THAT IS NOT BEING POOR.<br /><br />what is so telling of us, as a culture, is we love underdogs. there's really nothing wrong in that. who doesn't love an underdog who rises from his dilemma and emerge later on a winner? BUT to deeply be ingrained in our psyche to a point na kahit hindi na dapat eh feeling 'naaapi pa rin'. the bigger tearjerking story we have, the more bestseller we believe we can become. putting a child, a crying child, as he gyrates ON TV for everyone to see... and worse, the host encouraging it and then in the end doling out money for this effort, what does that say to everyone? it's a cultural malaise where showing misery and poverty, and making one self as the victim is the easy way out. you get a few thousand pesos out of it.<br /><br />how about hard work - the dignity in labor, pride in ones hard-earned reward for a good work done... qualities that are lasting and build more character instead of doing macho dancing because 'it's an easy way out.'<br /><br />i have no issue about the dance, the child can strip to his undies for all i care IF THAT FORM of dancing is culturally accepted within a community. (the ifugaos and igorots shake their bare bums while hitting gongs is never seen lewd for it's culturally intrinsic) methinks the bigger and deeper issue that many parents and people who work with children placed forward is the manner the show, together with the child's ill-informed parents is exploiting poverty and misery to strip the child - the Pinoy child - of his capacity to grow up with the values of dignity and pride of self, not as a mere object of derision for others to toy with.palma tayonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536900691140986421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202881605114576417.post-90858343983260396682011-03-30T11:14:49.505+08:002011-03-30T11:14:49.505+08:00All I could think of is tolerating this in Nationa...All I could think of is tolerating this in National TV and giving access to all the sexual predators out there.

Movie? TV? Isn't it interesting that it is almost a cultural knowledge, almost as if it is impregnated into us? Do we react to the dance moves (giling) per se or what it implies (that it is done only my men who want to invoke a sense of carnal pleasure).<br /><br />I actually watched the vid of Jan-jan dancing trying to separate the context of 'macho dancing' and it wasn't that obscene.... but of course taking things out of context is what we got us here in the first place (the out of context crying of jan jan).spaquariumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755538729469612236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202881605114576417.post-46508356188255864232011-03-29T19:16:33.294+08:002011-03-29T19:16:33.294+08:00I'm tempted to say, "Of course, they woul...I'm tempted to say, "Of course, they would defend Willie Revillame to death. Kumita sila ng 15K without any backbreaking work, tapos sila pa ang magrereklamo." <br /><br />But of course, no matter how plausible my thoughts are, these are mere assumptions. <br /><br />But in the end, we all know that morals and values are changing, and in our highly materialistic world, people even sell their souls. <br /><br />Willie Revillame will get out of this rut unscathed.Mugenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219198460080059781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202881605114576417.post-67742079189490772432011-03-29T19:02:41.829+08:002011-03-29T19:02:41.829+08:00@FC: Join a contest, dance a bit, hug Willie once ...@FC: Join a contest, dance a bit, hug Willie once in a while, and then win some money.
