CHR on Tililing poster: “Kinakailangan nating maging mas sensitibo sa pagtalakay ng isyung ito”
CHR – The Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines has condemned the poster of the movie Tililing.
On Valentine’s Day, February 14, CHR took to the social networking site Facebook wherein it posted an art card with a message condemning the said movie poster.
“Bagama’t naniniwala ang CHR na mayroong artistic freedom ang mga manlilikha, ikinakabahala nito ang paglalabas ng poster ng pelikulang ‘Tililing’ na nagpapakita ng stereotypical at discriminating na imahe ng mga taong may iniindang mental health illnesses.
“Marami sa ating mga kababayan ang nahaharap sa iba’t ibang mental health challenges na nahihirapang humingi ng tulong dahil sa stigma.
“Kung kaya’t kinakailangan nating maging mas sensitibo sa pagtalakay ng isyung ito lalo na sa larangan ng mass media.
“Marami nang miskonsepsyon na bumabalot sa usapin ng mental health at hindi makakatulong kung makakahon ito sa misleading na pagtingin.”
VinCentiments later reposted the said CHR artcard on their Facebook page and accompanied it with the message: “Mundo, Ito ang Pilipinas. Sino ang nangStereotype—ang poster o ang tumitingin. Sarili ang Suriin.”
Meanwhile, the film Tililing stars Baron Geisler, Gina Pareño, and Chad Kinis, directed by Darryl Yap. It is set to stream on March 5 on Vivamax.
