Desperate for Philippine audience!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Desperate Housewives, the epitomy of how dysfuntional families in the United States - it’s popular, it’s a must see on Sunday after Americans are finished with their spiritual sunday services in their mosques, churches or synagogues. This is suburbia trash in a subtle way. Ok, fine -?blatantly upfront trash! It’s interesting because today, on CNN, it was blasted as a developing story that another trashy housewife showing off her puki-puki to the world is losing her kids to her ex-husband. She’s a good friend of another puki-puki show-off, faki-faki to the world and such a horrible model to kids.? I won’t tell you who she is!?You’re gonna have to tune in to Cini-Cini!
What’s the issue?
BOPOLS
But you see, if this desperate show was set in the Philippines, we would call?these women, BOPOLS - if you’re an American, you’re gonna have to find a Filipino to translate that wonderful word for you, because I am not giving you my wiki-wiki, ok puki-puki? You’re probably asking yourself, what in the world is going on with Reyna again? Is she delusioneee once again?
Kengkay Alert
NOPE. I was up in the ranch today. Working. When I was alerted by my German friend Kengkay with her post: Kick That Desperate Housewives?Out!. But you see, Chuva and I love this show. He even rented the entire episode last year and we had a Desperate Party - a Very Desperate Party to finish about 5 or so DVDs on a marathon show. But last night, he was busy studying since he’s now a Desperate Student at Rutgers University and I have a Desperate Presentation I am preparing this Wednesday in Boston. That’s our Desperate Excuses.
Philippine Medical Association?to Earth?- Houston! We got a desperate problem!
But now that I have read Kengkay’s entry as well as all the shoutout in the Desperate Message Board, I hope the Philippine Medical Association better stand up and ask ABC for an explanation. But then again, it’s been said and done already - by this well, trashy show. I’m sure there’ll be another swipe at Filipinos in another episode or another show, or in another country. So, I’m not even sure if it’s even advisable for PMA to even write ABC News, considering the professional status of PMA and the trashy writers of ABC.
Comprende Jose?
Honestly, they stereotype everybody here.
Now, here me out here:
The value of canon printers is acknowledged by all the printing press groups, finding the ideal efficiency of these printing devices.

sa tingin mo reinz e lalaban ng patayan tong mga kadoktoran natin sa AVC este ABC? ma at pa ….baka puswitan lang sila ni Ka Gloring at pabalikin sa eskwelahan para mag-aral ng nursing tsk tsk tsk…..
[Reply]
hahaha ok ang sinabi mo melai tungkol sa labanan ah! hahaha!
i don’t think they’ll make a big deal out of this. else, pasisikatin lang nila nang husto tong desperadang show na to. actually, gusto ko silang lahat! kanyakanyang buang na character!

Half of my school’s graduates have gone to the US in the past few years. I wonder how they’re taking it.

Ewan ko ba. Tayo naman kasing mga Pinoy may fetish din sa ganyan, gusto nating laging naririnig ang “Philippines” sa mga TV shows sa America (para feeling natin “Aba napapansin tayo”).
The best way to deal with it is to ignore it. I don’t watch the show, by the way.

si JANET me point! tsk! tsk! tsk! me tama ka Janet,
pero you know, i’ve been discriminated at work nang mga puti, ilang beses na din akong nakipag-away because of nasty crap hurled at me at eto nga ang latest at work na bopol ang upak nitong lawyer saken just because tiga flippines nga ako.
i think you’re right - bakit nga ba ako iiyak samantalang pag sa pinas, even kaming mga bicolano eh tatawaging uragon. but i guess it depends on where - kasi here, iba ang dating saakin. i can’t explain it, but i am actually annoyed.
[Reply]
to benj,
my nephew said - to hell with it. hahaha! i guess they should be the judge kung nainsulto nga sila hahaha
[Reply]
@empress,
honestly, di ba nga ganun tayo, wanting some extra and serious attention dahil nga paratin tayong kulelat kaya wish naten parating mention ang mga pinoy. incidentally, si Jaime Zobel de Ayala was given the highest award sa Harvard at Pinoy sya (ok, Espanyol) but nobody even noticed. blog ko na lang baka sakaling hire ako hehehe
[Reply]
@Jenet - isa lang masasabi ko sayo… mag nursing ka muna at magtrabaho ka sa abroad tapos saka mo sabihin na plastic ang pinoy! Di lang ikaw at si sassy girl ang marunong magisip! yun lang!
[Reply]
nyay! sasabihin ko sana e puso mo inang lol si panjet pala yun..dyoray ha hehehehehhe!!!
[Reply]
@melai - hahaha insulto kasi… pupunta punta dito tapos lalaitin yung post. duwag naman at ayaw ipakilala tunay na identity at ayaw ilink ang blog nya. sino kaya ang plastic. mabait akong tao pero pag ba ganyan ang gawain ay lumalabas ang pagka demonyo ko.
hindi ibig sabihin kasi nagtatagalog tayo dito eh hindi tayo marunong magisip. bigyan ko kaya ng quiz yan sa split-infinitive at sa tenses!
(kay janet) karapatan namin magalit kasi ramdam namin ang buhay sa abroad at ang laiitin. kung sa kanila balewala yun at kababawan yun at linkbating yun eh di fine… hindi naman kasi nila naranasan magtrabaho sa abroad… mga kalahi kasi ni malu fernandez…
opinion nyo yun tanggap namin yu pero opinion din namin to. hindi nga ako nanonood ng desperada na yan kasi isang kababawan… its not even fetish for crying out loud!
ewan sa mga yan… maranasan sana nila ang discrimination ng matigil mga yan… HIGH and MIGHTY kasi!
[Reply]
HAY NAKU, Melai at Bluep
this is beginning to be a hot topic, i’ve actually made rounds of bloghopping and reading most blogs that are desperate (HAHAHA CHIKA) read: nagsulat nang desperate housewives, and what I noticed is that - yong some of the bloggers who have not been in the US or are in the Philippines are the ones who seemed to be annoyed at the fact that we are complaining and that we are over-reacting. Ilang pinoy bloggers lang ang I could count who feels the same way. Who knows, baka patas?
And I noticed - those were familiar bloggers! HAHAHA
My take?
They have not been in the US. They have not experienced how it is to be treated differently by lunatics here. They have no clue whatsoever what is an ordinary american workplace working with caucasians, blacks, hispanics and fellow asians. Not all americans treat all people nice. In other words, they can’t relate. Which is why - that may be a joke - but trust me, there are americans who actually believe those lines!
But this is not generalizing that all pinoys in the US feels this way. Not really. Am sure there are those who’d say keeri ko?
[Reply]
Guys,
HAHAHA I wish I could record my conversation with my best friend from San Diego, she’s a doctor - an FEU grad and my phone is burning sa pagmumura nitong kebigan ko! HAHAHA Naku pag narinig nyo, mababaliw kayo! HAHAHA
[Reply]
Blue,
you have to ignore that insult by Janet “The other side of the coin(the truth hurts noh?)” - i don’t know what truth she’s talking about. the fact that she doesnt’ have an ID, she’s trying to foment a fight, but she could be anybody - and it’s interesting why she brought us to Sassy Lawyer’s site, could she be Sassy? Whow know, but if you notice I am an equal opportunity blogger and yes, Janet without an ID has a place in here. Di ba ang cute ko? hahaha. Yan ang tinatawag na link-baiting. At nagpa-bait naman ako! hahaha
[Reply]
oo nga naman
bagong entry na naman na pag-iinitan dali lol!
[Reply]
Janet, hindi yung mga duktor ang gumawa ng kung ano mang kanta yang sinasabi mo. Ikaw ang racist. Porke Pilipino ang gumawa, kelangan ng pagbayaran ng LAHAT ng Pilipino? Ok.
[Reply]
manay….. ipagpepetisyon mo kasi ng maranasan nila mga naranasan mo lol!!!
mwahehehehe naghahanap ba ko ng away dito??
hindi ha ayaw ko ng away ayaw ko ng away
lanya si terri hatcher yung kunehang nagpasimula nito e ayan …amerkanong amerkano ..pinaghahati-hati na naman ang mga pinoy para muling pasunurin sa kanilang mga kamay lol!!!

Magaling…magaling…magaling! Bravo Janet! Dapat sa iyo kasama ni Malou Fernandez na i-boycott! Yan ang nagagawa ng makikitid ang isip. I am actually not to say this, kaso nakakapag init ng ulo ang mga comment mo. I respect your opinion, kaso parang naibabad yang utak mo sa toyo at calamansi. Sinabi mo “kaplastikan ng mga Pilipino”, Amerikano ka ba? E di isa ka sa mga plastik? Ice tea nga jan Madame Reyna! Nag-iinit ako bwahahahahaha

Anti-Filipino remark on ‘Desperate Housewives’?
[Reply]
Reynz,
As I have said Bopol ang writer na sumulat ng script na yon.
1. If the doctor is already practising in the US, it means that he has passed intensive and stringent training in order to pass the exam to be able to practice.
2. The diploma and transcript of every college graduate in the Philippines is subjected to accreditation in order to find out if the
curricular programs, the course description matches that of the US universities to provide equal playing field when it comes to taking examination or pursuing a higher education.
The purpose is contrary to the belief of many including those
graduates from the elite schools that they are only the ones recognized by the US Dept. of Education.
3. Most of those healthcare professionals in the hospitals and government clinics are not obstetrician and gynecologists.
They are nursing practitioners. What’s a nursing practitioner.
A nursing practitioner is one who has a masteral degree in Nursing. A “scholar of mine” a graduate of Phil. university
of non-nursing course was admitted in the masteral program.
What the people back there in the Philippines do not know is that not all registered or licensed nurses in the US are bachelor’s degree holder.
For the locals (that means those who are already here and have finished nursing courses from a vocational school) to be able to get the NCLEX here, one should only satisfy the required number of Nursing subjects only. He does not have to be a BSN.
Our nurses from the Philippines are BSN and RN.
so between a nurse here and nurse from the Philippines, the chance of being promoted credentials wise is the RP nurse.
I should know, I have been involved in the nursing inustry here.
The writers also missed the fact that most of the doctors here are foreign born and or who have graduated from other countries.
Medicine course in the States is very expensive that the locals would not enroll without the financial assistance, study-now-pay later. Ang pagbayad ang mahirap. I’ve seen a lot of medical specialists and most of them have foreign sounding names.
So yong mga Filipino na mababa ang tingin sa sarili nila dahil ang sabi ay mababa ang kalidad ng ating edukasyon, bakit pagpumunta rito ang mga bata na nag-aral diyan, naaccelerate pa sila.
Alin ba ang mas magandang edukasyon, yong walang ibinabagsak o yong maraming bumabagsak dahil hindi maabot ang standard.
Besides, I do not associate intelligence with the schools that he graduated from. Kahit saang Baryo siyete ka pa grumaduate kung talagang matalino at ismarte (matalino yong mataas ang IQ) na hindi assurance na papasapalagi) ka kahit saan ka dalhin, magsashine ka pa rin.
Minsan ang mga naisusulat sa script ay senyales na ang writer ay walang alam.
Teri is just an actress. Baka hindi pa niya alam kung nasaan ang Pinas. They just read what they memorized.
Ang gago ay yong scriptwriter.

@Ca t - Kapatid, I couldn’t agree with you more! clap! clap! clap! very well said.
when I was interviewed by an american employer from New York which I recently had my contract signed, he was so amazed that we already have some units in our masteral studies (pinoy nurses). It turned out that only few US born nurses have the ability or capacity to enroll in their masters. By his way of saying it, the reason “daw” why they are getting professionals from the Philippines is because they believe that we are competent and highly qualified compared to our US and Indian counterparts.
Tama si Ca t… good education is not monopolized by universities… nasa sa estudyante yun.
Will my University degree do me any good if even the simplest nursing intervention of raising the side rails of the patient’s bed slips my thought during a seizure attack, which by the way ay maraming matatatlino ang nakakalimot gumawa nyan during duty hours.
and in addition, to those bloggers who thought that reacting to this issue is over-reacting and being “onion-skinned”, well guess again… Malacanang already said their piece:

Baka lang yung mga nagpost dyan na masyado daw tayo nagrereact sa mababaw na issue tulad nito eh mamulat mo eh nagpopost na rin ng anti-desperadas na entry… ngayon natin malalaman kung sino talaga ang mga nakiki-ride on lang sa issue at sino yung mga talagang may krusada against professional discrimination…
talking about link baiting!

hahaha no comment ako dun sa isa sa taas… yan ang link-baiting, may promo pa LOL
[Reply]
Bumbay ako sabi nga ni Chuvaness at Melai! pero bakit di ako nagagalit? LOL LOL LOL
[Reply]
@The C at,
I like what you said and it’ true - really. It doesn’t necessarily follow that once you’re a graduate of a WKU (well-known univ) equals you’re smart. Much as I would have loved to be at WKU wa datung ang fadir but then, I got the chance to go to school in the US (Temple and GWU) and I know that my grades/GMAT and interview mattered more than being a grad of Barrio Siete.
I have not seen this petition about the boycott, but I have to respect my fellow bloggers for asking for a boycott - HECK! (mawawalan kami nang mga mapapanood na lalakiiiii!!!!), I still personally believe that it’s demeaning. Heck, I’ve worked with Americans for many many many many manyyyyyyy years at alam ko ang mentality nang mga yan! Pede ba! Which is why part of what I said, maybe it depends on where you are. If your’e from Barrio Siete - who cares. Di mo naman feel eh.
But yeah, it would be good to know what’s the state of mind of the writer.

Iba ang constructive criticism at at criticism which is meant to insult.
Kung ang hindi pag pansin sa isang insulto dahil isa ka ring mang-insulto, ano kaya ang mas magandang gawin?
Tigilan din ang pag-iinsulto.
I think I can react to this racial slur because I am not guilty of being a bigot. What about you?

hahaha! gusto mo bang i-akusa ako nyan dahil mate-tetano sya sa kinakalawang na korona ko? I can’t answer comment now! Maya na lang! I gotta goooooo! Late na naman ako! I love all these heated arguments about who’s what in what column! hahaha!
basta ako! I don’t want a boycott - i NEED to see all those MEN. period. hahaha

@Inang and Ca t - sa totoo lang di na ako naiinis eh, natatawa na ako dun kay “janet” kasi kung nagkataoon na nilagay nya tunay na identity nya, malamang wala na syang balat dahil lalangamin sya dito.
at least she’s wise enough to hide her identity because she knows she will be grilled alive here. LOL
wag lang sya magagawi sa mga blog ng ibang kakampon dahil baka mahuli ang IP nya, yari sya hahaha. I haven’t courted any girl named janet yet… i wonder why LOL

Guys,
In fairness to Sassy, it is not her style to promote her blog.
The commenter just used the link as reference to reinforce her argument.
Some people do not have the confidence to express their opinion that they make use of other people’s views.
[Reply]
hindi si “sassy” yan i’m sure. She’s a lawyer and she would not do such a thing. “janet” is just a poser who is using “sassy’s” entry to trigger an argument here. si janet ay isang ligaw na kaluluwa na gustong makatikim ng derigold. LOL
[Reply]
hahaha no comment ako dun sa isa sa taas… yan ang link-baiting, may promo pa LOL
btw im jokingly pertaining to the comment of the guy with the name of his blog at the bottom of his comment. no offense but it is definitely funny.
[Reply]
the commenter should understand that when the politically incorrect terms come from their own people or ethnicity, it is accepted without much negative reaction, just like the Blacks calling each other N..
The same is true with the people in the third gender and am sure reynz would agree to this. They call each other B…la.
Pero pag iba ang tumawag sa kanila nyan ay ibang usapan yon.
Now why the reaction on the racial slur… kasi hindi lang isa ang apektado kung hindi buong profession ng doctor sa US.
Si Isaah of Grey Anatomy was kicked out from the TV series because of the racial slur. The gay people were not oversensitive when they found his comments offensive.
Robin Williams movie suffered in the box office due to his comment about Catholic priests.
I am not also advocating for a boycott because I do not watch that TV series and it will just make people curious about the program.

Are you in the academe?
Did you have the opportunity to compare the two systems of education?
Do you have stats to back up this conclusion. If you are just parroting some people, then I would say that there is indeed something wrong with our educational system because it is a failure in imbibing self esteem and developing the skill of critical thinking.
[Reply]
Iba ang constructive criticism at at criticism which is meant to insult.
Kung ang hindi pag pansin sa isang insulto dahil isa ka ring mang-insulto, ano kaya ang mas magandang gawin?
Tigilan din ang pag-iinsulto.
I think I can react to this racial slur because I am not guilty of being a bigot. What about you?
I ask you back, ni-rereactan mo ba yung mga INSULTO na ginagawa na media natin sa mga kapwa Pilipino at mga taga-ibang bansa?
Exactly. Tigilan ang pangiinuslto. GInagawa ba yun ng Pilipino? Hindi!
Nagrereactn lang ang Pilipino kapag sila ang naiinsulto pero karamihan sa mga Pilipino, hirit pa rin sa pag-insulto!
Ginagawang parang low-class citizens ang mga may dwarfism. Mga katutubo ay ginagawang katuwaan ng mga malisyosong pag-iisip at pati na rin yung kultura nila na.
Nagagalit tayo sa American media sa paglapastangan ng imahe ng Pilipino pero tayo tayo rin, naglalapastangan ng imahe ng mga taga-ibang bansa at ng mga sarili nating kababayan. DJ Bumbay? Yung insulto sa mga Igorot, ita at di mapuputing tao?
Kaplastikan ng mga Pilipino.
Obviously, hindi mo nakuha ang nais kong iparating.
[Reply]
Kung sa tingin niyo nararqapat ng humingi ang mga Pilipino ng apology sa mga Americano, dapat tayo rin magissue ng apology sa mga
Bisaya - dahil ilang dekada na nating ginagawang katawa-tawa na ang accent nila at dahil kapag nasa maynila ka, ang iniisip ka agad eh “maid”, yuk b isya agad ang sabi.
Chinese - dahil noon, ang tawag sa kanila instik beho, tapos dinuduraan pa sila ng mga Pilipino nung dekada 50 at 60. Pero ngayon ,asaan na sila? Tagapagtaguyod ng ekonomiya.
Igorot — ilang beses na natin sila nilapastangan pero sabay sasabihin ng Pilipino na hindi igorot “ginawa na ninuno namin ang banawe rice terraces”. pero kapag babanggitin mo sa isang hindi igorot ang igorot, iniisip nila kaagad ‘may buntot’!
Aeta — nilalapastangan n atin sila dahil ‘kakaiba’ ang hitsura nila sa ‘typical’ na pilipino at dahil hindi sila gaanong katangkad at di maputi. maliban doon, basta nakakaita tayo ng di mapunting pilipino, sasabihin nalang ita ita ta! kahit di naman siya ita talaga. Tapos sa mga sitcoms din natin, pinagtatawanan ang mga may di kaputian ang balat.
[Reply]
Nakikita dito na one sided ang Pinoy. Sa kanila ayos lang manlapastangan ng iba kahit alam nilang nakakasakit sila, tuloy pa rin ang insulto pero kapag ang pilipino na ang nasa hotseat, nagagalit.
Kaya siguro isinumpa ang pilipinas, dahil ganito magisip ang mga pilipino. ayaw nilang tanggapin na kasing sahol rin sila ng mga racist diyan na hindi pilipino.
[Reply]
Idadagdag ko na rin yung mga Indians na ginagawang laughing stock sa isang music video ni Michael v.
Matagal nang ipinahayag ng mga Indians na nainirahan sa Pilipinas na naooffend sila kapag Bunbay ang tawag sa kanila.
May ginawa ba ang Pilipino upang matanggal ang mentalidad na ito?
Ito ang ginawa natin:
Gumawa ng video na ang pamagat ay:
DJ Bumbay na ang lyrics ay sinsasabi na ang mga Indians, kung magbenta, ay defective ang produkto.
Sung by: Michael V na isang Pilipino at hindi Indian

Ako naniniwala ako na bangkarote yung sistema ng edukasyon sa pinas …kasing bangkarote ng kasalukuyang adminsitrasyon at ng mga nauna pang administrasyon…pwede akong magbigay ng datos…bungkalin ko yung konti kong nalalaman dyan bilang dating estudyante pero di ako agree dun sa sinabing plastik ang pinoy dahil gineralize..may mga pinoy na plastik tanggapin natin yan..karakter yan e..pero kung sasabihing plastik ang pinoy e parang kastila yan na nagsabing mga tamad ang mga pinoy.

Mukhang nabasa mo lang ito kung saan. Palagay ko di ka pa naman buhay noong 50’s at 60’s.
hindi ka ba puwedeng magbigay ng sarili mong opinyon at kailangan mo pa ang history na tapos na at kailangan ang ungkatin.
Magkaroon ka naman mg originality. O kasama ka rin sa bangkaroteng educational system? Dahil ang aking transcript ay recognized dito sa States.
[Reply]
Kailangan mo siguro ng curriculum para sa mataas na pagtanaw sa sarili upang magkaroon ka ng pride para sa bayan mo at hindi yong ikaw pa ang sumasamang nagpapabagsak sa imagen ng bansa.
Kung mali ang mag-insulto, kahit ang pinoy dapat tigilan yon pero
HINDI MAGANDANG RASON NA DAHIL MAPANG INSULTO ANG IBA AY PUPUNAHIN MO RIN ANG IBA NA AYAW MAGPAINSULTO AT TATANGGAPIN MO NA LANG ANG PAGYURAK SA DANGAL NG IYONG KABABAYAN.

Hello janet!
Hindi ako kailanman nangiinsulto sa bumbay, sa intsik at kung ano pa mang lahi. Bumisita ka sana sa blog kodahil maraming dun multicultural at multiracialbloggers. would you believe I have a fellow blogger who is muslim? she was the first one who gave me a nudge to get out of my friendster blog. and up to now she visits and read my blog from time to time considering she’s a singaporean moslem.
my point exactly is it is very unfair for us that you generalize all pinoys. not all of us are bigots. not all of us are racist.
the mere fact that we are reacting to this is because we do not want racial slurs of any kind precisely because hindi namin gawain yun. hindi kami guilty kumbaga.
and that is the point of miss Ca t.
Ang tanong ko lang eh bakit ka ba iritangirita na kami ay nagrereact dito? di mo naman kami palamon? kahit ba maghubo ako halimbawa dito sa blog ng reyna may magagawa ka ba? eh karapatan ko yun.
another point exactly is this: we have our right to react lalo na ako kasi Nurse ako and most of my family is in the medical and allied medical profession. so what’s it to youkung magreact kami? mamatay ka ba nun? or may epekto ba sayo?
just for you to reflect upon kasi ang lumalabas dito ikaw ineng ang over acting.
ilagay mo sana proper links mo kasi sobrang pandaraya yang ginagawa mo na di ka nagpapakilala eh. if you have a blog then show it para fair sa amin. lumaban ka ng patas sa debate and do not generalize us because we are not the ones whoare racists. magagalit sayo mgakaibigang kong bumbay at igorot (which I have) pag sinabihan mo ako na i am racist against them kasi alam nila na hindi ako ganun… same with the other people here my friend.
now kung pati ako ay titirahin mo dito dahil lamang sa hindi ako sumasangayon sa opinion mpo then bring it on and i wont waste my time anymore arguing with you.
our point is very clear for any scholastics who studied in a sound and abled school. kuha mo? hehehe
[Reply]
Is that a study, a comparative study? Because if that is only your opinion. Spare me.
Be sure you have enough samples to make your study representative of the whole educational system. Kung mga isanlibo lang yan at perceptions lang. Spare me.
[Reply]
Yaiks! Ang tatalino naman ng mga tawo dito, makauwin na nga lang sa bundok ng holiwud, hehehehe!
O sha enjoy your reactions and balitaktakan, mabuhay kayong matatalino!!! Makapag gantsilyo na nga lang at baka ma tempt pa akong makipag debate sa inyo, hehehehe. Lam nyo pareho namang tama ang mga arguments ninyo eh… I just happen to lean more sa mga points raised by Janet, soulmate ko siguro sha, kaya sensha kayo.

UPDATE: Pang asar lang
I talked to my 5 cousins , 1 brother in law and one sister who happens to be nurses and doctors in the uS via phone and chat just this morning. they were angry and offended. they are also launching a US wide protest online (all pinoy and us doctors there) on friday I think.
Conclusion:
yung mga isinasantabi itong issue na ito at nagsasabing “we grow up” at “sensitive kami”ay obvious na hindi nakaranas magtrabaho sa abroad at maghugas ng pwet ng pasyente kaya wa epek sa kanila.
hindi intelehente ang labanan dito. prinsipyo to. kungdi kayo offended fine pero hayaan nyo kaming ilabas ang sentimyento kasi di naman kayo ang naghuhugas ng pwet ng mga taong di nyo ka-anoano!
yunlang. akala ko kasi kami lang sa pinas ang over reacting, madami pala kami at pasalamat ako hindi ibang High and Mighty bloggers lang ang may karapatan sa opinion… wag dumalaw sa blog namin kung hindi sang ayon. wag pati ako ilink ng ilink kasi di ako mahiligmagbasa ng mga blog na di ko type basahin lalo na yungmga self righteous. tapos!
asar talo ang pikon! hahaha
Bow!
(Im pertaining to janet and the ones who linked me) I love you janet.. will you marry me? LOL

Lam nyo pareho namang tama ang mga arguments ninyo eh… I just happen to lean more sa mga points raised by Janet, soulmate ko siguro sha, kaya sensha kayo.
So nasaan ang katunayan mo na bangkarote nga ang educational system ng Pinas?
Ang bilis ninyong magbigay ka ng generalization, wala namang katunayan.
Pag sinabi mong pangit ang isang tao, patunayan mo, hindi yong gaya-gaya lang kayong magsabi ng pangit.
May isang salita sa ganiyan. PARROT.
Ang hirap sa ibang Pilipino, mahilig silang mag-insulto ng kababayan pero itsa puwera sarili nila.
Ang mga line of thinking ay, kasi kasalanan din natin bakit tayo magrereklamo.
Puwes kung kasalanan mo ang mang-insulto, yon ang itigil mo. hindi yong tameme ka at katulad ng iba ay mag-aamen sa sinabi ng isang aktres na wala namang kaalam-alam kung gaano kahirap ang makapasok ang healthcare professionals sa US.
Alam mo ba kung paano ang US magvalidate ng credentials?
Ang mga issue ng diploma mills ay hindi pupuwede. Dahil diretso sila sa university at sa PRC. Pagkatapos babanat kayo tungkol sa educational system na kung totoo, hindi ka makakita ng ospital na halos kalahati ng staff ay Filipino.
Sinabi ko ako ay nasa nursing industry noon. Dahil may nursing registry akong itinayo. Para saiyong kasiyahan. ang mga Filipino nurses at iba pang healthcare workers ang hinihingi ng mga ospital dahil kilala sila sa sipag at sa galing sa trabaho.
Kung sasabihin mo lang ay mababa ang klaseng edukasyon ng Pilipino dahil sa English, kailangan makita mo silang sumulat.
English na nga ang kanilang salita, mali pa ang kanilang spelling.
Kung ako paniniwalain mo na nasa academe ng Pilipinas at nagkaroon ng oportunidad na magtayo ng iskwela dito sa US kung saan Pilipino pa rin ang lumalabas na magaling pagdating sa pag-unawa, at maniniwala sa isang kailangan pa ang opinion ng iba para lang masabing nag-iisip, patawarin mo ako. Hindi ganiyan kakitid ang isip ko. At minsan pumapatol din ako sa makikitid ang isip kagaya nito. Otherwise, masaya na ako sa blog ko.
Kung hindi ka naman nasaktan, huwag mo nang banggitin ang
nangyari noong panahon pa ni Mahoma para lang maipagtanggol mo ang iyong opinyon.
May mga issue na maaring daanin sa humor pero my issue na kailangan ang maging seryoso.
Nanakot ka pa ng debate, I don’t think that you have the stats.
kaya tiklop ka.
Sabi na Grissom ng CSI, if there are no evidences, everything is just a gossip.

mia,
salamat at congrats sa pagpasa sa board.
Pag nag-apply ka sa NCLEX doon mo mapapatunayan kung gaano kahigpit ng US of A pagkuha ng credentials ng mga Philippine graduates.
Pag nagrabaho ka sa USA, maipagmamamalaki mo na hindi lang isang exam ang ipinasa mo para makapagtrabaho ka doon kung hindi DALAWA.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, seryoso pa rin…Hmmmmm, basta kampi talaga ako kay Janet!!! Tse!
Mga graduate kami ng low school (mababang paaralan) kaya di kami pumapatol sa over achievers at super intellectuals kasi busy kami sa bukid, yun lang!
[Reply]
Reynz,
thanks for the news. The US TV networks are viewers oriented.
ABC studios management knows the size of Filipino viewership in the USA especially LA.
They know that the cohesiveness of these Filipino viewers is what supported the Filam Cheryl Burke in the Dancing with the Stars competition.
It was also their texting power that sustained Jasmine Trias in the America Idol finals not too long ago.
So there is no need to call for a boycott or a ban. Just a demand letter for an apology is enough.
And for those kababayans who think that our own people also tend to discriminate people of other ethnicity, then condemn the act rather than write a generalization that all filipinos all racist
and therefore have no right to ask for rectification of a statement that some of us may find offensive.
