News report in the Philippines, for me is very
sensational and sometimes fun to watch.
Like other countries, news report here
often show dead body. Today's TV news, often show a suspect being shoot dead. This kind of news come with quite sensational pictures.
In Japan, TV news does not show dead body
and also media is usually not able to shoot these. Audience can see only blue
plastic sheet covered area where the incident happened. If someone died in the murder case or accident, at
the most, body bag appear in our TV News.
I got used to Japanese reporting style. At
the very first time, it was quite shocking to watch these seines even it is News
show.
Reporting style here made me sometimes
laugh. On the other day, there was the news: young guy peeped girl's skirt or
did secretly shoot the video (I forgot detail). It is very serious matter for
victims. And of course, as a female, I was angry with this kind of crime!
But I laughed at that. What made me laugh? The
reporter went to the police station and asked a suspect the reason why he did
that.
The reporter goes to places where these
suspects are kept and directly interview them. That is quite surprising for me
because I have never seen such a scene in my country. In Japan, we see suspect
only the time s/he was convoyed by police and their face is covered.
In the Philippines, before suspects are
sentenced, it seems they are already socially punished. Is it part of cultural difference?
