KONTEKSTO: Peryodismo ang tinapos na kurso kahit na plano noong mag-shift sa Ekonomiks. Bakit naunsyami? Isang kuwentong dating walang kuwenta pero may kuwenta na ngayon dahil sa krisis. pinoyweekly.org/2026/04/ekonom…

To quote from the news article: "Filipinos are not gullible but are victims of sophisticated technology that information peddlers use to spread 'fake news', an expert said of [...] disinformation about the health of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr." abs-cbn.com/news/nation/20…

UPD TRIVIA: The journalism program is older than CMC. The English department was the first to offer journalism courses. That's why DECL may be considered our mother; and CAL, our grandmother. At dahil isang dekada nang walang bahay ang aming kapamilya, galit na galit din po kami!

KUWENTONG UPIS: After the daughter's asynchronous typing lessons this morning, the father did a one-minute, hard text online exercise without warm-up just to show her how it's done. While 81 wpm is deemed "fast," it's not yet pro level. Two-word message: More practice.

UPD NOCTURNAL IDEA: May we have a town hall meeting (or debate) on the practicality, beneficiality and necessity of nationalizing the downstream oil industry. For the affirmative side, it's just a matter of reviewing the 1990s arguments using current data as proof.

HAWAK MUSICAL NOTES: There's a difference between GenAI-generated and GenAI-assisted. The first is problematic but the second is somewhat acceptable (as long as there's proper disclosure). One test is a song's live performance. If there's none then there's reason to doubt.

Q: Those who oppose removal of indirect taxes on petroleum products claim that it benefits mainly the rich based on consumption data. Then again, they look at nominal value of money as the same regardless of class status. P10 feels like P100 for the poor, don't you know?

ACAD STAT: Exactly 187 papers checked. GCR shows 0 "turned in" for all courses being handled. Does this mean zero backlog? No. There are still 20 papers "assigned." When will the concerned students submit the pending requirements? Here's hoping for some information. Please do.

MEDIA LABELS: When does a source become an "analyst" or "expert"? While such labels should be based on authority in the chosen discipline, it appears that those who get more space and airtime are just the ones who are glib and loud. Sorry to ask but why does this happen?

OPH INFO SOURCES: While economists can discuss pump prices, the news media are better off interviewing those who specialize in disciplines like sociology and development studies. Then again, the best option now is to talk to mass leaders. Two words: Critical analysis.

MEDIA FRAMING: A broadcast station produces a transport strike-related socmed card with the headline "Ganti ng mga walang ayuda." This is grossly inaccurate. Better to write "Welgang bayan" if preferring brevity and focusing on the strike's nature. Please do more research.
