Some Gulong ng Palad Observations
I've been getting a peek of ABS-CBN's latest Gulong ng Palad soap opera and I couldn't help but wonder about some oddities.
For one, it seems that the country folk, particularly Luisa, Kristine Hermosa's character, always get to wear cool looking, spanking new branded clothes. I also notice how made up the characters are. And they're supposed to be struggling and poor?
Also, why in the world would the writers give the name Carding to the rich kid played by TJ Trinidad, love-interest of Luisa. "Carding" is, well, a traditional Filipinization of "Richard" or "Ricardo," but I don't think it's exactly a nickname a well-meaning mother from the elite class would give his beloved son.
Lastly, I'm not too fond of the haunting Gulong ng Palad theme. Too bad, since it's what I usually LSS on, since I hear it on TV all the time!

Post a Comment if you have something interesting to say.
you must take into consideration that the series was first aired in 1949, that's why the name Carding :)

jepoy, apart from having been first aired in 1949, the characters were most probably of the ilustrado class and therefore prone to using spanish first names and their derivative nick names... ricardo is nicked as carding.

on another aspect, have you noticed the lighting used in luisa's house? It has this golden amber quality that tended to make the interior of the house quite beautiful and not the house of poor people at all...
On the other hand, the light in the rich woman's house is almost bluish and made every garish looking...
I wonder what the intent was?
