poor not knowing that the "one year moratorium" proposed could already be considered like a boon to a man who breaths a sigh of relief that his death sentence is moved for one year. And this TF editorial, I observed, is always using the fluency of his pen to distort a good meaning to a proposal just because it did not come from the side of his favorite Team Rama. What a great disservice to the poor has The FREEMAN did by advocating against this "one year moratorium." I just hope the Editor of The FREEMAN will be reminded of the seriousness of the campaign initiated by Pope Francis directed to all world leaders to be compassionate to the poor.
