That macho dance is part of Philippine pop culture?
Today’s MTRCB hearing was delayed by complaints from Willie Revillame’s camp including Atty Leonardo de Vera on the composition of the board. Here is MTRCB’s statement:
Three members of the MTRCB adjudication committee who were present were Leah Navarro, Eric Mallonga and Eugenio Villareal. On the other hand, TV5 team was headed by legal counsel Christine Ona.
Atty de Vera pointed out that all three panel members of the MTRCB are conflicted as they have close links or relationships with a rival network.
The lawyer also pointed out that Mallonga is the legal counsel of ABS-CBN’s Bantay Bata Foundation while Villareal is married to an employee of ABS-CBN:
Facts are Atty. Eric Mallonga is a child rights advocate because he used to be legal counsel for Bantay Bata. What they didn’t realize was while Atty. Mallonga was in ABS-CBN he was also the chair of the hearing and adjudication board of MTRCB who suspended Willie Revillame because of Wowowee. So how can Atty. Mallonga be biased right?
Atty. Villareal , fully disclosed at the start of the hearings that his wife works at ABS-CBN and is also the lawyer for Ryan Agoncillo who is a talent of ABC-5.
Delaying tactics perhaps.
An interesting thing is while all this was happening, I caught a facebook post in End Child abuse facebook page ( I lost the link as I was reading it in my mobile phone) . The message said the macho dance is part of Philippine pop culture. That post on the FB page was supposedly from a CCP board member. After further sleuthing , it turns out that there was no such person in the board.
A source told me they even presented videos to attest to that kind of dancing done in fiestas etc.
The TV 5 press statement is very disappointing:
Incredulous. Philippine pop culture? Let me guess where they learned those dances.
From shows like Willing Willie?
Well, presenting Willie Revillame’s lawyer. Know where he is coming from as he defends Willie. Facts here and here
Someone in facebook noted some parellelism in the above cases:
