Boracay Summit Discusses HB No. 1109

Hon. Florencio T. Miraflores, Cong-ressman, Lone District of Aklan was the keynote speaker of the Boracay Summit sponsored jointly by the PAPI and Aklan Press Club. It was held in Boracay Regency, Boracay, Malay, Aklan on Sept. 7, 2008.
Miraflores discussed thoroughly his House Bill No. 1109 for better understanding and appreciation of its provisions. According to Miraflores, it is not true that the Bill was approved in the House of Representatives without any public hearing. He traced the history of the Bill which was originally filed in congress several years ago and it has undergone several public hearings. Miraflores also enumerated the benefits of the Bill for everybody if it is approved into law.
After his presentation, panel discussion followed. The panel was composed of Attorneys Ronquillo Tolentino, Selwyn Ibarreta, Stephens Arcenio and Allen S. Quimpo. /MP

What a poor piece of journalism this is. Rather than just waffling about who and where why not report on what the different viewpoints were in the discussion. Nobody needs the full address (...Boracay, Malay, Aklan) it just adds unnecessary noise that is of no interest whatsoever. How about reporting about the benefits that Milaflores enumerated? What are the concerns of those who accused of approval without public hearing?

Hello,

I agree with you Lenker.

This is the challenge to Aklanons who are blogging on the Internet to raise the level of writing. We have more insight about Pacquiao's status than about HB 1109. If that is intentional, it makes me think about your publication.
