Spell REMITTANCE... R-E-M-I-T-T-A-N-C-E!!!

The LBC issue is now resolved... Thanks to the openness of the remittance firm and they voluntarily ordered their advertising agency to discontinue the airing of their TV commercial where a young student spelled the word 'R-E-M-I-T-T-A-N-C-E' to 'L-B-C' possibly despite the fact that they may have invested a lot of money in creating it.

Does anybody believe that the spelling of the word 'remittance' is 'LBC'? Well, personally some people might especially the young ones. But I believe that the war against "misleading advertisements" is far-fetched. As they say, "You may have won the battle but you haven't won the war". As almost all TV commercials are misleading in some way and some are probably more disturbing than the LBC commercial especially to children thus in relation to this LBC issue should be discontinued to be aired as well. An energy drink TV commercial where a man is heavily bumped by a raging train without even a scratch... A juice drink TV commercial where a boy who jumped over a fast water truck...

And we're just talking about TV commercials as the channel for misleading and disturbing contents - there's still other channels such as TV shows (even cartoons), radio shows, internet, cellphone, other people in the community, school, etc. Just like the latest sex videos of Dr. Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili that is circulating on the internet and cellphones which can easily be accessed by children. How can we prevent such contents especially via the internet and cellphones? IF it can be prevented via such platforms [though I doubt as bad people are very resourceful in doing bad things], when will that be? By that time, children have already accessed it and may have misunderstood it already... That's why for me, the BEST solution [supplementing this with airing out to the concerned agencies] to this war is for parents, older siblings, older people, etc. to properly guide them [young ones and immature old people included] on what you think is right or wrong.

I admire LBC for being socially-responsible but not everyone is like that - welcome to the reality. And congratulations as well to those who are tireless in fighting against these threats to children but I hope you supplement it by properly guiding the young ones and teaching the same thing to other people as well. More power to all of you!
