The Daily Show Says Cory Aquino a Slut.

If you have not watched the video, I’d say better watch it first before making a comment.

When I heard this news, labeling Former President Aquino a “Slut” in The Daily Show (a US-based entertainment show by Jon Stuart), Pinoy Ambisyoso, “I bet this would be another blockbuster hit for Pinoy Bloggers around the world.”

Is this another case of Malou Fernandez or Desperate Housewives? By this time, i guess we make up our minds. For all we know, Mrs. Aquino is definitely not a slut. She is known to be a highly respected individual, religious and with a decent upbringing.

A slut according to dictionary.com is an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute.

The news came out and if you search the internet, people are fuming mad again. Over and over. In my opinion, is it because the issue came out while the issue of Desperate Housewives is still in the oven?

Say yes because the issue is as good as the DH’s?

Look at this photo?

Did you see any discrimination? Maybe? Go to a comedy bar, you’ll hear from the stand-up comedians of slurs to different people like politicians, actors, and other known individuals and what do we do? We just laugh on it because we know for a fact it’s merely a joke. Right?

Sometimes people are “just” over reacting to the issue. An exaggeration that we feel backstabbing us. Open your minds people. Should you broaden your knowledge about this issues? Are you just hallucinating? The Filiipino people nowadays are mature enough on facing relevant issues in our country. Let’s focus on it.

I’ve watched the video and I find it really funny. Really! It’s a video with a substance. The issue behind the question, Is America ready for a woman President?

I believe humor is sometimes insulting and yet degrading. Humor to different people is being understood in various meanings. And humor should be delivered in proper place.

And if there are people who deserves an apology, it should be the Former President Cory Aquino and her family. Peace!

The Sandigan Bayan court said, Former Philippine President, Guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

Ngayong umaga napanuod ko ang hatol kay Erap, Guilty ang binigay sa kanyan ng Sandigan Bayan. Tama ang aking hinala. Sa kabilang banda, nakakalungkot din naman dahil sa kanyang edad naparusahan ang dating Pangulo ng ating bansa sa mga paratang na idiniin sa kanya. Siya ay nabigyan ng Life Imprisonment Reclusion Perpetua, paliwanag ni Fortun, hindi ito pang habambuhay na pagkabilanggo, siya ay makukulong ng maximum na 40 years. Kung iisipin, parang habambuhay na din dahil matanda na si Erap (70 years old) at halos duon na lamang nya hihintayin ang kanyang kamatayan.

Behind Wilyonaryo’s Game

This afternoon, Willie Revillame came out in the middle of the show explaining the real mechanics of the game called “Wilyonaryo”. He admitted that there are really two numbers contained inside the controversial wheel and further claimed that’s for their protection. The contestant then may choose winame or wilyonaryo, if the contestant opt to choose winame, then he will go home with the amount offered by the show, but if he chooses wilyonaryo, the wheel now be opened to reveal the prize. When the game ends, this time, Willie may choose to reveal the 2 million prize or nothing.

Seems confusing? People now may not agree with the game’s mechanics. That the wheel should contain only one number instead of two to avoid manipulation. If this is the rule of the game, does it mean that the show can manipulate whether the constestant will win or lose? nothing or 2 million?

This controversy has gone a long way and affected so much the public especially the viewers. The issue here isn’t the war between the two networks nor the feud between Joey and Willie. It’s all about how the game really works in a manner that people wouldn’t think it’s not manipulated by the people behind the game.

Now we are told about the mechanics of the game, do you think it’s really an honest mistake? or simply a scam?

This afternoon i was talking to my friend Sweden who’s living in Australia and at the height of our conversation she mentioned about this Malu Fernandez who’s been the most hated person in the blogosphere for days now. She mentioned that she can’t remember what’s the issue all about. Then i became curious who is this Malu Fernandez. So i searched google and found out that i was really left behind about the issue. Huh! For God sake, it happened when my laptap broke and needed a repair at the HP service center in Makati.

August 29, 2007, This afternoon Willie Revillame had spoken and opened up regarding this controversy and it turned out so emotional during the opening of his show ‘Wowowee’. He felt sorry and made a public apology already. This may seem acceptable on part of other people who are in the audience and those watching at home. Willie was totally irked and cannot avoid himself to talk about Joey De Leon’s - who keep on bullying him. Willy said, he respect Joey’s opinion but his ‘pasaring’ were totally below the belt. Willie decided to come out of the show and clear all that matters. Evidently, the Wowowee host’s apologies were already forgiven.

As we all know, the show is not merely a show to make other people cry, laugh and entertain but i, as an audience, i believe that the show is an instrument to help our fellow Pinoys to at least lessen their burden in their fight for poverty.

The Wowowee show, from Willie Revillame and to all the staff, we are proud of you guys.

You are truly Proud Pinoys!

Speculations regarding Wowowee’s Wilyonaryo episode last August 20, a scam or just a mere mistake? This video from youtube.com have been circulating in the internet and received negative reactions from the people who watched it.

Well, the show has all the rights to explain what really happened and viewers has the right to hear it as well. I know this issue will soon be cleared. So, let’s just wait.

The ‘Wilyonaryo’ segment was first launched last Saturday, August 18, 2007 replacing ‘Pera o Bayong’.
