mySpot | A Deadly Mistake

We all know and have witnessed the death of a very important person for the whole Filipinos. Former President Cory Aquino died last August 1, 2009 after her long battle with colon cancer.

One of the roles of the media is to keep the people updated with all the latest happenings and events with this event. Whether written or in radio and tv telecast, their role is to give us information.

However, in some circumstances, mistakes are unavoidable so they have to be careful in giving information. Like last August 6 where a news paper released in frontpage a photo of Pres. Cory Aquino's coffin being brought out of Manila Cathedral. But look carefully and read the caption below the phote. I believe the name mentioned is still alive and was able to pay her respect for Pres. Cory Aquino.

Well, while watching the TV broadcast, I noticed some media reporters being confused with the person's name. Hmm.. Maybe is it because of the 'A' which makes them confused??? But for the newspaper, I'm not sure what kind of excuse they might have. Before publishing newspapers, I believe the contents undergoes several stages like proofreading, copyrighting etc. whatever it maybe... Kung sa bata pa iyan, sasabihin ng bata na 'lagot kayo'.

But that is just a mistake. Like we always say and hear, nobody is perfect, "except for the lunch table cast.. " Lolz! It was just a mistake that happened because the people behind these are busy working so fast that they need to publish this asap. I don't know... Just don't let this happen again.. This is like the 'I am the dog who leave you' version in youtube from Beyonce's Listen.

Till here! Ciao.
