Commercialism...

"It's not mural art. This is someone trying to sell a product. This is commercialism. You have a multi-conglomerate operation coming into the city and breaking our laws." - Mary Tracy

So, like a number of third world countries, the Philippines falls victim to American commercialism, yes, they were under the US for awhile, taking on their school structure and calendar, being only allowed to speak English in class, home of numerous US military bases, it's no wonder it's embraced commercialist, corporate American values. This mural in one village is a testament to that idea. This hypes up cable network TV and how is consumes lives, a TV that big? In a living room like that? Never seen anything remotely close to that in your typical Filipino home. And only 3 people present? Weird...should be 13... ;)
