And here in Manila
TV programs are peppered with adverts, sometimes up to 15 minutes (10 minutes is normal) and more than one break an hour. Often ads are repeated in the same break.
Adverts here are so 70's.Very in your face with product name repeated over and over.
Mostly milk products and washing detergent.
I haven't seen UK TV for over two years and don't miss it. BBC radio two is my friend.
Up votes to all who correctly spelt 'Licence' and not the US version (they don't have telly tax also)
