Pinoys in Bakersfield upset with Desperate Housewives
A few weeks ago the show berated the quality of education of our Philippine educated doctors. As a result of that 20-second clip pinoys around the world banded together to condemn the remark and demanded for swift justice to be served. An apology from ABC was offered but pinoys wanted that the offensive clip be removed and an on-screen apology be made in an episode. I took interest in the matter for a while and since then just took a passive stance.
It's great that pinoys were upset about the incident. It's good that they were able to make ABC realize their mistake. It's good that they were able to get an apology. But after that, what's next?
I thought that the issue, although global, was not making the rounds in Bakersfield. Until I found that a local station affiliated with ABC did an article about the reaction of pinoys in the city. Read the article here.
What's interesting to me is Filipinos in Bakersfield are active in the community. I haven't been seeing them a whole lot but it's nice to note that every so often Juan dela Cruz shows up in the radar.
My next project is to find out what he's been up to lately.
