Heto na naman...

Kung Hindi mo pa rin nararamdaman mag-eeleksyon na sa kabila ng napakarami ng "advocacy ads sa Tv", mga naglalakihang billboards ng mga naka-pwesto sa gobyerno na biglang nagkaroon ng "Kuya" at "Tito" sa kanilang pangalan, mga mukhang nagpupumilit sumingit sa likod ng pambansang kamao tuwing lalabas ito sa TV, ang biglang naghihimutok na reaksyon ng mga politiko sa Scandal ni Hayden, sa mga mababaw at halatang pasikat na pahayag Lang laban kay Chip Tsao sa kainitan ng isyu at syempre ang pinakabago--ang isyu ni Aleck Baldwin at ang Mail order Brides eh malamang tanga ka na.


Sang ayon Naman akong wala sa matinong pag-iisip o ugali ito si Hayden Kho, hindi ko rin naman kinakampihan si Chip Tsao, natuwa rin naman ako ng manalo si Pacquiao pero tama ba na laging makisakay Ang Mga pulitiko sa lahat ng isyung in? Kulang na lang ligawan nila si Dionisia para nasa headlines na sila kinabukasan.

Kanina lang napanood ko sa balita ang mga senador na naghuhumutik sa galit dahil daw sa masamang biro ni Aleck Baldwin dito...




Let's disregard the fact that I personally don't find this offensive, watching the whole thing and understanding the supposed "joke" in context of the actual interview--this is not offensive for me. However, I also feel for those people who find it offensive for the reason that this may really bring negative connotation about Filipina women in general. Also, let's disregard the fact that there weren't no statement that implied he was generalizing or the fact that Filipina Mail-Order Bride is an actual thriving industry in the country--of course they don't call it like that nowadays because there are already laws against it but it still thrives through your everyday Adult Dating sites and even through Facebook, Friendster, Multiply, MySpace or what have you. I would be supporting any call for him to apologize for the whole sake of it and also for the seemingly easily aggravated politicians who coincindentally will run in 2010.

Also, I would just like to reiterate the points I've previously raised on this Chip Tsao Article... that as much as we'd like to deny it, the reason we easily get offended is because THE TRUTH HURTS. Of course, we're not all servants, not all medical professionals are not competitive, not all graduates simply purchased their diploma from Recto and not all Filipina can be ordered through mail but there are basis to these insulting statements against us. Instead of sulking about it or simply asking an apology, why can't we all do something to prove we are all better than that. Why can't the politicians do their job instead of abusing their privilege speech to gain publicity.

Huwag rin sana tayo magmalinis, dahil kung laitan lang din ang laban hindi rin naman tayo nahuhuli diyan. Kung pagtawanan nga ng marami ang "National Pride na si Pacquiao" eh ganun-ganun na lang (Yah know). Ilang ulit na rin ako naka-ikot sa ibang blog at kung laitin natin ang mga arabo sa kanilang amoy, ang mga intsik sa kanilang produkto, ang mga mexican dahil sa swine flu eh ganun-ganun na lang. Of course, hindi natin sila nilalahat pero diba parang ganito rin ito?

Bakit nga ba hindi maubos-ubos ang ganitong isyu? Mula sa hate later umano ni Art Bell, ang pahayag ni Chip Tsao, ang patama sa medical practitioners sa Desparate Housewives at kung anu-ano pang hindi ko na mabilang at maalala. Totoong nakakagalit, nakakainis at nakaka-insulto ang mga ganito pero bahagi na yan ng buhay. Hindi man sa level ng mga bansa at isang lahi--kahit iyong kapitbahay mo lang dyan siguro may sinasabi sa iyong masama at sigurado ikaw rin minsan ganoon.

Mail Order Brides?

Personally, I think it's sad that some Filipinas couldn't think of anything better than to offer up themselves for a promise of a better life. I'm the type of person who believes that there shouldn't be any other reason why one should marry another person but love. The hopeless romantic type like me however won't stand a chance in the real world. Nakakalungkot naman isipin na minsan, lalo na sa mga mahirap na pamilya--pang karaniwan mo ng maririnig ang mga biro na "mag-asawa ka na lang ng hapon" o di kaya ay "Doon ka na sa puti--marami iyong dollars" kesa naman diyan sa Pinoy--wala kang aasahan diyan.
