ANTI-BISAYA on YOUTUBE

[Ecce Homo]

---

I stumbled on this short film on youtube entitled 'Tatlong Bisaya' written and directed by Marius Talampas.

The story was about three bisaya who were on their way home from a friend's party when they were confronted by two military men who were rumored to be 'bisaya-killers'. They wouldn't have encountered these people if they were aware of the curfew in the area. One of them suggested that they just spend the night at their friend's house and go home the morning after but instead, they tried to get pass the military men which they failed to do so.

Without prejudices, I thought the film was well-made; there were no dragging parts and the actors were good. But I can't dismiss the fact that it's reinforcing the idea that Bisaya speak rough english and are feeble-minded people.

What hurts me the most were the comments I read on the video. There were comments that were just too harsh.

kaya nagiging mabaho ang manila dahil kayong mga non-Tagalogs panay ang sik-sik nyo dito, kung sa amin lang mga Tagalog sigurado akong maluwag at maganda ang Manila, kayo lang kasi baboy dito!

Yung iba naman na mga babae tambay sa park puro mga pokpok, kahit saan ka pumunta puro bisaya ang GRO.... sa Malaysia, Brunei, South Korea , Japan, Singapore hanggang Saipan mga Bisaya ang nag bebenta ng laman!!

Nakapunta na ako ng Cebu ayaw mag Tagalog kuno ng mga tao. Pa ingles ingles pa maling mali naman. Tapos ang habit ng tao ay pumunta sa mga internet cafe naghahanap ng mga mabibingwit na foreigner para makaahon sa hirap tsk tsk!!

Personally, shallow kaayo ang mga ginapangyawyaw nila pero I thought if I would just let them be, wouldn't it create a false impression on us? Although, some of their comments were true, they tend to generalize it ONLY on us. They was their hands like they have nothing to do with prostitution, corruption, etc.

Hurt jud ko..

I have friends who are in the Luzon area and they do not act this way.

Well sir, I do not discriminate anyone based on their origins. Wala na sa asa ka gikan kundi sa imong pagka tawo jud.

Not all people are like you man gud, friend. It would've been really nice kung ingana ang world, pero di man. The least you could do is not let those shallow comments get to you. We know better bitaw. And just rejoice in the fact that you are not like them.
