nag-seek lang yan ng attention para sumikat...... negative publicity is still a publicity..... wag na patulan para di sumikat!!!!! ^^

Truth Hurts ika nga...fictional man o hinde! still, tayo rin ang nakakaalam kung anu ba talaga ang sitwasyon ng Manila.

tama yung sabi ng isa dito na, "Denial is a way out if you cannot handle too much negativity" I love Dan Brown, one of my favorite author, meron ako nung Angels and Demons at Da Vinci Code, next in line na tong Inferno.

sana let's take his observation of Manila in a positive way! yung mga politiko sigurado ang magre-react sa mga ganitong bagay, kasi kitang-kita na wala naman silang ginagawang pagbabago para sa Manila.

I'd say this was pretty much a good description of the "true" Manila, aside from the hordes of people who only live there to work and actually live and vote outside (hint : erap won)

it is not necessary mean sikat yung author e sikat din ang works nya

sikat ang disney pero nag-flop ang john carter forcing the CEO to resign
sikat ang SONY pero may mga products silang nag-flop

dan brown doing this hindi dahil sikat na sya but to promote sales ng book nya because he knew maiingay ang mga pinoy therefore people will get curious and read the book

I doubt this, may malaking fanbase na sya since Da Vinci, and the local market is not of significant size to impact his sales; Nagkataon lang na kelangan nya ng setting, at Manila natripan nya, that's all there is.

Mga tol mapapansin niyo kasi minsan napaka sensitive ng pinoy, minsan overacting pa. Kung sana tignan natin kung bakit na depict na ganun kasi sa mga mata naman nating mga nakatira dito talagang ganun eh, siguro kaya nasasabi ng mga turista na tropical paradise eh dahil may pera sila, eh kung iparanas sa kanila na mabuhay sa iskwater yun pa rin ba ang review. Palibhasa kasi ang gusto lang ng pinoy marinig ay yung maganda sa pandinig pero kung criticism man, kahit constructive pa yan eh malamang maging excomunicado pa yan. Sad but true but guys sana we take it as a challenge for improvement.  smoking::

Ano ba ang issue? Totoo naman. Ang magsasabhing hindi totoo, hindi pa siguro nakalabas ng Maynila.

may malaking fan base na siya at di na kailangan ng publicity parang si j.k. rollings din yan inaabangan na ang susunod niyang mga nobela

sikat nga si dan brown... puro kalokohan naman pinagsusulat.....

may isang kawawang tao dito na walang alam... baka di mo alam ang meaning ng FICTIONAL?

When I read about this, I had a good laugh or two when I remembered who was voted into office as the new mayor of the "Gates Of Hell".

di kAYA  MGA PAGKARAMI raming
mga indie films na pinapalabas sa ibang bansa

opinion ko lang naman
