Spell "Remittance" - capital "LBC"

[samsungster]

VIRAC, Catanduanes -- The provincial board of this province has passed a resolution calling on the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Movie and Television Classification and Review Board (MTRCB) to cause the correction or pullout of what it said was a “misleading” and “improper” television advertisement of a remittance company.
In his privilege speech during the regular session last week, Board Member Ariel Molina said the LBC commercial, in which game show host Edu Manzano asked the boy to spell the word "remittance" and the boy answered “LBC,” was not a good example for children.
“The education department, particularly Secretary Jesli Lapus, should immediately take steps to correct the wrong message of the ad,” Molina said.

His colleague, Joseph Mendoza, Liga ng mga Barangay (League of Villages) Federation president, called on the MTRCB to ban the TV advertisement outright by ordering TV stations to stop the airing of the commercial.
Board Member Shirley Araojo-Abundo also supported the move, saying the alarming LBC spot was similar to a powdered laundry soap ad in which a mother said that one was greater than two.
“Hindi po ito maiintindihan ng mga bata [Children will not understand this],” she said.
Board Member Edwin Tanael, acting vice governor, warned that the advertisement, which have been aired on prime time, would corrupt the minds of thousands of children usually watching at these hours.

i think it's not the only commercial that promotes "dumbing-down" of children these days...
but the bad thing about this one is that the commercial is using children...

kudos to jonhson and johnson commercials... most family-friendly commercials around...

"Love spells trouble."

"Efficiency spells success."

"Remittance spells LBC."


Does it make sense? You judge.

Exactly. Instead of teachers becoming too simplistic, they might as well study their dictionaries some more.

Personally, I also think the example is not good for children because they may interpret it in so many ways. And one of them is making it appear that one can be good in spelling even if they already misspelled the word.

The producers of these commercials should think of other creative ways of endorsing their products. For the meantime, the parents of these children who will be able to watch the commercials should explain to their children that they should not believe everything they watch. But if the authorities could do something about this, it would be more welcoming.

^Educators should see it as an opportunity to discuss language in class.

Teacher: Class, have you seen that LBC commercial? How is the word "spell" used here? Okay let's explore the word. Open your dictionaries....

Else our children will just be limited to "Remittance is spelled R-E-M...."

they should put PG warning before the ad.
