This came from my blog on (soon to be closed) Friendster:
Since this is the first time am gonna write here. Please dont laugh. What happen today, i have so many problems i dont know what to do. Since i can’t resolve anyone of them i start watching TV. Good thinking mario. I just came accross this Voltes reruns. Luckily, it was the first episode. Same old gang of Steve, Mark, Big Bert, Little John and the beautiful chick named Jamie. If your not familiar with them. then, your not a Filipino. Why? Cause its the only japanese cartoon that was tested (english dubbed) here . The former President Marcos cancelled and ban Voltes V from airing on TV. Diffrent theories rose about it. ake your pick: (1) It conveyed message of rebellion (2) too much violence (watch out for Bleach) (3) the bozanian (evil) emperor was named Ferdinand (Ferdinand Marcos) issue and the Bozanian general was named Ver (Fabian Ver) (4) Channel 7 out rated 2 govt channels or (5) Too much hot sex - i wish. That’s why its considered the longest running cartoon - 20 years before you can watch the ending. What a joke. Despite of being japanese it is truly significant to the filipino society and history. We even have Tagalog opening song:
Sana ngayon kami ay malaki na
Upang makatulong sa hustisya
Huhulihin namin ang masasamang tao
Itatapon sa loob ng kalaboso
Ang mga kidnapper, carnapper dog-napper
isnatser at mga hold-up-er
Lilipunin naming lahat
Voltes V tatandaan
Yan po ang tatak namin
‘Pag nakita ninyo kami
magtago na kayo
Walang biro, lagot kayo
Pati na lolo n’yo!
