Another season of the hit reality TV show “Survivor”, especially the US series at the Philippine islands particularly at the Caramoan Islands in Camarines Sur; wherein then there is also a “Survivor” international franchise which held their location on the Philippine archipelago, that is the France franchise: “Koh-Lanta” at Palawan Island which then the “Survivor USA” back out of their supposed “Survivor” location at Culion, Palawan Philippines due to some reasons.

However, now the “Survivor US” has come back into the Philippines to taped or film their latest survivor season at Caramoan Islands, season Twenty Five(25th season);wherein the French version, “Koh-Lanta”, held their location also during their eight season last 2008 from July 4 to September 20.

The Caramoan Island or the Caramoan Peninsula in the Philippines is a separated island from Camarines Sur with hilly-rocky partly terrain located near-east of Camarines Sur, Philippines.

The island have National Park that have caves, limestone formations, white sand beaches, a lake and a subterranean river where most tourist pay visit with. Moreover, since it is a famous tourist spot, it has some resorts like Gota Village Resort, Rex Tourist Inn and Roa Pension House.

Thus, it seems, the latest season of Survivor US is not far away from civilization but just on the civilization itself pretending to be cast always for the Caramoan Island or Caramoan Peninsula in Camarines Sur is a famous tourist spot in the Philippines. Moreover, that is why the Camarines or CamSur governor is delighted to have the Survivor team and contestants in the island because it will boost tourism revenues and some tourist will be curious and excited to see or take or peek the reality show though it may be restricted to take a peek; that is an added attraction of local and foreign tourists.

Caramoan Islands is the top pick destinations of the latest season of Survivor USA or Survivor US, as well as their 26th season because not only of its natural beauty and perfect forest location but also the French franchise has proven it to be perfect location for survivor stints so also other international survivor franchises that follows the French franchise during 2009;the Survivor franchise of Bulgaria “Survivor : Conquering Asia-Philippines : Season Four(4) that have shot from May to July 2009 and was aired at the fall of 2009; the Survivor franchise of Serbia “Survivor: Srbija : Philippines or Season Two(2) during the summer of 2009 created by Vision Team company and broadcast by Fox Televizija; the Survivor franchise of Sweden “Expedition Robinson”, season 2010.

Sweden’s Survivor franchise was renamed into “Expeditiu Robinson” so as to create their own and reflect their culture and alludes the “Robinson Crusoe” and The Swiss Family Robinson, which are the two stories featuring people marooned by shipwrecks; it has a female hosts not to other franchise or international version which has or have male hosts.

The Denmark Survivor franchise Robinson Ekspeditionen or the Robinson Ekspeditionen 2011 or Robinson: All or Nothing which is the fourteenth season of the Danish version adopted from the Swedish version of the original US TV Reality Show “Survivor”,” Expedition Robinson”, was also film and shot at Caramoan Island or Caramoan Peninsula of the Philippine Islands or Philippine archipelago at Camarines Sur.

The Denmark version of the US Reality TV Show “Survivor” which held its fourteenth version at the Caramoan Islands of the Philippines during 2011 was also followed by another European version; that is the Norway version of the popular TV series.

The Norway version which is “Robinsonekspedisjonen” also adopted the Sweden and Denmark version, thus it has also a “Robinson Crusoe” format.

The eleventh season of the Norwegian version: Robinsonekspedisjonen 2011 – premier last September 4, 2011 and finish early December and was held at Caramoan Islands in the Philippines.

Then, after the Norwegian version which has a “Robinsoe Crusoe” format, the Belgium follows thru.

The Belgium version which is titled “Expeditie Robinson” or the Expeditie Robinson 2011,the thirteenth season of the Belgium version of the “Survivor” series was also film or shot at Caramoan Islands of the Philippines and was aired on September 1,2011 from the RTL5 and 2BE Reality television.

Then, an Asian version follow the same location; the Indian version: Survivor India – The Ultimate Battle, or Survivor India : Caramoan Island, the Indian version of the world hit TV series “Survivor” was also based on the European version, that is the “Expedition Robinson”
Survivor India: Caramoan Islands is India’s first season of the Survivor series which was filmed during the summer of 2011 and will be aired from January 6, 2012.

Therefore, from a lot of survivor series held mostly at Caramoan Islands of the Philippine archipelago; what more Camarines Sur could ask for in terms of Tourism revenue: Caramoan Islands will survive the tsunami of profits or tourism revenue.

Idol by every sports enthusiasts in the world because of his power punch fist but doubted by athlete’s analyst regarding the issue of the power vitamins he take and criticized sharply by his boxing opposing Mayweather for using illegal athlete’s drugs, as well as his critics and detractors because of his dubious winning streaks.

Previously then, he was mocked by some Filipinos in the Philippines regarding his stand on the “Reproductive Health Bill” or “RH Bill” issue showing his own stupidity basing his own opinion regarding the “Reproductive Health Bill” or “RH Bill” issue on bible verses alone; now another power punch has sit him right on his face.

His homophobic, heartless and idiot remarks regarding homosexuals and same sex marriage that they must be “put to death” because the Bible says so has spill the fresh hot soup of beans right in front of his own cold face which lead the homosexual community around the world to boycott him and make an online petition not to support him and drop him as endorser of Nike wherein the employees on the Nike company are mostly gays.

Here are his remarks that incensed the gay community:

He quoted a Biblical verse following Barack Obama’s announcement of support for same-sex marriage that according to him homosexuals should be put to death : ““God’s words first … obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man…. should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old…..’.. If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads,’..”

Meanwhile here the statements of others who were dismayed by Manny Pacquioa’s remarks:

“Nike is a multi-billion dollar industry and [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender] people contribute billions to this company. It is completely unacceptable that such a high-profile company should be sponsoring a boxer who is encouraging violence towards LGBT people. Tell Nike to drop its sponsorship..”

“No one who is a public figure, and or, a role model to people, especially children, can be allowed to call for the death of others. I am saddened by his closed-mindedness, but am horrified if Nike keeps him on as a spokesperson after such a violent comment, and violent view point,”

“…This is abominable! Probably a closet-case himself! SIGNED AND SHARED!!!

“…I’m honored to have the first signature. Nike should be ashamed for sponsoring such an intolerant, dimwitted, and frankly closed-minded individual. Obviously Manny has been hit in the head one to many times in the ring..”

“…..As a Filipino and as a mother, I am deeply disappointed and outraged at Manny’s inexcusable comments. Freedom of speech also comes with the sense to be responsible for your words, to think before you speak. Considering how many look up to him, many of them children, there is no excuse for this. Nike should not sponsor someone with this kind of hatred and ignorance towards others…”

“….I am 14 out of the closet bisexual..
This guy was my hero..
hearing this legit killed me oh well! ….”

“..Signed and spread all across facebook , this is ridiculous.. Perhaps big mouthed bigots should be put to death!..”

“Based on news reports of statements made by Mr. Pacquiao we have made it be known that he is not welcome at The Grove and will not be interviewed here now or in the future. The Grove is a gathering place for all Angelenos and not a place for intolerance.”

“..Although he doesn’t explicitly say it, Pac does cite Leviticus–implicitly suggesting gays should be put to death…”

“..Stand with millions of LGBT and fair minded-people the world over. Drop Manny Pacquiao now. Hatred surely does not = Nike..”

And other comments of people regarding Manny Pacquioa’s remarks regarding same-sex marriage.

Although he denied quoting the Leviticus book of the Bible wherein the hatred toward homosexuals is written, he cannot deny that his statements already says it so; how IDIOT he is!

However, lately he apologizes but still sarcastic and offensive of his opinions regarding gays and same-sex marriage, “…I’m not against gay people… We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical off (sic) are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God…”

Thus, he indeed from his heart Hate Homosexuals because “the Bible says so..”; how stupid but that is his belief anyway.

Anyway ,here is the petition letter:
“…
End Sponsorship of Homophobic Boxer Manny Pacquiao

NIKE: SAY NO to HATE SPEECH

Boxer Manny Pacquiao (based in LA) has been sponsored by Nike since 2008. Following Obama’s recent announcement of support for marriage equality, Pacquiao quoted bible excerpts to state that homosexuals should be put to death :

If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Nike is a multi-billion dollar industry and LGBT people contribute billions to this company. It is completely unacceptable that such a high-profile company should be sponsoring a boxer who is encouraging violence towards LGBT people. Tell Nike to drop its sponsorship!

Sincerely,
[Your name]
4,000 Signatures Reached! | May 16, 2012 …..”

Consequently, though he may apologize, Manny can no longer bring back the trust of gay community abroad and forever banned on their respective business despite recent reports that his boxing career is still intact and unaffected; that is so because business-minded people wants more profit to profit from him and obviously covering up Manny Pacquioa’s mistake or indeed not mistake at all for he mean it by his heart that homosexuals are not acceptable in the community and must be “put to death” ,”…. like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old…” because the “Christian God” says it so and because it is written in the Bible.

Previous business surveys of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) last year 2011 said that businesses in the Philippines will remain optimistic and will bloom and their ability to generate profit will still be intact; and it is indeed up according to latest business reports.

Investments in the Philippines is up to 25 % percentage increase in April 2012 from “..only P37.56 billion a year ago…” into P133.18 billion as registered in the Board of Investments (BOI).

The increase in investment was brought by two power projects approved by the Board of Investments (BOI) during the month of April. The two power projects are:

(1) The P21.78 billion project of South Luzon Thermal Energy Corp. –It is a company jointly owned by the Ayala group and by the Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corporation.

(2) The P49.45 billion expansion of the 600-megawatt Masinloc coal facility own by Masinloc Power Partners Co.Ltd. The Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd is the Philippine local arm of the US power giant AES Corporation.

Investment pledges or sure investment contracts in the Philippines according from the data of Board Of Investments (BOI) on the first four months of 2012 surged into 158 projects that are expected to generate 22,114 new jobs once these projects become operational.

Biggest investment commitments came from (a.)Electricity (b.) gas (c.) steam sector (d.) air-conditioning sector (e.) real estate and (f.) mining and quarrying.

Moreover, other investment options can also include, according to Trade Undersecretary and Board of Investments (BOI) managing head Adrian S. Cristobal; agribusiness, manufacturing, and tourism.
“We see rising investor interest in strategic sectors such as agribusiness, manufacturing, and tourism. Domestic investors’ confidence in the economy continues to rise, and the same goes from foreign investors for the past four months..”

In other hand, foreign investments grew by 26% in the first four months of 2012 from P8.084 billion last year 2011, into P10.191 billion this year 2012.The greatest contributor of foreign investment came from Thailand, accounting for P3.62 billion for January up to April 2012.

This was seconded by Japan, with P1.02 billion worth of investment pledges which is amounting to 5 or 10 power projects that will generate new jobs for unemployed Filipinos.

Meanwhile, the Board of Investments (BOI) is still pilot-testing some other business sectors like agribusiness, mass housing, and tourism for generation of more investment pledges or investment contracts this year.

The results of pilot-testing “..will determine if the streamlined process can be applied to the rest..” of the type of business sectors that will be applied under Philippine’s blueprint for investment promotions – Investments Priorities Plan.

Is the current Philippine president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III a great fool and troublemaker trying hard to fight the powerful China? How fool is he!

Then, it is the OFWs in China involved on drug muling were sentence to capital punishment or death sentence in China without thorough investigation if they are really involved on the allegations of drug trafficking with PNoy just smirk and do not do anything to save his/her fellow Filipinos [?](actually, he is half-Pinoy and half-Chinese) due to August 23,2011 botched rescue of the Chinese nationals which he snob to give them a consolation and public apology for their lost love ones; and hypocritically visit China for said peace talks for the Spratlys island yet China just trick him and make him dupe for China is still firm in its decision to claim the Sparatlys islands and now the Philippines suffer the consequences of the fury of China because of Noynoy who is “Noynoying” and making rounds of lies ,hypocrisy and arrogance.
The latest curse of China is damp and make it rot the Philippine bananas on the Sino port by refusing the Philippine bananas to be imported into their land; not to mention the impending war of China against Philippine due to Scarborough Shoal issue.

The president of Pilipino Banana Growers and Exporters Association which consist of 18 Mindanao company expressed dismay with the reaction of the Chinese authorities, : “..Mindanao exporters feel we are being harassed…” and state that the banana industry have lost 1 billion.

“I hope this is really not political because we are in the business. We don’t want to believe that the life of the banana industry is threatened by our country’s problem with China…”

Moreover, the Mindanao businessmen complained that their banana business should not tainted with political issue going on with China and Philippines fueled by both parties but mostly heated and intensified by the foolishness and arrogance of Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III beginning his incompetent management of the August 23, 2011 bus hostage incident which left the innocent Chinese nationals lifeless and not help and snob heartlessly by Noynoy when their families ask for consolation and justice.

The blame for Chinese bullying acts is Noynoy and the Mindanao businessmen should stop complaining regarding Chinese authorities reactions toward their banana business but rather rock the seat of presidency of Noynoy who is making troubles against China wherein China just react naturally to depend itself from stupidity of the current Philippine president, wherein the innocent Filipino citizen suffer the consequences of PNoy’s incompetent ruling and messing up with China.

How Fool is Noy is !

Has anyone knows Claudine nowadays? Since she left the TV network ABS-CBN Channel 2,her career becomes spinning down the drain up into no one already know who she is because rough times just shit(Siete)(7) her when she transfer to GMA Channel 7; from flop TV shows into rumor break-ups with her husband actor Raymart Santiago into financial bankruptcy; from her rumor return to TV network ABS-CBN Channel 2;and now into controversial heat up together with her husband Raymart Santiago with columnist Ramon Tulfo at the arrival area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 last Sunday, May 6,2012.

The brawl started according to reports that when actress Ms. Claudine Barreto reprimanded the flight attendant of the Cebu Pacific Airlines when she found out some of her luggage were missing then she saw an unknown man taking coverage or taking pictures what was happening with her with the flight attendant while she bash loudly in front of the other passengers regarding their missing luggage which according to Ms. Barreto and her group was left or off-loaded by a personnel at Aklan airport without their consent from their Boracay trip when they arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 thru Cebu Pacific Airlines.

Her husband actor Raymart Santiago or Martin Santiago in real life confronted the unknown man taking advantage of her wife bashing acts and found out to be the columnist Ramon Tulfo who happens to be on the arrival area also from his trip from Davao. According to columnist Ramon Tulfo, at first he felt pity for what happened to celebrity couple Raymart and Claudine but change his heart when he saw the tongue lashing acts of Ms. Barreto to an ordinary flight attendant and then took advantage the incident as a journalist who seeks interesting, controversial and juicy reports.

Who the first who took the punch and skirmish was not yet known for the incident is still under investigation, however, both parties blame it’s the other party who started the brawl, thus both file counter charges. Sad to say the incident was not caught by a close circuit television (CCTV) cameras according to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 manager Octavio Lina.

The incident is now the talk of the town and actress Ms. Claudine Barreto’s career just become worst because of the said incident or brawl. Her showbiz career just become more “Shit”(Siete :7) since she transfer to GMA Channel 7 for if it is not why her showbiz becomes lie low.

More unpleasant incidents involving her, her Philippine showbiz career will become doom or she will become one of the forgotten actresses on the Philippine entertainment industry.

Why does sometimes Filipinos reacts as if they are the only race being trodden down by other races in regards to working abroad and create a sympathy that OFWs are modern day Filipino heroes?
Why create a self-pitiful and poor self-image and accept the reality that if their work ethics is wrong, then it is wrong; accept it; why felt insecure?

Lately, the Philippine embassy in Washington D.C. demand public apology from council member of the District of Columbia name Marion Barry for criticizing their local hospitals for hiring Filipino nurses.

According to the report Marion Barry’s statement includes insinuation against Filipino nurses to be not trustworthy in terms of nursing patients and unprofessional in their dealings with patients and suggest that the District of Columbia should hire their own local registered nurses instead rather than hiring foreign nurses.

Barry was firm in his statement that he will not do a public apology for the Filipino nurses for he said what he utter is right and true that Asians just work to meet their American dreams and he just promote patrioticism and nationalism on his own District and his statement was taken out of context.

Here what Council member of the District of Columbia Marion Barry said: ““In fact, it’s so bad, that if you go to the hospital now, you’ll find a number of immigrants who are nurses, particularly from the Philippines. And, no offense, but let’s grow our own nurses, so that we don’t have to be scrounging around in our community clinics and other kinds of places, having to hire people from somewhere else,”

However, in contrast, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Cuisia, states that Barry’s remarks are “intolerant” and “narrow-minded” and defended the Filipino nurses: “..“Filipino nurses are known to be competent, hardworking, caring, and possess good work ethic. These are some of the reasons why most patients prefer and trust them. Like many good citizens, they pay their taxes and contribute to the American economy..”

However, to my own opinion and experience with registered Filipino nurses, there is some part Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Cuisia’s statement which are not true. Some registered Filipino nurses are sometimes reliant to what they only learn from their courses within the University they have taken their nursing career; and lacks experience and expertise and proficiency.

So, is not only right that Filipino nurses should be criticized? It is the lacking of the Philippine government why registered Filipino nurses abroad were the eye of criticism or were malign from their foreign bosses and even on foreign community offline and online; few only are successful and commended.

Filipino Nurses should take the criticism an opportunity to work hard and be professional than cry “foul!” and lament and resent it like a little child that wears too much self-pity.

Has the career of the A-list and famous Philippine actress and TV host Ms. Sharon Cuneta on trouble waters upon making a big decision to transfer to third class TV network TV5 from the first class TV network –ABS-CBN channel 2;for she was continually bombarded with bad public criticisms lately because of her transfer to TV5?

She herself admitted that she was affected and annoyed by bad public criticisms on her move and was hurt, “All of a sudden ang sama-sama naming. It’s unfair to us artists, because this is our choice..,ang sakit-sakit naman ng mga paratang..”

Her move to TV 5 was cast in a bad light by those who admire her on the Kapamilya Network (ABS-CBN) as “Mukhang Pera” and was spread on media; prints and online. Her admirers wants her to stay on the Kapamilya Network, thus her sudden move was resented by her admirers for, for 23 years she was in the Kapamilya Network and they was hurt by her move which Ms. Cuneta could not comprehend why some react this way and that and in the same way her admirers on the Kapamilya Network could not comprehend why also.

“Nasaktan ako kasi some people thought it was the one billion..I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I get labeled mukhang pera…..Pinaghirapan ko naman ito for more than 30 years..”, she confessed.

However, though she transfer to TV5 she has no any resentment or hurt feelings toward her former bosses in the Kapmilya Network, as well as also her former bosses in the Kapamilya Network toward her; they respect her decision as she respect them.

It is only the public that is making noise regarding her transfer to TV5, but however, it is the public itself who make her Star and famous Celebrity.

Thus, if she was continually cast upon a bad light by public viewers, her TV career or her career itself will be really on the bad luck since her new show in TV 5,which entitled : “ Sharon: Kasama Mo,Kapatid” is similar to her talk show on the Kapamilya Network. “ …I thought I deserved, and wanted my name on my show again. And it was TV 5 that gave it to me..”

Seems like another Willie and Wowowee transferring into TV5 as Willie and Willing-Willie and because of bad publicity it was reformatted into Wil Time Bigtime; so what will happen to Ms. Cuneta if her new show on TV 5 is a copy cat; “You are (It is) nothing but a second-rate, trying hard copycat!” Let us see what will happen on her second-rate copycat TT show on TV 5..

Has GMA 7, one of leading TV network in the Philippines lying all this time that they are the number one and leading TV network in the entire Philippines presenting ratings report to validate their claim of TV supremacy on Philippine Television yet they themselves claim that their net income has drop drastically from P2.82 billion in 2010 into P1.72 billion in 2011?

“Our net income took a beating..We experienced the lowest net income level, of the past 5 years in the 4th quarter of 2011..”,admitted and verified by GMA Channel 7 vice president for finance, Ronaldo P. Mastrili.

Added to that, the GMA 7 “Kapuso” chair and CEO Felipe L. Gozon is sure to sell the TV network to PLDT/Smart/Sun/TV5’s chair and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan for P60 billion pesos but Pangilinan wants to buy the TV network between P45 billion pesos and P51 billion pesos.
Morever, GMA 7 advertising revenue has dropped into P13.08 billion pesos.

The sell of GMA 7 according to GMA Network president Gilberto Duavit Jr. is inevitable. “The is not to say that GMA 7 will not be sold, but at the moment we are presently not pursuing serious negotiations with the PLDT group because they have not offered us a price that is acceptable to our shareholders..”

But in contradictory report, GMA 7 executives says that the TV network is not for sale, however, they themselves claim that it can sold if the price is right. Therefore, GMA channel 7 is indeed for sale and GMA channel 7 is indeed lying that they rule the Philippine Televison.

For if they rule the Philippine Television how come they themselves admit that they lost revenues mostly last year and the TV network is for auction and PLDT/Smart/Sun/TV5 chair and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan is buying the TV network for P60 billion pesos?
However, Chair and CEO of GMA 7 Atty. Felipe Gozon, said in contradictory statements regarding the report or rumor as he said though there are already some proofs that GMA 7 is ready for sale and Manuel V. Pangilinan is buying it.

“…”Out of this world naman yun…That is a very wild rumor.”

“”Kung may mag-o-offer ng P500 billion, kahit tulog ako, gisingin n’yo ako, I will sell.”

Therefore, the rumor is true that it could be the end of GMA 7 or let us see what will happen next though the TV network executives are denying it on media.

Is it right that the Consolidated Mines Inc.(CMI) president blame the lost of national government taxes to illegal mining alone in the Zambales Philippines whereas the Aquino government boast a robust government taxes through thrifting? How is that, if the Aquino government never spent much?

According to the president of the Consolidated Mines, Inc. –one of the Mining company in the Philippines –Benicio Eusebio – “The national government has lost about P10 million in tax revenues, so far, because of the illegal hauling and shipping..” and he accused the Zambales governor Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. of abusing his authority by issuing permits to small-scale mining company and according to Eusebio it is only the Department of Environment and National Resources(DENR) could issue such permit, thus he accused the Zambales governor of allowing what he so-called “illegal mining in the Sitio Coto mineral reservation.

However, the Department of Environment and National Resource (DENR) just issued a cease and desist orders (CDOs) to several small-scale miners and never file a lawsuit to the small-scale miners which the Consolidated Miners, Inc. president Benicio Eusebio complain about even the Zamboanga governor was never touched by the National government?

How can that be that one small-scale miners mining activity has affected national government budget? Has the Pinas lost taxes then?

I know perhaps some of you have already known and notice that the famous hit song of Filipino folk artist Freddie Aguilar “Anak” (Child) conveys wrong message regarding relationship between parents and their children which can be deceitful and misleading to those unsuspecting listeners which they will thought that the song’s message is utterly right and correct whereas the message it conveys definitely fall short of the reality happening between parents and children.

For the song itself promotes domestic tyranny and violence against children by their parents making the parents not liable or responsible to the waywardness of their children but rather put all the entire blame and mistake on the frailness of a child and wash the hands of the parents from their own responsibility and accountability as a parent and guide of their children making the parents infallibly authoritative or an “almighty god” that is not capable of making mistakes.

In particular lyrics of the song, “..Anak, bakit ka nagka ganian?..(child, why have you become like that?)”;the parents hypocritically and blindly ask their child why their child has become wayward on his/her way, as if the parents has nothing to do why their “beloved”(ironically depicted on the song) has gone astray.

For if the parent doesn’t have any mistake and shortcoming to the way they nurture and rear their child and if their child is “beloved”, how come their child act differently from something they have sown to their child as their guide or how come their child has gone astray?

Nope, it is not the environment, it is not the friends or the modern culture a child is exposed with, rather it is the parents’ way and methods of parenting and guiding their child. Parenting is not playing “blame games” .But this usually most parents does when they find their child somewhat astray or stubborn and rebellious. For if they filled their child with overflowing love and affection, will the child not reciprocate the same?

Where in the world that when a farmer planted or sown an apple seeds yet it grows into a mango tree? An apple seed will not become a mango tree!; rather what one sown, so also one will reap!

Thus, there is no one to blame for the waywardness of a child but to his/her parents themselves who leads the child to the wayward direction and molds and creates the child to be rebellious, unloving, disrespectful, etc. It is the kind of parenting is the bottom-line. But the song “Anak”(Child) have miss this point and reality. Actually, it is the parents in the song who should ask forgiveness to their child and not the child who ask forgiveness for the irresponsible parenthood one’s parent parent one to be.

But to say in a song that parents are infallible guides and the wayward attitude of a child is to be blame to the child itself, to others and to elsewhere, is definitely an ignorant assessment of reality in the society.

For parenting is not playing “god’ and “master” over children rather it is becoming a “guide”, a “council”, and a “bestfriend” or as “mother-father(parents)” in their journey in their own chosen way of lives.

But unfortunately, some parents even of course in the Philippines become abusive on their rights over their children and loves to play “god” or “master”; Much even more whenever they heard the song “Anak”(Child) which fattened their authoritative Ego. Thus, attracting and promoting more domestic violence and domestic tyranny. For it creates a thought-virus or a bad Philippine meme to whomever it hears the song if one is ignorant of the reality in the society.

The song should be ban.
