    Violations of the KBP Program Standards

    in the Philippines

    Example 1

    ABS-CBN and ABC-5 violation of Section 4, Article 6 of the KBP Broadcast Code,
    which states: “The coverage of crimes or crisis situations shall not provide vital
    information or offer comfort or support to the perpetrators.”

    - In the context of broadcasting, this means that any information that could help
    the people committing the crime or catastrophe should not be shared by the
    broadcasters while they are covering it. This could include facts on the tactics
    employed by the police, the whereabouts of the hostages, or any other
    intelligence that the criminals could exploit to their advantage. In the same
    vein, broadcasters must refrain from saying or acting in any way that can be
    seen as consoling or endorsing the offenders. The particular event that resulted
    in ABS-CBN and TV5 breaking this regulation was their reporting of a hostage
    situation. The KBP Standards Authority concluded that their reporting had in
    fact broken the KBP Broadcast Guidelines by giving the offenders consolation
    or support or important information. The source makes no indication of the
    precise information that was shared or the manner in which the offenders were
    consoled or supported. The KBP Standards Authority likely took action against
    the two networks after this breach, albeit the source does not specify the precise
    sanctions.

    Example 2

    The violation by RJ Nieto pertains to the Broadcast Code’s Article 4, Section 1. This
    section states: “Personal attacks, that is, attacks on the honesty, integrity, or personal
    qualities of an identified person, institution or group, on matters that have no bearing
    on the public interest are prohibited."

    - Nieto's demand that "hollow blocks" be hurled at Rappler reporter Pia Ranada
    was taken as a personal attack against Ranada in light of this violation. This
    was judged to be disrespectful and unprofessional, in violation of Article 4,
    Section 1 of the KBP Program Standards. In this case, Nieto received a serious
    warning from the KBP for this offense, which strengthened the organization's
    resolve to protect its standards and make sure broadcasters follow them.

    Example 3

    The violation by ABS-CBN, TV5, and RMN during their coverage of the August 23,
    2010 hostage-taking incident pertains to Article 6 (Crime and Crisis Situations) of the
    KBP Broadcast Code. “CRIME AND CRISIS SITUATIONS”

    - Officially, the events of August 23, 2010, are referred to as the Manila hostage
    crisis or the Rizal Park hostage-taking incident. In Rizal Park, Manila,
    Philippines, a tourist bus was taken over by Rolando Mendoza, a former
    member of the Philippine National Police who was furious. Sadly, the situation
    worsened and led to the deaths of eight foreign individuals and the injury of
    seven more during a 12-hour standoff that was aired live on television. Rolando
    Mendoza, the person holding the hostages, died as a result of the incident.
