I am one of those who subscribe to the Filipino Channel and GMA Pinoy TV. It is a way of keeping up to date with news and current affairs and I confess that I do enjoy the variety and gossip shows. I am not one of those who automatically think a Tagalog movie is bad, I have seen a lot more English movies that have no redeeming value whatsoever. Having said this, I would like to point out that one of the main things that I enjoy about technology is the ability to record shows through DVR and fast forward through some of the less enjoyable portions.
The video store where I used to rent Tagalog movies from recently closed shop, an unfortunate sign of the times. I was forced to find a new one and I thought I would borrow something lighthearted since I am off today. I saw the cover of "Desperadas 2" and thought - how bad can it be? The response to that is - pwera gaba! Thank God I did not spend my hard-earned bucks to watch something like that at the movie theater (they now show Tagalog movies at one of the United Artist Cinemas). I am amazed that something like that which obviously goes through a process of approval from many heads and executives was actually produced. Needless to say, I fast forwarded through most of the movie. I hope the next one is better.
