Q3 - Americanization

As we all know, the primetime soap "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" of ABS-CBN did run well, having a lot of viewers, followers inside and outside of the country, the show lasted for like eight to nine months.

On our group discussion, we all approved that the show "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" showed americanization. To some viewers, the show's concept is somehow new to them for the show talks about surrogate mother and the effects on the family that made them curious. What made us picked this show is that the story revolves in violence and family war which everyone is aware that almost all "Pinoy teleserye" consists. The extension of the show made the story very draggy and predictable because it became a typical serye and we blame the people for it because the more violence and blood in the show, the more viewers it gets, it's just people watch the show for having a kidnapping, car chase, the forever shooting of one of the main character just to save the other main character scenes. So we guess that the writers followed what the viewers wants to see in the show and I think it may be a good and a bad idea at the same time.

But what we appreciate and love in "Ina. Kapatid, Anak" is that the filipino loving spirit were still present despite of all the killing and stuff. The modern elements they used such as in vitro fertilization and the shoe company and its symbolisms.
