On the other hand, here's something a friend of mine wrote: "That's too much ado over nothing. We should not be onion-skinned about being the butt of a joke in a TV serial. Instead, we should wonder why our (medical) schools have a poor reputation. It's about the blatant forgeries at Recto, the profit- hungry diploma mills, the cheating scandals in board exams, election fraud, etc. Foreigners could say worse things about us."
What do you think?
Epilogue: Well, apparently it's a big enough deal. :-)
