‘KMJS’ RECEIVES WIDE PRAISE FROM NETIZENS OVER HUMONHON FEATURE
GMA Network’s longest-running magazine show, ‘Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho’ (KMJS), has garnered widespread praise from netizens following its feature on the devastating impact of mining on Homonhon Island.
On Sunday, April 14, KMJS featured the distressing aftermath of mining activities on Homonhon Island, a historically significant location as the landing site of Ferdinand Magellan during his discovery of the Philippines.
In a tweet, netizen @nashnaci0n applauded KMJS, describing it as true journalism.
“KMJS exposing Homonhon island mining is top tier journalism. Ganito dapat mareng jess. Di puro mga tiktok eme”
Journalist @RommelFLopez echoed this sentiment, expressing relief that KMJS was finally engaging in genuine journalism.
@heyralphhey expressed satisfaction, noting KMJS’s redemption from previous missteps with its impactful coverage of the Homonhon mining issue.
“Did KMJS really pull off back to back hard-hitting segments on mining and education? Redemption season? ”
@closetfan01 shared their reaction, questioning the permit given to the mining company and the exportation of minerals to China, while @mcpadaoan highlighted the concerns of the Homonhon people regarding the effects of mining.
“Pinapanood ko sa YT yung KMJS ep about sa Homonhon. Grabe bakit inaallow yung mining tapos dinadala yung minerals sa China?? Jusko,” @closetfan01.
“Homonhon people worry for their place due to mining #kmjs”, @mcpadaoan.
@fourth28 suggested that the firsthand experiences of affected communities should not be disregarded when discussing the negative impacts of mining.
“Hindi na dapat indisputable ang claim ng komunidad kasi sila mismo ang nakararanas nito. Tama si Gina Lopez, kung nasaan ang mining nandoon ang kahirapan. Isuspinde na yang mga minahan na yan!”
@graciabelgas expressed gratitude towards KMJS for the coverage and reminisced about former DENR Secretary Gina Lopez’s staunch anti-mining stance.
Thank you for that Homonhon feature, #KMJS. Kamiss lalo si Madam Gina Lopez. No to mining!
@jarrenrepedro thanked and praised KMJS, expressing hope for more sensible features in the future and the end of frivolous topics.
“THANK YOU! Sana ito na ang simula para tigilan ng KMJS ang clout-chasing era at bumalik sa pagfefeature ng mga makabuluhang mga storya. Kudos to KMJS and to Ms. Jessica Soho”
@madamwanderbeki hailed KMJS as an award-winning program and called for accountability from the DENR.
“Graveh mga Kapamilya This is why #KMJS is an award winning show. We call for accountability graveh ang ginawan nyong damages sa Homonhon Island. Ano na DENR.”
In a tweet from KMJS’s official account, the show expressed gratitude to its loyal viewers for their support, citing impressive TV ratings of 17.1 percent and over 212 thousand online views for the latest episode.
“#1 PROGRAMA NG PAMILYANG PILIPINO! Pinakapinanood na sa TV nitong weekend, tinutukan pa rin hanggang online! Maraming salamat po sa napakataas na ratings kagabi at sa mahigit 212,000 na sabay-sabay na sumubaybay sa ating livestream! ”
Meanwhile, in addition to the Homonhon issue, KMJS also addressed backlash against a vlogger who used a tarsier for content. Other topics included unique summer refreshments from various regions, the dedicated ‘bangkera’ teacher who crosses seas to reach school in Sorsogon, and a 1-million peso basketball league in Occidental Mindoro.
