by Daryl Lagos, Azkals United The Philippines came from behind to win a historic spot in the Semi-Finals of the AFC Challenge Cup 2012. Proud Filipinos celebrated this win but this TV news anchor spilled his gut on his morning show on national TV stating racist comments towards the players of the Philippine NAtional Football Team. ”Di naman sila mga Filipino, nagpapanggap lang na kayumangi...” Slandered a way to weave himself to his biased point that the Azkals are "Sex offenders:... "Alam naman nila yung mga sexcapades ng bawat isa..kung sino ang ngpepenecilin.." A tag-line of GMA 7 News is " walang kinilingan, walang pinoprotektahan, serbisyong totoo lamang " " Nothing is Favored, Nothing is Protected, No Lies, True Service Only " I think GMA 7 can very well discipline this anchor for misleading public opinions towards a sensitive issue that has yet to be proven. In addition to this are the comments raised of the eligibility of these football heroes and insulting the feelings of their family, supporters and friends. ESPN fired an employee, suspends an anchor after insulting racial reference to rookie New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin which goes to show that ESPN cared about the viewers who got offended by a racist remark on an athlete. I don't think GMA 7 should treat this lightly because if they do, it only goes to show how they try to protect its anchors biased opinions, favoring a party of the accuser and letting them play around sensitive issues. These people who are in National TV should be responsible enough on their words and to not arrogantly speak about their one-sided thoughts plus the fact they have not even had the chance to speak thoroughly with any from the AZKALS party. Then there are the comments to the female supporters that jump because the team has good looking players...I smell personal insecurity there, I thought u were trying to speak your mind of respecting females, while in this very fact you insulted them right on? Neil Etheridge tweeted : " So let me get this straight... Are people trying to say that my mums not Filipino? So I shouldn't play? Thought WE were a proud country? " "....frustrating when we pour our hearts out and play with our hearts in our sleeves when we play all for the country " Cesca Litton Tweeted : " If we go by Arnold Clavio's definition of "Filipino" as being "lumaki dito" and "kayumanggi" then we just lost millions of people." Angel Locsin Tweeted : " I think arnold clavio's a good person. But this time, sobrang foul lang. That's his opinion. This is mine. Madali lang sumira ng reputasyon, mahirap ibalik. Konting sensitivity lang sana.." Bob Guerrero Tweeted : " Mr Clavio I dare u to tell the moms of our filfor players to their faces that their sons hav no ryt to call themselves Pinoys. #ArnoldClavio " I feel sad personally for the FILIPINA mothers of these players because of the foolish statements uttered by these ignorant news anchors. GMA 7 should fire if not suspend your ignorance. at the start of the video, the female news anchor even said "..Dapat masampolan..." Dapat po yata kayo ang sampolan. Azkals United Cause: Fire if not suspend Arnold Clavio of GMA 7 and we demand a Public Apology from the UH Anchors.

Lyn Ching was infront of him. She is singkit, maputi with a surname Ching. Filipino din ba sya? Ni hindi naisip yun ni Arnold Clavio. I've been stalking all GMA News accounts on twitter and Facebook, still, no comment from that Arnold Clavio boo-boo. I agree that everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, but if you're on national TV, you should practice extreme caution on what you're saying, specially because you have THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK info-mercial and WALANG KINIKILINGAN tagline. And then they have the nerve to report the Azkals win, SHAME ON YOU GMA! PcrUzer 03/14/2012 00:38

Welcome to reality Philippine media, that you are not that smart as you think you all are, that people whose sole duty is to read the TelePrompTer should not have an opinion and actually blurt it out because it exposes their true stupidity. Most importantly, welcome to the realization that we can be racist and not know it. Jayjay 03/14/2012 00:54
Ano naman ang ginawa ni Mr.Arnold Clavio? dinagdagan na naman nya ang problema ng istasyon nya, alam nyo bang may nauna nang ginawa si Arnold Clavio?, mag pa-public apology kaya itong GMA? eh kung sa 30,000+ na nagboycott sa kanila sa facebook http://www.facebook.com/kotawinters (di pa kasama ang hindi marunong gumamit ng social networking) hindi sila makapag public apology eh! sana lang kung mag public apology sila isama narin nila sa pagpapublic apology nila ang ginawa nilang una!....

"Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion" yea it is... and being a journalist or a Media person, yea they really entitled to say their own stuff.. but being RACIST and bias is not to be on their character, i think ARNORLD CLAVIO MUST RESPECT each and every individual, he should have been sensitive to every words he will say and because of what he just said, i think he should be the one to be called NAGPAPANGGAP lang na KAYUMANGGI, nagpapanggap lang na filipino, shame on him i think because true Filipino knows how to value things as it is no matter what, who it is.. japhs 03/14/2012 03:28
bakit kayo galit kay arnold clavio?on the other side tama naman sinabi nya ha..mula ng dumating yang mga half blooded pinoy na yan..eh nasira na pati yung reputasyon ng mga kapwa nila players (na matitino.!.)abuso na rin kasi sila..porke sikat..pwede na silang gumawa ng katarantaduhan??hindi yan pe pwede. Anonymous 03/14/2012 04:13
hindi ka ba nakakaintindi? as a journalist, dapat alam mo ang ginagawa mo. dapat maging fair ka sa binabalita mo. what he did there was wrong. alam mo yan. hindi niya alam ang buong istorya kung ano talaga ang nangyari dun. wala pa ngang lumalabas na resulta sa imbestigasyon eh, pinangungunahan niya na. and he's being one-sided. halatang kinakampihan niya si Cristy Ramos. Racist nga. XD sandra 03/14/2012 04:41

tama! dodong 03/14/2012 13:26
clavio should really be sacked/axed/fired, whatever you want to call it. i believe there's only two players who were involved but to generalize it to the whole team is entirely wrong. it was not about sexual harrassment, it was about some of the azkals not being 'kayumangi" enough for clavio. last time i checked my television, half of those on the show qualify as half breeds, but who am i to say that they are not filipino. of course they all are. Anonymous 03/15/2012 02:04
the two Azkals who were accused of sexual harassment apologized for the alleged incident in their dugout saying its all was a misunderstanding but Arnold Clavio and other UH anchors basically did not believe them.... Arnold now issues a sort of an apology for his comments but then the Azkal fans don believe him... isn't it Ironic? oh 03/16/2012 09:23
That official statement of Clavio's was no apology. Nakisawsaw na naman si Angel Locsin! Ang issue dito ay sexual harassment at walang respeto ng 2 members ng Azkals sa babae. Walang respeto sa authority. Huli na nilang nalaman na isang malaking tao pala si Ramos. star 03/16/2012 10:14
si angel locsin naman nakita mo.. hello kapag hindi ba lumaki sa pinas hindi na pilipino.. ang kitid ng utak mo no?... followers ka ba ni clavio ur not thinking before saying something... sino bang gustong maglaro for free? they need something for a living konti na nga na budget for the NATI eh.. utak suso ka pla... pipi and bingi 03/16/2012 08:50

kayong taga PFA na humihingi sa GMA Management na isuspend si Arnold Clavio, isuspend niyo rin 2 tauhan ninyo na bastos at walang respeto sa babae!!!! Mukha Mo 03/16/2012 09:20
hindi pa proven yung sa 2 players, pero kung totoo man yun dapat silang parusahan. Ang pinagtataka ko lang eh kung bakit hindi siya mismo muna nagsumbong sa PFF at kay Dan Palami... hinintay munang umalis yung mga players para sa tournament... sa Nepal tapos saka nagsumbong sa isang tabloid writer, media (namely GMA 7) at sa mismong AFC... ibig sabihin binaypass niya ang PFF at yung Team Manager. Hindi ba kataka-taka sa tuwing may tournament ang NT natin eh laging may issue na ganito? brb 03/16/2012 10:19
this is so right.. napaka unprofessional niyang si ramos.. manang mana sa ama.. i never liked them.. i never even liked her father as president and yet naghahanap siya ng paraan para makilala tatakbo ba yan?.. i smell fishy on this old woman.. if i know baka nabayaran din yan ng 7 for a very very good story, crab mentality.. buset!!!!!! napaka tanda na niya para pagnasaan ng mga azkals hello....... wagMasyadongASSuming 03/16/2012 09:21

di pa po proven kung talagang guilty! pero si Clavio guilty tlga sa mga racist comment nya! Fire Rhea Santos As Well 03/16/2012 09:54
Why just Arnold Clavio? Fire Rhea Santos as well! Fire her for her sexist remarks about female Azkal fans and football lovers. Excuse me, but I'm a decent enough person not to throw myself onto a player like she said I would, and I'm sure that a lot of fans will feel the same. It's a sad day when females gender-discriminates against other females. Sorry, pero SIYA rin "kailangan sampolan." What in the world 03/18/2012 16:41
exactly my sentiments. I'm not that cheap to throw myself to the AZKALS players, I know myself and I know my limitations.. ang problema sa kanya masyado niya nilahat. And all of them are saying na wala silang pinapanigan? Masyado namang obvious na may pinapanigan sila, eh inakusahan na nnga nila eh..tsk Arn Arn Bugok 03/16/2012 11:10

Too bad GMA 7 support the likes of Clavio and Santos, used to adore them - but what they said was really wrong. If they truly believe that they did not malign anyone with their statement, all they had to do was just sincerely apologize if they appeared to be offensive to anyone. However the network now is justifying their actions. This bigots will continue to be who they are - racist bastards pretending hiding on the skirts of journalism. Genuis has its limits, stupidity - endless (forgot who said that) ... Stormrage14 03/17/2012 01:10

Si AC sa tingin ko nilabas nya lng what he feels or let say nilagay nya ung sarili dun sa sitwasyon ni Ramos, may point sya being pinoy u need to have the heart.. kahit saan k pa lumaki or half blood kaman if u have the heart,pinoy kana, Usually kasi Filipino guys are respectfull lalu na sa mga babae.. but then di sya dapat ng over reaction(comment). pero should be forgiven.. noGGy 03/17/2012 06:53

Kaya namin nagustuhan ang AZKALS dahil oo sige gwapo sila pero hindi lang yun lahat eh! Magagaling din sila. Sumikat sila kasi MAY TALENT sila plus GOOD LOOKING sila kaya naman sumikat sila. May nakita ka na bang humubad sa harap ng AZKALS para masabi mo yun? ako wala pa naman kaya sana lang wag kang magcomment ng ganun. Parang hindi ka marunong rumespeto sa kapwa mo babae eh.
