We all want facts that tell the truth! The Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph) highlights the importance of gathering accurate information and how celebrity culture plays a role in it.
00:00Because we both want facts that speak the truth, data that makes sense, information that can be useful.
00:15I'm Joanne Maglipon. I'm the editor-in-chief of PEP, which is the Philippine Entertainment Portal.
00:23We have always wanted to make entertainment writing legitimate journalism.
00:33And as with all journalism, then we must verify, we must research, we must confirm, we must update.
00:43We both want facts that speak the truth, data that makes sense, information that can be useful.
00:51And overall, we want a certain credibility attached to the material that we put out.
01:00So it's be one tama all over the place.
01:06Actually, I want to take it one step further.
01:10I know that we have been giving the correct data.
01:12I know that our exposés have been good because, in fact, we have been sued and harassed for some of the material that we have come out with.
01:23So sometimes we do a nine-part series or we do a limited series exposition of one controversy or another.
01:35That, we tell the truth, gets us into trouble.
01:38You know, what we have is a celebrity culture.
01:43The best way to come across with your ideas is to find the most popular, the big celebrities who have a following, who have credibility, who have the charisma.
01:57And these three hosts, Boy, Ding Dong, Chris, they fall under that category quite superbly.
02:07As science man, in nature, in showbiz, let's choose the truth, let's choose the facts.
02:14Let's choose the facts.
02:15Let's choose the fact that we're being punished while we're giving joy.
02:18I think they have to know that we old timers, we battle weary veterans, we're going to move on.
02:29But the ones who are going to be left behind are them.
02:32It's the youth that will be left with either a bad culture or a good one.
02:37I hope the youth understand that whatever we do now, in the last stages of our lives, we do for them.
