Ang pinaglalaban nyo sa harap ng abc7 ay pagpapakita na defensive ang inyong reaction. Instead of bringing the issue in a right professional approach ginagwa nyong liwasang bonifacio ang harapan ng abc7. Ipakita nyo na masmataas ang alam nyong approach kaysa magsisisigaw na parang mga batang matigas ang ulo!

For your information, this was just a picket. ABC has been approached beforehand through proper professional channels so don't worry, the fil-am leaders in the U.S. know the appropriate official avenues for airing the demands. The most important thing is we don't lose focus of the goal. Maraming salamat.

@TheGadjodilo ..Amen and thats the truth! Im a 3 generation and you just get sick and tired of the inferiority complexes and the lives it tends to ruin....only way is find a way let go and let god.honestly!

[TheGadjodilo]

the Flips have extreme inferiority complexes, it comes from hundreds of years of colonialism, sometimes this comes out under this Filipino Pride form, they take it too serious, and they refuse to heal themselves, I would call them stubborn in their stupidity

i think what abc done on that show its completely wrong . and may be even a calculated attack on the philippines. some tv shows are propaganda tools .

has abc apologised yet does anyone know.

[clarkyjustin]

racism goes on all the time in the philippines....the people who are light skin look down on anyone who isnt light or white skin...just take a look at all the actors/actresses in the philippines...they all look alike...you cant even get a good job if you have a not so white/light complexion...

and these folks are worried about a television show that you know they watch and love...

I am exhorting you Filipinos who are born in the U.S. to participate in politics (Filipino bloods runs through your veins-your race is Filipno). Yes, as mcbong stated; but not that we don't like americans only those who are arrogant & abusive (racist). There is bad in anyone Americans or Filipinos but to protect the race from abuse and introduce and support legislation run for office. America is a land of opportunity, take the chance, especialy you Fil-Ams who acknowledges your noble race
