Sensationalism may be good for the ratings but there's no substitute to honest and intelligent reporting." In 1989, poet and literary critic Virgilio S. Almario was critical of ''TV Patrol's'' use of Filipino language, Filipino "siyokoy" words, loanwords from the Spanish or English language that are formed through a misunderstanding of Spanish grammar. As examples, Almario highlighted the use of the words "aspeto," "parliyamento," "pesante," and "konsernado," which he respectively corrected as "aspekto," "parlamento," "magsasaka," "paisano" or "magbubukid," and "konsernido." However, he still commends the program for "passionately" delivering news in the Filipino language.
