So President Arroyo calls media a “bad boy”, chastising it for reporting only the losers. If media’s a bad boy, then the pinoy blogosphere is the deranged problem child chained and locked in the basement. We can obsess over issues that are worth only a few minutes. We don’t run out of pages, and we’re on pretty much 24/7. At the same time, we don’t have editors, no guilds to enforce a code of ethics.
There are thousands of Pinoy blogs out there by now. Are we all bound to be the government’s bad boys and girls?

Maybe instead of resorting to sleazebag tactics and legal strong-arming, companies, politicians, and individuals should follow these practical steps to avoid being blog-bashed.
1. Create quality products and services.
2. Sell what you advertise.
3. Make certain your products and services do what they claim to do.
4. Fully test and study your products and services before offering them
for sale.
5. Disclose all risks posed to purchasers of your products and services.
6. Tell the truth.
7. Fulfill your warranty promises.
8. Don’t cut corners.
9. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
10. Don’t try to buy influence.

From Yuga, I catch this blogging first: legal action against a blog (Don’t panic, it was only a matter of time). A QC RTC has ordered the PCIJto remove a blog post.
We’ll try to get more details before the necessary legal analysis and commentary.
Just one more thing before I sign off. I wasn’t aware of this article, wasn’t aware of the issue or Mr. Tiongco before this TRO. Now, online buzz on the matter will re-spawn and iterate. Talk about backfire.
Two words, ladies and gentlemen. Google Cache :).
