Halloween is one of the anticipated events in October, especially for parents (like me), as we get to dress up our children with some cool costumes. Some of us go for traditional attire while others get creative and use theme-inspired costumes.
However, Eat Bulaga hosts Joey de Leon and Sen. Tito Sotto, were apparently criticized for wearing Keffiyeh a traditional Middle Eastern headdress (usually worn to protect their skin from sunburn, dust, and sand) and a thawb (an ankle-length Arab garment generally worn by Muslim men to the Mosques), as their costumes during their Halloween special yesterday, October 31, 2015.
According to Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Governor Mujiv Hataman, through an official statement, he thought of this act as “insensitive” and asked for a public apology.
Hataman also added: “On behalf of the Filipino Moro people, we demand that producers and hosts of the noontime show issue a public apology.”
Moreover, the ARMM governor said, “This display betrays an insensitivity by these hosts, as they equated the Muslim garb as a costume to be feared, in the way that zombies and ghouls are to be feared.”
On the other hand, other hosts wore traditional Halloween costumes like Incredible Hulk (Anjo Yllana), Anabelle (Ryzza Mae) and of course, the phenomenal AlDub’s (Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza as Yaya Dub), costumes depicted Edward Cullen and Bella Swan of Twilight.

Talagang nakakatakot ang damit na iyan. Tingnan ninyo ang video sa youtube, yung namumugot ng ulo ay suot pa ang damit na iyan. Di ba, talagang makompromiso ang respeto dito na suot rin pala ito sa mga nagpakabanal kuno?
Hindi nmn tungkol sa religion ang issue..kundi sa suot nla n damit n karaniwan suot ng mga arab kunbaga sa pinoy barong tagalog ndi nmn tlga tama n gamitin nla yan sobrang kabastusan n nla ndi nla nirespect yung kasuotan..yung culture not only the religion
Bakit si Hataman nag suot ng ganyan na damit?ang suot nila TITO Sen kahit sino pwedi mag suot kahit Hindi Muslim ..noong Eid suot ni TITO Sen wala naka pansin..ngayon pansin na dahil sikat na ang . EB..bakit sila ang SAF44 sa lugar nila nangysri Hindi xa nag apologized Jan pala naka tago terrorists..
for ang pagiging tunay na Muslim ay hinde makikita sa panlabas n kaanyuan or how you dress a traditional costume.makikita ang tunay n pagka Muslim thru your FAITH AND BELIEVES who ever you worship, same with christian.
There is no issue! Pumapapel lang yang Hataman na iyan! Ang halloween costumes ay hindi lang nakakatakot.. Pede ding nakakatuwa or cute or even mga characters lang… Masyadong pumapapel lang yan…ilang years nang costume ni tito sen iyun so bakit ngayun lang si hatamab nag comment ng ganyan? Sus!
