I just watched Phil. News and I was appalled by Terri Hatcher's line in that desperate program which btw I haven't watch any episode of. That racial slur and labeling of M.D. graduates from a Phil. medical school as inferior is just uncalled for. Medical professionals from the Phil. are highly regarded here in the U.S. This is just blatant stereotyping which shouldn't be tolerated at all. Whoever is the creator and writer of that said episode was truly uninformed. There are given sets of standards for qualified M.D's. here and any hospital hiring their medical staff adheres to such. So it is just a hit below the belt to mention such hurtful and demeaning accusations which are false. Filipino doctors are just as intelligent as their American counterparts. So I am with the Phil. government in asking for an apology. This is a personal choice of a person, as to what choices they want for medical care and airing it on a TV show is totally out of line. Fictional shows should not carry such derogatory claims of inferiority. People of all color or race watch the show except me and it is just bad publicity. What are they thinking? Biting the hands that feed them? Or they might think that their show is beyond the grasp of these people that they are trampling upon? So they are not watching and no one will ever notice, but they are totally wrong. Apology is in order here or else I'm afraid to mention that divine justice will do the rightful job eventually if they wouldn't and this is the one that they need to be fearful of... my opinion. It's a mistake so do the right thing, apologize...
And I'm truly happy for Ms. Nora Aunor, her drug case here was totally blown by the wind, just a metaphor of course, but that is just one step won and hopefully the rest will be a win also. Street drug is a menace, a devil in disguise. Hope everyone will recognize that and will always bear this in mind :) Life is precious, life is short. Don't be a victim, be smart...
