Impeachment trial coverage
Barely two weeks are left before the resumption of the Senate impeachment trial for Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Credit is due to news organizations who have been covering the trial since it started on Jan. 16. They have kept the Filipino public informed and up-to-date with the trial’s proceedings.
Included among those news organizations is Solar News, which injects a new breed of news broadcasting fit for the Filipino audience.
The impeachment trial coverage of Solar News features a blow-by-blow account of the proceedings, coupled with a conscientious and detailed analysis of the trial’s daily grind from the network’s pool of competent resource persons.
Solar News showcases a pioneering philosophy of storytelling, which maximizes the potential of a digital file-based newsgathering system, state-of-the-art graphics, and an end-to-end high definition system that narrates the story to the entire archipelago. The latest broadcast organization in the country is streamlined by a perfect balance of experienced news personalities and a team of young dedicated journalists.
Televised on TalkTV, Solar News has set its sight on becoming the number one source of relevant and up-to-date information from the Chief Justice’s impeachment trial. The goal is for the news network to deliver its broadcast with a local flavor and at the same time keep their viewers well-informed and as engaged as possible. It is significant to note that the special news coverage of the trial has been airing alongside the most respected programs in the world such as Inside Edition, NBC Nightly News, Anderson and The Today Show.
As part of their commitment in keeping their viewers informed and up-to-date, a one hour special on the highlights of the Solar News coverage of the impeachment trial will be hosted by chief political correspondent Pia Hontiveros-Pagkalinawan on May 4, Friday at exactly 2 p.m. The hour-long show will feature interviews from President Benigno Aquino III himself, and former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada. Soundbytes from Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Ret. Justice Serafin Cuevas, Representatives Neil Tupas and Rudolf Farinas, Customs Commissioner Kim Henares and other impeachment personalities will be highlighted as well.
Hontiveros-Pagkalinawan will be joined by the trial’s main protagonists themselves, including Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, House Chief Prosecutor Tupas, and Defense Chief Counsel Cuevas. A financial analyst has also been invited to discuss the effect of the trial to the economy. While other political analysts are also expected to take part on the show to tackle the quasi-legal, quasi-political exercise which might also affect the 2013 elections. It is expected, if not ideal, that the votes of the senator-judges will not be dictated by party affiliations and political plans. But will this actually hold true?
It is really best to leave the educated speculations and scenarios to the political minds of our guest analysts.
From the hour long-special to the resumption of the proceedings, up until the senator-judges vote on the fate of the chief magistrate, make sure you are tuned-in to Solar News!
The Solar News Special will have replays on May 5 (Saturday) 10 p.m.; May 6 (Sunday) 8 p.m.; and, May 7 (Monday) 11a.m.
The Corona Impeachment trial will air Monday to Thursday from 1 to 6 p.m.
TalkTV is on Ch. 16 on SkyCable, Ch.28 on Destiny and Ch. 21 on Cignal and Ch. 12 on Cable Link.
Stars pitch for Visit Daet Year
Hermes Alegre paints Daet First Lady Connie Sarion
Stars in the country’s entertainment and art world made a common pitch in promoting Daet, capital town of Camarines Norte, during the road show for recent launch of the Visit Daet Year 2012.
The variety show, hosted by Bing Pimentel and Bobby Yan, featured celebrities which trace their roots to the town such as prized scriptwriter Ricky Lee, former basketball hotshot Fortunato “Atoy” Co, and award-winning actor-director Jun Urbano.
Using his alter ego Mr. Shooli of the Mongolian Barbecue TV fame, Urbano relived the wit of his political satire, while Marissa Sanchez, adopted daughter of the town tickled the crowd with her impersonation and singing prowess.
Theater actor-singer John Arcilla rendered special numbers from well-loved Broadway musicals.
The show also included a sketching session of the tourist icons and landmarks of the area featuring noted visual artist Hermes Alegre.
The road show also featured an investment forum on potential business ventures in the municipality which includes a multi-million dollar submarine fiber optic project by telecommunications giant PLDT.
Gawad Kalinga founding president Tony Meloto also revealed that GK will build its second “Enchanted Village” in the town which will feature integrated social enterprises and micro-businesses for the communities.
Mayor Tito Sarion said the Visit Daet Year is an opportunity to showcase the town as a tourism and investment haven because of its natural charm and business-friendly environment.
He said that the year-round celebration will feature cultural, sports, business and socio-civic events to highlight the town’s stride to progress. Celebrities with roots to Daet and Camarines Norte will also be gracing entertainment and musical shows.
A major event in the homecoming year is the weeklong Pinyasan Festival set in June to mark the founding day of Daet and the Feast of St. John the Baptist. The festivity, a brainchild of Sarion who was then a Municipal Councilor, is inspired by the Formosa or queen variety of the pineapple, the smallest yet sweetest of its kind.
Situated some 300 kilometers south of Manila, Daet is known for Bagasbas Beach, birthplace of the sport of surfing in the country, and now regarded as one of the best areas for kiteboarding having hosted the prestigious Kiteboard Tour Asia tournament.
It is also home to Rizal’s Bantayog, the First Monument of Dr. Jose Rizal which was built on Dec. 30, 1898, two years after his execution at Bagumbayan.
Daet is also the gateway and hub to the various tourist magnets of Camarines Norte such as the island beaches of Calaguas and Siete Pecados, waterfalls, spring resorts, Spanish colonial churches, and the Bicol National Park.
The launch was a joint undertaking of the Municipal Government of Daet, the Department of Tourism-Region V, and the Metro Daet Development Foundation Inc., the Metro Manila association of Camarines Norte residents.
