Rogers is giving a free preview of a new Filipino channel up in the 600′s up until the 24th. My parents have been watching the channel a great deal in the past few days. I never thought that I’d actually be interested in it, but it’s sort of oddly captivating. All of these F-dramas, news shows and silly game shows are kind of fun, mostly because this is all stuff that I haven’t seen before. It’s still fresh to me, and in a language that I can mostly understand. I mean, I can see similar show types on Fairchild, but hey, I don’t know Mandarin or Cantonese. So, this is a rare chance then to absorb stuff that’s targeted directly to me.

I don’t think my parents are going to order the channel, so when the preview ends that’s it. Thing is, I think later on when I’m in my own place I’ll at least consider getting it for myself. It’s strange. I don’t normally associate myself with being Filipino–first and foremost, I am Canadian. However, perhaps, having such a channel is a good way of linking back to my heritage, know what I mean?
