My friend reports that there is actually a campaign to Not have Charice on the TV musical Glee because she does not have an American accent and is not pretty enough, ergo not a proper “representative” of the Filipino. I hadn’t realized the Philippines was in Scandinavia. (Or Brazil, depending on skin tone.) Excuse me, perky blue-eyed blondes with chiseled features, straight noses and long legs, most Filipinos look like Charice. Perhaps when you are president you can make us wear paper bags on our heads, but for now we are perfectly happy to have someone short, brown, and flat-nosed (pango) out there on the world stage, making the competition sound like they have laryngitis.

Denouncing Charice for her looks is like knocking down Manny Pacquiao for his English pronunciation: It’s beside the point. No one questions the importance of appearance in this image-conscious era, but talent still overrides all other considerations.

Then again the talentless are always resentful.

Bitter much? Dapat sinusuportahan natin ang kapwa natin Pilipino para umangat kaysa sa hinihila natin pababa. Tsk tsk :/ Besides, di pa naman nagsisimula ang second season. Why complain already? See the outcome first.
