On Kapamilyas and Kapusos...

I've been receiving comments in this blog and in my email branding me as kapuso or kapamilya. Our TV is locked on ABS-CBN and our family watches mostly ABS-CBN shows but that doesn't mean we call ourselves as Kapamilya. Kapamilya, Kanguso, or whatever dumb labels you call it, WE ARE ALL FILIPINO. PERIOD.
It's sad how media has sublimely induced diversity among us but ironically promotes peace and unity to the Filipinos. If you could just look at the Message Boards of the 2 big networks, you'll see what I mean. 2 camps throwing childish accusations among each other. Mindless discussions on who's the best... the list goes on.
Just look at their commercials, "ang kapuso... tapat..." So if I brand myself as Kapamilya, I'm not honest? During calamities, they race to get to the scene and show the whole world they care. Why don't they just combine their resources, in that way, they could help a lot more. They act just like our politicians. They really don't care, they're just after the money. MONEY.
Competition is good, but if you abuse this, that's another story. Besides, their programming lacks the quality the Filipinos deserve. That's one of the reasons why TV Patrol is the only thing I watch nowadays.
