It seems that Pinoy creative writers are rare this day especially those in the entertainment industry. I say this because of the remakes, adaptations, reruns and copycats of previous teleseryes, movies and komicks stories. Take for example Mars Ravelo's komicks superheroes like Darna of Angel Locsin, Dragonna of Shaina Magdayao and now Flash Bomba of Luis Manzano, to name a few. Naririyan pa rin ang Pieta ni Carlo Caparas na pinagbibidahan ni Ryan Agoncillo. Wala na bang malilikhang bagong Pinoy superhero maliban kay Kapitan Inggo?
Filpinos are also guilty of "tagalizing" famous foreign TV shows like Betty La Fea of Bea Alonzo and the much awaited Lovers in Paris starring Piolo Pascual, KC Concepcion and Zanjoe Marudo(?). Hindi na ba makapag-isip ang mga sinanay ni G. Ricky Lee sa kanyang mga workshop at seminar?
Another remakes are the teleserye Underage and the upcoming Kambal sa Uma previously starring Rio Locsin.
Speaking of game shows, hayun ay puro de-kahon na lang ang mga pinalalabas - pagkatapos ng Deal or No Deal ni Kris Aquino ay raratsada naman ang Bingo, na kahit tunog at popular sa mga Pinoy ay isa ring syndicated game show ng Endemol. Why not authentic Pinoy games? Wala kayong maisip kasi nga iba ang pinag-iisip natin!
I think our writers are busy in the beauty and fashion column and in "sexy" magazines where the money is.
Makapagasulat na nga!
