Pokwang, Chito Miranda and others react to proposed banning of Korean teleseryes

Celebrities like Chito Miranda, Pokwang and others reacted to a proposed banning of Korean teleserye in the country.

Senator Jinggoy Estrada said Filipino-made shows should be promoted thus he is considering proposing a ban on Korean telenovelas in the country.

“Ang aking obserbasyon pagpatuloy tayo nagpapalabas ng Korean telenovela, ang hinahangaan ng ating mga kababayan ay itong mga Koreano at nawawalan ng trabaho at kita yung ating mga artistang Pilipino.” Estrada said.

“Kaya minsan pumapasok sa aking isipan na i-ban na itong mga telenovela ng mga foreigners at dapat ang mga artista nating Pilipino talagang may angking galing sa pag-arte ay yun naman dapat ang ipalabas natin sa sariling bansa natin.” the senator added.

Celebrities like Pokwang reacted to the said idea and tweeted the following:

“maganda naman po ang inyong hangarin senador na mabigyan kming mga local artists ng trabaho,salamat po…pero imbes na i ban ang mga koreanobela gayahin natin sila na suportado ng gobyerno ang bawat proyekto nila at ang buong industriya nila”

Chito Miranda shared his thoughts on the said matter:

“Targeting foreign shows or acts is not the solution for the lack of support towards local shows and artists.

Coming up with better shows and songs, is.

As artists, kelangan lang natin galingan mas lalo para sabay tayo sa foreign acts.

“Earn” the support. Di pwedeng sapilitan.”
