Is this another issue or controversy for the philippines after the desparate housewives? on  “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart in one of the segment titled “Is America Ready for a woman president?” you will see a cut out picture of former president Cory Aquino with a word “slut” and three hearts which means “Corazon Aquino faced down dictators…”you will heard it were correspondent Samantha Bee delivers the line. the video is very funny except when they showed cut out pictures of four Female leaders. okay for example if we try to do this video depicting American leaders and put bad words to it what would they feel? maybe  we will suffer and receive a bad impact to them.  using this kind of spoofs in America is fine with them but what about us, we know that Filipina women are conservatives and this kind of joke is a big  insult not only for Pres. Cory but for all the filipina women and we know that many will react in this.  but i think the issue here is about ” Respect” Gabriela secretary general Emi de Jesus said  (I think any woman who would be called in that way would not dismiss it as a simple affront but a violation, a big dishonor to her humanity)”.

see the video below:
