    I never realize they was such a corrupt media in the Philipines, but I guess I was just naive. The commercial media, particularly on the FB, seem to be totally against anything Duterte wants to do. So I can see that there could be some negative image building going on at the international level. Lots of people previously in power politically still are in power and control within the media. Their livelihoods are probably being influenced by the new Presidents programs. It is like the old regime is still in place in the media if not politically. The media can control how the public thinks by the stories it emphasizes and the stories that never get told. Duterte has his hands full with the media. I guess I better understand his negative statements now about the media when he came into office. The media exposes itself a little better now. With Aguino is was just one big happy family, and all got rich at the top.
