FAMOUS KOREAN ACTRESS INSULTED FILIPINOS

Hey guys, I just want to share this post regarding racial discrimination among Filipinos from a famous korean actress.

The incident happened on the variety show “Sweet Night”. In the episode, Lee Da Hae , who learned English in Australia, was imitating how Americans, British and Filipinos talk. She showed how the three nationalities say “Excuse me; I'm a little bit thirsty. Can I have a glass of water please?"

When she says the sentence in a Filipino-English accent it sounded like this phonetically: "I'm little bit thar-stee so can I have a glass of wa-tar, please. Wa-tar.”

This clearly showed that she insulted the Filipino community.

After hearing of the anger of those who viewed the video, she put out the following tweet on TwitLonger:

On Wednesday 3rd November 2010,@cherry4eva84 said:

First I'd like to give you my sincere apologies for what seems to be a misunderstanding.

It has come to my attention that many of you from the Philippines have posted comments protesting that i was being derisive by mimicking Filipinos when they speak English.

Therefore, in light of this matter I'd like to take this opportunity to clear the air.

In spite of what many people believe, I myself did NOT mention anything

about the Philippines or Filipino accent whilst on the TV show.

On the other hand I recall bringing up Southeast Asia and not the Philippines and the subtitles were inserted when the show was being edited of which I was not aware of until it was aired.

The TV show where this footage was taken from was designed to amuse its audience and my sole purpose was to entertain the viewers by coming up with lighthearted stories.

Since the producer knows that i speak English he asked me if I could

share any episodes that touch upon the English language.

As we all know every country has a typical accent when its people speak English (including myself) so after giving it some thought, I came up with a few lines where I simply tried to compare different English accents: the somewhat rigid British accent and beginners in Southeast Asia whose English tends to be a little hard-edged. No pun or ridicule was intended.

As an individual who use to take English classes over the phone with a Filipino instructor, I give you my word that even the mere thought of mocking Filipinos would never cross my mind.

I cannot tell you how much Filipino fans mean to me and as much as I love them, I would in no way

hurt or upset them.

I hope I have clarified any misunderstandings and once again I am truly sorry if I inadvertently

hurt anyone's feelings.

-i really love you, my Filipino fans..

Lee Da Hae is one of the most promising actress in Korea, but she disappoints a lot of people especially I, a very proud Filipino.

This is not to generalized the Koreans but rather a waking point for all individuals that no one has the right to judge anyone. This might cause a lot of troubles to the people you may bumped with.

Cannibad: The Secret Paradise

Everything was sudden and unplanned; we were so spontaneous...

This was not really the original plan; on this very day, we were looking forward to go on a private resort which is not put into realization. Everyone was down-shouldered, so we decided to pursue our Samal escapade and we decided to have it in Canibad.

We departed the city at around 5:30 pm by riding a bus from Magsaysay Park Terminal going to Penaplata, Samal. From there on we rode a motorcycle or commonly known as "Habal-habal" going to Canibad for 50Php per head.

It was my 2nd time to visit the place, and Canibad never fails me to be amazed of its beauty. The place is rich of natural wonders like different species of fish, sea creatures and coral formation and even the rock formation brought about by the waves add the natural beauty. Surely you'll have a great experience with the place once you got here. There's a lot of fun-filled activities you can do in the place like snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking and many more water sports activities. And to those Mr. and Ms. Snapshot out there, don't forget to bring your cameras because surely in every angle of the place will give you a perfect catch of its beautiful spots.

The place was so perfect for me that time, because of the busy schedule in my review I was able to unwind and give myself like a 1 month break from the busy life in the city, noises from the busy streets and lights from party pubs.

Considering the place is secluded; it was even branded as the Secret Paradise, many people still visit Canibad. Of all my friends who visited the place, they all have one common description of it: AMAZING. Yeah! The place is really a jaw-dropping one especially for first timers, and surely you want to come back again once you've visited the place.

Jumping off the cliff was a breath taking experience for me, it seems so easy right? But I feel like breathless for 5 seconds, and it's so hard when I tried it. But I did it twice. ^,^

These are just some of what Canibad can offer to you, so its up to you to experience more once you got there.
