Japanese Idol Abused in Cebu

Kauruko Wakaba

Japanese filmmakers come to our beautiful islands to make movies, and how do we welcome them? We detain them, take their money, take their equipment, humiliate them, and blacklist them. That’s what happened to actress Miyawaki Yuki (aka Kaoruko Wakaba) and her crew in Cebu. They were fined $260 each, deprived of five video cameras, paraded before the press, and banished from our shores — all because some puritanical provincial politicians decided to play perverted peeping toms.

I feel ashamed to be Filipino right now.
