Can’t Get Enough
The strict mobility imposed under MECQ has prevented this foot loose from going around town to look for vignettes and other small items that would fill you in for a better view of what’s up around town. On the backdrop of the two previous columns, the issue of the network war keeps coming bac...
Network War Still On
In my most recent column piece (Towering No More) I mentioned that one of the fall out of the non-renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise is the eventual demise of the so-called network war. For the millions of the viewing public, the lack of stiff competition with GMA 7 providing comfort, it ...
