GMA NEWS: KBP FINDS ABS-CBN, TV5, RMN GUILTY FOR THE HOSTAGE CRISIS!

KBP fines ABS-CBN, TV5, RMN for hostage crisis coverage
by GMA News and Public Affairs

The Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), the national association of owners and operators of radio and television stations in the country, has levied fines on two major television networks and one radio network for broadcasting information that it ruled could have compromised police efforts to rescue the hostages during the day-long hostage-taking incident at the Quirino Grandstand on Aug. 23, 2010.

The KBP Standards Authority ordered ABS-CBN Broadcasting Channel 2, Associated Broadcasting Company Channel 5 (now known as TV5), and radio station Radyo Mo Nationwide (RMN, which was earlier called Radio Mindanao Network) to each pay P30,000 in penalty for violations of the KBP broadcast code.


In addition to RMN’s fine, news anchors Michael Rogas and Erwin Tulfo were ordered to pay fines of P15,000 and P10,000, respectively, for getting in the way of negotiations between police and hostage-taker Rolando Mendoza.

In the Dec. 15, 2010 ruling – a copy of which PCIJ obtained only recently – the KBP also ordered RMN to reprimand both Rogas and Tulfo for their role in the coverage.

"GMA NEWS: KBP FINDS ABS-CBN, TV5, RMN GUILTY FOR THE HOSTAGE CRISIS!"

if i were to ask you, is it fair that abscbn and tv5 only will pay the consequences of the recent hostage taking coverage? sila lang ba ang mga network na nagcover ng event na un?

nakakainis lang basahin, sa title pa lang ng article na to, then the source is GMA NEWS pa.. napaka ironic lang naman, kasi regardless of the withdrawn membership of GMA from KBP due to commercial loads last 2007, that doesnt mean that they have no obligations on this matter, other agency such as mtrcb should act o this or in the involvement of gma network as well.

parang tuwang tuwa pa ang gma news sa pagsasabing GUILTY ang TV5 at ABSCBN sa hostage crisis...
