Someone should start a fund raiser where the main goal will be to help finance the search for the Filipino's sense of humor. To those who may not know it, David Letterman hosts a talk show where COMEDY is the operative word every day. Now though some jokes may be funnier than others I don’t think this one is worthy of a diplomatic or legislative storm.

Now if this were a news report where a man of more substance were involved, certainly it would do us well to determine where his perceptions were coming from.

BUT THIS IS ALEC BALDWIN FOR GODS SAKE! AND ON A LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW TO BOOT! But for the more rabid and easilly pricked, it should be noted that mail ( or in modern technospeak, E-Mail) order brides are still common place.

HERES A TRUE STORY: A Filipina was recently being interviewed by a foreign consular officer as a prerequisite to immigrating to another country for the purpose of marriage. The consular officer was politely insistent on getting the contact number of the husband to be for verification purposes.

This prompted the Pinay applicant to indignantly declare that not all foreigners are users and this was a case of genuine love from a distance. This was of course until the consular officer gently pointed out that her indicated home address in the foreign country was a P.O BOX!

To our lawmakers...don’t shoot the messenger. Give our people better education so that they can see through scams like this. Or better yet, give them a better education to make sure that the Filipina doesnt have to resort to rolling the dice on the internet just to find a beter life. Save your tirades for when youre in front of a mirror. Ball is in your court. Prove Baldwin wrong.

Lahat ng biro ay may pinangagalingang katotohanan.

Bato bato sa langit tamaan huwag magalit.
