Impressions if I may?

Travel Info
I noticed that some Filipinos who ventured into YTravels Turkey section got negative almost disdainful responses from Turks about the Ruffa Yilmaz fiasco. Whilst a Turkish diplomat friend of mine sent me an e-mail asking why was it such a big deal for Filipinos, because he had Filipinos (regular juan dela cruz(s)) coming up to him and asking him about info on Yilmaz. (Who by the way is a person of ill-repute to them and of course Ruffa a nobody to them.)

Do we have this cult following for entertainment issues? Are we that petty? I'm sure Brad and Jen didn't get this hype in the States. The sob stories & the interviews *sigh*, theatrics for me dahling.

Personally, it is sooo boring for me. But I want to know. No Pro-Ruffas or Pro-Yilmaz(s) please dahlings. Just the cult issue SVP.

Travel Tips

Its simple..most Filipinos are aroused by cheap entertainments..

The Phil showbiz is now being controlled by GAY people thats why it degrade the reputation of the industry.They love to mind on other peoples private lives..tsismosa ba.

And those cheap actresses dont mind the public feast on their private life, they dont mind the effect of this to their young kids as long as they benefit from it...walang delicadeza, Source(s): Culture,

I guess we Filipinos love tsimis more than them Turks! And maybe because Ruffa is our celebrity and we know much about her than them. Ruffa, who surprisingly told us that she was going to have a fancy wedding with a so we thought reputable Turk guy; then suddenly a divorce (or annulment?), was kind of a big deal to Philippine show business, or at least what Nanay Lolit and tita Cristi have perceived. lol. jk.
I think some pinoys misplace their personal priorities. Tsismis, presenting a facade and intrigahan are given tremendous emphasis and as a result, matters such as discipline/dignity, human rights, unity, compassion and law/ethics take a back seat--if at all. That's why petty, meaningless topic such as Ruffa's divorce from her criminal husband are more important than helping the underprivileged around them, for example.

On a macroscopic scale, all this results in the inability of the Philippines to prosper, unlike their other Far Eastern neighbors.
I would like to think that Filipinos are just showing their empathy with their fellow kababayans, much more a celebrity who's been always in the news for us to be updated, regardless if we want it or not.

we can easily identify with another person's feelings or difficulties especially whose lives were pictured as a fairy tale. It makes us want to say "ay tao din pala siya, capable of screwing up or capable of being hurt."

About the Jen and Brad split up, it did create the same hype. In fact, some fans of Jen even had anti-Brad shirts for sale as their way to make a statement.

See, it isn't just us.

The celebs wouldn't make lots of money and the entertainment industry would surely die if there is no one who patronizes their sob (and glorious) stories.
