SA AUSTRALIA

Ako si Larry na nakatira sa Sydney,Gusto ko sanang gumawa ng maikling komentaryo sa iyong frustrations sa ating kapwa Pinoy. Alam mo,ganito rin ang trend sa australia,maiinis ka,Pinipilit ng mga kababayan natin na maging puti, kinukulayan ang buhok,pinipilipit ang dila, nag lalagay ng blue eyes at kung ano ano pa . Kung tawagin ko nga poodle. Pero alam mo hindi naman nangyari ang mga bagay na ito ng basta basta na lang.

Pagkatapos ng mahabang pakikipag laban sa kastila ay pumasok iyang si Uncle Sam at natalo tayo sa gera.Binago nila ang ating edukasyon,sinimulan sa pitong taon gulang Pag pasok mo sa grade 1 ang ituturo sa iyo ay A is for apple.Natatandaan ko pa noon na bawal magsalita ng tagalog kapag nasa classroom.(Nakalimutan ko pala na hindi tumutubo ang apple sa pinas)Lahat ng inyong libro ay libro ng kano,ang medium of instruction ay Ingles, kaya kung sino ang magaling mag salita ng ingles ay mataas ang grade,you know FIRST HONOR.(Ibig sabihin ay iyong mismong iskwelahan ang pamantayan ay kung sino ang pinakamagaling maging puti. Syempre kapag ang VALUES mo ay naiba na, pati damit mo,itsura mo,taste mo ay mag babago narin.

Hindi ako magtataka na karaniwan sa mga pinoy ay nagsisisi at pinanganak silang Asyano.Ako kung tatanongin mo ako ay hindi ko rin alam talaga kung sino ba ang tunay na Pinoy, lumaki rin ako sa tug tog ng beatles,at rolling stones,Ang pantalon ko ay Levis,Mas magaling akong tumugtog ng rock n roll kesa sa mga puti dito.( hindi sila makapaniwala na mas puti ang taste ko sa music kay sa sa kanila. Ang ibig ko lang sabihin ay binura talaga ng mga mananakop ang identity ng pinoy to serve their purpose.

Hindi ba kung magaling kang mag ingles ay magaling ka ding UTUSAN dahil maiintindihan mo ka agad ang iyong amo? At sempre bibilin mo iyong mga produkto nila para maging kamukha ka talaga nila Kaya pati ekonomiya ng iyong bansa ay bagsak. Pero hindi naman lahat ng pinoy ay nagpaloko na lang,Marami ang tumutol sa ganitong sistema at namundok at nag-alay ng kanilang buhay,mag pasa hang gang ngayon.Ang nakikita mo ay iyong mga pinoy na biktima ng mga mananakop.

Nelson Bohol, who seems to be hugging the limelight these "Cars" days have rejoined siblings, kins and friends in his hometown in Catbalogan, Samar.

The 40 something animation artist from world class Pixar, USA took time out from guestings for the animation movie "Cars" premier in Manila.

In Catbalogan, Nelson or "Boy" to his friends and playmates rekindled his ties with the rural folks and even trekked to Pangdan, Catbalogan where he was joined by siblings Vicky Bohol (publisher of Samar Monitor) and elder sister Evelyn who is a banker.

The animation artist also visited Samar National High School in Catbalogan which he acknowledged was a great force that inspire him to excel. In return, this world class talent wants to "return" favors to the school and inspire young Samareños to excel in whatever field they choose.

Despite his global stature, his feet says sister Evelyn has remained solidly planted on the ground and still remembers his former neighbors and playmates.

As the guy recounted his journey to Pixar, he said he has met a lot of hardships and challenges and because of his determination, has beaten the odds and made it.

He would like to advise the young people of Samar to "keep swimming" one favorite line from the animation movie "Finding Nemo". In life, he said, many obstacles are bound to block ones way to greatness but if you are steadfast, you can overcome and be the guy you wish to be.

He added that "Finding Nemo" was one of the handiwork of a team where he was a part. He humbly told PIA that he does not plan to take all credits, he was part of the team, he emphasized.

As a young child, he said, he started drawing Mickey Mouse and marvelled at how Disney movies were made, Yes, there was art in his blood and acknowledged that his late Dad was a painter. When he went to Manila to pursue his architecture degree, the more impassioned he has become with the animation craft. After graduation he was able to land a job as an animation artist from then he moved to America and the world opened wonders for a simple man with great talents named just "Boy".

Today, he would like to share his talent specially to Samar. This simple hunk who could qualify to be in the movies just entered and exited Catbalogan without the funfare that befits a famous artist.

Catbalogan Cable TV Media Advocates Nucleus (CCATMAN) President Ray Gaspay would have wanted to feature the famous "pixarian" in his TV show, but Gaspay did not notice him come and go.
