Filipino Slander on Medical Workers-Tagalog

Our nation's four million Filipino-Americans consider this an unnecessary attack on their community and on the Philippine educational system that has produced over 80,000 Fil-Am nurses and doctors serving largely the poor. This slur was such a big blow to thousands of medical workers in the Philippines.

In the ABC-produced episode, Terri Hatcher's character (Susan) was reacting to her gynecologist who suggested that she might be hitting menopause. "Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines," Susan replied.

Kern notes that when President Reagan was shot by an assassin in 1981, Filipino surgeon Jorge Garcia was among the doctors who attended to the wounded president. Ret. Admiral Connie Mariano, a proud Filipino American, was former President Bill Clinton's personal physician. "In both cases, the White House was obviously confident in entrusting the care and well being of the most powerful person in the world to Filipino doctors."
