On the DILG, the PNP and Ang Probinsyano

Ever imagined how it would be like to live within a state that's worried about the plot lines of some prime time show? If you're from the Philippines, your imagination won't be too taxed as it seems that's where we are now.

The Department of Interior and Local Government, and the Philippine National Police under it,  has recently called into question the plot lines of beloved prime time show "Ang Probinsyano".

I for one am not a fan of the show. I often question my mom about her fondness of it. But nonetheless, I've grown to accept that the show is a nightly routine for hers. The lame fight scenes, overly dramatic sudden close ups as the characters stare at each other, the incessant smiling and proselytizing of how goodness and badness are this and that and all that moralistic crap are there to stay on her schedule.

But if there is one good thing I can say about Ang Probinsyano, it's that it reminds me of the 90's action films that still remain tenants in my heart.
