The recent suspension of TV-radio host and entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin for her statements that "went beyond the bounds of decency" has the potential of creating a new face in entertainment reporting.

ABS-CBN slamming a two-month contract suspension slams that notion. If anything, the suspension could be construed as a public scolding of Cristy.
Has she overstepped her boundaries this time? Has she done a disservice to the profession for which she claims unique understanding?
"Sa isang mundo na puro kaplastikan at pagpapanggap ang namamayani, ang isang totoong manunulat ay hindi welcome," claimed Cristy Fermin.
