This is just something I find bizarre. Joe and Diana Suan, parents of the six-year-old Jan-Jan Suan, have filed on libel cases before the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office earlier Wednesday, April 13, against bloggers John Silva and Froilan Grate, and child psychologist Dr. Lourdes Carandang. It also says that According to the complaint-affidavit, Joe and Diana filed a case against Grate for making it appear that Jan-Jan is an “abused child” and that his family allowed Jan-Jan to be abused in exchange for money and fame. The lawyer said “Sila po ay naniniwala na walang pang-aabusong nangyari at sila ay di papayag, kahit sila ay mahirap, na maabuso ang kanilang anak ng sinoman. Gusto po nila na matigil ang lahat ng ito... Gusto nilang bumalik sa kanilang pribadong buhay. Ayaw po nila na magamit si Jan-Jan sa agenda ng kung sino-sinong tao,” Pineda said.

Some advertisers have started to pull their ads with Willing Willie after the Jan-Jan macho dance incident. Mang Inasal, a subsidiary of Jollibee has pulled their ads pending investigation by the network. The Internet community has been calling for boycott of the products of the show's advertisers.

And you wonder why the country is going down the drain?

I saw this video of 6 year old Jan-Jan on Willie Revillame's show Willing Willie. The boy was dancing like a "Macho Dancer" (male stripper). To be honest, I had to pause it several times because I cannot for the life of me watch this young boy do what just did. First of all, this boy's parents should be shot. I'm sorry, I do not normally swear on my post, but what the fuck were these people thinking? Who in their right minds would teach a 6 year old boy to macho dance? And why would they even subject this boy to this kind of embarrassment? Secondly, why did Willie Revillame or his producers even let this boy do what he just did? Did you even see Jan-Jan's face as he was dancing? He was crying! And his aunt was even happy about it? I mean, I can understand about the need for the money, but no amount of money is worth destroying your dignity. You may think it's funny because it's just a young boy and he may eventually forget about it. But how would anyon...
