As I viewed it, though ABC Network had apologized for the discriminatory line the show Desperate Housewives had slipped through its season 4 premier, I still feel that they needed to retract the said line the same way as how they started and made it - through a script aired through the television.

According to ABS-CBN news correspondent based on North America who had acquired a short statement from the said network:

"The producers of Desperate Housewives and ABC Studios offer our sincere apologies for any offence (sic. offense) caused [by the insulting remark] in the season premier, ...There was no intent to disparage the integrity of any aspect of the medical community in the Philippines."

A short statement? Was that enough for an entire population being berated? I think not! They might not even write an apology if they were not forced to by the embassies, online petitions, and the Philippine Medical Association letters asking them to make a public apology on how they belittle the educational foundation of doctors in the third world Philippines.

It's quite shameful though that most of the time Filipino doctors and nurses were the ones who served the aged and sick people of some foreign lands, because the said foreign lands offers high compensations as compared to the Philippines per se. If however, the Philippines had just the same benefits and compensations those foreign lands offers then I think that most of the health care practitioners wouldn't end up helping and caring for those people in other countries.

Now, I am also pondering, what's next discriminatory line would they slipped through their programs and who's next in your line? As I've read there were racial issues already against African Americans, Chinese Americans, and other races who had migrated to the said land of milk and honey.
