MARAMING hindi natuwa nang malaman na may programa pala ang China sa state-owned radio broadcasting station dito sa Pilipinas.
Ayon kay Senator Risa Hontiveros, siya ay ‘disturbed’ na may radio program, entitled ‘Wow China’ na umere sa Radyo Pilipinas 738, isang AM radio station sa ilalim ng Philippine Broadcasting Service.
Tanong niya, Pinoy ba ang nagbabayad para rito?
Am very disturbed that there is a radio program called “Wow China” that airs on Radyo Pilipinas 738, a state-owned AM radio station of the Philippine Broadcasting Svc under the Presidential Communications Operations Ofc.

“Filipino taxpayers should be indignant that we are essentially paying for a radio show that promotes China’s policies.”
“We have let Chinese propaganda reach our shores. Inaangkin na nga nila ang West Philippine Sea, pati ba naman ang radyo natin sa kanila na rin?” sabi ng senadora.
Her sentiments are echoed by a Pinoy netizens on social media.
Nakaka frustrate yung administration Digong. I'm sorry pero he failed us. China is taking over our islands, destroying natural resources, bullying our marines and fishermen, no mass testing, shuts down the biggest Philippine network and starts airing WOW CHINA to promote china 🇨🇳

“That’s part of the free marketplace of ideas, hayaan na po nating bumuo ng sariling opinyon ang ating mga kababayan diyan sa inereng advertisement na ‘yan o programa.” ani Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque tungkol sa mga pambabash ng netizens sa programang ito.
Dinerekta naman niya kay Communications Secretary at head ng Presidential Communications Operations Office Martin Andanar ang mga tanong tungkol dito.
Pero ng tanungin para sa kanyang comment, Andanar directed Inquirer.net to PBS Director Rizal Giovanni “Bong” Aportadera, Jr. na magbibigay daw ng statement ukol dito ngayong araw.
In a past issue, naging trending din ang pag-dislike ng maraming Pinoy sa ginawag music video ng Chinese Embassy entitled ‘Iisang Dagat’.
Sa ngayon meron na itong mahigit sa 213,000 dislikes kumpara sa 3,800 na likes nito sa Youtbe.
