Just because we WILLED it.



Caution: The video you are about to see is unforgivable.If you wish to live in peace, don't watch.
Who have watched this video and never felt any disgust or dismay or never felt offended at all? Who have seen this video and got so entertained? If you say,"I did" then you must be like the madman himself, Willie Revillame and his apathetic audience. 

I hate to deliver the bad news but... <drum rolls pleez> this is one of the miseducations of Filipino People! Blame Philippine TV. It surely sucks!! Media extremely affects and has great effects on how and what we think as a nation. These days, instead of edifying moral values and teaching moral obligations,  they choose to settle to convenience and empty entertainment.  They do what is easy and what doesn't need any thinking or analysis. Because Philippine media treats  their audience as instruments who don't need values, but   money and time to forget their functions as human beings. Willie's show only teaches us apathy, how it is to celebrate the devaluing of people. How amusing it is to be laugh at for money. How we are capable of embarrassing other people, too. How pleasurable it is to forget what we are made of, that for a  short period of time, through this exploitation, we can forget too our own hardships and how we struggle against poverty.We want enjoyment and it happened just because we willed it. 

I searched on YOUTUBE and saw that it was uploaded right away and liked by many, shared on Facebook and on Tweeter. Matter of seconds,  the news were delivered. But the moral of the lesson were left out. Because people post it as a form of another entertainment not a warning. What shocked me most was related videos were uploaded too showing others kids of the same age imitating the "dance gestures". And so the curse has come full circle, just because we willed it. 

If this is a minute of fame for the boy or a lifetime shame to his family, only time will tell. Now we ask, Are his parents proud? Are they happy? Of course! Don't tell me I pass judgment easily, it's no brainer, from the very start, they know the culture. Would you allow your kids to join the beast in the cage for nothing? They belong too to the system of corrupt. Parents who allow their kids to earn money by virtue of humiliation is unforgivable.No one can blame them for dreaming of "spotlight" because again, we have miseducation here. To be popular, by bad or good publicity, is still popularity. And we continue this tradition by living up to this kind of principle. And this will not end because we willed it. 


I shed a tear as I watched the boy being exploited and humiliated by this crassness. I felt so sorry for my kids that the world their part of is such a crowded circus full of people getting entertained at the expense of others, young or old. 

Stupidity indeed is limitless and Mr. Revillame has no limits when he comes for entertainment. His brain <if he has> is obviously dedicated only to make his muscles move so he can mock and laugh at people! His millions of money can buy him a heart transplant if gets weak and sick. But Mr. Revillame could never afford a healthy nerve to feel for others unless he gives up his madness. INSENSITIVE na ISTUPIDO pa! He lacks good judgment between what is funny and what is entertaining. From what is enjoyable to what is humiliating. And pity the audience who tolerate this distress. They looked so amused and entertained. If Mr. Revillame's bosses will rebuke Willie's shameful act, I salute them, but burn them alive if they too willed the disgraceful show to happen.
