It does not matter what ethnic group, color or creed, hypocrisy is part of the human flaw. Isolating it to Filipinos is small minded. Are you a Filipino?
Besides, the DH debacle has long been addressed. Old news however, it did pull together many principled folks.

Filipinos are hypocrites.

Watch SSS and it’s a far worse racial slur against the Visayans.

Me et al,
No ME I am not so intelligent. I do however think that advertising is a form of brainwashing and it is affective as you say. You know it”s effective when millions of Filipinas buy “whitening cream” back home so they can look “whiter, right. The fact that it doesnt work doesnt really matter. In the Philippines it”s OK to falsely advertise something. It is also OK to sell phony medical certificates. If that bothers you or anyone else. Too bad, Jeez, for all I know the writer may be aware of their availability. Its probably a long shot but maybe the writer has a Filipino friend, neighbor or whatever that told him or her about the practice. I spoke with one of our family doctors (a Filipina) last week about the show and she laughed about it, I suggest you might learn from her. The doctors are retraining to be nurses because they are not qualified to go as doctors. That ME is reality just as “tender egos” are. cheers

NO, Connie—you obviously don’t get it and perhaps you never will. You are playing judge, jury and executioner. That massive chip on your shoulder is blocking your sense of fairness towards your kababayan(doctors & others) who have been affected by that DH debacle. You assume too much by your comments. At this juncture, we will simply accept that you are entitled to your opinion. I seriously contemplated on ignoring your reply instead , I shall comment on it this last time. We are beginning to regurgitate words and bottomline, the banter is beyond tiresome and futile. So long.

Fil am doctors are only after defending their own livelihood, period. The episode on TV was not about you it was an indictment of medical practice and education in the Philippines. You just happen to get hit by it although you were not the target. So Fil-am doctors. go win that $500 M lawsuit and to hell with the Philippines!

You still don’t get it do you?

lapu lapu,

I know you like to talk rhetorically but I’m not sure I understand the notion of your first sentence. Are you trying to say that media has no effect on you because of your intelligence? Please pardon my rudeness but really, if all people had that level of intelligence, sponsors would not be wasting millions of their money on actors and fictitious characters. By the way, we were not concerned about the people who are as intelligent as you. We were concerned about regular people, ignorant people, young people and people who are expanding their comprehension and tolerance. So you see, it’s not a matter of “tender egos”. It’s about dealing with reality as you yourself preached.

Who said anything about ABC or other network being inherently racist? We don’t know that and nobody said it, so I don’t understand why you’re disputing it. We were reacting to a derogatory line said on DH in front of millions of viewers. Perhaps you should bring your topic about phony diplomas to another discussion somewhere.
