[...] course, this is not the first time this happened. At the height of the Chip Tsao hullaballoo and Adam Carolla brouhaha, I harped on how satire has the tendency – if not the intention – to hit a raw nerve. [...]

[...] Then again, the outrage of at least a dozen bloggers out there is not because of the truth – or the absence of it – in Carolla’s sweeping generalization, but because the statement hits, once again, a raw nerve. Read more. [...]

Though I agree that we Filipinos should be more concerned with the troubling concerns we encounter everyday, it would almost be a sin to simply ignore Carolla’s comments. So i-blog na lang natin ang galit, hehehe.

I disagree with you completely, we have a lot to be proud of pacquiao is only one of them. if you feel that it is only pacquiao I pity you. you need a deep soul searching of you being a filipino. if you can’t see it then you are a fool .

Who cares what this guy is saying anyway? I certainly don’t know him until I drop by this post.

At some point, if we look into ourselves, we’ll realize that somehow other race’s observation of us are true and these sometimes are products of their perceptions of ours because of the media that sensationalizes sensitive issues and blatantly broadcast them across the globe without even considering the impact it will have on our identity as a nation.

Each of us behave differently in various situations and I assume that even you as a blogger limits the information you share online and I have nothing against that because we still have our own privacy considerations. On the other hand, it can be attributed to managing reputation.

We don’t always have to share what we know and what we’re made of unless we’re up to a publicity stunt. Ironic as it may sound but even reality shows don’t reveal the bad side of things or basically don’t spoil their secret. They leave it to the viewers to think until their brains bleed but disclosure is not part of their vocabulary.

If we analyze things, then it boils down to making ourselves come out clean though it doesn’t mean that we have to lie and pretend that there’s nothing wrong, sometimes it’s better to keep our mouth shut than be perceived wrongfully.

However, we can always fight back but then again, will this even bring us any benefit? In the end, it’s educating the world about us–our culture and our identity as a nation that will help other nationalities truly understand where we’re coming from.
