Mocha Uson Blog's Repost Manipulates Rather Than Educate

-
So, last October 3, Mocha Uson Blog posted this:
At first view it may appear that ABS-CBN purposely changed the brightness of the picture to say that most of the crowd are in black to show solidarity against textrajudicial killings/human rights violations. "CTTO" is indicated in the post but still, the page posted this on their site.

If you watched the game, you already know that the Ateneo Blue Eagles wore black but the Green Archers were in green. Most of the people were in school colors and only a few wore black in the crowd. Look at the original post of ABS-CBN here:
This is the orginal text: "LOOK: As an expression of solidarity with the victims of human rights violations, members of Ateneo de Manila University are seen wearing black shirts during their basketball match against De La Salle University. Meanwhile, the Green Archers are in their usual green uniform. (Photo by Camille Naredo, ABS-CBN News)"

 There is nothing in the text that indicated the colors of the shirt of the crowd. 

 Upon closer inspection, the original picture was cropped to show focus on the crowd rather than the players who were the subject of the caption.

 Whoever made the manipulative post was definitely for that, manipulating, trying to point at others while doing the actual crime. If you have a Facebook Page, or whatever social media account, posting "CTTO" does not absolve you from whatever wrong the post may have. It would point to you as the person who posted it. Based on that, Mocha Uson may have not made the picture but the intention is there.

 Just always be vigilant in posting, reposting. Try to check the original source if available, don't just believe memes because they are memes. They are so easy to edit and manipulate. Read. It wouldn't hurt. Promise.

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian .
