Is news supposed to be like that – that day in day out, the so-called rape case is THE NEWS? As far as readership is concerned – Internet or not - the date attached to the news is part of the news – not foreign to it.
Isn't this an advertisement against Eli Soriano? If it's not, why is it treated as daily fare that never goes away and it is only the date that changes?
Why is the name of Daniel Veridiano, aka Puto, changed to Daniel Pedriano this time, and his alias dropped? Were there second thoughts that perhaps putting the name of this former Ang Dating Daan member, excommunicated for cause by Eli Soriano, will also subject him to public humiliation? Is there hope that finally he knows how to be ashamed?
Despite these changes, and the nature of this piece of “news,” why does Wikipedia attach much credibility to this polluted source? This so-called rape news has become the second paragraph - inserted months ago- in the biopage of Eli Soriano in Wikipedia, if you didn’t know. Puto or Daniel Veridiano used to chair the Happy Christians gay group in Ang Dating Daan before he was excommunicated and afterwards left for the Iglesia ni Cristo, a powerful religious group in the
If there is a case filed, does it mean the one charged is guilty? How much of it is truth already that it merits to be placed in an encyclopedia page? Unless proven guilty, one is presumed innocent; therefore a case being filed against somebody is not pertinent to one's story. An enemy can file against you, case after case, but it doesn’t make you already guilty with each case. But why, of all sources, did an encyclopedia honor this? According to Moriori of Wikipedia, it is because Soriano is a controversial figure. Granted, because this man carries with him great understanding of the Bible incomparable to no other man today, the very reason why he gathers enemies from those he tries to correct.
If this is news however, where is the reporter's name that he or she could stand by what was written there? How responsible was the data collection? Was Soriano ever asked about his side? Did the reporter find out about the rape cases filed earlier against Daniel Veridiano by members of Soriano’s group?
How much effort did the reporter exert in knowing about the background of this case, such as that this case was dismissed but re-filed by the Department of Justice through Sec. Raul M. Gonzalez?
Again, if a case is filed, is it open for discussion?
And why are Globe, Touch Mobile, Smart, Talk n' Text, Sun and Addict involved here? How powerful can one get!
If you are a trained writer and you know your structure principles and how news should be treated, you would know right away that this piece of "news" was only intended to ruin somebody. Foremost, it lacks pertinent information and plays with its data.
To add insult to injury, the notice, after the “news” says –

Today, ABS-CBN Interactive deleted their page about Soriano. It is not there anymore. Wikipedia was duly notified through Moriori about this. However, Wikipedia placed another reference. That shall be treated in another forum.
