PRESS RELEASE FROM ABS-CBN:
As the country prepares to welcome Pope Francis, the third pope to visit the Philippines, ABS-CBN will lead in spreading his message of mercy, compassion, and love to Filipinos whenever and wherever they are through its multi-platform coverage of the historic papal visit.
Through up-to-date reports and special features, ABS-CBN will deliver all the latest developments of the highly anticipated papal visit from January 16 to 20 on its news platforms on free and cable TV, radio, and online: ABS-CBN Channel 2, ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC), DZMM TeleRadyo, DZMM Radyo Patrol Sais Trenta, and their websites and social media accounts.
ABS-CBN, ANC, and DZMM will broadcast live all the Masses to be celebrated by Pope Francis at the Manila Cathedral (January 16), in Tacloban (January 17), and in Luneta (January 18). Aside from that, ABS-CBN will offer free public viewing of the Luneta Mass at Alabang Town Center, Glorietta, Trinoma, Fairview Terraces, Market Market, and Harbor Point in Metro Manila and in more than 50 locations nationwide.
No stone will be left unturned when ANC brings its wall-to-wall coverage of the historic visit with nonstop live updates from all the events beginning the morning of January 15, while DZMM will cover the papal visit starting at noon on January 16.
Boosting ABS-CBN's news coverage are the Pope Patrollers of citizen journalism arm “Bayan Mo, iPatrol Mo" who will be closely monitoring all the on-ground papal events in Manila and Tacloban. The Pope Patrollers will document the events as they unfold in photos and videos, which will capture the mood and emotions of the people during the five-day papal visit.
All of the Pope Patrollers’ works will be highlighted in special sections on ABS-CBNNews.com/PopeFrancisPH, which also houses all TV reports and interactive multimedia features about Pope Francis.
Filipinos on the go may also check all the latest papal visit-related developments on their mobile devices by watching ABS-CBN’s consolidated videos and features in the PopeTYSM (Pope Thank You Sa Malasakit) channel on iWanTV.com.ph or the iWanTV app using an ABS-CBNmobile SIM.
Filipinos abroad can also keep track of the latest developments of the papal visit via The Filipino Channel (TFC), which will air its special live coverage of the event from January 17 to 19 and a documentary titled “Pope Francis: In the Eyes of Four Filipinos,” which features four different members of the clergy who share a very special, albeit experience -- a rare interaction with the Holy See.
With Vatican Media correspondent Lynda Jumilla who is joining the papal flight, ABS-CBN’s “Thank You sa Malasakit: Pope Francis sa Pilipinas” coverage will be led by veteran broadcast journalists Noli de Castro, Korina Sanchez, Ted Failon, Tina Monzon-Palma, Karen Davila, Ces Drilon, Julius Babao, Alvin Elchico, Bernadette Sembrano, Henry Omaga Diaz, Vic Lima, Bro. Jun Banaag, Winnie Cordero, Ariel Ureta, TJ Manotoc, Ron Cruz, Coco Alcuaz, Gigi Grande, Karmina Constantino, and David Celdran.
Aside from tuning in to ABS-CBN’s papal visit news coverage, join its PopeTYSM campaign to thank Pope Francis for his message of mercy and compassion by sharing personal messages and prayers on social media or visiting kapamilyathankyou.com. All of these posts are housed on ABS-CBNNews.com/popefrancisphwall and have a chance to be included in ABS-CBN’s Book of Thanks that will be given to Pope Francis upon his departure.

REFLECTIONS ON PHILIPPINE BROADCAST MEDIA'S COVERAGE OF THE PAPAL VISIT SO FAR
Philippine broadcast media's coverage of the papal visit leaves much to be desired. It shows lack of depth and preparation and, even more important, a surprising lack of interest in this church leader who is probably the most engaging religious personality in recent times.
What should have media practitioners done? Here's a rundown of key tasks, if I were a broadcast journalist or TV program manager:
Have a better orientation from CBCP or the Papal Nuncio on the papal schedule, and the rationale of the papal activities. The schedule shows the priorities, and one ought to know the reason why the pope is doing each of them. What's the back story?
Read the pope's biography and his homilies, both as a pope and before he became pope. This is where Philippine media has utterly failed. The sermons clearly demonstrate the priorities and themes that has preoccupied this man, and they include love for the poor, the dangers of a self-referential church, the need to "go out" and bring Christ to the world, among others. The homilies between 2009 and 2013 have been published in a book, "Encountering Christ: Homilies, Letters, and Addresses of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio," Scepter Pub. (US$13.95 from Amazon). There is even a Facebook page of the homilies. The titles of his recent sermons are fascinating, e.g., The Church is Not an Entrepreneur but a Mother; God Walks in History With Us and Adjusts Its Course. But clearly, no one in Philippine media bothered.
Brush up on liberation theology. This pope was heavily influenced by non-conventional Catholicism in Latin America (key thinkers: Leonardo Boff of Brazil, Gustavo Gutierrez of Peru) as well writings of the Christian Left (notably Karl Barth, Hans Kung, John Shelby Spong, Paul Tillich, and Cornel West). But obviously, Philiippine media practitioners are blissfully unaware of where Pope Francis' ideas are coming from and how they are nourished. Bumili lang kasi ng suka, naging journalist na!
Refresh on the key biblical teachings that are likely to be touched upon by the themes of Pope Francis' visit (Mercy and Compassion). This theme was announced way ahead of his arrival, which would have given journalists ample time to prepare.
Get updated on the trends in Catholicism, and where "winds are blowing" in the Vatican. This Pope represents the polar opposite of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI. Despite the official Catholic clergy's efforts to establish continuity between the two, they are vastly different in orientation and approach, Benedict being dogmatic and conservative and Francis being practical and inclusive. Nobody in Philippine media has discussed this thoughtfully, perhaps in deference to what CBCP wants to show.
Inform the messages of Pope Francis with demonstrations and examples from Philippine social reality. Again, this is very obvious, but no one is exploiting this rich lode of conversation.
What's wrong with Philippine journalism? OK, that's a rhetorical question, but really we deserve a much, much better and far more intelligent media. That's partly the reason why I wrote this note, because all my recommendations above are doable. FYI, I just Googled all the above just now, so it really doesn't take much effort. The problem is the incredible level of intellectual laziness and insipidity.
