Meanwhile, in Peru... LA PROMESA, Muy Pronto?


So we return to Peru...

In many articles, we described how the Pinoy teen stars have been happily resurgent in many parts of the world... only  to be  sabotaged by the now familiar villains. We look again at the Peruvian end where we described in previous articles the usual modus operandi of  some alleged Korean drama "fans" in apparently sabotaging the showing of the Pinoy teleserye La Promesa.  While the successful time-slot of the first Pinoy teleserye to be shown in Peru, Puentes de Amor, was taken over by another Korean drama, it turned out there was another reason why the showing of La Promesa was postponed. Apparently the dubbing of the Pinoy teleserye was not finished on time.

Nevertheless, it came to our attention that the same sabotage modus operandi was continuing (see pic below). No need to react though. It's obvious, they are now only making themselves ridiculous, nobody pays them much attention there anyway. For nearly a decade, the Korean dramas have been shown there but they consistently languished with 1-2% percent viewership at the bottom. Still,  they were tenacious in clinging there despite the humiliation of being at the floor of the ratings of all the telenovelas coming from Mexico, Turkey, Colombia and the Philippines (all the while their propaganda machine was noisy about their alleged  popularity). But it's good they hang on there for many humiliating years more because they were finally lifted when Puentes de Amor arrived and they rode its coattails in the ratings. One result of the success of Puentes de Amor was the South Korean drama which was shown before it was noticed to be there after all.

TRANSLATION : In its place put a Korean drama, they are better

The Pinoys have been actually a boon to the South Koreans. That reminds us of what is happening in the Russian VK. With the popularity of the Pinoy stars after the success of Forevermore, certain fanpages of Pinoy stars were actually established by the same propaganda people of the South Korean stars, capturing the audience of the Pinoys, which otherwise didn't pay much attention to them, as ready objects of their propaganda.

Of course, that is only one of the uses of the Pinoys. Many fanpages of Pinoy stars have been established in the VK but most of them mysteriously disappeared. But some just as mysteriously reappeared in another form? That's for another post, as part of our series investigating the mysteries.

  1. Unfortunately malaking disadvantage nila ang mga pagmumukha nila. May limit naman talaga ang Plastic Surgery

    1. Yeah, it's a pity, Plastic Surgery has its limits. Nothing could be done about their looks

    2. It's sad really... dramas are visual and Koreans are not particularly good in visuals. I pity their propagandists really... they must get insane inventing spins... Stressful job

    3. Oh, as long as the propagandists are paid, they will invent. Pero masukasuka siguro sila no?

    4. huwag nga kayo magsalita ng mga ganyan dahil hindi nakakatulong yan sa teleserye natin.

  2. Palaos na rin naman mga Koreano... Maski mga Thai di na rin sila pinapansin. Marami na rin kasing Tisoy sa Thailand ngayon dahil sa dami ng mga naanakan ng mga tourists doon. Tama, lumulubog ang mga Koreano dahil sa itsura nila

  3. Hahaha matapos na mabisto na kulelat sila pirmi sa Peru, biglang nagfofocus ng todo ang propaganda nila roon. Gusto pa ring magkunwari na popular daw sila. Di na nagsawa... kung di nila nagawa na makahulagpos sa pagkakulelat sa isang dekada, ano ang magbabago e ganoon pa rin itsura nila?

  4. So sa iisang station lang pala sila ipinapalabas pero sinasabotage pa rin? Ibang klase pagkainsecure

  5. Tamang tama ang timing nitong article na ito. Nabulilyaso na naman ang PSY. Nawala na naman ang promo at biglang sulpot ang 2 koreanovela. Sana kung hindi pa sila handa o wala na silang balak ipalabas ito, wag na sana nilang ipromote pa, kasi nakakaloko na ipopromote nila ito ng 1-2 linggo tapos mawawala at biglang mapapalitan ng mga koreanovela.

    1. Mga maiikli kasi ang mga knovela, mabilis turnover. Pero di pa rin ako solved na sa Panamericana lang ipalalabas ang PSY. Mga Koreano lang makikinabang kasi mahihila uli sila pataas gaya noon with BOL. Expected mas kakagatin ang PSY kasi sa itsura lang ng mga artista parang Latin American din. Yan naman ang bentahe ng BOL, it was treated as a Latin work kaya nga isinali pa siya sa mga Latin telenovela sites. BOL was treated as more than Asian. With Ian Veneracion, etc. PSY will be treated more Asian-Latin American which makes it more palatable. They should market it to Latina more assiduously

    2. Ang problema parang ayaw ng Latina bumili ng Asian soaps. Kaya talagang pinagtitiyagaan nila ang mga Turkish soaps kahit pababa na ang rating.

      Delete
    3. Hintay pa... talagang tinatapakan ng America ang Latina sa rating.
      Dapat kasi wag nila imarket ang Pinoy teleserye na Asian soap kundi Latin Asian soap, ibang level na tayo kasi may added attraction na tayo bec of our history

    4. Kahit dun sa VK may napansin akong isang comment doon,na ibang klase daw ang pinoy soaps di raw sya pang Asian style,more like latin style daw.

    5. Di lang isa, maraming comments.Yong mga comment ng mga Russians ang basahin mo, maski sa mga pirate site sa Russian language... They consider Pinoys are more like Latin American than Asian.Kasi puti sila & they can differentiate & able to appreciate a mixed phenotype like the Latin Americans. Pinoys are in between Latins & Asians so we should market ourselves in a niche, na acceptable tayo sa parehong market. Kung magsusumiksik tayo sa Asian tag lang, mapaparehas tayo sa mga Koreano na accepted lang naman talaga sa kaparehong Mongoloid.Look at BOL, it became a hit in Panamericana because the actors were identified as Asians but they looked different unlike the Koreans, and were actually diversified like the mixed races of Peru itself so the locals identified with Mia, Carlos & Gael

  6. In fairness dun sa mga koreanovela nila, biglang taas ang rating, thanks to BOL na bago dumating eh 2% lang ang ratings nila.

    1. They are ganging up on Pinoy teleserye so they could distract the fact that after a decade of being the low-rating doormat of the telenovelas, the Koreans were finally noticed when the Pinoys arrived & pulled them up when the Pinoys rated higher. They are being defensive & are actually claiming now their sacrifice was paying off.They don't mention anymore the help given them by the Pinoys & trash them instead just so the truth would be deviated

    2. We are seeing now the reason why Diary ng Panget & Shes Dating a Gangster was sabotaged when they first became resurgent in Spanishspeaking sites in 2014.We are natural in a Latin audience. Now that a teleserye was actually shown on free TV in a low rating station even like Panamericana, the Pinoy teleserye rated higher than expected & was even included in Latin telenovela sites because Pinoys have natural affinity to its cultural brothers which they won't fail to recognize. Thats why the Koreans do all the sabotage so we won't overshadow them. We have already, thats why you could read in Peruvian forums that BOL would have performed better were it shown on Latina.
      We should change our marketing tactics & just leave the Asian tag to the Koreans so they won't be insecure. We're Asians but more- to the Latin Americans, let's market ourselves as Latin Asians bec we are

  7. Parang blocktimer nga yata ang mga koreanovela doon. Yung Primera Dama, biglang tinanggal sa ere sa hindi malamang dahilan pero ang sabi ng iba baka dahil mababa raw ang rating. Pero yung mga koreanovela, pinagtiyagaan talaga nila kahit di naman nagrerate at hindi naman tumaas ang ratings ng station nila.

  8. Sa totoo lang parang katatawanan na lang naman ang mga Koreano. Sino naman ang ulol na bibili ng 50 drama kung palpak ang rating nila at kulelat pa? Ipinalalabas na nga libre sa Internet tapos ganoon pa mga itsura ng mga artista. Parang kwentong katatawanan na lang naman ito para magpalipas lang ng oras

  9. I think aside from Peru, ipapalabas din ang BOL sa bansang Colombia at Ecuador. Not sure kung kelan o baka showing na.
