Manila, Philippines.
Just when your culture gets raped. What a better way to abuse lewdness than to display almost naked men - which according to reports wear only bahag and no undies - because Direk says so? Girls with hanging/midrift costumes, the recent one which turned me off was that prick trailer where the lead actress runs topless.
I do not hate GMA 7. In-fact, I'm a big fan of their News and Current Affairs Programs - I idolize Jessica Soho because she's fair and she stands for what's true and real. Unlike this new show that will premiere in The Kapuso Network - coincidentally- on May 30, the hyped Marian Rivera star-rer, Amaya.
Question, would their Entertainment Department pursue Amaya say if all the cast members where dressed up from head to toe? Of course not!
Why does the production team banks on the "historical" content of the so called 'epic-serye' when in truth, wether they admit it or not, the "skin factor" is on the top of the their list. It's like, the more skin you show, the more the audience ratings will soar.
How did I arrive with this? Because for some time, the network has used this formula in their previous shows. - or i could be wrong. It has got to have some sexy-ness in it, or it wouldn't rate. AGB Nielsen, GMA's trusted, delivered data these past weeks wherein Channel 7's evening soaps fell short of ABS-CBN's teleserye's that now dominate the prime-time block. The pressure is on GMA, Amaya is a multi-million project and it has to rate high, otherwise someone's gonna be fired.
My point is, because its less-clothes- "pre-historic," they have all the liberty to manipulate sensuality within the costumes, without much obviousness because, again, it's 'educational.' Clever much.
I'm not an expert, i am just expressing my opinion. It's because being an "average" viewer, I sense that their intentions are not pure. They say it's authentic well then 'authentic' their asses. If they want to aim for authenticity then show us the real "scenario," the 'unadulterated' details and facts about our ancestors that lived during that time. It wouldn't be as glossy and sensual like your "Amaya"
On second thought, maybe i am just over-reacting.
