Jerry Gracio to Jinggoy’s K-Drama Ban Call: “Plunderers i-ban ninyo”

Jerry Gracio Reacts to Jinggoy Estrada’s Call to Ban K-Drama in the Philippines

Kapamilya party-list nominee Jerry Gracio reacts to Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s call to ban Korean drama (K-Drama) in the Philippines.

Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s proposal to forbid the broadcasting of Korean drama throughout the nation gets a response from Grácio on Twitter. It will be recalled that Estrada made a comment in which he asserted that it is preferable for Filipinos to enjoy their own inventions as opposed to foreigners’ efforts.

The author Grácio was one of those who reacted, disagreeing with Estrada’s suggestion. Instead of banning Korean drama from the Philippines, Grácio argues, the government should invest more in its entertainment sector to ensure the integrity of other nations’ programming.

It seems to have hit Estrada as well. He appealed to stop lashing in K-Drama and instead invest more money in the industry, in the training of industry personnel, the economic security of production and creatives, tax reduction, and more incentives.

You should ban the plunderers from the Senate, he added in his Twitter post. It also questioned the number of politicians from the showbiz industry who seem to have done nothing for the industry.

“Ke rami-rami nating kasama sa showbiz na nasa Senate at House, ano na nagawa nila para sa industriya at sa mga manggagawa sa industriya? Tapos, aanchahin ninyo ang KDrama?” he said.

“Kung matitino lang sana, sa dami ng mga politiko natin na dating artista, matagal na sana nating naungusan ang South Korea,” he added.
