TeleNOVELAs and Noontime Shows

This is what I have noticed on the Filipinos now a day. Everyone seems to be so hooked with these noontime shows like wowowee, eatbulaga. "Kulang nalang ay sambahin nila ang mga host ng show na ito, tipong ipagpapatayan nila para lang makapunta doon at kayang kaya nilang matulog at magantay magdamag sa iniidolo nila."

A lot really join this type of contests to be able to get money out of it for their living. This is where they get money to start of, plus enjoying the company of their favorite show hosts. However they put too much devotion on all these things that it seems to me they are worshiping it as if its their only salvation towards poverty. Is this reall because of poverty? or this is how greedy we Filipinos are for money?

Another thing that Filipinos get really hooked on, is the different tele-novelas that come poping out on every networks. they get so hooked on these type of stories that they put it into reality.

They believe in it and they apply and relate it to their daily lifestyle which sometimes turns out in a wrong way. They cry about it and get to affected on it that they forget the more important things that they should be doing rather than being too emotional about what they are watching.

Children who are able to watch traumatic scenes and morbid scenes actually tend to copy it for it is what they see and they think is right. Telenovelas are only to inspire viewers not to actually influence them on what they should be doing. I know, these telenovelas aim to satisfy and for their viewers to enjoy the show but i think too much addiction on it will lead them to a different situation.
