Naramdaman mo na ba ang inis na nakakagigil?
We should recognize, without any doubt, that what Hayden has done is way beyond being heinous. He, along with all those who would attempt to emulate him, deserves a well implemented blow of punishment from the people and the sisterhood of women. Let us not dwell too much on the details, though we should admit that those are really disturbing.
However, we are all being dragged around by the hype of the Hayden-Katrina scandal which has been escalated to the senate already. That would have been tolerable, if avenues for justice and redress are what we seek. At this rate however, it cannot be just put to rest. The matter at hand has become too overrated, that it already snuff out all other important issues that the nation needs to attend to at the moment. What with CARP, the opening of classes and the murderous problems of the youth, we are being drawn, forced by the media to focus on something relatively trivial. Although I dare say that coming out in the open and facing the ordeal of shame on the part of Ms. Halili is commendable.
Hearing the news earlier, with the reporters bothering to mention the characters of this scandal-turned-telenovela's fashion statements and choice of clothing by lucky color, I grit my teeth and rant over and over again, wishing that before everyone else lose their sanity, they'd all get a grip and realize that the money and airtime spent on this hype are all senseless and futile, if only to serve the interests of a few. It is all too obvious with the way things are going.
I expect there is a fat chance that justice would be elusive for the victim. And I expect a hundred percent probability, that ninety nine percent of similar and worse cases involving faceless and nameless women victims who did not have the money and influence that these characters have would see justice slipping out from their hands and running away faster than water would do.
And there would be more rantings.. There would be more women crying, not in front of the cameras and the whole nation but behind closed doors of dark rooms. There would be more silence.
Sa lahat ng ka-chakahan na nagaganap ngayon, ********** lahat!!!
Nakakainis na lang talaga!
I appreciate the presupposed act, but not the intentions. I do not question the need for justice. What I question is that we have all become too selective of giving opportunities to everyone, and that includes having access to heal the wounds of oppression and abuse.
Tsk tsk. I beg to disagree Miss Directo.
ReplyDeleteWhile it is indeed true that the media and the society have been too engrossed about the whole scandal, it is just that they do so.
What you might have overlooked and failed to see is that the scandal is much more than an issue of two celebrities who are caught up in the stupidity of their passion. Issues like these are actually a reflection of what people, and most especially, the youth have become. People have turned sex into something monstrous and disgusting when in fact, it should be treated with respect.
Actually, that men should treat women with more respect is also another issue.
The case is not just about some shallow obscenity that the perpetrator has done. It has become an eye-opener to the still existing inferior perception of men over women. In fact, the scandal has also pushed a button into the female psyche. Relationships and sex will never be the same again, for at the back of a woman's mind, there will be thoughts of doubt and mistrust.
After all, Dr. Kho "supposedly" loved Ms. Halili?
I wonder, if the manifestation of love is in anyway what Dr. Kho has shown, well, it is indeed a very exciting thing for someone to manifest their love.
The whole hype about the scandal is not "trivial" as you put it. And if your last statement pertains to Ms. Halili having the heart to forgive Dr. Kho for what he has done, and to "heal the wounds of oppression and abuse", then Miss Directo, you are very much misinformed about a lot of things. There are things which a person can find forgivable, but this is not one of them.
What Dr. Kho has done is beyond unforgivable. May he, and people like him, rot in the lowest pits of hell.
I do not seek to oppose any of what you've said. However, it seems that some of my points were not understood well, correct me if I'm wrong though.. It has been an accepted fact that people have been accustomed to being desensitized with the usual taboos that they now opt to treat such matters with disrespect.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am pointing out here is that the matter has been too hyped to the point that a lot of people have become obvious stakeholders to the issue already. When I mentioned the issue as trivial, I said that it is "relatively trivial" compared to the more pressing issues that I believe, are not being thought of much today. But I did not say that these are all way trivial.
And when I said "having access to heal the wounds of oppression and abuse.," what I meant here was that other people suffering the same predicament, like victims of violence against women, have little access to heal the wounds of oppression and abuse, which is justice. K forgiving H is definitely out of the question.
"What Dr. Kho has done is beyond unforgivable. May he, and people like him, rot in the lowest pits of hell."- There is no doubt about it.
By the way i did not get it when you said: "the still existing inferior perception of men over women"
In any case, there are no disagreements between what we both said, except for the fact that I am pissed off by this overrated hype, and the politicians who get the mileage and benefits out of these.... =')
Good night.
In any case, umay na umay na rin naman ako sa issue na ito.. kaya last na ito... bahala na sa mga magrereply...
ReplyDeleteamen. :)
ReplyDeletehayden kho obviously needs more punishment that he was given because he has disrespected a lot of women but for him to rot in hell is too much. dont you think? :o
ReplyDeletenot too much. just enough,. unless he would ask forgiveness from 40 other women with whom he had a sex videos.
