Masyado kayong apektado! ang mga pinoy sobrang GUILTY! para kayong NANA. sinabi ng actress ang linyang “in — SOME — med school in the Philippines”. Does anyone get the point? “SOME MED SCHOOL” HELLO!!????? “board exam leakage controversy” hello!!??? RECTO hello!!???…. hwag nyong sitahin ang scriptwriter, baka i-sampal sa mukha natin ang bulok na sistema at katotohanan. Pupunta kayo ng Amerika tapos rereklamo kayo. “SANA DUMATING ANG PANAHON ang lahat ng experto nandirito na lang sa Pilipinas…”

Speaking of masyadong apektado… HELLO?!?!?!

I didn’t know there were lawsuits being filed or donations being sought (what for?)… I only know of the rallies and demands for episodes that would supposedly correct the slur (like scenes where an IMG would be appreciated by the lead characters). Selfish and overreacting.

Why correct a mistake made by this idiotic fictional character – because I wish everybody who watches this show is as smart and as able to discern reality from fiction just as yourself…and wouldn’t follow just any fad….

again the only thing I don’t like whats happening now is the overreaction (rally, lawsuit, donations). I just wanted an apology via news/media hence I signed a petition – I’d only go to that extreme if they did not issue an apology….In that I agree with you.

Now lets say Teri Hatcher’s Character is just an idiot, stupid, racist,bitch …(like yourself I don’t watch this show, so what the hell do I know)…and she does not read anything thicker than a magazine (de javu Malu- also I do recent that statement – I do get a lot of stuff in the Magazines…depends on what magazine anyways – I love consumer reports). will she comit to this statement? where would she get this idea from anyways – that Filipino MD are less credible – Where? Somewhere up in the air – In the writer’s mind – and where could he have gotten than information? Where? again up in the air – He made it up after seeing so many filipino nurses working in the U.S. ( they number more than doctors ) SInce he’s been writing derogatory remarks during Frazier years- No complaint whatsoever in many years – it must be ok….
Now with that, he may have been commited it either intentionally or by mistake (lack of research) – then like I said either way it must be corrected.

cool?

I thought your premise was to be as close to reality as possible?, to win awards? The Guy (Actor) was caucasian. So realistically even if you flood the U.S. with Pinoy MD, the number of Caucasian graduating from the Philippines will still be miniscule. So it can’t be realistic.
So now we go back to assume that Terri Hatcher’s character is Neurotic and Racist(which can’t be since this guy was obviously caucasian) =but ok for the sake of argument – then She would have said probably cosen Caribean first, then Indians….lastly Filpinos (i don’t even know how many caucasians study in india). – -

” I never referred to the action of writing the script as spur of the moment; rather,the response of the character was spur of the moment and the writers had to come up with a realistic spur of the moment line” – This is not what I was referring to…but rather

“the scriptwriter had to think of a realistic line and still catch the deadline” = THis one. doesnt it sound nagmamadali to you? – anyway just a minor detail, not really worth dissecting further.

The last line in my last staement –
i just wanted to say as words of wisdom…

by the way, I do enjoy this banter…its quite an intelectual exercise…don’t you think?

If I was a scriptwriter, and I was asked to make a line that would best fit Teri Hatcher’s character in the show, what would I put? Knowing that indeed this character can be so neurotically racist, and knowing that the States is indeed flooded with Pinoy MDs? I’d put that line so that it best reflects reality, and so that my TV show would win awards.

Thanks for always commenting and hitting my blog! Hehehe!!!

“you win when you create a TV show so close to reality, it becomes a real reflection of society”

Now look at your next line

” even if more white IMGs study in the Carribean, that doesn’t remove the fact the Phils is the no. 2 supplier of US health workers”

So does it still reflect reality? or close to it? Possibly, but less plausible if you really think about it…

“realistic line and still catch a deadline”

It was a season Premier – I do think they have lots of time to think about it…to edit…So many are involve in this production…3x bigger than any Filipino TV production…since they have the money…If they had 1 scriptwriter…low budget…I’d say you maybe right…

“Lastly, “those who understand” are NEVER restricted to those inside the circle… what do we have impartial third-parties for???”

Read my last comment again. I never “restricted” to what you or anybody want to believe. I said you are part of those who do not understand (judging from some mistakes in your statement) because you lack some facts. Now don’t get me wrong that I have so much against people who don’t agree with my views…I’ve learned a lot from them as well….Well thought of ideas are worth listening and reading to, rather than “spur of the moment” thing
