Quote “In the issue of The Philippine Daily Inquirer dated August 5, 2007, there was an article entitled “Art of Widow in Yellow kicks off Ninoy Month”.
Quote “This article mainly talked about the paintings of former President Corazon Aquino and is a form of a single-sourced story.The story was included at the frontpage of the PDI but I think it should have been placed on other sections for feature stories. The article purely talked about Cory Aquino and her painting hobby. It somehow served as an invitational for her upcoming exhibit. The article was somehow long but mainly discussed her paintings. There was even descriptions of each painting which were quite relevant to her life and family.
Quote “The article only had Cory as the source and was more of a personality sketch rather than a news story. It was quite misleading for the readers who were actually expecting a news story at the front page. The story for me should have been more informative.” Closed-quote. Sep 6, 7:00 AM —

Quote “Yesterday, a few tabloids released a story that a Sigma Rho member let his lips loose (sic) and said he was one of the alleged members of the fraternity who hit Cris Mendez. He also mentioned
Masaccio. St. Julian Slaying His Parents. St. Nicholas Saving Three Sisters From Prostitution. Predella from the Pisa Altar. 1426. Tempera on panel. Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Gemaldegalerie, Berlin, Germany. Right-clicked from www.abcgallery.com
other members of the fraternity who were there during the alleged hazing. Today, however the witness cannot be contacted already. Maybe he was scared to be the next victim. In the Inquirer (article by Norman Bordadora), the NCPAG SC Chairperson Paolo Ante was removed from his position and recommended for expulsion. Meanwhile, a known member of the frat, _______ (name removed by blog administrator for legal reasons, the person referred to is not a Sigma Rhoan, check your facts! – from blog admin) said that there were no concrete evidence to prove that the initiation rites were the reason for Mendez’s death. Fraternities continue there (sic) notion of “physical initiation” due to the fact that their alumni allow it. The story has good sources, and many statements were taken (from Dean Brillantes of NCPAG, Father Robert Reyes and Suplico).” closed-quote. Sep 6, 4:30 AM —

Quote “This is about the Aug. 8, 2007 issue of the Philippine Collegian. On the Opinyon page (page 9) of the said issue, an article by Collegian writer Noel Hernaiz, titled “For Chris S. A.”, appeared. In the
Chaim Soutine. The Mad Woman/La folle. c. 1919. Oil on canvas. 87 x 65.1 cm. Private collection. Right-clicked from www.abcgallery.com
said article, Hernaiz comments (sic) about the columm of Chris Agrava. Hernaiz wrote that Agrava’s columm has (sic) no social relevance and that all he writes (sic) about are (sic) all about (sic) his travels and experiences. Here Hernaiz calls (sic) Agrava, though not explicitly, “pot bellied”. What is even more intriguing about this is that Agrava’s columm “Return to Sender” appears (sic) on the right side of the page, its regular spot in the page. Here, Hernaiz’s article was a clear attack on Agrava’s. However, there are no ethical provisions against a journalist commenting against another’s work.
Quote “There are provisions, however, against a journalist personally attacking a fellow journalist. Hernaiz clearly violated such provisions by calling Agrava names and ridiculing his phusical (sic) appearance. What was more agrevating of the situatuin (sic) was the articles’ placement. Placing an article commenting about a writer and/or his work beside that writer’s work would undoubtedly lead a reader to verify the claims of the commentary. In this case, however, the commentary also has (sic) comments on the writer himself. This may lead the reader to incorrectly look into thing in the same way as the commenting writer did.
Quote “i talked to Collegian EIC Jerry Abella about the matter and he said that he would refer it to his staff.” Closed-quote. Sep 5, 11:03 AM —
