You can read the Financial Report this quarter here - https://edge.pse.com.ph/financialReports/form.do

This explains the rerun of shows (First Yaya and Maria Clara at Ibarra). But then, it is a cycle - audience does not see good/fresh content in free TV so they will go online and they will never to return to free TV. Ratings will go down so less ads, less budget for shows then GMA will choose to rerun then the cycle repeats. I notice this trend every December. Konti na lang bumabalik na audience after Christmas break.

The network seems passive about this. It seems they do not have a long-term plan. Probably, they will just wait for the death of free TV. I also do not see any strategy being implemented to improve their online presence to counter the declining audience in free TV. Kung meron man, hindi ramdam.

In terms of cost, they need to start cutting the pay of their executives. Hindi na siya justified given current market conditions. Also, stop giving exclusive contracts na except for a select few - Marian, Dingdong, Michael V, Dennis, Jennylyn, Alden, Barbie, Julie (voice of GMA) and News and Public Affairs personalities. This is an employer's market na. Hindi na pwede magdrama ang mga startlet na lilipat ng kabilang bakod kung walang guaranteed contract. Also, hindi na rin siya assurance na if sikat ang bida, magre-rate ang show. Nasa execution pa rin. Example Taskforce Firewall and Bolera ni Kylie dati. Hindi naman A-lister si Kylie but astig pagkagawa ng show so benta sa audience.

What if sumali si Jana sa Collab 2.0? Naging Jana-Heath kaya ang nalayag na loveteam dahil sila ang bunso?

Based on her fandom's post, they are looking for Team Live/Labas so I think she will be joining the new season. Hindi papatalo ang Star Magic so they want the same level of popularity ni Caprice now for their own talent and probably, Jana is the chosen one. I am not sure about the regular edition for 3.0, probably, it will be combined celeb + regular HMs. Baka ipasok ni Sparkle ang galing Campus cuties here.

What do you think?

So GMA already aired 2 special documentaries

1. Broken Roads, Broken Promises (Infrastructure) - Dingdong Dantes

2. Rebuilding Broken Rooms (Education) - Alden Richards

They should continue it but dapat may journalist na partner to add credibility. The artist is there for media mileage.

Wishlist ko:

1. Children in Conflict with the Law - Marian Rivera

2. Healthcare - Rocco Nacino

3. OFW/Brain Drain - Michael V

4. Indigenous People's Rights - Dennis Trillo

5. Housing - Jennylyn Mercado

6. Women's Rights - Barbie Forteza

7. Agrarian Reform - Ruru Madrid

8. Agriculture - Bea Alonzo

9. Industry/Labor Issues - David Licauco

10. Public Transportation - Miguel Tanfelix

11. Water Scarcity/Dams- Kelvin Miranda

12. Disaster Response - Bianca Umali

13. Animal Welfare - Carla Abellana

14. Preserving Local Arts and Crafts - Heart Evangelista

15. Tourism Issues - Julie Anne San Jose

Grabe, tagos sa puso ang lyrics. This is is Heath's first composition daw, di siya kasama dun sa tinugtog niya sa loob ng BNK.

If you are in LDR, this song is for you. Marami na rin akong nakikitang edits ng Kdrama using this song and it is so bagay na maging OST.

Anyways, Heath's EP is out now. Stream sa lahat ng platforms.

Parang ang tagal na di siya visible sa TV. Halata talaga favoritism ng Sparkle. Sobrang talented ni Ashley para sayangin nila. Kahit guesting sa existing TV shows, wala rin? Tapos di ko rin sila nakita magbonding nina Marco and Heath na close iya sa loob.

As the media organization with the widest reach in the country and arguably, the most profitable media company, more often than not, GMA just follows trends instead of dictating it. Mapapakamot ng ulo ka na lang talaga. They even tap content creators to join their teleseryes for these shows to have more clout while there are only a handful of GMA artists who became popular online and kadalasan, sariling sikap pa nila or dahil sa collab with ABS like PBB. Once these artists become popular, they milk it until the last drop but they do not contribute in sustaining the hype of these artists.

In the last 5 years ilan ba ang napasikat nila na

1. Artists na naging household names (I would count David Licauco due to MCAI, PBB Collab 1 and 2 HMs)

2. Singers and hit songs?

3. Dancers and dance trends?

4. Memes and other Pop culture stuff (probably Kara David's Pinasarap and IWitness narrations)

5. Series and movies na iconic (probably only Maria Clara at Ibarra)

Why kaya? Is it a general lack of creativity sa mga execs nila? I would argue na hindi kailangan ng malaking budget to improve their soft power. Kaya nga ng small content creators. Kahit nga hindi original pero maganda execution, people would consume it. Something their stockholders and executives need to think about. Hindi yung nagbobolahan na lang sa annual stockholders meeting ng financial results and reach na hindi naman sustainable long-term if walang bago na inoofer ang network.

For Grade 1-2 medyo ok pa pero yung susunod na grades, ang kalat.

Example, bakit nilagay sa T1 ang area? Sa Grade2, multiplication of 2,3,4,5,10 pa lang natutunan ng learners. Yung 6,7,8,9 sa Grade3 pa T2/T3. Dapat nilagay na lang kasunod ng multiplication para buo na ang multiplication table.

Also, stretched masiyado ang geometry. Dati naman, isang quarter lang lahat ng volume and surface area. Ngayon, prism and cube sa Grade6, cylinder sa Grade7, cone sa Grade8. E pareho lang concept niyan. Yung formula ng volume ng cylinder multiply ng 1/3 yun na volume ng cone. Ganun din sa regular pyramid, 1/3 ng prism.

Yung GenMath sa Grade 11 din, nagdiscuss na kaagad ng calculation ng salary and tax, wala pang introduction ng piecewise function. Ito yung perfect example ng piecewise. Dapat magkasunod sila.

Tapos patalon-talon ng topics between algebra, geometry, statistics na wala namang relation with each other. Kaya madalas napuputol ang mga algebra topics na dapat magkasunod ituro, same din sa geometry.

Tapos dapat ilagay ang mga application kadunod ng arithmetic/algebra. Like conversion of temperature, dapat after operations on fractions. Conversion of units ng metric system sa multiply/divide ng 1000, 1M etc. Di ko talaga gets ang Deped. May mga magandang curriculum naman like sa Singapore na pwede nila sundan. Gagawa talaga sila ng sarili tapos hindi maayos.

Currently, if 15 or below or 15-18 pero walang discernment, they are not criminally liable and they will just undergo rehabilitation with Bahay Pag-asa but once they age out, wala na. May civil liability lang ang parents but that's it.

Dahil ang mga teachers po ang araw-araw na nakakasalamuha ng mga students and you observe them growing up, I think it is best na manggaling din sa inyo ang recommendation. Based on your observation and experience, anong age nagiging fully aware ang mga bata ng consequences ng kanilang actions? Of course, iba-iba ang mga bata at iba-iba ang kanilang family background, economic status, intelligence/disability, pero the question is on average, ano yung recommended age for criminal liability especially those na nagcommit ng crimes like murder and r*pe.

Lugi na ba talaga kaya replay ulit ang 3rd slot ng primetime? Or hindi naman nakapaghanda ang management sa ipapalit sa Hotel88? Di ba dapat ang Siargao series papalit dito kasi streaming na sa Viu? Anong nangyari?

​

Ang daming tenggang artists na walang show. Pwede naman sila gumawa. Yung Asawa ng Asawa Ko dati sobrang taas ng ratings kahit 3rd slot.

​

Kapag replay or movie ipalabas, mawawala ang audience for that timeslot and di na sila bumabalik. Tapos magtataka sila why they are losing viewers.

​

Wala bang nakaisip na gawan sila ng prod? Big Winner and 2nd placer ng edition nila. Last few weeks of Hotel88 yata and premier ng YMFS na next week.

Kung hindi pwede Alden/Nadine with Heath/Caprice for promo ng YMFS and Siargao. Mag-ama x Mag-ina.

Daming material na pwede gawin ng AOS team if nag-iisip lang sila.

Di ko gets bakit ginagawang complicated ng Deped ang lahat. Master teachers lang dapat ang may limited items and ranking dahil best of the best dapat to.

My suggestion:

Dapat may points system na lang for transparency.

A. Years of service /Performance (every year)

2 pts for outstanding

1.5 pts for very satisfactory

1 pt for satisfactory

0.5 pts for below satisfactory

0 for those na may serious issues

B. Education

MA degree (maximum of 10 pts)

PhD degree (maximum of 20 pts)

C. Additional pts for extraordinary work (research, award, innovation, coach ng winning students etc). - may guidelines lang dapat

For every 10 points, the teacher will be promoted.

Total points (can be adjusted din):

0-9 T1

10-19 T2

20-29 T3

30-39 T4

40-49 T5

50-59 T6

>=60 T7

So if ang teacher di nag-aral and satisfactory naman ang rating, after 10 years, T2 na siya (10 x 1 pt). If outstanding siya parati, 5 years lang (5 x 2 pts). Hindi na nila kailangan mag-apply. Mas mabilis ang promotion if mag-aral or may extraordinary achievement. If magretire ang teacher after 20+ years of service na S lang parati ang rating, T3 siya. If 30+, T4.

What do you think?

I think kaya pang magpeak nina Mike Tan and Beauty Gonzalez. Pero dapat romcom like Be Careful with my Heart. Funny naman si Beauty so dapat ganun ang role niya - clumsy, kalog na may pagka-g*g*. Tapos package Mike as oppa. Maraming mas naka-appreciate sa looks niya ngayon na daddy na siya.

Sa ginawang law (RA 11476), obliged ang Deped to give same time allotment sa GMRC/VE with other major subjects. Ito ang reason bakit compressed ang time sa ibang subjects (ginawang 45min daily instead of 4h per week) para maging 30h/week pa rin ang pasok ng students para pwede pa rin ang double shift.

Upon reading the curriculum guide, paulit-ulit lang talaga ang topics and kaya siya ituro ng 2h per week sa high school and 30min daily sa elementary. For me, sayang lang ang sobrang time na pwede ibigay sa ibang subjects.

Ano po sa tingin niyo?

Only four subjects per day for 1.5 hours each (so longer time to do practice exercises in Math or conduct science experiments or finish project in TLE or practice dance/play sport in PE)

Grade 7-10:

Monday/Wednesday ("A" days): English, Math, AP, MAPEH

Tuesday/Thursday ("B" days): Filipino, Science, VE, TLE

Grade 11:

Monday/Wednesday ("A" days): Effective Communication, Gen Math, Kasaysayan

Tuesday/Thursday ("B" days): Mabisang Komunikasyon, Gen Science, Life Skills

Elective - Daily

Grade 12: 4 electives - Daily

Friday is Flexible. In the event of holiday/class suspension during the first four days of the week, it can be either A or B day. Kung wala naman, all subjects will meet for 45min. Ideal for giving assessments. Pwede ring catchup Friday, slow learners will have reading/math sessions while advanced students will be given enrichment activities.

Teacher loading:

Without advisory - 8 sections, 4 sections per day, 6 hours teaching load

With advisory - 6 sections, 3 sections per day, 4.5 hours teaching load + 1 hr advisory

Dahil, three term na ang school calendar moving forward, kailangan ayusin ang hati to fit the three terms.

1. Spiral curriculum should be only until Grade 8 especially for Math and Science.

Grade9: Integrated Math I (Algebra and Geometry), Biology

Grade 10: Integrated Math 2 (Algebra and Trigonometry), Chemistry

Grade 11: Integrated Math 3 (Functions, Business Math, and Statistics), Physics

2. Reorganize HS social studies

Grade 7: World History 1 (Ancient History - Renaissance), also include World Geography, religions

Grade 8: World History 2 (Enlightenment - Current), include Human Geography(migration patterns etc)

Grade 9: Economics

Grade 10: Social Sciences (Psychology, Socio-Anthro, Political Science) - 1 term each

Grade 11: Philippine History and Contemporary Issues (use the knowledge learned from previous years for critical analysis of history and discussion of contemporary issues)

3. Revamp Music & Arts. Just call it Arts.

Instead of teaching them separately, we separate it by term.

T1 - Music

T2 - Visual Arts

T3 - Performing Arts such as drama/theater/dance

MAPEH should be taught in 2 sessions for 2 hours each - 1 for Arts and 1 for PE & Health. Maganda rin to pangfill ng period ng ibang subjects na 4x a week lang tinuturo. Example: 7:30-9:30 AM period, 2 academic subjects 4x a week then may isang araw for PE & Health. Sa 10:00-12NN naman, ganun din, 2 academic subjects 4x a week plus 1 day for Music&Arts. Iba-ibang section ang hahawakan ng MAPEH teacher per day.

4. Reduce GMRC/VE again to half credit (2x per week lang pero 1 session lang). Parang sobrang sayang ng time here. Or kung hindi man pwede, dagdagan ng other topics like citizenship education, career preparation, leadership training, personality development, conflict resolution etc.

Sample schedule:

Almost confirmed na after You're My Favorite Song na miniseries, maghihiwalay na sina Caprice and Heath sa teleserye. Si Caprice sa A Million Dreams sa drama sa hapon with Clifford tapos si Heath sa primetime with Ruru and Dennis. If gusto ng audience na mapanood sila together, need nila magbayad kasi mukhang sa movies na lang sila magsasama after. This is the same formula na ginawa kina Angel Locsin and Richard Gutierrez dati. Once lang sila nagsama sa teleserye, the rest movie na.

Masiyadong maluwag ang curriculum. Yung 2 subjects ng Bio, Chem, Physics, Earth Science ginawang apat. I think dapat 3 lang ang hati since three term na.

Also dapat may choice to either take General Math or Advanced Math sa Grade11. Also if kukuha ng higher science, pwedeng isubstitute sa GenSci. Hindi maging prepared ang STEM students sa college if watered down ang curriculum.

Di ko rin alam bakit 2 hr per week lang ang English/Filipino. Dapat 4hrs each na lang.

It has been 2 months na since lumabas ang Big 4 sa PBB. Yung picture nina Cap and Heath sa website nila, taken 3 years ago pa yata - totoy and nene pa sila dun. Simpleng bagay na manotice mo pero it reflects a deeper problem sa organization nila how they handle their talents. Website nga di maayos, how much more ang marketing and image, pati na pagcurate ng projects ng mga artists? Nakakaloka lang. Napaka underperforming nga mga tao mo, Ms. Annette.
