Unfair Labor Practice in the Philippines
The Unfair Labor Practices in Media “Service for the people”, these words are usually being carried along by most television networks. A service that unlocks the awareness to the ill-governed and anomalies of the government, the window that shows how people live in sorrows and the juggler who entertains the people to relive the stress they’ve had in a day of hassle. Everything should’ve been in good place if only the people who are of big contribution to the success of the service were granted by something due to these works of them. As I was reading through the posts of buhaymedia.wordpress.com, I realized how blind I was to the real world of the television networks. Of course, I could only see good about it because I was also fed only by good things about it. The journalists composed the media which is the watchdog or the fourth state and it’s their dedication and responsibility to bring forth and defend the rights of the masses and when we say masses it means the whole. But it seems that only a part of the whole is covered by it, according to the ex-GMA talent and a member of the Talents Association of GMA Network Inc. (TAG) Mike Manalaysay, “Kung kami mga journalist, pinagtatanggol namin ‘yung mga karapatan ng ibang tao, edi mas dapat din naming ipagtanggol ‘yung mga karapatan namin (Dangla, 2014). In the Philstar Cebu Online News of May 17, 2014, the petition filed by the former talents of GMA Network’s Cebu station for certiorari was denied by the Special Eighteenth Division of the Court of Appeals (CA). It was filed against the network on November 7, 2005 for the unfair labor practice, illegal suspension, illegal dismissal and non-payment of labor benefits before the National Labor Relations Commission. But then, according to the NLRC and the Labor Arbiter, nothing exists such employer-employee relationship between GMA and the petitioners in the decision by Associate Justice Renato Francisco. CA said, “GMA is constrained by mandate of law to exercise

    Labor Relations Hw 2

    My award and opinion as an arbitrator would be to be in accordance with the union’s position. The grievant could have committed any type of irresponsible actions or any discrepancies, there is no way to prove it, and the fault for setting up such system where the guilty cannot be proven was made by the employer. Therefore, in this case, the grievant does not belong inside the circumference of “just cause” because the employer did not set up a proper boundary that makes the application of “just cause” standard apprehensible.…

    Book Review: News from Nowhere by Edward Jay Epstein

    Edward Jay Epstein started his book with a quotation “Our reporters do not cover stories from their point of view; they are presenting them from nobody’s point of view”, which was a statement from the President of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), Richard S. Salant. The book, which primarily talks about the television news, shows a lot of information about how television news works way before the 1980s; the structure of a television network and the values and rules it follows, the process of selecting and broadcasting reliable, truthful news and the added outputs about the major happenings in the world were defined in the book. Moreover, there were also some quite interesting numbers of information inscribed in the book: the conflict of networks and the government, the struggle of network in terms of its economic race, the role of television in the society and a whole lot more.…

    Social Media in China

    Mass media influence and restrict by the social and political, at the same time, the characteristics of the mass media also influence the process of social development. In most of the westen coutries, the media set up their rloe as the ‘watch dog’ for the governemtn, supervision the government and as well as a bridge of communication between government and public. From the Collins English Dictionary, a watchdog is defined as ‘a person or group of persons that acts as a protector or guardian against inefficiency, illegal practices’ [1]. To perform in an investigative manner, the journalist is in the ‘role’ of a watchdog. ‘Watchdog journalism is a state of mind for the whole newspaper: Journalism that gives power to the people.’Hall (2011). For maintain the leadership and reputation of the government, the ‘safety of the contry’ will be an excuse when government tries to hide the truth and informations. In these situations, the funtion of watchdog in media can express in a right way. Such as the famous event, Watergate, which had forced the Nixon out of office in 1974, is a good example for the media as a role of the government’s watchdog. In a country that guarantees freedom of the press, watchdog journalism can be ‘a highly effective mechanism of external control on corruption’ (Brunetti, Weder 2003, p.1804). But the situation in China will be more complicated.…

    Quirino Grandstand Ethical Analysis

    Lost in the aftermath of the investigation into what is now known as “Rizal Park hostage-taking incident” was the negative role of the Media played that added fuel to the shooting incident. Most of the major TV companies represented by their top news reporters, by communicating directly to the hostage-taker and by broadcasting the arrest of his brother, even though they know that a TV set was being used inside the bus, compromised and tied the hands of the negotiators to have the upper hand in the negotiation. The sight of his brother being arrested pushed the hostage-taker to start shooting the innocent victims. Although most of these Broadcast companies were found to be in violation of Section 4, Article 6 of the KBP Broadcast Code, which states “The coverage of crimes or crisis situations shall not provide vital information or offer comfort or support to the perpetrators”, with a fine of no more than P30,000.00, not one of them accepted direct responsibility and explicitly apologized for the said fiasco. KBP cannot even sanction one major TV Company since it was not a member.…
