I have no idea how this can be considered a PROTEST. I honest to goodness am quite amused, and sordidly ashamed of this, how do I put it, idea of a joke? I don't know what to make of it, this dancing-to-protest? I can't see the "interpretetiveness" of the Interpretative Dance. Am I alone in this? Or are all my other countrymen raising their eyebrows?

Well, there IS something positive here. They filled my afternoon with genuine laughter. At least they got part of what they aimed for--attention. Just not the way they wanted to get it. Sorry.

Wait a minute. This is quite disturbing. I don't know how we can turn everything into a joke. Well, it's a feat we've mastered quite well, given that we're the best entertainers in whatever bright lights city is in at the moment. Congratulations.

One thing's missed though. There's a time and place for singing and dancing. And it's not protesting. Politics is a serious matter here and for the rest of the world, albeit the fact that it's a business here in the Philippines. And our ability to treat something so serious with such, what's the word? Such, hmm, an attitude of optimism (not to good kind) is just mediocre and shameful. :| We're as bad as the politicians who sing jingles during their campaigns. If you compare the campaigns in the States and here, you'd probably bow your head in shame. There, Clinton and Obama and what have you are delivering speeches and shit. Here, they sing and dance. Ja-ja-ja-jamby! What have you. Oh yeah, I forgot. Politics is a business. =))

In the movie Chinatown, the lead actor (who I fail to remember by name) said at the end, "Hey, it's Chinatown."

All I can say about this exhibit of ignorance (forgive the harsh reality of the words, amen) is this: Hey, it's the Philippines.

Then again, maybe I'm the ignorant one.

Bless us.

Oh, I forgot to tell you. I first saw this in PerezHilton.com, under the category SILLY. Thanks a lot.
