I agree, agree, agree with your rant about this. It is amazing how many inept (yes, inept) writers are out there writing professionally! This is a classic case of incompetent paraphrasing. “Since 600 AD, mangosteen has been known as a healing agent and was used by scribes in Southeast Asia.”

I have not quite lost faith in your being Filipino too. :) Kaya lang kasi, these kinds of one-liners erode confidence in ourselves. We use it oh so loosely that we fail to recognise it's sinister and long-term implications. Maybe it's time to invent a new expression that could very well stir the pot, as you call it, yet not denigrate our own kind, in our own eyes--lalo na sa mga bata who are beginning to think na ganun na nga lang tuloy tayo whenever they hear this from our own lips; lalo na rin siguro when so many others not Filipino can hear/view such declarations. Kung wala tayong respeto sa sarili eh how can we expect others to respect us? So let us all continue to be vigilant and articulate what we see wrong and be willing to do our bit to improve things. Oks na? Oo naman anonymous paul. I have not quite lost faith in your being Filipino too. :) Kaya lang kasi, these kinds of one-liners erode confidence in ourselves. We use it oh so loosely that we fail to recognise it’s sinister and long-term implications.

So let us all continue to be vigilant and articulate what we see wrong and be willing to do our bit to improve things. Oks na?
