- Entertainment writer Alwin Ignacio expressed disapproval on “Eat Bulaga!” segment “Suffer Sireyna.”
- The Abante Tonite columnist believes that the said spoof of popular “Super Sireyna” insults gay candidates.
Entertainment writer Alwin Ignacio fearlessly wrote an article on his column in Abante Tonite about his disapproval on “Eat Bulaga!” segment of “Suffer SiReyna.”
On his column published last March 9, the columnist said that the segment show no respect to the gay contestants.
“Ang Suffer SiReyna na “spoof” ng Super SiReyna ay hindi nakakatuwa, hindi nakakatawa at mas lalong hindi nagbibigay respeto sa mga bakla. Sa nasabing segment, pinaglalaruan, tinutudyo at lantarang pambabastos ang ginagawa sa mga baklang hindi kagandahan,” he started his article.
“Suffer SiReyna” is the spoof version of the more popular beauty pageant for transgenders “Super SiReyna.”
In the said segment, gay contestants are wearing long gowns while doing the ‘obstacle curse.’
“At anong klaseng pagkakalantad ito? Pinagsusuot ng long gown, isinasabak sa isang “obstacle curse” kung saan sila ay hihiluhin, patatakbuhin at isusuong sa kakaibang klaseng paligsahan.
“Sobrang pang-iinsulto at panlalait ang tinatanggap ng mga baklang salat sa kariktan na sa huli, barya-barya lang ang iuuwi,” the writer added.
According to him, the longest running noon time show is promoting that gays are subjects of laughter and insults.
“Sa isang pangmalakasang show na tulad ng EB, sa nasabing spoof, mas lalong nilang idinidiin na walang karapatan ang mga baklang pangit sa mundong ibabaw at ang palagian nilang papel sa lipunan ay para kutyain at gawing katawa-tawa,” he continued.
On his latter part of his article, he mentioned the host Allan K and Paolo Ballesteros for letting this kind of segment to disrespect gays.
“Nakakalungkot na ang mga tulad nina Allan K, Paolo Ballesteros at mga baklang kasali sa produksyon, sumang-ayon sa segment. Alam ko na ‘trabaho lang ito at walang personalan’ para kina Allan at Paolo pero ang ganitong pangmamaliit sa mga bakla, hindi lang dapat nagdadabog ang bangs nating lahat, dapat inaangalan, pinapalagan,” he wrote.
