My Pinoy TV Turns One
Let's face it, leaving the country is tougher than it seems to be. Although there is the promise of a “greener pasture”, having to leave your safe place and practically throwing yourself to a land where you're barely known is quite a scary thought.
Filipinos are known all over the world for their warmth and that “never-say-die” spirit. Filipinos smile despite the adversities they face – no matter how life-threatening or serious the matter, Filipinos find a reason to smile, giving the world a amount of positivism. Television with this thought, the Filipino braves a whole new world in another land.
“Homesick” is a word mostly heard from overseas Filipino workers (OFW). There's no hemp, palabok, bagoong, manggang hilaw and isaw in the land of pasta, garlic bread and hamburgers; they miss the Saturday family lunch after hearing Mass, the fiestas and the lazy afternoons spent spending time with others who live nearby. And of course, they miss their own families.
But a Filipino is not a Filipino without his local entertainment. A night used to not be complete without watching his favorite idol on TV Teleserye. Saturday afternoons are supported by the latest showbiz tsismis. But he's distant from all that now.
Taking advantage of everything technology has to offer, Pinoy TV brings the Filipino abroad closer to home giving him the easiest access to his favorite Television shows: through the Internet.
