can someone help me translate this to tagalog?:
Like any country commercial and social interests influence media content in the Philippines. However,
Freedom of the press is still a relatively new concept having been established in 1987. Philippine media is very similar to media in America, but has many more risks. Since 2001, 33 media processionals have been killed in the line of duty.
Print media, specifically newspapers, have struggled in the Philippines. However, 42 titles are circulated daily through the Philippines ? this includes newspapers, magazine, and any other print media. In 1987 there were 22 papers in circulation. In 2001, that number was down to 8. The typical cost of a newspaper is between 5 to 15 pesos.
Many communities in the Philippines create weekly and monthly newspapers with very limited circulation. These papers are often tabloid style and written in English.
Unfortunately, the Philippines have inherited the American-style of journalism. Meaning that media is a business, rather than a duty to inform the public. Newspapers are not seen as a must-have item. The readership rates in the Philippines are low and could be the result of a lack of reading in the culture or the result of economic hardships faced by many.
Online news has emerged its face as media companies hope to generate a spark in public interest regarding print media. Four of the most popular news website in the Philippines are www.inquirer.net, www.philstar.com, www.gmanews.tv, and www.abc-cbnnews.com. These four papers also have leading daily broadsheets. GMA?s success was partially due to the rescue efforts set forth by the company following last year?s typhoons.
Just like American journalism, media and newspapers face many issues. Declining circulation and low readership has forced many networks to consider offering e-papers, or papers that customer?s have to pay to access on the internet. Despite the success of GMA Network?s website it was states that the network is still searching for a ?clear business or revenue model.?
On the bright side of things, Nielsen Media and Yahoo! Recently found that internet use in the Philippines has increased to 28.3% in 2008. That was up from 21% in 2006. This increase in use was not limited to any area ? it is the whole country and all age groups as well. This means that more people are accessing information and could mean there are better things to come for many media companies.
The only other group to post an increase in use was radio. It is estimated that there are 11,500,000 radio units in the Philippines. In 2004, there were 314 AM stations and 426 FM stations. The majority of these stations are being broadcast in Manila. The increase in use from 69 to 80% from 2006 to 2008.
The variety of stations in the Philippines is similar to that of America. AM stations cover a similar range of content to that of the United States.
One of the largest stations is Radio Mindanao Network. It was established in 1952 and began broadcasting in 1957. RMN owns 50 stations and is the 2nd largest network in the Philippines. RMN helped Philippine radio reach international standards through better programming and innovation. In 2007, RMN launched itself into the waves of HD Radio.
Hey Iām going to Manila tomorrow and Iāll be staying there for a week. So far I got to play a few decent players here in Baguio city. Theyāve improved since my last visitā¦that was 5 years ago lol. Too bad I have to leave so soon.
It is so sad that the third strike scene in manila died. I was one of the avid players in sm north. Now I have to shift to sf4. I tried playing like super turbo but the grabs own me. I just canāt see the timing. Still also having problems using ryu against sagat and abel. Sigh! it feels like im a noob again. Btw, whereās the sf4 cab located in sm moa?
just spam ryuās cr.mp all day against abel lol.
do you guys play on US accounts?
I mainly use a US account but I tried using a JP account today. The difference was pretty huge for me when using the custom match feature. I could always find an orange lag bar opponent every refresh and playing orange bar 95% of the time results in a very smooth and playable match. Using my US account, I get all reds and usually laggy and unjoinable (skipping) matches. Arcade request gives me consistent matches but its usually laggy and searching for matches on a JP account is faster. I have encountered some pinoy guys using my US account though so that was pretty cool.
Any of the SFIV arcade operators there planning to upgrade to super, anybody know?
My team is 3-0 in our SSFIV league so far. :karate:
^ no idea yet
I heard that one of the bigger arcade operators here doesnt want to upgrade to SSF4 since sales for SF4 were pretty abysmal. PH really seems to be more of a Tekken scene.
Hello there, I stumbled on this thread looking for a place to get some SF4 games in while Iām here in manilla/quezon city for the next two weeks. I guess megamall is the place to be for competition?
Iāll try and stop by there at some point, hope to play some of you. Also, I main Fuerte in case youāre wondering.
Peace!
Marco
um. is there still any good [not broken] mvc2 cabs left near makati area??? iāll be there between may 30 to june 3. whereās the best competition for mvc2 if thereās still any left.
For the best competition so far it will be in SM Mall of Asia (MOA). But you can still play at SM Makati in ground floor, food court area in WOF.
Yeah, SM Makati Foodcourt on afternoons usually yields good casuals.
Mega still has its MvC2 crew as well. As for the other places, it seems to gone.
Do visit the local SF4 boards. Aside from people in the arcades, the community is also open to console casuals and meetups:
Last I heard, the SF4 MOA is in the Timezone near Beard Papa (Canadian Cuisine if Iām not mistaken). You can always use the touchscreen map or ask a security guard or a lady in charge of the maps.
Does anyone have any information on the place formerly known as Gameroom HD? It seems like it closed down in March and reopened as Iplay or G-spot.
Are their hours still M-F 9am-9pm and Sat 9:30am-8:30 pm?
Do they still rent out PS3s at P48 per hour?
Do they rent out SSF4?
Are their PS3s connected to the internet for online play?
ok! itās confirmed, iām gonna be there [salcedo suites, makati] from may 31 - june 3. but i think iām gonna be tied-up 'cause iām primarily there to take the nclex, but iām gonna squeeze a little time in to play mvc2. iām going to try and make it to MOA if i can, definitely after the exam though.
Mega and Galle should be avoided for anyone who doesnāt want to waste Php5 just to watch themselves get juggled in Mag infinites and/or caught in Strider/Doom lockdown. :razz:
Also, on a somewhat related note, Iāve had luck finding people to play Guilt Gear XX against in both places as well.
!
:amazed::amazed::amazed:
mag resets > mag infinites and strider/doom lockdown is overrated IMHO.
