Julius Babao clarifies role of journalist: “hindi namin obligasyong magpaligaya ng taong ibinabalita namin”

News anchor and reporter Julius Babao reacted to the line of questioning made by lawmakers during the hearing of ABS-CBN franchise renewal. There were questions about PR approaching journalists and ‘spin doctors.’

On his Twitter account, Julius made it clear that it is not an obligation of journalists to make the subject of their news happy. Julius added that journalist is different from PR practitioners.

“Gusto ko lang linawin sa mga kabataan na ang mga journalist ay hindi PR practioners. Trabaho naming maging patas sa pagbabalita pero hindi namin obligasyong magpaligaya ng taong ibinabalita namin.”

In a separate tweet, Julius also said the issues hurdled against ABS-CBN can be fixed, but 11,000 workers losing their jobs during the pandemic is unacceptable.

“Lahat ng mga issues na lumalabas laban sa ABS-CBN ay pwedeng solusyunan ng mga bagong patakaran at pag-uusap pero ang pagkawala ng hanapbuhay ng 11,000 na manggagawa sa panahon ng pandemya ay hindi talaga katanggap-tanggap.”
