MOBILE PHONE companies are the FIRST ONES who should be probed for the spread of hoax text messages saying the Philippines will be affected by radiation from the nuclear reactor explosions in Japan.
First and foremost, they sold the mobile phones and sim cards being used by pranksters. They have a record of all their buyers, or the distributor or dealer who sold the phone or sim cards.
Hoax text messages AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOW every time there is a an event as big as the Japan quake.
Pero MAYROON NA BANG NAHULI, kahit isa, sa mga nanloloko? Mayroon na ba kayong nabalitaang naparusahan, kundi man nakasuhan?
Have you ever read or heard of even ONE SERIOUS, NON-STOP effort by ALL the mobile phone companies to identify and apprehend pranksters? I have not. And I will be happy to correct myself if I have to.
Second, it’s the mobile phone companies WHO WILL BENEFIT, or should I say EARN, THE MOST with hoax chain text messages.
Simple lang. Sa chain text, TULOY-TULOY ang pasahan ng text. Dahil tuloy-tuloy, non-stop din ang PASOK NG PERA sa mga mobile phone companies, ng WALA silang kahirap-hirap.
Consider this, guys: a GREATER MAJORITY of us 80 million or so Filipinos own or use mobile phones. So even if only 5 percent pass along a prank text imagine HOW MANY MILLIONS would that be in just A FEW SECONDS for the mobile phone companies.
I’m ruling out anti-government groups in this nuke fallout hoax.
Sentido kumon na lang, HINDI MAUUGA ang Administrrasyong Aquino sa pangyayaring ito dahil HINDI NAMAN NILA KASALANAN.
Lastly, prank text messages spread like wildfire once it starts. As if there is a data bank of numbers on standby for pranksters. Only mobile phone companies have a COMPLETE list of numbers CURRENTLY IIN USE.

Four of our friends on “Let’s help catch nuke fallout pranksters”:
SWAYNE CUNANAN of Cavite:
Excuse me po, Mr. A. Yung direction po ba ng wind hindi nagbabago? For me kasi, if we're going to be affected, wala tayong magagawa, short of hiding in bunkers (which we don't have) until it's all over. Airborne yun eh. Kahit na mag-overdose tayo ng meds na ibibigay ng DOH. Anyway, hindi naman magmamanifest agad yung effect, if ever there is, di ba?
RAFAEL GOMEZ of Makati City:
Mr. Antonio tanong ko lang, SINO ba sa palagay mo ang lubos na NAKIKINABANG sa chain text na iyan? Di ba kapag merong big news na katulad ng sa Japan, merong kumakalat na ganiyang klaseng text?
CAS MAYOR of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia:
I agree that the public listen only to the right authorities regarding any rumors about Japan's nuke fallout reaching the Philippines.
EGAY MONTANA, a former colleague at Philippine Journalists Inc.:
I’ve read your blog. You’re right. 30
My house is 10 kilometres away from our Nuclear Power Plant east of Toronto, in Canada. Our schools have always given us notices in case of Nuclear scenarios. We do not have bunkers here, what we have are Iodine capsules to be taken in the event of a radiation fallout, children first, then adults. we may be evacuated in one call if it is needed. So be it, we chose this place, our government is ready for this if ever. If not, then God be with us then.
ReplyDeleteBut spreading false texts is so insensitive and so irresponsible. They are like barking dogs from nowhere. Mag-isip muna bago manloko, o talagang loko-loko. That is my opinion.
Anton of Toronto
nakakahiya mga FILIPINOS dito sa atin dahil sa ginagawang pamamalakad ng japanese government sa mga tao dun at napaka well disciplined, kung sana naumpisahan tayo sa mas maganda nuon ay hindi sana mangyayari lahat ng pamimintas dito sa atin. Kaya yang mga text na yan totoo na aksayado sa load ng walang katuturan, pero sa isang banda nakainam din dahil nagkakaroon ng communication sa ibang bansa.
