May franchise kami kasi we pay our taxes', GMA's Doctolero reacts
"Sa totoo lang, at pagpapaka-totoo lang, hindi pa natin naaabot ang world-class…ang babaw ng pamantayan kung world-class na ang taguri sa mga show na pinroduced abroad pero same na kwento…boy meets girl eklavu…hindi world-class yun…magaling lang sa promo, at pinaniniwala kayo na sila ay world-class pero same content at molde," GMA headwriter and creative consultant Suzette Doctolero wrote in one of the three related posts "we're not yet world-class."
Gist of lengthy posts on Doctolero's Facebook account in relation to the "world-class" issue raised by ABS-CBN director Andoy Ranay.
Doctolero had to address the claim after trying to remain mum for several days when the issue broke out.
She presented her argument about being world-class as not limited to love stories partly shot in exotic places abroad.
World-class, she said, is about showcasing culture and making audience feel part of that culture. She cited works from Thailand and South Korea as perfect examples.
"Ang world class, kapag itinampok mo ang kwento, kultura at karanasang Pinoy, pero universal pa rin ang tema, kaya makaka-relate ang mga banyaga. For example, Korean ts, at humahabol na ang Thailand…maski naman ang Indian ay may Bollywood na talagang ang pagkakakilanlan ay sa kanila," she argued.
Doctolero continued by posing a question on which Filipino series classifies as world-class but features undeniable Filipino identity.
She said that many Filipino shows are inspired by Western concepts and are geared more toward entertainment, not necessarily cultivating Filipino culture and experience to the international audience.
She again raised more popular genre of love stories shot abroad and later marketed as world-class.
"Pansining iisa ang molde ng mga show…bidang breadwinner na mula sa mahirap na pamilya pero masaya sila kahit poor…chummy family, Brady Bunch concept…tapos mame-meet ang isang guy o girl na mayaman... same same. Iba-iba lang ang location. Baguio, Manila, Italy, Amerika, Timbukto, tralala…pero same kwento…same problema. Malaki lang ang mga artista…pero pwede nga itong isulat na nakapikit…," she wrote in a separate post, citing 1970s American sitcom, "Brady Bunch," which tells the story of a blended family who also stays positive amid challenges that come their way.
The GMA headwriter said that they do not claim to be world-class because they are aware that they still have a lot of room for improvement.
"Why? Kasi content is king…pero wala kaming claim na world-class kami kasi alam naming marami pang dapat gawin at ayusin at babaguhin…ang sinasabi ko lang: hindi po kami ang totoong basura…and yes, may franchise kami…kasi we pay our taxes... at yun ang totoong may class," she wrote.
Doctolero reiterated her earlier stand that creatives in the industry should level up.
"Hanggang diyan pa lang tayo e 'no? Hanggang pang-aliw pa lang... wala pa tayo roon sa inilalako natin ang kultura't eksperyensang Pinoy sa pandaigdigang market," Doctolero stressed.
In the end, Doctolero believes it takes more than local showbiz industry to work on achieving that world-class status. Government aid is still needed for it to happen.
"Mahirap pa kasing gawin ang world domination este pa world-class, '[yung totoong world-class ha, hindi promo..kinakailangan rin kasi ang napakalaking government support and initiative para ma-achieve ang totoong world-class…hindi pwedeng hindi…kailngang magtulungan ang government at entertainment industry para sa world-class goal…kaya hinay-hinay sa pagda-down sa iba at pagyayabang…malayo pa tayong lahat," she also stressed.
During a Senate hearing last year, representatives from the Bureau of Internal Revenue and Securities and Exchange Commission affirmed ABS-CBN paid its taxes regularly and did not violate any corporate laws for the past years.
Both government agencies said network has been compliant with regulations, contrary to allegations lodged against embattled media giant.
