Mahilig talaga akong manood ng TV lalo na noong bata pa ako. Kaya nung bumili ang lola ko ng unang-unang TV kahit na 2nd hand lang sya eh ok na yun para sa aming family. tandang-tanda ko pa na Sylvania ang brand name ng television set na iyon. Malaki ang screen, square box at napakabigat. Oo sinabi mo mabigat talaga ang magnet ng TV. Halos di na ako makakurap ng mata. That time in Year 1971 - 1972 mapapagpasensyahan mo yung television na ganun kahit na tinatapik namin yung likod pag nagcocntrast or vertical problem na yung screen dahil yung antenna sa bubong ay nahihipan ng hangin. Or pag may bagyo ay wla na kaming mapanood. Grabe sa luma ng TV na iyon pero may pakinabang naman dahil sulit sa news. Mahilig ang pamilya naming makinig sa news sa TV or sa radio. Mainam kasi yung alammo lahat nang nangyayari sa paligid mo at higit sa lahat sa ibang bansa. Pero sabi nila you wont know what happened during the Martial Law era because news outside the Philippines were cut off. In my opinion it was deliberately good for you want your children , if you are a parent or parents who want your children to learn your own country not the country of others. It was actually a blessing in disguised that the country of Philippines were in order during the Martial Law era because children that time are more educated, organized and respectful of their family, friends and relatives. The family values are intact and well, FILIPINO VALUE is the first and foremost the essence of culture UNTIL when the Martial Law was lifted and the veil of all scrutiny and bad information proliferate and spread like wildfire after that. You want to be westernized and avoid any consequences arising from all the failures that happened in 1900? Unbelievably after Martial Law everything turned upside down what a man has dare improved the Philippine as a whole good wholesome image was changed drastically because of wrong perception and value of being Filipino. Okay sige na nga marami daw naapi dahil sa Martial Law teka nga matanong ko nga kayo? Taga Pinas ba talaga kayo? Balita ko galing kayo sa ibang bansa hindi sa Pilipinas. Hindi komo mukha kayong Pinoy at Pinay eh Filipino at Filipina kayo. That's the problem. Anyway, problem din yan ng ibang bansa. Pag maputi ka at blonde and blue eyes ka people mistake these people as Americans. O, tisoy sya...American yan. Yung anak ko American daw dahil maputi, eh Canadian sya. Eh ako maputi ako, Canadian ba ako? Hindi. Feel nila Chinese ako. Sabi yan ng mga Canadian. Ewan si Pnoy ba Filipino? Are you sure? Baka si Jim Carrey lang yan. lol. Aahahhah. Oopss sorry po biro lang. Porsche lang ang type nyang car eh ma-angal pa kayo. Cheap naman nyo. Bakit di nyo sya bilhan ng Jeep Cherokee? Or Ford Taurus or Minivan ? Expedition or Dodge Ram? Aba kung yung nagtrabaho sa saudi lang ng 3 taon ay may Pajero bakit naman Porsche lang ipagkakait nyo pa? Yan ang hirap sa mga Filipino sobrang ma-iinggitin.

Have you seen those cars and vans being used in the latest movies such as Transformers being burned? Grabe di ba? Sobrang yaman naman nila para lang sunugin ang mga vehicles na yun. Hmp! Baka naman carton lang. Dapat dyan eh bigyan ng leksyon tulad ng ad na "ally."
