		<description>Ay .... pahabol.

Please don&#039;t call us hipocrites. 

Masyadong mataas ang antas ng pagka-intelektwal mo kaya siguro nakalimot ka na marami sa ating pilipino ay simple lamang at mayroon pa ring damdamin na madali masaktan.

Lalo na kung ang kababaihan natin ang sinasaktan.</description>

		<description>you criticize akbayan for taking the cudgels for us?

ako rin, i can&#039;t believe this. Medyo malabo sa akin na pupunahin mo yung grupo na nagtatanggol sa dangal natin. 

Comedy show lang yan ???? Comedy is media and has great power to influence opinions. It can enlighten and mislead. Palagay ko sa dalawang pagpipilian - mislead and ginawa nito. 

Million ang nanunuod nito sa TV, yung ilan dyan yung mga amo ng domestic helpers natin sa UK. Eh papano kung merong kubabawan ng demonyo sa mga nakapanood nito.

Pre, some things are apparent to me:

1st .... you are not a domestic helper. 
2nd .... you probably work here sa pinas with your family  
3rd ..... galit ka sa gobyerno kasi parang sila ang mas sinisisi mo kesa sa BBC sa paglabas ng komedyang ito ??????

Marami rin akong hinanakit sa gobyerno natin, pero palagay ko hindi nila inutusan ang BBC na insultuhin ang kababaihan natin. 

You say you don&#039;t understand ????  OK lang yun. 

Just try to understand those who were hurt and disturbed by this. Also try to understand your countrymen who sympathized with the aggrieved ones. 

Wag mo na lang masyado birahin yung mga nasaktan at nagalit.</description>

		<description>Ok everyone’s a racist joker, but we never go down making fun of women of other countries.  That’s non-negotiable foul.  Maybe, just maybe you’re desensitized with this thing already.  That makes me more disappointed.</description>

		<description>hindi ibig sabihin na ginagawa natin dito sa bansa natin, ok lang na gawin din ng ibang tao satin... simpleng analogy lang yan, katulad lang din na ayaw ng mga magulang natin na pinapalo tayo ng iba pero ok lang na sila ang pumalo sa atin... huwag ding alisan ng accountability ang series na yun dahil lang sa nadidiscriminate din natin ang sarili nating mga kasambahay dito... hindi parin magiging tama yun.... 


hindi dapat tinotolerate yan.... kung ikaw ok lang sayo na ginaganyan ang kalahi mo sa ibang bansa at hindi ka magrereact, wala ka nang pinagkaiba sa mga ipokrito na sinasabi mong dapat magbago.... 


think about it...</description>

		<description>&quot;Racist&quot; is not the appropriate term to use.

The whole incident simply demonstrates the insensitivity of the British media over the plight of a migrant worker in a position of powerlessness. 

The skit normalises and trivialises the Filipina maid - who she is, and what she does.

It is renders normal the treatment of the Filipina maid in such a manner.

It is trivial - her objectified role, its facticity (being a fact), is not questioned. The skit derives its humour from this fact - that the Filipina maid exists as sexualised object for the other characters (old, British men).

This is what I find objectionable.</description>

		<description>yeah ur right..isa lamang yung comedy show..hindi dapat sila lamang ang sisihin. Kaya naging ganun ang tingin ng ibang tao sa mga Pilipino&#039;ng domestic helper ay dahil narin sa paraan ng pagtrato natin sa kanila. At kaya naman sila napilitang magibang bansa ay dahil sa kasalukuyang bulok na sistemang ginagalawan natin.</description>
