GMA's Arnold Clavio is a racist and typical crab, Football Federation files complaint

[janiks]

i doubt if mag silbe ba ang mga pinoy if pure breed pinoy ang ipang apil. di man gani magsilbe sa basketball bisan grabe ka hilig og basketball ang mga pinoy.

kani ingani pag ka storya mao ni tawag racist kalia kang pacman bai? naa buh xa dugo lain? awa asa xa karon zzz paeta

All of us are racist at some degree... For the sake of naay ika "istorya", as what this site is all about; it was all sensationalized commentary/reporting which is sooo damn popular in our country kai mao mai mohalin sad gud =). Comments from journalists like Arnie (he looks like Barnie to some degree), who is pretty well known locally, which is deemed racist and is done in a sensationalized manner SELLS!!! It's all business as usual. It stirred the h3ll out of almost everyone who's into football and that is exactly what's needed for guys like Arnie and the rest of the band wagon and their respective tv stations to stay in the competition - cutthroat media programming. As for the alleged "sexist and demeaning behaviour" it could be trueo (we weren't there) but the right thing to do was to report the incident to the right officials within the football institution (whatever the h3ll the name of that is). But then again in a country where the motivation is almost always "political" the best way to get instant attention is go directly to media. So whether ventriloquist journalist Barnie makes a racist comment, relax, grab some beer, some chips, sit back enjoy the show...

Oh by the way, no complaint or lawsuit has been filed against the Azkals members which is forcing me to conclude that it was all for publicity...

hello, i read in the other thread that you read a lot, that you will teach your future kids to read a lot as well?

well, if you did some reading you would have surely known that some of the azkals has been playing in the PHL national team since the time that only hard core football fans knew them, wayback the time when most high school girls would ask 'what the f*uck is football'?

if you have read news the other day, you would have known that PHL Azkals will be playing a semi final match in the AFC Suzuki Cup later - THE FIRST FOR THE PHILIPPINES. so, i don't know what is significant for you.

sexual harassment is sexual harassment.
racism is racism.

and lol to the poster who said the azkals should act like a Filipino as if walay Filipino nga mang sexual harass.

by saying i read a lot, that does not mean i READ EVERYTHING. it jst so happens that im not a sports person so i dont follow news on basketball, football, etc coz it's not my thing and they dont interest me. but in the very few articles ive read and interviews that ive seen, labi nanang mga showbiz related, mao na akong nafeel nga murag pangartista kaayo ilang linihukan. and kana pa gyud mga nanggawas nga issues like kadtong rape, then kaning issue sa sexual harrassment. negative lng gyud kaayo ilang dating para nko. that's jst me ha and maybe maong dili kaayo ko muhatag ug weigh nila bcoz like i said sports is not my thing. unya wla mna nko sila gigeneral, ingon pa gani ko naay tarong pro murag dghan lgn gyud pud ug mga garaon. so probably kanang giingon nimo nga mga serious gyud sa craft, mao na ang mga tarong pro nasagulan lng gyud sila ug bad apple maong damay silang tanan sa bad publicity.

i hope lng kaning issue about racism dili matabunan tong issue sa harrassment kay dapat mas tgaan tog weight.

In the name of responsible journalism, it isn't the case.

i hope lng kaning issue about racism dili matabunan tong issue sa harrassment kay dapat mas tgaan tog weight.

i think this thread was intended to backfire clavio's racist comments which eventually boils down to something out of the context of the real issue which he even acknowledged as per his official statement below. a definite lesson to all media men and practitioners.

Mga igan, nakakalungkot na may negatibong reaksyon ang naging pahayag ko tungkol sa Philippine Azkals kaugnay ng sexual harassment complaint ni Ms. Cristy Ramos. Wala po akong ganoong intensyon. Ang isyu po rito ay sexual harassment at kung may nagamit man po akong mga salita na hindi angkop, nagpapakumbaba po ako at humihingi ng pang-unawa. Dun naman po sa mga kasama kong nanindigan laban sa sexual harassment, maraming salamat po. Seryoso pong isyu ito na dapat bantayan.

-Arnold Clavio

Although Clavio's statements seem like bigotry, I hope we stick to the heart of the issue which is sexual harassment. So ok lang mangharass bsta azkal?

[mckoy_slipstream]

the comment is not racist at all, it was an honest opinion of a tv host, it was unscripted. he was trying to say na dili pinoy culture ang kinalakihan sa majority sa azkals.

even the fhm cover of bella padilla is not racist, but others just made a big issue out of it.

[istoryamember]

The truth hurts... but what really hurts and funny is the shallowness of some fans and how they understand Tagalog... What arnold clavio means about Filipino was not about the blood that flow through their veins and the legality of their citizenship and if they can speak a local dialect but the characteristics and manners of being a Filipino that was raised here.

Ako na suwat ug english para makasabot mo. kung bisaya pa... lahi sila ug breeding kaysa mga tao na hidako nganhi.. so asa man part sa ako hisulti racist ug crab mentality?

mao ni pinakasakto! OA ra kaayo ang fans. Murag sunod2x pud sila sa laing nasod ba nga makigpatay para sa ilang futbol idols. Paita bitaw aning uban nato nga mga pinoy oi adto man laban sa mga half breeds hahahaha IMO
