SCANDAL!!! PART 2 - THE DELETED RAVE REVIEWS OF "DIARY NG PANGET" REEMERGED TO HAUNT : So Why Would Other Asians Sabotage Pinoy Films In The Spanish-speaking Sites?

Part 1        SCANDAL!!! THE "DIARY NG PANGET" & "SHE'S DATING THE GANGSTER" MYSTERY: They Don't Want Pinoy Teen Flicks To Shine In The Limelight (They Sabotaged Them Instead !!!)

The hit Pinoy teen film Diary ng Panget became the toss of the Asiatic film-loving world in late 2014, paving the way for the upsurge of interest on Pinoy teen stars in  a widely-scattered market hooked on entertainment freebies from Asia but already weary of the usual Asiatic faces on the menu for years. Alas, the popularity of the top Pinoy teen films alarmed the villains lurking in the dark and apparently, they couldn't allow the Pinoy teen stars  to steal the limelight. She's Dating The Gangster (SDTG) was released on January 1, sustaining the popularity surge started by Diary Ng Panget (DNP) . Suddenly, on the last week of February, all the rave reviews of both DNP & SDTG disappeared. When I wrote the original article, I thought it was only in one particular site, Cineasiaenlinea.com,  but it turned out, the sabotage was done in the whole Spanish-speaking blogosphere: it came in many forms, some website disappearing, rave reviews deleted, & in one site, the biggest, it never had the chance to be watched because DNP's subtitles were suddenly pulled out for some alleged rechecking, but it's already the middle of 2015, and the subtitle never reappeared (in that site, neither She's Dating The Gangster had a subtitle). One can see the pattern: they saw the Pinoy films create waves which came in rapid succession- "Diary ng Panget" in late 2014 & "She's Dating The Gangster" on New Year's day, and by February they immediately undertook suppressive measures on the two films. Surprisingly, it had a racist component, too:  The Pinoy film with Mongoloid stars went on as usual and it appears, that was part of the script, the Filipino Mongoloid should "overshadow" the resurgent non-Mongoloid Pinoy teens in all the sites (in fact, in the biggest site which is not named for now but will be later, only one Pinoy film was translated for 2015 & it's the same Filipino Mongoloid star being promoted, though the reception was way below the energy level received by the non-Mongoloid teens, as we'll see later in this series of articles). So what was the reason why the two Pinoy teen films that were being raved upon suddenly became pariahs?  The young kids were creating waves in the very age demographic that was targeted by the promoters behind this pirate film racket. The Asian film freebies appear now as mainly the lure to capture a ready market for kpop promotions but the Pinoys stole the thunder instead. Worse, they had non-Mongoloid cute faces. And why specifically in the Spanish-speaking areas? We will all answer that in time.

So, were the rave reviews gone forever? Below is how the Diary ng Panget page now appears at Cineasiaenlinea.com. At left lower corner, you'll see there are only 12 comments & the first one was only written on March 3, 2015. The film was first shown on the same site on October 16, 2014 (My Spanish friend said that thanks to our initial article which gave focus to that site, no more deletions were done there, & while DNP was buried inside, SDTG was able to remain on the front page &  still able to recover 37 new comments against the lost 60 rave reviews).

But wait, below is how the page appeared on February 8, 2015. Wonder of wonders, it had 70 commentaries then, and that was two weeks before all of them were deleted on the last week of February.

If you want to read how much the young girls in Spain & Latin America went gaga over the film, you can read all of their gushes below. Yes, the villains thought they were able to erase the popularity of the film but it turned out we have copies after all. He- he- he..., Villains  can  be comedians too, so here we go... (BTW, on the page shown above, you can see that the fans, delighted by DNP, were requesting for the other Jadine movie, "Talk Back and You're Dead: Remember that: that fact plays a big part in the mystery that we're going to unlock in our series of articles).

      I divided them into 6 image files (screenshots from my 7" tablet),  just click to enlarge and read how Spanish-speaking fan girls giggle about our cute non-Mongoloid Pinoy teen idols. NOTE: They don't gush like this about the other Asian stars except for the planted which you can easily verify by clicking on the names of the supposed fans to reveal they are paid beat writers designed to promote Kpop (this propaganda trick is widespread in the Philippines too, they infest even the broadcast & Youtube forums, as we'll describe deeper in a future article about their propaganda network in the Philippines. One thing you'll learn is how much the villains invested on a wide multinational propaganda network designed to create a pseudo-political noise about their "popularity").

This article is the first proof that Pinoy films were deliberately sabotaged in the Spanish-speaking sites. So far, for now, no discernable countermeasures in the other language sites were  noted except for the usual (but now understood) limited availability of Pinoy films.  The focus on Spanish-speakers was telling. Again, why? I have the answer to that finally but this is going to be a series where I'll discuss the anatomy of the sabotage and their socio-political implications in order that we put everything in its proper perspective. I'll give my conclusions in the final part but you'll already be able to piece the evidence as we go along. I'll throw unmistakeable hints along the way. The perpetrators actually move with us and are active here, their propaganda network intermesh with our showbiz publicity system so this is not a whimsical isolated event. It just tells you Pinoys need to be more perceptive & insightful in their dealings.

So, who's the culprit? Clue: these pirate sites are actually part of the promotional racket of a particular group. The fact that the sabotage was multi-sites confirmed they were the culprits.

The silver lining to all this is that we know that the Pinoy brand sells. The success of James Reid, Jadine, Daniel Padilla & Kathniel in the pirate world is proof we are are bigger than our shoes. But the pirate world is not good business, they only serve as barometers of what sells. And even without the wide pirate propaganda network, we are selling: the success of Marian Rivera & Kathniel around our neighbors & now the overwhelming success of Lizquen in Kazakhstan (with leaks into the Post-Soviet space) are just a few of the indicators we just have to develop a clearer blueprint going forward if we want the big-time. Right now, the fan membership of Forevermore in Kazakhstan is bigger  than the whole membership of the Asiatic film-loving pirate community in the Post-Soviet area (mainly Russia & Kazakhsatn) so if we only focus on regular business deals, we  can be popular even without the publicity kick from the pirate world. Or,  perhaps we could even imitate, though in a less malignant form, the propaganda tactics of the villains? In effect, this series of articles could shed light on other ways of selling our already confirmed popular products.

In the next post, we'll return to the Philippine setting & let's look at their tentacles here before we traipse around the world again. Do you know many of the names pretending to be avid fans you read very often  on our forums are their beat writers (these mercenaries are the most ubiquituous because that's their job)? This is going to be fun but educational. Curiously, it is even funny. The most important thing: the dark events just confirmed we're a beautiful people & unfortunately, we make the trying-hard insecure. Not our fault....
