MANILA - Sen.
Risa Hontiveros on Tuesday called for the "immediate" cancellation of the "Wow China" program aired on state radio Radyo Pilipinas as it allegedly "promotes China and its state ideology" on a platform financed by taxpayers' money.
"'Wow China should be cancelled immediately," she said, describing airing of the program as a "betrayal of the Filipino people." "PCOO should be fulfilling its mandate of helping the Filipino people with relevant and timely information especially during this COVID-19 pandemic, but instead, it is allowing a program that promotes China and its state ideology," she said.
