"May bukas pa" is a high rated Philippine drama that shows good values and moral lessons, but because it is very popular among filipinos especially the children, they are influenced then to call our Lord Jesus Christ as "Bro" (a shortcut term for brother), the other term for "Bro" is "Pare/Tol".
Many may ask, what then is wrong to that?
Well, if you will just analyze it, it was a disrespectful act. I will not make this longer, and i will just give examples...
Think of this...
Is it okay if while you are talking to a president of a company or a country, is it a good act to call him/her as Pare or Mare?
Is it okay if while you are talking to a king or a queen, is it a good act to call him/her as Bro or Sis?
But the fact that if others talking to a king, what will they say before they say something?
"Your highness..."
"Your majesty..."
and etc.
But then you will call Jesus Christ as "Bro"?!
The point here is that what Catholics and others call our Lord Jesus Christ as "Bro" is a big insult to him especially they are believing that Jesus Christ is God.
Where's the respect anyway?
And the LATEST is...
NOTE: I have no bad feelings for Abs-cbn or to that drama, but to those behind that idea... The thing is, they should first analyze what will be the effect of it to its audience, before they do something like this because they are unaware that they are insulting Jesus Christ especially those who believe that he is God.

- This is a good observation and I totally agree. Let us call Jesus as Jesus and not Bro or Kuya Jess. As Paul said to the Philippians:
"Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil 2:10)
