Finally, after the Filipino community shared their views and rage to the Desperate Housewives Season 4 premiere episode, the producers of the hit US TV series issued an apology for the insulting line that belittled the practitioners of the medical profession in the Philippines."The producers of Desperate Housewives and ABC Studios offer our sincere apologies for any offence caused [by the insulting remark] in the season premier," ABC Network said in a short statement of apology obtained by ABS-CBN North America News Bureau.
ABC Network added: "There was no intent to disparage the integrity of any aspect of the medical community in the Philippines."
The network's apology came after the Filipino community, particularly Filipino health workers, in the US and doctors in the Philippines deplored the insulting line uttered by actress Teri Hatcher's character, Susan Mayer in the show's Season 4 premier aired Sunday.
In one of the premier's scene Mayer asked for the credentials of the gynecologist who examined her and told her that she was approaching menopause.
Mayer said: "Can I check those diplomas 'coz I just want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Philippines."
