Jinggoy EstradaDuring the Senate hearing on the 2023 budget of theon Tuesday, the actor-turned-politician said local actors are losing their jobs because Filipinos support Korean shows and actors.
“Ang aking obserbasyon ‘pag patuloy 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 foreigner at dapat ang mga artista nating Pilipino, na talagang may angking galing sa pag-arte, ay ‘yun naman dapat ang ipalabas natin sa sariling bansa natin,” he continued.Estrada’s proposal did not sit well with Korean drama fans and members of the entertainment industry. They said that banning foreign films and series does not address the real issue in the being faced by media and entertainment workers.
“Pag-aralan dapat kung ano ba ang dahilan at tinatangkilik natin ang foreign movies. Saan ba tayo nag-la-lapse? ‘Di po solusyon ang i-ban ang mga foreign films at kung ito po din ay inyong gagawin, tinatanggalan ninyo ng right to choose o freedom to decide ang mga kababayan natin,” a Facebook userMany demanded government support to bolster the local entertainment industry highlighting how the South Korean government invests in films.
“The Korean government is the one supporting its film industry in the form of grants and incentives, which drive them to grow more. Here in the Philippines, our government is not doing anything for the film industry,” an online user“Ang Korean government nag-i-invest sila sa entertainment industry kaya lumalago, sana kayo rin tulungan na lang ang entertainment industry ng Pinas hindi yung ibaban yung Kdrama.
