^^I think that’s a very good observation.

The principalia cannot solely dictate which issues to play up or which to ignore. The so-called elite is only elite to the other bloggers – they are just as nameless and faceless to the ordinary internet user.

I’d say semi-feudal. The middle-class dominated blogosphere is a clear sign of it.

And my comment isn’t tasteless. You just see it like they do, compartmentalizing their own lifestyles out and away and well-insulated from the rest of this nation. Besides, what is being tasteless or rude compared to being hypocrites.

Dudes now I understand the hate directed towards me. I just assumed it was because of my little clash with ade (the whistleblower in this case) and his friends. No, when I wrote, Welcome to the Philippines, I didn’t mean fuhgettabouddit. I meant, welcome to the everyday struggle most Filipinos endure. God, some people don’t read the entire comment no matter how short and most of my comments are short.

This case, I think, will prove to be the test for the integrity of the blogosphere’s collective voice. Will we be able to follow-through on this? If class is not the issue, will we then start taking a critical eye to every issue regardless of who is involved?

If the Cris Mendez is the template, you’ll know how this will end. The blogosphere had its chance before, and it remains to be seen if the bloggers have learned anything at all from that issue.

Why not argue that the viral nature of the news was brought about not because it a middle class issue but because of the stickiness of the incident itself? Bullying and arrogance are universal hates in whatever incarnation, especially if its from the politicos. Also, it maybe because of how the story was told, the details of which and the emotions underlying all this really hits home. Put that in any medium and we can bet on any person’s reaction. At least that was what I was thinking when I passed it on.
