Rex Navarrete: An insult to Filipino people.

Did you watched the video?

Insulting isn't it?

During my first time of watching this video I found it funny,hilarious! but gradually as I watched it again, I come to realized that this video wasn't really that funny. Rex Navarrete (the speaker) was trying to make fun of the Filipinos' pronunciation of English words. He was trying to portray an old man, owner of SBC Packers like it was in his story. He was intentionally trying to deliver his speech with Malice motives in order for his foreign audience to laugh! Pronouncing "packer as fucker" in front of foreigners for example. Mr.Navarrete is also making Filipinos a pathetic ones, trying to show to people that we are ignorant? i can't believe it!

This is also one of the reason why I can't blame foreigners with their perceptions to Filipino people like Filipinos are in the lower class or like Filipinos can not do better things than foreigners, because they can witness a Filipino himself insulting his own country.

In Psychology, Perception is a process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.Sometimes, individuals may look at the same thing, yet perceived it differently. For example "I love hongkong style noodle because for me it tastes delicious, however Kenneth my classmate doesn't like it because for him it doesn't tastes good. kenneth and I like the same thing (Eating), But we interpret foods differently. One of the reason is that we hold different standards toward food (he likes salty-sweet foods while I like soury-sweet foods).Kenneth doesn't like sour thats why he ended up disliking it (the noodle,tasted sour).
