MERGED: Manila Standard's Malu Fernandez unpleasant article of OFW's

[diem]

[color=navy] Perhaps, somebody or somebodies will just have to make good with their death threats. O_o

[shimiyu]

@shimiyu: KBP is for broadcasting media.. Radio and TV. PIA can't do anythin as well. If they put restrictions on what she writes, that's violating press freedom.

hmm so the issue hovers around her character..

[totitot87]

she's the embodiment of this country's problems... big, fat, obnoxious, and very difficult to tackle with.. no joke...

[yokam]

OT: makoy.. why change handle?

Di na ko makalog-in sa previous nick.

okay lang i read her article and her response, okay lang she's just stating facts, and it is her opinion we should respect that as other people would respect ours even if it offends them. its a matter of showing respect. and its true we filipinos really need someone like her to shake up our world, otherwise our lives would be boring and mediocre. I can only suggest that if you don't like what you're reading better stop nalang, spare your heart over something na dili unta dapat nimo usikan ug panahon, it is an opinion of one person.

presuming it is a fact, what would still be disgusting is the way she brags about being an elite. read her articles she is bragging about being first class.

wa man gani manhambug ang mga tag-iya sa mga barko na milyonmilyon pa ang cantidad. sya na hinuon na gasakay lang sa economy ug journalist ra sa usa ka gamay na newpaper. hilas kaayo nang animala.

pero wa ba mo kabantay na mao pud na ang gibuhat sa mga tagalog sa atong mga bisaya. kanang magpakaaron-ingnon sila na mas taas pa sila nato kay mga taga-manila sila o mga tagalog pero kita mga bisaya mga probinsyano ug mga tanga mao yanoyanohon lang ta nila. sa tv tanawa ang mga bisaya hapakhapakon lang sa newspaper ug tawgon na "inday tanga". mao gyud ning mga tryinghard elitista magpahambug dayon nakatungtung lang sa kabao murag taas na kunuhay sya.

Reading how Malu brags about her socio-economic status should be the least of our concern, maybe it would make up for the things she couldn't accomplish let us just respect that. If she's bragging about her being first class, let her.

we can't compare people because each has its own attitude, character, perception about things like I can't compare you and your opinion/idea with Malu's; about the economy seat, lets turn to the fact that Malu was supposed to fly first class but a friend advised her to take economy.

about maltreating the bisayas? I don't know maybe there is just a misperception with some people like maids are inclined to being a bisaya because it, really is common wether we like it or not, truth hurts.

^ respect? she doesn't even know what that is

respect begets respect. that's the truth. and the violation of the truth hurts.

Respect it? She was not merely bragging about her status but she was belittling our OFWs. Humor as she may call it, but what she has just written is a very faulty generalization and was made by her mere observation. She doesn't know each or probably a single OFW she's with in the economy class. There could be someone who's way richer than her yet who's not a showoff like her.

@Tambok, If someone called your Mom fat and ugly (and let's say she happens to be well... not so goodlooking), would you go on and say, "Well those are their opinions, we have to respect that and whether we like it or not, the truth hurts"? It's the same with Malu's article. There's no way I'm having some stupid columnist undermine and spit on the sacrifice and pain my parents and millions of other OFW's went through just to break the poverty cycle.

[Velvett]

^ well said

they had better keep their thoughts to themselves. if they open their mouths, watch out nalang sila. they don't feed my family or support in any way so what right do they have to belittle my parents? wa sila nalipong?
