It's simply annoying that they have that careless remark for the medical schools in the country. The truth hurts, for them I mean, because we have the most efficient professional health workers in the world. Countries abroad are our main clients when it comes to medical profession because they know that we are efficient in rendering such kind of service. On such note, it is just appropriate that they apologize to us for such remark.

Now they can really be called desperate.

I think complaining about the offensive scene in the Desperate Housewives is a normal and proper thing to do. The medical profession and those who felt insulted by the offensive scene is right on track to express their disapproval of the negative swipe against the Philippine medical education.

Although I don’t dispute that we can be open to and accept criticisms especially on those that have some basis that doesn’t mean that we’ll just keep quiet even if something said or done against us needs to be corrected.

Another sad angle on this issue is the reaction of some Filipinos who are obviously confuse with what is sweeping generalization to a specific and clear criticisms of valid facts. Unless explained we’ll never know what the basis of that offensive DH scene was.

its sad that just for being realistic.,we give up logic.

exactly, logic will tell us that we somehow deserve it. get the point sir?

Tommy Hilfiger is just one name. FILIPINOS mean one nation.

What are you talking about? He meant the entire Filipino nation when he made his comment. I don't get you.

^^Maski na bai, whether it's the result of the nursing leakage issue or not, di unta angayan because they're not only hitting the credibility (that if it's really the result of the leakage issue) but the dignity of Filipinos as well. Take note that by saying "med schools in the Philippines", di lang med schools in the Philippines ang affected ani but the whole Filipino community. Kung media man ang sad-an, then diha ra unta kutob, di na nila sakyan. If it was intended for humor, too bad, it didn't sound funny, it's insulting. For whoever is responsible for such a line, I presume he/she is a professional. Yet where's the courtesy?

Ana kagamay ilang tan-aw sa mga Pinoy? Haven't they realized kung unsa kadakong tabang ang nahatag sa Pilipinas sa America?

sakto ka bro, and the genre of the show is not comedy!

What about Miriam saying that Corruption originated from China?

Miriam = Desperate Housewife

OT:

I am not for Miriam. Though her statements were sweeping just like Hatcher, it is also somewhat true. That's of course my opinion.

Have you ever heard of the saying, "There are 3 ways of doing things: My way, Your Way & the Chinese way." I think I do not need to explain this.

Though not all Chinese are doing it but they are known for it. Just like the case of fraternities. It's simply human nature and we don't have to react to it everytime.

i'm a patriot but i am also a realist. though it is wrong to make such a sweeping statement, who can blame them?

as one who commented on you tube said,

• it is just so trivial

• as if we don't make similar jokes on Americans all the time

• we are paranoid, oversensitive whiners who has to rant about everything

• humor can be dangerous if one lacks it

it's not like when Tommy Hilfiger said that he did not make his clothes for Filipinos, now that's another thing. well for me, if that dyslexic homosexual does not like me wearing his creation then to hell with him.

sakto imong points bro but the genre of their show is not comedy, no need to adlib some punchline or anything that could humor the viewers..and the scenario is not in anyway funny since Susan was talking to a doctor who was telling her of a medical condition...it's way way uncalled for!

ABC apologizes http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071004...m_071004015434

But the damage has been done...if there's any.

[borgy1981]

dont hate teri. im not a fan but shes just a puppet. she just reads and acts out whats in the script. i go for banning the whole show and the script writer.

but every actor has the right not to disclose explicitly what is written on the script especially if it can affect her image or a direct derogatory remark
