Juana dances the Cha-Cha on YouTube

December 9, 2008 5:21 PM | 9 Comments | No TrackBacks
By Marjorie Gorospe Director Mae Paner, the person behind an inspiring interpretation of national a nthem âLupang Hinirang,â has come up with another video. This time itâs about t he cha-cha. Taking on the character âJuana,â Paner plays two characters. One is a dance ins tructor showing the right steps to doing a cha-cha. The other is a character showing the steps to a different cha-cha, which is a s horter description of charter change. Instead of showing the right moves, Juanaâs alter ego describes how "cha-cha" i s done. Just like the dance, the political cha-cha follows right timing -- knowing when to lie-low as public unrest emerges and when to revive the cha-cha to cover up scandals. In an earlier interview with Paner, she mentioned about upcoming projects of th e âconvergence team.â She said that âJuana Change: CHA-CHAâ is actually a result of peopleâs reaction to the Lupang Hinirang video, which is also up on YouTube. As the video ends, Paner delivers this statement, which is her take on the curr ent state of the Philippines: âAng mga taong bayan ngayon, mga tanga.. ang mga magagaling nagsipag-abroad na. Ang mga natira na lang dito iyong mga walang mag awang sumasali na lang sa Wowowee, tumataya sa Lotto o naghihintay ng remittanc e abroad [The citizenry are becoming foolish. The smart ones have gone abroad. Those left are often seen joining Wowowee, betting on Lotto and waiting for rem ittances from abroad].This country deserves people like me.â She then snorts, a s if saying that the country has gone to the pigs.

How very true . . . . . especially on the part where she says "Ang mga tao dit
o (sa Pinas) ay iyong mga naghihintay na lamang ng remittance at tumataya ng Lo
tto and hoping to be part of any game shows that give away big amount of money.
" Pero disagree ako sa part na "Ang mga tao dito mga tanga." Pulos nga sila ma
gagaling especially the politicians and the religious group na ang feeling nila
sila dapat ang mamuno sa pagpapatakbo ng bansa. The bishops are having a numbe
r of field days on various issues - actually all issues. We have become a coun
try of usiseros and pakialameros kaya ang pangit ng image natin abroad. Kapag
napintasan naman tayo especially ng mga foreigners nagagalit tayo. Eh iyon ang
nakikita eh.

Kudos to you Ms. Paner. You're so sexy, beautiful and gifted. Your parody of CH
A-CHA reminds me of the CAPITOL STEPS and Mark Russell's spicy satires sprinkle
d back and forth at the lawn of White House and Capitol Hill.

Please re-enact or pantomime the story of the King's or Qeeen's New Clothes. It
will be hot on YOU Tube.
