On Takipsilim
Guys, I think you're forgetting that this series is not for you. If you don't like it, then don't watch it. Remember that ABS-CBN is a channel for the masses. If you're not one of them, then it's not for you. Stop acting all elite-like and saying "Filipinos are copycats" because we are part of one nation, therefore you are including yourself. I just find it hard to believe how we cannot understand our own culture sometimes, how much we love to hate ourselves for every little mistake that we have...
It's always "Ang Pilipino kasi ganito, Sa Pilipinas kasi ganyan..." If you don't like it, then leave. If you can't be happy here, that only means that this culture is not fit for you. Try finding happiness somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, I am annoyed by a lot of things in this country of mine, but it doesn't mean I have to hate on it.
And besides, there's nothing original in the world anymore. The Philippines copies US, US copies Europe, Europe copies Asia, and all the permutations you can think of. It's just a cycle that's meant to go round and round.
Can you imagine how many Filipinos have not yet read or even heard of Twilight before? The Philippines isn't just Manila. Not everyone can afford to buy the book or see the movie. ABS-CBN's decision, aside from the ratings, is in the context of how the general masses will receive the series. So good on them.
BTW, I'm not a big fan of Pinoy showbiz either and I don't intend on watching this series since I'm not a big fan of Twilight anyway but I think it's selfish to judge how it operates just because I don't like it. PEACE OUT!!!
