We used to watch cartoons and our family also uses radio in those times listening about the good songs/news it has to offer.The media in the Philippines is somehow as corrupt as the government nowadays. Voting is done once every four years. The oligarchy ensures that they elected officials pay homage to them.Journalists and other press officials openly take bribes from the politicians.The elite are the owners of the media networks.Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.
