President Benigno Aquino III criticized former Vice President Noli De Castro during the 25th anniversary celebration of TV Patrol. De Castro anchored the newscast since its creation in 1987 then left from 2001-2010 when he entered politics. The President minced no words even if De Castro, known as Kabayan, was also present in the event.
Aquino graced the celebration at the Manila Hotel on Friday, July 27, but the bulk of his speech was not focused on ABS-CBN’s flagship primetime newscast.
Instead, Aquino used the occasion to criticize De Castro for supposed baseless speculation, and commentaries against the administration despite his own stint in government.
The President did not name De Castro but referred to a TV Patrol anchor who is an ex-government official.
Napaisip nga po ako: ‘yung nagkomento nito, hindi ba’t anim na taon ding tumangan sa renda ng gobyerno? Sabihin na po nating minana lang din nila ang problema; ‘di hamak mas luma naman ang ipinamana nilang problema sa amin.”
“Anim na taon ang ipinagkaloob sa kanya para tumulong sa pagsasaayos ng mismong inireklamo niya. Pero ngayon, tayo na nga ang may bitbit na problema, tayo na nga ang tutugon dito, pero masakit nga ho, may gana pang hiritan ng nagpamana?”
News chief: No bad feelings
In a report aired on ABS-CBN's late-night newscast Bandila, ABS-CBN head of News and Current Affairs Ging Reyes responded to the President's tirade.
"Walang bad feelings, walang pikunan at kami’y naniniwala na marami naman din talagang babatikos sa atin dahil di lahat matutuwa sa ating binabalita at nilalabas sa TV Patrol." - Source: Rappler.com
