Hi Philippines Blog,
Thanks for your comment. I think it is good to get perspective from everyone. I think your suggestion would be reasonable that I read in your blog. Hopefully, the TV show does it and has the same actress apologize on behalf of the show.
Cheers!

Hi YC,
I think it would be great to hear her point of view. It may be even more personal since they are in the profession. Let me know.

You bet we are upset and I already wrote an article about it. The writer should have had the decency to use Filipino medical professionals as a joke.

Medicine is no joke, it takes time to be in the profession and that should have been the first consideration.

I don’t think she is aware of it yet, I’ll ask her later. But half her family live in the States, so it’d be interesting to hear of their reaction. They might have some, because both her brothers are in the medical profession.

Hey YC,
Yes, I am 100% Filipino. Both my father and mother are Filipino and I was born there, but raised here in the states. There is a big Filipino community in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. I am sure there are more that I am not aware of.
I did like Desperate Housewives the first season, but then it became to commercial in season 2. And what I really mean is too predictable.
How does your girl friend feel about the whole fiasco?

Dude I didn’t know you’re Filipino! My gf is Filipino. I didn’t know there was such a stereotype, in fact I thought the Filipino medical community was strong and known for the right reasons. My gf’s brother is a top physiotherapist and has recently moved to the States, actually. Still, don’t know why anyone would watch Des Housewives.
