She did it again! Korina Sanchez has done a repeat of her unethical, insensitive, unprofessional, irresponsible, reckless and brazen style of reporting the latest news on Philippine TV (via ABS-CBN). Helped along by her co-hosts Noli de Castro and Ted Failon on TV Patrols airing of Dec. 3, 2014 about Typhoon Ruby (aka Hagupit), Sanchez remarked that Filipinos ought to pray that the super typhoon should spare the Philippines and hit Japan instead. In reply, Noli de Castro said that hed rather wish that the typhoons devastation would be shared 50-50 with Japan. Instead of taking the hint, Sanchez insisted that Japan ought to bear the brunt entirely because they could well afford it. For details, watch the Kikoman Channel News at https://youtube/watch?v=G4lq8nBYFJw These remarks are clearly uncalled for, especially since Sanchez is married to no less than the Secretary of Interior and Local Governments; de Castro is a former Vice President while Failon is a former Congressman. By her words alone, Sanchez has managed to make the entire country seem ungrateful for all the economic, material, and political support that Japan has generously provided us, especially during times of calamity. As for her prayerfulness, does Korina really believe that God listens to those who pray that calamity fall on someone else? If so -- shades of Mommy D. -- I can imagine whom she prays hard for to be hexed as a presidential candidate! One immediate result is that a satire news report that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared Sanchez to be wholeheartedly unwelcome throughout Japan went viral on the internet. This satire report was initially believed by many people throughout the world to be true. To clarify matters, News Fuse Today published Japan Didnt Declare Filipina News Reader Korina Sanchez ‘Persona Non Grata’. Watch it at: https://youtube/watch?v=l_jWsPnMuOo. Please note that this clarification (which is mostly audio) and its accompanying text does not absolve Sanchez. Instead it emphasizes all the more her need to think before she flips her lips. The the spoken word can never be retrieved, especially if live and on TV where deniability is zilch. The accompanying text follows below: BEGIN ACCOMPANYING TEXT: Published on Dec 9, 2014 Like the fake news that Malia Obama is pregnant, Japan did not declare ABS-CBN news reader Korina Sanchez a persona non grata for saying on air that super typhoon Ruby (Hagupit) should spare the Philippines and hit Japan instead. The source of that misinformation is a satire Web site named So, Whats News? On the right side of the portal is the description of what SWN is, which reads: So, Whats News? Is a SATIRICAL & FICTIONAL news website. Our aim is to inject humor into everyday news to provide respite to readers who have grown weary with mainstream new organizations partisan, biased and depressing way of presenting the news. In the satire news, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was even quoted as saying, I am very saddened to hear reports of schadenfreude (NB: pleasure derived by someone from another persons misfortune) coming from a TV anchor who just last year, was put in her place by Mr. Anderson Cooper of CNN. He continued, That is why without a second thought, I am declaring wholeheartedly Ms. Korina Sanchez of the Philippines, as an unwelcome person anywhere in Japan. The same satire was repeated in several YouTube postings. On Twitter, a number of members asked if the news that Japan has declared the wife of Interior Sec. Mar Roxas as persona non grata, while some were happy, believing the news is true. Raul J. de Vera Jr. had an I knew it moment, saying, I seriously dont think Japan government will stoop down to her level of thinking. Andre Tiangco said that while the article appears to be a parody, still, Sanchez should be affected by people using the term conduct unbecoming of an Interior Ministrys wife. A Japanese with the Twitter handle @ouikawa said that Sanchez deserves the declaration, while patricia sembrano added, serves korina sanchez right. Sometimes she really doesnt know how to watch her words. Yna Arzadon-Blanco urged the news reader to review the code of ethics of journalism, while Sari Lazaro has a three-word advice: Just zip it. Lorenzo cruz pointed that Noli de Castro, the co-news reader of Sanchez and former vice president of the Philippines, wished that only half of the typhoon would hit Japan, so he should be declared half persona non grata. Kevin J has a nice suggest which many TV viewers would agree, even if the news was a hoax. He tweeted, Korina Sanchez should be banned in Japan for real. In fact, she should be banned from National TV. Since the offensive comment was aired on Saturday night, many Filipinos monitored on Monday TV Patrol, the newscast where Sanchez and de Castro appear, to see if the two would apologise for their remarks. But there were no apologies to the disappointment of viewers. At the end of their newscast, the two even proudly pointed out that the power of prayer of Filipinos caused the cold winds to come in and weaken Ruby into an ordinary typhoon as of that was the only remarks they made on Saturday. The two ended the newscast all smiles, probably thinking that the impact of their negative comments too have been forgotten by the public and the countrys Asian neighbours. END OF ACCOMPANYING TEXT NOTE: To this date neither of the three co-hosts, nor their TV station have apologized for the impropriety of the remarks uttered by Sanchez. Thick hides, I suppose. HOY, GISING!
