Another insult to the Philippines. Why don't they just leave us alone? This one's from Teri Hatcher in one of the episodes of Desperate Housewives. I've been putting off this comment because I wasn't done yet with the asshole from Korea. Damn you people. Stupid writer.. and stupid actress. If I was given that script, I would have said something. Now who's to face the wrath of the offended parties? To make it worse, she added - "I don't know what kind of non-sense they taught you..." - then she realized that the doctor graduated in Harvard. It's not that Filipinos lack humor as one blogger said, we just detest the thought that people think less of us. It would have been okay to hear it from Rob Schneider whose mother's a Filipina [Trivia: Pilar Schneider, Filipino; appeared on with Schneider on "The 2nd Annual Saturday Night Live Mother's Day Special" (NBC, 5/9/93); born c. 1928]. I've heard him joke about Filipinos and I laughed 'coz I feel it is okay to comment on people you know. He might have grown up in the US but Filipino moms would always be Filipino moms. He probably got yelled by his mom when he was younger - "Ta**ina Rob, lecheng bata ka, san ka galing?! Ba't basang-basa ka at ang dungis mo?!" I can't remember the exact line from the black guy in The Animal, he said something like, "Do you know why he wasn't promoted? [referring to a Filipino] Because he's stupid!" And I thought that was funny.
I am personally offended because all of my closest friends are in this field of study and I don't want anybody to insult them in any way. To all of you who does nothing but belittle us Filipinos, lemme just say we have contributed so much to the world and we deserve to be praised for all the wonderful things we've done and are still doing for you. Who takes care of your children when you're out doing God knows what? Who's taking care of your old parents when you throw them into the lonely corners of nursing homes, which FYI rarely happens here in the Philippines - children even fight for their folk's custody.. or where are those gentle nurses in your local hospital from? Low-class jobs but you couldn't live without. There's so much more that Filipinos can give the world, heck we have Guinness records too. Give us a chance. Last Sunday, one Filipino [Manny Pacquiao] gave honor to the country again by beating a Mexican [Marco Antonio Barrera] in a boxing match. So little for you but here in the Philippines, it's pandemonium! Mabuhay ang mga Pinoy!
