ay... nakakaoffend naman...UPDATED!

i just need to blog this...

mga ate at kuya nakakalungkot naman na in this day and age eh may mga ganito pa palang racial discrimaination especially sa mga PINOY!- marami na tayong napatunayan sa iba't ibang larangan, nakipagsabayan narin tayo sa mga banyaga sa kung ano anung propesyon kaya masakit pag tayong mga PINOY eh natatapakan o nakukutya sa anumang bagay... kaya unfair ang writer ng DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (leche favorite ko pa naman ito dahil panalo ang story!) para sa season 4 nila natamaan ata tayo nila...

"racial slur made against Philippine medical schools shown in the hit American television series “Desperate Housewives" prompted several Filipinos to demand an apology from the show's creators.The issue stemmed from a remark made by character Susan Mayer being played by actress Teri Hatcher when she visited the office of Dr Adam Mayfair, played by Nathan Fillion, on the show’s 4th season premier.In the scene that was shown in the US on Sept 30, Dr. Mayfair told a visibly terrified Mayer that the word “menopause" seems to open a Pandora’s Box for the age-conscious middle-aged woman.“They hear ageing, brittle bones, loss of sexual drive…" said the doctor who was cut midway from his explanation by an agitated Mayer.“Before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? 'Coz, I just want to make sure they’re not from some med school in the Philippines," she said while searching for the doctor’s records. He apparently graduated from Harvard Medical School. "

yah gets ko pero come to think of it... its a different level dib? i mean profession kasi at kakayahan sa isang bagay ang pinunan tayo... eh bakit pa ba mabenta ang mga nurses at mga caregvers sa states kung wit nila bet ang service at ang galing ng pag care ng pinoy dib? ska palagi kasing pwedeng igeneralize nalang anung point of being specific...

o well im just proud to be pinoy lang cguru!

Habang totoong me problema sa mga diploma mills dito sa Pilipinas, parang napakatasteless at wala sa pwesto ang pagblurt out ng hitad na Susan Meyer tungkol don (given na true nga ito.)

They don't have the moral ascendancy lalo na't wala naman silang health care system na magsasalbang tunay sa more than half of their population, no?

Pleaaaassse! Tama ka, Mrs. J, let's be proud to be Noypi!

that line is totally uncalled for. =(

i am personally not that much affected by that discriminatory slur but that line is so full of malice and prejudice it's almost teeming with hate. knowing the statistics that filipino nurses account for the whopping 52% of their nursing demographics and pinoy MD's are growing in population in the states, parang maling-mali naman yung impression na gusto nilang iproject about pinoy MDs and med schools in specific OR the health care delivery system of the philippines in general.

if they'll even look at the real statistics, among foreign educated MDs who took up the US MLE (medicine licensure exams), pinoy ang may mataas na passing rate eh (compared to bumbays at intsiks). not only are those remarks judgmental, they're extremely un-"factual" and misleading as well.

isumpa ang palabas ni mark cherry! sunugin si susan!!! =) just kidding!

oh diba, sabi na sa yo mrs J hindi ako masyadong affected eh. hehehe =)
