In Need of Local Poker Shows

It is official. Poker has invaded the television sets of people from different countries, including the Philippines. However, there is only one local poker show in the said country. All other poker shows are Western. In addition to that, these poker shows in the Philippines can only be watched from cable channels. None of them are shown in the local networks of the Philippines.

Because of these Western poker shows, Filipinos get to learn more about the game they are beginning to love, which is poker. Some of these shows are hosted by the poker experts themselves. But, it could have been better if there were more local show on poker instead.

What are the benefits of a local poker show?

First and foremost, a local poker show would be using the National language, which means more Filipinos will understand what was being said throughout the show. The only existing local poker show today is in the English language. This leaves out the great population of Filipinos who could understand a lot better in Tagalog than in English.

Furthermore, if there were more local poker shows in the Philippines are needed because the Filipino sense of thrill and strategy is very much different from Western people. The American and the Filipino cultures are very much opposing with each other. Thus, it would not be surprising to find out that American poker strategy is different from Filipino poker strategy.

Poker shows also try to inject humor to the show, that is why lively and witty commentators were hire to put some life to the show. We all know that American humor is not the same with Filipino humor. If we have more local poker shows, we might certainly enjoy watching them than foreign poker shows because Filipinos know the taste of co-Filipinos.

It would also be good to see who among the Filipino poker players are at the top. Filipinos are seriously lacking in this department, and it is high time we do something about it. Filipinos are looking for more poker shows to increase awareness in the poker world. Watching other nationals play poker can sometimes be boring. It would be interesting for Filipinos to watch fellow Filipinos battling it out at the poker table.

But launching more local poker shows to be aired in local channels is a very hard thing to do, especially in such a religious country. It would take quite a long time to solve this problem.
