Desperate Housewives
When this show originally started, I was a great fan. After the second season, I lost interest in it. Apparently, I was justified in doing so if the writers of this show are now resorting to belittling Filipino doctors. If you have not seen or heard about the season premier, take a look at this clip:

With all the Filipinos working in the US health care system, that was a low blow. There is now a petition being circulated that demands an apology from ABC and Desperate Housewives. The success of this campaign is all dependent on the willingness of the Filipino’s to unify against a common cause.
This is the link to the petition. I urge all my fellow kababayans, and those who oppose any form of discrimination, to rally against the derogatory remarks made on this show. We, Filipinos, must stand together so that our voices will be heard. Please, please sign this petition. Remember, united we stand, divided we fall…..
Until next time. Take care.

A few days ago ABC issued an apology. They are considering deleting this line from future re-runs and the DVD release. : )
