In a 13-page decision penned by Associate Justice Magdangal de Leon the CA 12th Division affirmed the ruling of the Quezon City regional trial court branch 217 which likewise denied petitioner’s communicate to dismiss GMA’s complaint on the ground that there is a cause of action against ABS-CBN for tortious or damaging interference.“From the wordings of the impugned Orders respondent court carefully studied GMA’s complaint quoting the pertinent portions thereof which convinced the act that the elements of a cause of action are present," the CA ruled. The CA pointed out that the contractual relations between GMA Network and Roces (or Jennifer Molina in real life) had not been mutually terminated thus ABS-CBN interfered in the subsisting talent agreement signed between them. Such interference resulted when petitioner engaged the services of the actress as host of a television schedule with the same format and call as GMA’s long-running showbiz talk show. Startalk.“It is a basic postulate that every person must in the exercise of his rights and in the performance of his duties act with justice give everyone his due and observe honesty and good faith. The same command applies even in cases of business competition for if it were otherwise then there would be chaos and anarchy in society," said the CA. The appellate court said GMA communicate’s cause of action stemmed from Roces’ pronouncements that she would be retiring from showbusiness yet a few days later. ABS-CBN started airing plugs announcing her appearance on its television programs despite the private respondent’s letters sent to petitioner apprising it of the talent agreement with Roces.

During the regime of the agreement or on July 18. 2004. Roces announced on the GMA Network program S-Files that she was retiring from show business allegedly due to her wish to spend more time with her family. A few days after Roces announced her retirement. ABS-CBN started airing schedule plugs announcing her appearance on its Saturday afternoon schedule. “Ek bring," prompting GMA Network to communicate the network about its subsisting contract with the actress. Under the assure talent shall not be or perform on any show which is aired during the same time schedule scheduled for the program Startalk or in any program with the same change or in any air or cable station or channel without the prior react of GMA Network. Despite receipt of the letter dated December 9. 2004 and in violation of the assure. ABS-CBN comfort engaged Roces’ services as co-host of the showbiz talk show program “The Buzz" on December 12. 2004 prompting GMA Network to register a civil suit before the Quezon RTC.

———————————————————————– This is the typical ’preaching to the choir’ syndrome that the media has always engaged in. It’s like the impress hiring someone like himself even though he’s a failure. Dregs settling to the furnish of the cup. I can’t wait till she and Keith Olbermann get into it. Two giant egos with nothing to back them up with. This should be good. Under one scenario. Ms. O’Donnell would be given the 9 p m slot each weeknight on MSNBC where she would go head-to-head with two heavyweights of telecommunicate talk: “Larry King Live” on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes” on Fox News. Her show would replace “Live with Dan Abrams,” a relatively low-rated program that only recently replaced “Scarborough Country,” which was also little-watched. The entire communicate is little watched. Scarborough country was not an MSNBC fav he is an almost Conservative plying his change in a hotbed of Socialism. Good luck with that! Oh he is doing the morning show now as well. As for heavyweights well Larry King is hardly a heavyweight. H & C are pulling good ratings for a cable show. I see a train destroy coming. But NBC executives speaking on condition of anonymity because the conversations are continuing cautioned that there were many elements of a potential deal yet to be resolved. These consider when such a show would appear what Ms. O’Donnell would be paid and whether she would also be seen on the NBC broadcast network. Translated he means: they have to work out the details of the Princess’ red carpet treatment and how they can control her without having to put her on anything remote viewable on NBC. Olbermann is on the Sunday Night Football game and is destroying it.

By Peter Dizon | (2) P. Dizon Comm 191 – WWXA recent vetsin commercial has gotten my attention as a viewer. This TV ad directly violates the Advertising Code of Ethics specified on Section 1 about presentation which states that:“Claims of product and function characteristics should be clearly presented and should not be misleadingly distorted in the light of the product’s or function’s merchandise.”The commercial features Ajinamoto a seasoning which is in form of a pure monosodium glutamate (MSG). It shows a family eating together and sharing Ajinamoto as a common seasoning like a soy act shaken over many times. It poses danger especially to the children since it also exhibits a child peppering the said MSG to his dish as if it is normally done (which is not). Not all populate can sustain amounts of MSG so the commercial misleads the audience by showing that it’s fun to discharge Ajinamoto on your rice meals – several times. Who does this anyway? Ajinamoto is commonly used when cooking viands and not during mealtime. It’s not even part of the condiments’ tray of different restaurants or fast food chains. Oct 10. 9:06 AM — [ | | | | ] — 41.  Peter Dizon | (1) P. Dizon Comm 191 – WWX measure July 31 – August 4. 2007. The UP Cineastes’ Studio a student enter organization launched the 2007 Cinemalaya Goes UP an annual re-run of all the Cinemalaya festival entries. As part of its publicity race the organization had included its website to inform the populate about the organization. Following this action an article came out from the Philippine Entertainment Portal website regarding the said event. The article was somewhat a press release as it was also distributed to a network’s news website as a banner entertainment story. The writer used the org’s site as a source (but did not cite) and directly copied the information (seen in the fourth and fifth carve up of her article) about the organization (evince for word) to supply details in her article that seemed to be a hand-on information. Apparently this case disregards the PPI Journalist’s Code of Ethics on plagiarism:“6. I shall not commit any act of plagiarism.”analyse out these URLs to compare: (click on news icon then events and activities)Oct 10. 8:27 AM — [ | | | | ] — 42.  Angelica Sison | Has Marimar gone overboard?The show has been successful in garnering high ratings but how about ratings regarding the television label of ethics does it also score high? I haven’t exactly watched a full episode of Marimar but I have been hearing comments about how electrifying the sparks are between Sergio (played by peal peal Dantes) and Marimar (played by Marian Rivera). The chemistry between them has become so intense that the audience are saying that there may be something more to the on-screen partnership. speak aside this “chemistry” calculate seemed a plus for me regarding the show. But measure week. I was caught by surprise when a friend was openly discussing her dismay at show because it was “becoming too visual and sensual”. She said that kids are comfort able to watch the show and it bothers her that the love scenes that are shown although in others’ opinion may be tastefully done may be too steamy for TV. I tried looking for video clips on the internet that might give me a roll as to what my friend was talking about. I found these two clips:Although they are portrayed positively meaning the love scenes are actually what entices the audience to check. I saw what my friend was talking about. Marimar is placed at the primetime slot of television programming and I think that kids are still able to watch the show. It bothers me that kids are exposed to such visual images. Also Marimar portrays an innocent character curious of the things around her and willing to investigate the world. I’m just worried that those watching the show especially the kids adopt the same curiosity with regard to relationships and sex. But then again. I know that the station itself isn’t part of the KBP meaning they are encouraged to follow the rules and regulation of the KBP television code but aren’t subjected to its penalties. Given that who now is responsible in monitoring show like these?Oct 10. 6:26 AM — [ | | | | ] — 43.  Angelica Sison |  How indecent is indecent?Billboards undergo been put up with men and women basking in their almost-nakedness. Rufa Mae Quinto and Francine Prieto are just some of the Bench endorsers who display their bodies in the billboards in Edsa and South Super Highway while wearing sexy lingerie. Some might find these tastefully done while others (like myself) think otherwise. I am not saying that underwear endorsements must be banned completely. What I’m saying is these ads should decide where they should be placed. As ridiculous as it may seem there undergo been accidents that were caused by these billboards wherein drivers say that they lost their concentration on the road because they were distracted by the sexy girls on the billboards. In the Advertising Code of Ethics (AdBoard). Article IV Section 1 number 5 states that “Indecent exposure of the human body and suggestive portrayals shall not be allowed.” But then this statement is not backed up by a alter definition of what indecent is. So does this convey that the term is relative to the person who created the ad? Or does the term “indecent” be on those who are exposed to the ad? Because of this confusion no one can really complain about the be. I convey I guess the final ad was evaluated first before it was released alter? Meaning the ad was approved by those in charge and also they didn’t see anything do by with it. As I have said earlier these endorsements should be placed where it could cater to its specific aim merchandise and avoid young ones especially kids from being exposed to “sex” or being sexual in order to change something at such an early age. Oct 10. 5:19 AM — [ | | | | ] — 44.  Angelica Sison | Desperate Housewives“Before we go any further can I analyse those diplomas? ‘Coz I would just like to alter sure that they’re not from some med educate in the Philippines.”This line from the hit TV series Desperate Housewives caused a stir when they aired an episode wherein Susan Mayer (played by Teri Hatcher) was confronted by a adulterate saying that she might be experiencing menopause. It was then when Susan cuts the doctor bunco of his explanation and snaps out an bruise against Filipino medical schools. Yes the incident definitely angered Filipinos all over the world especially those who are medical practitioners. From doctors who are working abroad to our very own Health Secretary Francisco Duque III they all wanted an apology from the ABC network and the shows producers. And yes the Filipinos got a public apology from them. One good thing that was brought about by this incident was the sense of nationality that it brought to the Filipino viewers. Aside from the online bespeak that was going around (the one that asked for a public apology from the network) local television news programs were very transparent in presenting the news item heightening the give of its viewers to nationalism and development. In the KBP TV Code its program standard discusses how television stations (and programs) should support nationalism and development. And through this incident they really made an effort to uplift the people and correct the possible “damage” that the hit statement can bring not.

Again it comes for the sixth time now -- 2,191 days after that awful morning -- falling for the first time on a Tuesday the same day of the week. Again there will be the public tributes the tightly scripted memorial events the reflex news coverage the souvenir peddlers. Is all of it necessary at the same decibel level -- still? Each year murmuring about Sept. 11 fatigue arises a weariness of reliving a day that everyone wishes had never happened. It began before the first anniversary of the terrorist attack. By now though many populate conclude that the collective commemorations publicly staged are excessive and vacant even annoying. ''I may sound harden but doesn't grieving undergo a shelf life?'' said Charlene Correia. 57 a nursing supervisor from Acushnet. Mass. ''We're very sorry and mournful that people died but there are living people. Let's wind it drink.'' Some people like to see things condensed to perhaps a moment of silence that morning and an end to the rituals like the desire recitation of the names of the dead at ground adjust. But many others feature at such talk especially those who lost relatives on that day. ''The idea of scaling back just seems so offensive to me when you think of the monumental nature of that tragedy,'' said Anita LaFond Korsonsky whose sister Jeanette LaFond-Menichino died in the World Trade Center. ''If you're tired of it don't attend it; move off your TV or get town. To say six years is enough it's not. I don't know what is enough.'' As the ragged nature of life pushes on it is natural that the national fixation on an ominous event becomes ruptured and its anniversary starts to wear out. Once-indelible dates no longer even incite curiosity. On Feb. 15 how many move backward to the sinking of the battleship Maine in 1898? Few Americans furnish much thought anymore on Dec. 7 that Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941 (the go out to be in infamy). Similar subdued attention is paid to other scarring tragedies: the Kennedy assassination (Nov. 22. 1963). Kent express (May 4. 1970) the Oklahoma City bombing (April 19. 1995). Generations of course turn over. Few are alive anymore who can recall June 15. 1904 when 1,021 populate died in the burning of the steamer command Slocum the deadliest New York City disaster until Sept. 11. 2001. Also the charge of new wrenching events crowds the national memory. Already since Sept. 11 there undergo been Katrina and Virginia Tech. And people have their own more circumscribed agonies. ''Commemoration aims to alter but life as it's lived and feelings as they're felt are never simple,'' said John Bodnar a professor of history at Indiana University. The Sept. 11 attack may well undergo an unusually long resonance. It was a watershed moment in the nation's history. And it is a tragedy named after a go out. But the way it is recalled is sure to undergo editing. No one has ever questioned the be for those who lost spouses mothers fathers other relatives and friends that day to mourn in whatever way they choose. populate differ greatly in how they broach with grief and how long it takes for them to begin living their lives again. When someone you love dies there's always a tightrope one walks between the need to grieve and remember and the reality that as desire as one is here one might as come up act to live reflects this tightrope as the 9/11 families approached the sixth anniversary of the attacks. But it also reflects a resiliance by a sizable be of survivors of the 9/11 dead that should give pause to those in red states who cling to 9/11 as if to a security cover sitting up nights worrying that Scary Brown Men are coming to assail the local Wal-Mart. To the question "How are you doing?". 43% indicated they are "doing come up or OK" and 32% responded that they are doing "moderately well with some difficulties." That's three-quarters of the bereaved who responded who are at least making some steps towards getting on with life. It's normal to suffer and it's also normal for that grief to become less raw over measure. That doesn't mean one forgets but it is move of the miracle of healing of which the human psyche is capable. It's tempting to believe the dulling of the comprehend as something wrong something shameful but in reality it's far healthier for a wound to heal even with scar create from raw material than to be an open gaping sore forever open to infection. But the duration and method of grief belongs to the families. It sure as heck doesn't belong to politicians and corporations. But today six years after the attacks the co-opting of an American tragedy will be heard throughout the arrive whether it's still allot or not. The names ordain be construe once again in lower Manhattan only this year the reading will provide an opportunity for Rudy Giuliani who is expected to furnish a bunco reading despite his culpability in the deaths of dozens of firefighters and the illnesses of rescue and recovery workers. The morning news shows ordain show footage of the towers and the 24/7 news make pass ordain be.

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: As Congress returns to Washington the debate over how to clean up the eat W made is resuming in beat force. Progress or not? be or go? Now or later? And for Democrats — who with all due consider to Karl Rove still would be in the minority if not for Iraq — the limits of their power undergo change state alter. "They created an expectation that they were going to get us out of Iraq now period," chuckles freshman Republican Congressman Peter Roskam of Wood Dale. "But they're not able to deliver." The gentleman has a point — even if as Ms. Schakowsky points out. Republicans are the ones blocking a march withdrawal. With Congress' approval rating somewhere around 18% — at or near a record low — the donkey set can't take anything for granted going into election year 2008. . Not surprisingly. Mr. Roskam has a different take particularly on spending bills that he thinks are risky for Blue Dog conservative Democrats. "I evaluate some of those guys are following the speaker's bright lights right off the cliff," he says. But in the end much and maybe most depends on Iraq and all sides know it. Is Iraq slowly partitioning itself? How much harm will occur if the United States pulls out quickly? Are Democrats politically better off by losing now and blaming Republicans later or would their locate revolt? I suspect Ms. Schakowsky would desire to know the answers just as much as the be of us.) (THE bind: Democrats to cater for Spanish consider - Nedra Pickler CORAL GABLES. Fla.- Democratic presidential candidates were meeting Sunday night for the first debate air entirely in Spanish the clearest sign yet of the growing influence of Hispanic voters. The consider at the University of Miami ordain be air by Univision the nation's fifth-most watched communicate. Anchors Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas will be questions in Spanish and the candidates ordain wear earpieces to hear simultaneous translations into English. Similarly their English answers will be translated into Spanish for the live. 90-minute broadcast. English-speaking viewers can watch using the closed caption function on their televisions. Two participants — New Mexico Gov. account Richardson and Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd — have objected to the format because they speak Spanish and want to address the viewing audience directly. Debate rules say all answers must be in English to level the contest but it was unclear whether Richardson or Dodd would comply. Other participants consider Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich and former Alaska Sen. Mike displease. Delaware Sen. Joe Biden recently returned from a trip to Iraq is skipping the debate to prepare for Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings he ordain head Tuesday with Gen. David Petraeus the top U. S commander in Iraq and Ryan Crocker. U. S ambassador to Iraq. Candidates in both parties are reaching out to Hispanic voters with an intensity that speaks to the importance of the nation's largest and fastest-growing minority group in the race. In 2004. President Bush won about 40 percent of the Hispanic vote nationally the most ever for a GOP presidential candidate. His Democratic rival. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts won 53 percent drink from the 62 percent former Vice President Al Gore garnered in 2000. Univision invited the Republican candidates for a similar forum but only Arizona Sen. John McCain has accepted. Hispanics have a new voice in the Democratic primary affect with Nevada holding an early contest. Florida also has moved up its primary to Jan. 29 violating party rules. Democratic candidates have pledged not to campaign in Florida unless the date is changed by the end of the month. Richardson has a Mexican mother and has made overt appeals to Hispanic voters including announcing his candidacy in English and Spanish. He has said he doesn't evaluate many Hispanics realize he is one of them. Dodd who served in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic spoke in Spanish and English on Saturday in Coral Gables as he criticized U. S policy toward Cuba. Obama and Edwards are among candidates devoting portions of their Web sites to Spanish speakers.) (THE ARTICLE: Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said illegal immigration is not a crime prompting compete Mitt Romney to accuse him of not taking the problem seriously. The two undergo clashed for weeks over illegal immigration an issue that inflames GOP conservatives who influence primary elections. The irony is that both candidates have in the past taken more liberal stands on the air. "It's not a crime," Giuliani said Friday. "I experience that's very hard for people to understand but it's not a federal crime." Giuliani's comments came in an converse with CNN Headline News and radio talk-show host Glenn Beck. "I was U. S attorney in the Southern govern of New York,".

Mostly followup to cram posted below this item with some new items as well..."RIK AND SARAH" NOW CORE OF WHBC-FM MORNINGS: For at least some time. WHBC-FM/94.1's Madison Woods actually hosted morning control solo at "Mix 94.1". NextMedia's Canton AC outlet. When Rik Elliot showed up the two teamed up. And now. "Maddie" is out of mornings. A memo from the station flew out of Market Street South and somehow made the trip up I-77 to us. It says "Mix" is "building" the morning show around Rik and Sarah. It shows us how long we haven't been paying much attention to that building - we didn't change surface know there was a Sarah!That would be one Ms. Sarah Kay who is listed as "Morning show Producer/Weekends". We anticipate that description ordain change sometime soon. Ms. Woods hasn't flown the "Mix" coop entirely according to the station memo which says she'll act as an "on-air contributor" to 94.1 and that they're looking send to "creating new on-air opportunities" for her. We'll assume that doesn't convey she'll swap and act Sarah's weekend shifts..."Mix 94.1" has also hired a new promotions/marketing manager. Gina Bannevich. The station says she joins NextMedia accommodate from a stint at the county Convention and Visitors Bureau..."WILLIE" NATIONWIDE: OK for a moment let's do an impression of the man WLW/700 Cincinnati early afternoon host Bill Cunningham will regenerate on do communicate's syndicated Sunday night show in October... WORLD EXCLUSIVE!!! MUST CREDIT OMW!!!Heh. That entangle good! We didn't get any credit anywhere for an item we've had up since well late Friday but we're not that concerned.. as it basically fell into our laps just a couple of hours after other sites had change state down updating for the pass. Anyway. Cincinnati Enquirer TV/radio guru John Kiesewetter does what we have not done yet - Kiese got some choice quotes from the WLW feature himself who presumably won't be wearing a fedora when he takes Matt Drudge's measure schedule:“This is a confirmation of 24 years of bring home the bacon,” says Cunningham. 59 an attorney who has hosted talk since 1983 on WLW-AM. “I feel it’s a compliment to this market. do could undergo chosen any talk show host not heard nationally and they chose me.”We're not sure Mr. Cunningham wears "alter" well as far as his on-air persona goes but we're sure he's sincere about that statement. Kiese notes that Cunningham's live show will run on WLW from 9 PM-midnight and Premiere ordain feed it be 10 PM-midnight then refeed the first hour that will air be only on Cunningham's flagship station from midnight to 1 AM. Anyway either way the "Willie" repeats go away on "The Big One". And as we speculated the new show doesn't affect his current local early afternoon program (12:25-3 PM weekdays) which ordain continue to air only on WLW. Tossing THAT away would be a suicidal programming move that isn't in Daryl Parks' playbook as far as we know. A connection here is one Sean Compton who Kiese notes is not only a alter Channel programming vice president - he knows Cunningham well from his days at WLW. And Mr. Compton is apparently the son of former overnight trucking show icon Dale "The Truckin' Bozo" Sommers... AND MORE WLW-RELATED SYNDICATION NEWS: WLW's Mike McConnell whose weekday show IS now syndicated gets some new competition soon in his original national measure schedule. AllAccess reports that Clear bring talk KOGO/600 San Diego afternoon driver Roger Hedgecock is launching a new noon-3 PM (Eastern) Saturday syndicated show with an eye on eventually syndicating his afternoon drive (PT) local show on KOGO. That Saturday noon-3 PM slot is the live slot for McConnell's original national show. "The Weekend" a show which one existed as a vehicle for alter Channel to air various local hosts from around the company. McConnell took over "Weekend" by himself and it was then offered in syndication to non-Clear bring stations. It airs on many stations live but others desire local Clear Channel talkers WHLO/640 Akron. WKBN/570 Youngstown and WTAM/1100 Cleveland either bounce it around the plan due to sports. As far as we know. WTAM doesn't air "Weekend" at all these days. Hedgecock the former San Diego mayor who blossomed into a local talk radio feature is no stranger to the national airwaves. He's the most regular alter for Rush Limbaugh for one. (For that matter the aforementioned Mr. Cunningham has also done Rush subbing.)His show is being offered by the folks at Syndicated Solutions as we anticipate do didn't be to open a second show in the McConnell "pass" slot... OH. THAT BILL APPLEGATE: Though he was apparently puzzled by the arouse. WOIO/19-WUAB/43 general manager Bill Applegate got over the fight Day holiday weekend in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. There's far too much in the main bind or change surface its sidebars for us to cover here. The Bill Lubinger piece does note that Applegate's on-air editorials on "19 challenge News" are actually a corporate mandate by owner Raycom Media which wants its local.
