Stupid Movie


Senator slams "ethnic slur" in Judy Anne's movie.

I am glad I didn't watch Sakal Sakali Saklolo starred by Judy Anne Santos and Ryan Agoncillo. Maayo nalang gyud.
I would have been like a rapper cussing because gi insulto tang mga bisaya. Sapoton ra ba gyud ko basta daug-daugon ta.

I wish they could have been sensitive enough especially when it comes to ethnic relation. The below excerpt is insulting, defamatory and discriminatory to all Visayans.
The message conveys that if a person is not Tagalog or Tagalog -speaking, then he is not a Filipino. Nabuang na!

I therefore protest this film and petition that it should be banned from the movies and TV.
Below is an excerpt from the said film that goes like this:

Yaya to grandchild: “Ayaw ug dagan, basin madam-ag ka.”

Grandchild: “Kadyut lang, nagduwa pa ko.”

(Grandfather with bulging eyes grimaces incredulously at the Visayan words of his grandson.)

Yaya: “Anhi dinhi.”

Grandmother (with a pained expression) to Grandfather: “Carlo, did you hear that?”

Mother: Ay naku Ma. Nakuha ho niya ‘yon sa yaya niya. Sinabihan na namin si Susan na huwag niyang Binibisaya si Rafa. Dapat Tagalog.”

Grandmother: “But the boy should be talking in English.”

Mother: “Hayaan niyo na sa eskwelahan matutunan ‘yon Ma. Dapat Tagalog kasi Pinoy ang anak namin eh.”
