- Singer and Anti-Duterte Jim Paredes recently called out the attention of newscasters Noli de Castro and Ted Failon to react Dengvaxia.
- PGH doctors released their own report on the Dengvaxia’s deaths.
After the release of the report by the PGH doctors about Dengvaxia, singer and an anti-Duterte Jim Paredes called out the attention of famous newscasters Ted Failon and Noli de Castro.
The 66-year old singer-actor asked the Kapamilya newscasters to react to the report.
“To Noli De Castro and Ted Failon, What can you say about the PGH doctors’ report on DENGVAXIA?” Jim asked.
“Real honest newscasters do not encourage hysteria,” he added.
According to the report of the UP-PGH panel, the 14 deaths were linked to Dengvaxia, 3 were found to have a causal relation, meaning they died of dengue despite being vaccinated. Two of the 3 deaths may have been because of vaccine failure, said Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary Enrique Domingo.
Netizens react
“News reader lang naman sila. Hindi journalist.”
“Expect Noli De Castro and Ted Failon to say that UP-PGH experts are wrong or “are hiding something” because Persida is a better medical expert. And Persida is so kawawa, she only wants the best for Filipino children. *cue Senatorial ad jingle* 😆 #HuwagTanga”
“Now you know what we feel when your favorite journalists intentionally slant the news in your favor to fuel the agenda of a regime change. And all you have done during those times is to keep quiet about the truth and justify their actions! #StopTheHypocrisy”
“Excuse me po…(sabay ubo)…Yan po ang tinatawag na SENSEsunalized.. Aggravating your sense of hearing and feelin..ako i dont watch news na, just read the headlines below (tisers ba tawag sun) then I know whats going on na…#patweettweetnalang”
“To think, Tatay Digong hates the Lopez-led network. Maybe these news anchors would like to apply for a PTV 4 spot?”
“Tanong mo kay Noli kung ano nangyari sa isang malaking subdivision sa pampanga na maanomalya na naloko ang pagibig fund baka lang alam niya”
“Hope Noli/Ted will make a special report on this too. Para kapani-paniwala na balance reporting talaga sila! Isa pa yang PAO, si Chief kung maka react…over!”
In a media briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque noted the findings of the panel from the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) on the Dengvaxia case.
“Itong unang report po nila mukha namang makakahinga na tayo nang mas mabuti, mga nanay at tatay, dahil mukhang hindi po related sa Dengavaxia iyong katorse na naulat na namatay di-umano dahil diyan sa bakunang iyan,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said.
“Ibig sabihin, hindi gumana iyong Dengvaxia. Pero ‘yan po ay mabuting balita doon sa 830,000 na mga nanay/tatay na naa-abala at natatakot na baka may banta sa buhay ng kanilang mga anak,” Roque added.
The UP-PGH’s findings are in contrast with the alarming pronouncements of the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) that they saw a bleeding pattern in the autopsies they conducted on the 14 children.
Meanwhile, Ted and Noli have yet to release their statement about the issue.
