Filipino-American communities in United States reacted on Desperate Housewives Season 4 Premiere episode where Teri Hatcher made a remark about Filipinos - doctors/nurses. Not only that the Medical Association of the Philippines and the Government reacted about this issue and I think that's too much.



Anyway, it's not Teri Hatcher's fault but the creator/writer of the show Marc Cherry. But Teri is what the viewer's can see as the culprit so almost everybody blamed her and Filipino actor Cesar Montano made a statement blaming Teri Hatcher and he will support for the move to ask ABC network for an apology.

It's just a desperate show aiming to collect more Emmy trophies, so I just hope we won't be that desperate too because we know Filipinos are one of the first class Doctors, Medical Professors and Nurses in the United States and around the world. There are just some flaw I can see in our local hospitals. Doctors and Nurses are not that enthusiastic to attend the patients in the Emergency rooms if they don't have any down payment cash, worst is, they just pass by and just look at the dying patient without concerns on what is going on. It made me so sad that almost all Doctors, Nurses and other Filipino professionals are going out in the country to work as operating room and nursing assistants or Domestic helpers in other countries because they can't afford to work in the Philippines with just a very low compensation for their profession.

So, to the Government Officials, I think this issue will be an eye opener and sooner or later problems like this will be taken seriously and not those ZTE scams, impeachment trials and other politicking issues .

PS:
I like this comment at Youtube...

true true, kaso, we have to be united parin kahit paano. pero hmmm, actually mas joke on them parin sa kanila ang trend, since mga physical therapists nila pinoy, nurse nila, pinoy, mga care giver nila (nakaka kuha pa ng mana) pinoy, so their sick and elderly are in OUR care...sila ang dapat mahiya.

and this one too:

Okay lang yan marami naman talagang walang kwentang medical school sa pinas eh.
