Received today... No doubt some of you will have had a personal message from this person. Would you please let us know what you think about it...?? it is entirely youir decision to take part in this. we are still unclear as to what is exactly espected and how the programme will eventually pan out. Just becareful you don't get caught in some cheap sensationalism. Contacts details are available just for asking in private.
Absolutely not interested, the Phils can be a dangerous place particularly for the children of foreigners who clearly look mixed race and often have very fair skin. While we have been lucky so far it is generally not a good idea to draw attention to ones family either here or over there and as many of us know Filipino criminal logic works along the lines of, he's a foreigner he must be rich, being on TV would not be likely to make them think we were any less poor (edit: meant less rich ) So I'm not putting my kids in danger of kidnap for ransom under any circumstances, hell I would much rather have them all here or be with them over there to protect them myself instead of the limbo we have been in for years. And quite apart from that I detest and loath with a vengeance the whole reality TV thing even if it is wrapped up as serious documentary and finally I have never had any desire to ever appear on television for any reason whatsoever under any circumstances. Hope I made myself crystal clear
It might be quite an 'interesting experience' for the right couple. It's not for me though, for all the reasons above and more.
Thats the big problem with shows, its all down the final edit and how they want to portray you. If anyone does go for it I'd say be very careful. I think I've seen a show in the past along these lines and it didn't show the british guy in a very good light. It's very easy for the program makers to make it all apear very sleazy etc.
Participants usually have absolutely no say on what goes into any final edits. Normally there are no 'indications' of what's 'on-the-record' and what not. Whatever get's said and done is recorded as the property of the production company.
it would be a good way for us to show how challenging our roads have been in terms of being together.. but, even when i was still in uni, i never looked good on cam and i always work behind the camera... this is interesting... but only if i would edit it myself! ahhww.. i miss doing documentaries... been years!!! but, not interested... my dad would kill me... LOL
