We all know that many programs in different stations that was running nowadays are fighting for those people who abuses others and also exploiting the wrong doing of the citizens in a particular place, group and etc., yes… we must be thankful because there are people and programs who are really concern with the environment and the people that was being abused.
Particularly, these programs are Like, XXX from the network of ABS-CBN, the second one is the IMBESTIGADOR from the GMA7, and last but not the least is the TUTOK TULFO from the TV5.
As a viewer and as a student of the course, Mass Communication Major in Broadcast, I am really a fan of watching those kinds of programs, even though sometimes the time that they aired was late… and also I am really focuses on the current issue or problems that they are trying to solve, the Issues that they are giving solutions are really interesting.
As an observer, I just noticed that the Program of Mr. Tulfo, Specifically the TUTOK TULFO program was a Big No-No for me… because at some points, Mr. Tulfo is saying the NEVER ENDING bad words that results to profanity like “TARANTADONG/GAGONG MGA PULIS YAN”… and “MGA DUWAG”… to tell you honestly, he’s not setting a good example to all the viewers that watching his program… especially to the children who are also watching that program. According to the KBP CODE, Program Standards, number 9 that…. “Programs shall not use dialogues, actions and other similar manifestations which are obscene, blasphemous, profane, derogatory, or vulgar.” But what Mr. Tulfo is doing, he is violating that rules, because, like what I’ve said earlier, he is saying some bad words to those people that he is turns down. And actually, the violation of that Anchor has a corresponding penalty.
, I also noticed that when the topic or the issue was all about our policemen, he was very mad, that’s why it results to saying some bad words. I do understand that he was just showing his sympathy to those who was demoralized or degraded by the other people, but saying those bad words are not the appropriate thing to do or say because at first, he was a anchor, a well known personality that must set a good example to all of the viewers. And as a viewer, I was really affected because I admit, I am a daughter of a policeman, and I can really say that not all in the police community was doing the things that Mr. Tulfo was pointing out to them.
But I was just wondering, why that program is still continuing to air, even the anchor was always doing the same mistake? Or the same violation. According to Mr. Joey Collantes of the Veritas, the one who I interviewed last time, they are still airing because even that they are doing that kind of violation, they are still the reason why many people are watching the program and that was the reason why they are gaining more viewers and earning money. So, it means that... for them, the viewers and the money was more important than giving punishment to that kind of program. And for my opinion, I am really disagree to it and I am hoping that KBP can give a fair action to this, so that, the Rules and Regulation may not fall into a display only.
I also don't like how Tulfo does his work, he seemed to be a mighty king who knows everything..
ReplyDeleteHe should be slapped by ETHICS PAPERS on his face.
The sad thing and ironic one is the fact that, still, there are people who continue to listen to his program and never ending boastfulness!!
I think, since the primary consideration is the listeners, the act of boycotting the program should be manifested by the listeners themselves, by that, the management will be able to see how the program especially their host are going out of boundaries. This shouldn't be tolerated anymore.
*ARE the listeners.. (correction)
