This month’s issue of Reader’s Digest (Asian Edition) features an article on First Class Professionals, a hiring agency for Filipino musicians who are “exported” to other countries. Condescendingly titled Filipino Fame, the article patronizes showbandship indicating that the Filipino’s musical forte is in copycat as opposed to creativity. To add insult to battery, bands recruited by the agency all have names to start with the word “perfect”: Perfect Jam, Perfect Blend, Perfect Fire, Perfect Storm.
