Basahin natin ang Reaksyon ng Isang Chinese tungkol sa Pang-iinsulto ni Chip Tsao

Mainit na pinag-uusapan ang nangyaring pang-iinsulto ng isang Chinese writer na si Chip Tsao sa ating bansa at sa mga Pilipino dahil lamang sa Spratly Islands. Hanggang ngayon ay kumukulo ang dugo namin dito sa Siete Contra Dos dahil sa pangmamaliit niya sa ating lahi.

Humingi na raw siya ng kapatawaran ng live sa isang TV netwrok sa Hong Kong. Humingi na rin ng apology ang HK Magazine na pinagsusulatan niya at kung saan nalathala ang article. At pumunta na rin daw siya sa Philippine consulate sa Hong Kong para humingi ng kapatawaran sa mga opisyales natin doon.

Para sa akin lang, I forgive but I won't forget. Masyadong malalim ang pang-iinsulto niya na halatang sinadya niya. Maaring na-pressure lang ito si Tsao dahil sa reaction ng tao sa kanya kaya niya ginawa iyon. Sa aking pananaw, hindi sincere itong si Tsao dahil alam ba ninyo na nabalitaan namin na hindi na pala ito ang unang pagkakataon na magpahayag ng racist remarks itong Intsik na ito? Pipilitin namin alamin kung saan matatagpuan ang mga sinulat pa niya na pang-iinsulto at ihahatid din namin sa inyo.

Dahil na rin sa dami ng nabasa ko na mga comments ng mga Pinoy, may nakita ako comment ng isa niyang kalahi at worth it naman na i-share sa inyong lahat. Maaaring ang Chinese na ito ay siya yung tinutukoy namin dito. Bigyan natin siya ng panahon at basahin natin ang sinabi niya - unedited:

I am from Shenyang, Liaoning Province of China. My province is known as one of the three places in China where the people are friendly and peaceful. That place is far up North - where we reason with our head...Mr. Tsao comes from down South - where, if it be made an analogy - er, where he reasons with somewhere 'down below'?

I condemn such an insulting, irresponsible, thoughtless, and totally ignorant writing. I am Chinese...again let me reiterate that...but I take the stand the Filipino people take. For once, this is not a question of patriotism. I am patriotic enough but my blood will not boil over some courageous stand the Philippine government deem fit they see. Why Mr. Tsao seethes over the Philippine congress sending gunboats is beyond my comprehension. If we think we are so mighty, would we be scared of anything we think 'small'? That should make us think - that should make us realize that we are not that 'big' after all! If a 'master' cowers at the 'threat' of its 'servant', is he even befitting the title 'master'?

There is nothing wrong with the Philippines sending its workforce abroad to perform decent and honest ways of earning wage. The word 'slave' is lauded by Christ who taught His disciples to be the 'servant of all'. There is nothing wrong in the word 'servant'...unless it is used in a condescending way of which Mr. Tsao is guilty of.

A lot of my countrymen do odd jobs, too, and with the swollen number of our population, the ratio of the Filipino 'servants' would pale in comparison to the number of Chinese 'servants'. Mr. Tsao, we don't call them 'servants', do we?

Mainland China is so different from the Hong Kong picture you have painted, my friend. Er, have you visited Mainland China? You will be surprised how peaceful our people are. I guess you must learn OUR culture first before you attempt teaching your 'maid' something...Chairman Mao himself would beat you for doing what you just did to her.

If you come to Mainland China, you will be surprised at the big number of Filipinos gainfully employed in our schools. Who teaches our kids these days? The beautiful, intelligent, kind-hearted, and courageous Filipinos. One day, your offspring will LEARN from a Filipino teacher...your lineage will then be a better copy of you...a 'corrected copy'.

Yes, I come from Shenyang...mainland China. And you come from Hong Kong...tsk tsk tsk...that's saying something these days.

To the Filipino people slighted by this man, I offer apologies. You Filipinos are brave.

And oh, before I forget, why do I take side with the Filipinos? Because I came to know the One True God from one Filipina friend...that makes all the difference. Who is the Giant now if they have this MAGNIFICENT GOD? It is this same God that our big country needs, and thankfully, He is also using the Filipinos to let Himself be known in this country!

Peace! (Source: WangChen34)

Chinese Writer Insults the Philippines

Parang walang nangyari sa ginanap na Earth Hour kahapon dahil hindi lahat ay nakitaan ng suporta. Sa pananaliksik na ginawa namin dito sa Siete Contra Dos at pagtingin sa mga litrato ng mga bansang nakisali sa ambisyosong proyektong ito, kitang-kita pa rin ang mga building na bukas ang mga ilaw. Hindi excluded ang Pilipinas dito.

Ang ikinagulat ko tungkol sa ating Bayang Magiliw, pagkatapos ang isang oras  mula 7:30 hanggang 8:30 ng gabi na pagpatay sa lahat ng mga appliances na nakabukas, nagkaroon daw ng fireworks display.

Susmaryosep, halos mahulog ako sa kinauupuan kong silya, huh, nang mabalitaan ko ito. Paano naman hindi ako magre-react eh ang nangyari ay defeating the purpose. Ang purpose nga ng Earth Hour ay para bawasan ang carbon emission pero sa fireworks na ito, baka na-doble pa ang emission.

**********

Dahil sawang-sawa na ako sa pang-aalipusta ng ibang lahi sa ating mga Pilipino at dahil na rin sa aking pagmamahal sa ating bansa sa kabila ng kabulukan na nangyayari dito, tumataas talaga ang blood pressure ko sa mga balitang racism laban sa atin.

Why do racists exist? Iyan lagi ang katanungan ko sa aking isip na hindi ko lubusan pang nasasagot.

Kanina lamang ay lumabas na naman ang dugong pagka-Gabriela o Prinsesa Urduja ko dahil sa ginawa ng isang Chinese columnist na pagtawag sa Pilipinas bilang nation of servants dahil lamang sa isyu ng Spratly Islands kung saan isa ang Pilipinas at China sa mga claimants.

Si Chip Tsao, (It's Chip and not Cheap) sa kanyang column na The War at Home sa isang sikat na pahayagan sa Hong Kong (Hong Kong Magazine ata) ay naglathala ng isang article noong 27 March 2009 kung saan tinawag nga niya tayong nation of servants.

Ayon kay Tsao, wala raw tayong karapatan na mag-claim sa Spratlys dahil ang China daw ay nag-eemploy ng maraming domestic helpers galing sa atin sa mabababang sahod. Dagdag pa niya na hindi dapat daw ito ang ginagawa ng isang servant sa kanyang amo.

O di ba, sino naman ang hindi tataas ng kanyang dugo sa sinabi niya. Napakatayog ang tingin ng Tsao na ito sa kanyang sarili at akala niya yata ay siya ang Diyos. Akala niya yata ay walang mahihirap din na mga kababayan niya at namamasukan bilang katulong.

What Tsao failed to realize is the fact that some of his countrymen are in fact working in a lower class if he considers being a domestic helper is a low class. If most Filipinos work as domestic helpers outside our country, then most of the Chinese who go out of their country work  not as domestic helpers but prostitutes. Well, this is just based on what I have seen in the countries where I have been to.  I might be wrong here but this is what I've seen. At least, we don't end up as sex slaves. I would prefer to be a domestic helper then than a prostitute.

Oh. my God, I can't believe that I am stooping down to Tsao's level. Papagalitan ako ni Senador Pia Cayetano nito. Well, sobrang high din kasi ang emotion ko  sa panlalait na ito ni Tsao. That's why sometimes, though I am not praising nor tolerating what Hitler did during the Holocaust, there's a thin line on me where I sometimes understand him for doing what the world considers the biggest crime on humanity. He might have been triggered by a behaviour which is similar to what Tsao had shown us.

Imbes na itong si Tsao ay nakipag-debate na lang in an academic way kung bakit dapat sa China mapunta ang Spratlys, eh, hindi, dahil umasta siyang parang bata o isip bata.

Naalala ko noong elementary ako na kapag nakikipagtalo ako sa mga kaibigan, dahil minsan alam ko na natatalo na ako at wala na akong mai-dahilan pa, ang panlaban ko na lang ay sabihan siya na may tuyo siya o may galis siya o nakatae siya sa salawal niya. Hahaha.

And that is exactly what this poor Tsao did. He deserves no mercy from me.

Tama ba kasi na pinangaralan daw niya ang kanyang kasambahay na Filipina about sa Spratlys at tinakot na hindi na raw kukunin ang kanyang serbisyo kung hindi niya sasabihin in public na ang Spratlys daw ay pagmamay-ari ng China.

I bet some Chinese people are not happy (those Chinese who have the homo sapien sapien's brain and not your type) with your behaviour, Mr. Tsao. You are a disgrace in your country for not showing an intellectual argument about the Spratly thingy. If you claim the islands as yours, do it intelligently and not resort to hurling us racist rebuttals. You are just showing how "brainy" you are. I hope you don't take it literally.
