NETIZENS fumed and lashed out at Sen. Jose 'Jinggoy' Ejercito Estrada for his comments that South Korean television shows in the Philippines should be banned because Filipino artists are losing their jobs.

'From what I have observed, we continue to show South Korean television series and that our fellow countrymen idolize Korean actors, while our artists are losing their jobs,' Estrada said in Filipino during the Senate's budget hearing for the Film Development Council of the Philippines on Tuesday. 'So, sometimes I think of banning these foreign shows so that our own artists should be the ones we are showing instead.'
