I'd
like ABS-CBN to be VERY CAREFUL in using CHILDREN in their TV shows. In
tonight's episode of teleserye "Ikaw Lamang", there was a scene where
the character of Franco (played by Jake Cuenca) was DEMONICALLY
HARASSING (NANLILISIK ANG MGA MATA; SINISIGAWAN NG BUONG LAKAS AT GALIT
ANG BATA HABANG TUMATALSIK ANG LAWAY; HABANG MAHIGPIT NA HINAHAWAKAN ANG
BRASO NG PASLIT) the character of the LITTLE GIRL
-MAYBE AROUND 3-4 YEARS OLD- (supposedly, according to the story,
accused by Franco as his wife's -Kim Chiu/Isabel- daughter with his
wife's lover Samuel -played by Coco Martin-). And the LITTLE GIRL,
subsequently CRIED. And I'm very sure that I saw in the Little Girl's
face REAL FEAR (not just make-believe fear), REAL FEAR, as she WAS
CRYING TERRIFIED OF THE DEMONIC-LOOKING and -ACTING FRANCO (played by
Jake Cuenca). Maybe Jake Cuenca can simply say that he's simply doing
what his Director required him; the Director in turn can say as it
simply was asked by the STORY. But the BUCK has to stop SOMEWHERE! Yes,
it's great to see great acting (if it actually is), to watch a nice
(hopefully so), TV show. BUT, CAN ALL THESE JUSTIFY PUTTING A LITTLE
GIRL (3-4 YEARS), A MINOR, in PSYCHOLOGICAL HARM'S WAY. ISN'T IT ABOUT
TIME FOR ABS-CBN TO REMIND ITSELF of what VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND
CHILDREN (VAWC) MEANS; ABOUT WHAT THE RIGHTS OF A CHILD MEAN. SHOULDN'T
MTRCB LOOK THIS UP? SHOULDN'T CHR LOOK THIS UP?
