Pinas, nagiging land of the LAME remakes na nga ba?

Hulyo 15, 2008 · Mga Puna

Dahil sa nagtagumpay ako sa ‘king unang hangarin na may magkomento man lamang sa mga nauna kong mga isinulat, eto na naman ako at nakisipat-sipat sa mga umaatikabong pag-iisip ng liberalismo na napulot ko sa ilang taon ko sa kolehiyo. Pagsama-samahin ang konting kritikal na pag-iisip at ang popular na interes and *poof! it becomes bittercrunch!

Hindi naman kasi ako ganito kabitter noon, ewan ko. Siguro dahil sa ilang buwan kong pagkakakulong sa sulok ng aking stinky-teenage-room ay ito na at umaalingasaw na ang aking mga napupunang mga bagay-bagay.

Matagal ko ng isinuko ang hilig sa panonood ng Free TV dito sa Pinas, sukang-suka na ako mga kakornihan ng mga drama sa teleserye natin. Napakadaling hulaan ng mga mangyayari, may maghihiganti, may yayaman, ang katulong ay isa pala heredera, kapatid nya ang kanyang mahal, pilit paghihiwalayin ang magkasintahan dahil mayaman ang isa at ewan ko ba kung bakit palaging may ganoong kasamang taong nabubuhay sa katauhan ng mga kontrabida. Isa lang naman ang nakikita ko talagang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay mayroon pa rin nito…konsumerismo ng masa sa kanilang pag-aabang ng mga artista, artista na hindi naman dahil sa talento kung bakit nasa isang palabas, ito ay dahil siya ay in demand ngayon, susunod-sunurin na ng mga kapitalista ang proyekto dahil tiba-tiba sila sa advertisement at promotion, ang mga artista naman ay di na kinakailangang mag-adjust, ang istorya mismo ang mag-aadjust sa kanila.

O sige, isa na namang reality check. Opinyon ko lamang ito mga kaibigan ha? Wala akong grudge sa mga avid fan, isang sipat nga lang.

Sa aking palagay, natural na sa mga Pilipino ang mahumaling sa mga bagay na hindi Pilipino, mahaba ang listahan kung iisa-isahin pa natin ang mga bagay na iyon, kaya hindi nakapagtataka ng ulanin tayo ng mga palabas na singkit ang mga tauhan ngunit napakagaling magsalita ng Filipino. Mukhang tatalunin na natin ang french bilang second mostly used language (exagerated). Lumabas na naman ang galing nating mga pinoy, ang mag-boses sa mga karakter ng palabas.

Tunay ngang inulan ng kasikatan ang mga palabas na ito sa unang bugso. Eto’t nakalikha pa ang iba ng konsyerto, commercial, tv guestings, nagbida pa sa ibang palabas at marami pang iba. Hindi na mabilang ang mga palabas na ito na umere sa ating mga telebisyon, hindi nakakasawa dahil malawak ang sakop ng tema, may dramatiko, may kwela, may pangkabataan, may pangbuong pamilya, ibig sabihin malawak ang saklaw ng kanyang produksyon.

Mas mura ang pagpapalabas ng mga ito kung tutuusin kaysa sa sariling gawa, malamya na nga ang TV Pilipino, lalo pa itong inagawan ng mga internasyunal na produksyon. Ngunit di pa rin tayo nahihinto sa paghumaling.

Ito na naman ang bagong trend sa TV Pilipino, ang pag-remake ng mga palabas at IPILIPINO. Nagsulputan ang mga popular na titulo ng mga palabas. Kinabaliwan, inabangan at kinainisan ng ilan.

Sabi ng propesor ko, nakakasuka na raw kung ano ang batayan ng kalidad na isinusubo sa atin ng mga kapitalistang network ng bansa. Isa sa hilig ng mga Pinoy ang panonood kaya sinasamantala nila ito sa kanilang adbentahe. Napakababa ng antas ng kalidad ng mga palabas sa TV sa ngayon. Ito ay ipinapakita ng mga telenovela sa ating bansa. Nasasayang ang galing ng mga liberal, kritikal at malikhaing pag-iisip ng mga pinoy na manunulat dahil ang pinapaboran ng mga TV Network ay ang estetika ng mga palabas at hindi ang lalim nito.

Hindi pa sila nakuntento sa pagsasa-Pilipino ng salita sa ibang palabas at eto na ngayon, ireremake nga nila ang mga palabas gamit ang mga lokal na artista.

Sandali, mukhang understatement ang naunang talata. Natatawa ako sa tuwing sinasabing PINOY VERSION lalo na sa palabas na MY GIRL mula sa popular na koreanovela na may parehong titulo. Kasi isipin nyo ba naman, Pinoy Version pero ang mga bida ay PILIPINONG HILAW, isang Tsino at Amerikano….naks! Pinoy na Pinoy Version, pinangatawanan ang pagiging melting pot ng Pinas.

Syempre, di naman ako maglalakas ng loob na isulat ito, mayroon din naman akong mga kickbacks. Ang mga forum na aking nabasa at komento sa artikulo. Di lang naman pala ako ang nakakapansin. Siguro kaya lang matindi ang pansin na iniuukol ko sa mga ganito dahil sa dinami-dami ng aking kursong kinuha sa departamentong Araling Pilipino sa Unibersidad.

Ito na naman ang paggamit ng lapit sa bawat pag-aaral. Unahin natin ang Sikolohikal na lapit. Naimpok na sa isip ng mga Pilipino ang ideya ng kolonyal na pagtangkilik. Naitaim sa isip ng mga Indio na ang mga bagay na mula sa ibang bansa ay siyang ideyal na mga bagay sa mundo, dito pinagtatalunan ang usapin sa identitad nating mga Pilipino. Mahihinuha rin ito sa sosyal na implikasyon ng mga palabas na ito, hindi lang bilang isang indibidwal ang mayroong ganitong pag-iisip ngunit ang Pilipinas bilang isang kolektibong katawan.

O sya, sige. Tumataginting pa rin naman ang mga ratings ng mga LAME na palabas na ito. Wala akong karapatang sabihang lame ang mga ito gayung di ko naman sila tinututukan. Marahil, nalalamyaan lang ako sa ideya ng remake. Kung tutuusin, napakaraming malikhaing panulat ang nandyan sa paligid, bakit hindi ito ang ipalabas? Mahirap talagang kalabang pwersa ang kapitalismo.

Bilang personal na pananaw naman. Nawawalan lamang ng lalim at tatak ang mga palabas na ginagawan ng remake. Syempre hindi aangal ang mga kompanyang may-ari nito sa ibang bansa bagkus nagiging dahilan pa ito upang magmataas sila at maliitin ang ating sariling kakayahang gumawa ng dekalidad na produksyon. Marami rin naman tayong magagandang obrang nagawa, nakakalungkot lang at di na ito nasusundan.

Nakakaasar, mas maganda pa sana dito ang kaya kong gawin, di masyado napangatuwiranan ang aking argumento, mayroon kasi akong sakit sa pag-iisip, haha. Madali akong mawalan ng interes kapag may bagong mas kainteres-interes, bwiset na youtube kasi to, NOW PLAYING : My Girl, Jokeness! haha

Isa pa sa kinaaasar ko, nabasa ko sa isang forum, ireremake daw ang FULL HOUSE! Huwaaat! Argh. Lalong titindi ang grudge ko nito.

Pasensya na dahil ako ang nagmukhang lame at hindi ang aking argumento. Tinamad na ako eh! .^^ Nakakatamad kasing pag-usan to! Babay!

    although i am planning on watching it when they air it on cable. im not expecting much from quality. philippine remakes tend to butcher a lot the original thing that they are “remaking”. its like they use the names, the original storyline, and the concept initially for like the first few weeks.. but they dont follow it the rest of the time. phippines’s approach to these things are way different. they just buy the rights to the name to create interest from watchers but not to actually follow it.

    hmm. but i heard there’s a new collab between malaysia and philippines in a new drama? did you guys see the first one? ever heard of it? hehe.

    K-popped thanks for posting this, that was so quick he he. It’s sunny here and very very hot! Anyway, Belle is actually right, that Philippine remakes tends to butcher the original thing and do not stick to the original storyline. I hope that they will not do that in that in this series, so that it will not loose its original “essence”. Regine is an excellent actress, as well as Mark Anthony, I just hope they will give justice to their roles as Sam Soon and Jin Heon. Anyway, I’ll sure watch it!

    i’ve never did like the korean My Lovely Samsoon.. i’m not expecting too much on this. the actors aren’t exactly top notch – decent, but not the best. and the tv network company that they’re all in doesn’t exactly carry on a roster of great talents. btw, that pic of mark anthony doesn’t give him justice (or maybe he already aged too much?)

    people who think that remakes tend to “butcher” the originals hasn’t seen that much remakes. chinese, koreans and japanese create version of each other’s shows/series and the plot, OF COURSE, change to include the country’s own culture and influence. STUPID.

    the other TV station (ABS CBN) are planning a remake of My Girl… frankly like this MNIKSS remake i’m not all that fond of the cast.

    apparently its a joint production with SBS Korea.

    I agree with Belle. They tend to butcher a lot of stuff. And yes, My Girl has a remake on the other station. I’m not excited either, even if I’m from the Philippines. Well, I hope they give justice to the original.

    I see a lot of rants hahaha!

    Not surprising since we pretty much have a bad track record when it comes to these stuff. BUT there are admittedly some really good dramas. And GMA 7 has a good roster of writers so I think they’ll do a decent job with this one. I hope.

    Samsoon is a very popular k-drama so the expectations are really high.

    My Girl on the other hand…well, I mean…can’t they get anyone other than Kim Chiu?!?!

    Sandara Park is oodles better than her. And that’s saying a lot. 0_o

    i guess the cast here is much better than the My Girl one…they’re all veteran actors (except hayden of course) and why not give it a try instead of bashing your own fellow Filipinos??? Judge it after you watch it! and besides, those Koreans think so highly of themselves because we Filipinos tend to “butcher” our own! damn it! anyway, nadine is a good actress and i’ll definitely try to watch this!

    That’s because Filipino are so full of themselves, and I’m FILIPINO.. They think of themselves so highly, but in reality, they have nothing. AHHH!!

    wow! thanks for posting this! this is pretty exciting and interesting. we’ll have to see how this goes down.

    on a side note, kim sun ah looks really cute in that picture. also, that picture of dr. hayden kho doesn’t do its justice. it’s kinda dark. but i agree, i’d choose dr. henry any day. hehe.
    i could picture regine being samsoon. i’m TRYING to picture mark anthony fernandez.

    philippines is also doing a My Girl remake but on ABS-CBN, GMAs rival network. that’ll star Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson, I believe.

    wow, do filipinos really think of themselves that negatively?

    of course it won’t be the same as the original. that’s why it’s a REmake. they will REmake it, meaning it won’t be exactly the same. if you don’t want to watch it, then don’t.

    The thing with remake is that you either love it or hate it. There’s no in-between and from the looks so far I’m thinking it’s going the way of the latter.

    hey people calm down no need to call them ugly or stupid…
    and please do not refer to FILIPINOES being too full of themselves..we do have lots of good
    actors and actresses it’s just that the casts here really are..
    nevermind!!

    and to the person who said filipinoes have nothing? m telling you you haven’t seen much of the millionaires. and if that’s the case why the hell do some foreigners come to our country?

    jehan said…

    why do others think negatively of something they havent seen yet? i mean, filipinos enjoyed Marimar remake why cant we enjoy MNIKSS as well? regine is a good actress.. i personally feel that this is going to be a good remake coz regine is a natural comedian herself… as for the rest of the cast, nadine samonte has proven herself in such roles before..

    as for the My Girl version, gerald anderson is way too young to be the main actor…

    just thinking out loud though.. sorry to those who wouldnt like my comment…

    Hey is this war, or something? This post is just about a remake of a drama, why fight?! People have no right to say the people in the Philippines (or in any case people in other countries) are ugly. It’s just plain simple, if you don’t want to watch it, then don’t! No one is forcing you to do so. And pls. to my fellow Filipinos here, stop bashing each other. Insteas let’s support our local showbiz industry. No wonder we’re tagged to have this “crab mentally”.. Tskk… tsssk.. rssk..

    HEADS UP K-POPPED PEOPLE!

    “FULL HOUSE” IS GETTING A FILIPINO VERSION!

    GMA 7 just announced today that they are going for a remake of the popular drama. Heart Evangelista already signed on to play Song Hye Gyo’s character. They are still on the look out on who’s gonna be Rain but the buzz is it’s gonna be Richard Gutierez.

    I know a lot of people are gonna throw major bitch fits on this news but really, the beauty of k-drama is that it is pretty much adaptable/relatable to any Asian culture. THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS GONNA BE BETTER but please consider that thought.

    Also as much as I want to see new and fresh dramas from the Philippines (instead of buying it Mexican or Korean or Japanese series), I suppose this isn’t as bad considering that the new dramas are pretty much crap. >_<

    Heart Evangelista is really pretty. She’s no Song Hye Gyo but she’s pretty in her own way. And she has decent acting skills. :)

    My comment is too long. Sorry. ;)

    And people don’t fight! If you don’t want to watch any of these remakes you don’t have to! Peace. lol

    I’m not fond of remakes (and I have watched a lot of disappointing ones), it’s better if they just make a drama that’s been discreetly inspired by the original Korean version than passing it off as a remake.

    Anyway, am I the only one who thought Hyun Bin looked hot in that pic?! Daniel Henney looked really yummy too…^^

    Sam-soon is one of my all-time fav dramas. If they’re remaking My Girl, how much worse could it get?

    Hi, I am from Philippines…a lot of remakes even the one created by the US is not that all good.

    I have been a one time fan of “guapings” where Mark previously belong and he was handsome back then. He is still now and I want to give him a chance here. I want him to get up after being an addict. Now he is a father and responsible husband I think he can do this drama. I just do not trust the script written by the GMA team.

    I am an ABS CBN fan and their drama scripts are fantastic but they have flaws too I say very big flaws. FYI…to every Filipino if an actors is/was cut off suddenly from any abs-cbn drama because they are always late. ABS do not tolerate tirediness. They demand your time.

    honestly, what is up with this idea. im a filipino and i hate the fact that they’re butchering one of the leading k-drama’s ever. T.T my girl in another station, my lovely kim sam soon in that station, and rumors have it that they’re trying to make a local version of full house. T^T i’m not at all happy about the cast and everything, but then again, ho am i to complain TT.TT

    I’m Filipino and I think majority of filipino movies suck. I haven’t really seen any dramas except something called flores but I bet they all suck.
    If someone is willing to prove me wrong then someone tell about an actually decent filipino movie or drama I could watch.

    hi, im a filipino….first of all, “AKO SI KIM SAM SOON” is the first korean remake of GMA 7, and its not yet aired,,,,the other remake of ABS CBN, w/c is the first korean remake here in the philippines is not that good, i can say that coz i already saw it. My girl- low quality and the cast are not that good. GMA never called LUPIN, ZAIDO, a remake, they just brought the rights and that’s it. Their official remake is only MARIMAR and its a job well done, it ranked as the number 1 primetime show here in phils., the cast and the quality of the show is excellent…. And now, they’re making a pinoy version of kim sam soon…… well, i should say that mark anthony is not that handsome but the role really fits to him, his character is whacky and
    that makes him more like cyrus,,, regine, the best, very good actress, and nadine, okay, fine….hayden kho, okay fine….. that’s the ony thing i can say about the main casts…..but what im ver excited of is the quality…..it really looks like the original version , i think they really edited and used high quality camera’s…..
