Manila Standard columnist quits after getting OFWs’ ire
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cW6MV8J1sQ]
I am deeply apologetic for my insensitivity and the offensive manner in which this article was written, I hear you all and I am properly rebuked. It was truly not my intention to malign hurt or express prejudice against OFWs,” her satement said. Fernandez claimed that because of the article she became a subject of hate blogs, a target of death threats and personal insults. “Our society is bound together by human chains of kindness and decency. I have failed to observe this and I am now reaping the consequences of my actions.” Fernandez said. Fernandez said she now truly understands the “insidiousness of discrimination and prejudice disguised as humor.” “It is my fervent hope that the lessons that I’ve learned are not lost on all those who through anonymous blogs, engaged in bigotry, discrimination, and hatred,” she said.
There was still no statement from Manila Standard and Peoples Asia whether Fernandez’s resignation was accepted.
You’re a columnist, you’re a public property. Since you insulted us, it’s a fair game. Manila Standard, People Asia just like you - have no clue what is damage control. Obviously all three of you believe na just because we are just some poor, irrelevant OFW’s, di kami papalag which is why it took you forever to apologize. What does that mean? You didn’t really mean to apologize! You bitch! And Manila Standard and People Asia even ignored us - the OFW’s!
You quit because of death treats! Not because you were sorry for what you have said about us! Selfish bitch! For if you are sorry - as is Manila Standard and People Asia - all of you would have contained this ire from day ONE.
It’s called DAMAGE CONTROL.
And yes, I’m still furious!
And yes! I am more than willing to compare credentials with this moron!
And to quote my friend bluepanjeet - NOPE! Ayokong daanin to sa scrabble! Sampalan ever!!!

Dahling Stop posting her picture! I can’t stand looking at ugly things.

hahaha. funny thing is, I was really in a hurry in refurbishisng my blog just so I can bash this gremlin and wannabe socialite, but as usual, I came late because of my hectic schedule. I was also planning to write the editor in chief of the magazine and the manila standard. pero my fellow bloggers did all the bashing… Bravo! This is just shows how powerful bloggers can be.
do not underestimate the independent writers because we are also journalist, the good thing is we are not paid and influenced by other entities. we write with our conscience and with our values.
The power of blogs proved effective once again. This is a wake up call to all super-snobbxish and elite media personalities to be careful with their words… and like what my good queen said above, I would also be willing to compare credentials with this poor B***H. I CAN ASSURE HER THAT MAS MAGANDA SI REYNZ AT SI CHUVA SA KANYA PAG BINIHISAN SILA NG WIG HAHAHAHA. Ganun sya kapangit sa loob at labas!
I am daring her na panindigan nya yung sinabi nya na she will slash her wrist. this just shows that what she writes are just cheap make-up stories. none of her claims are worth believing. It’s so sad that she waited for this to happen. There so many people like her: pretending to be smart and above everyone else but just the same, she’s as stupid as her “louie-vitton” (ba yun) bag that she boasts (I don’t even know who or what louie vitton is… pang-pakintab ba ng sapatos yun? hahaha.
and like reynz said, i wont dare her for scrabble, obviously me and my fellow bloggers are more intelligent than her. so there’s really no pint of playing with an idiot hahaha.
Bravo Bloggers Bravo!
Mabuhay ang Pinoy Bloggers!
I’m so proud to be one!

Her editor should resign from her post as well. She should have read what this freakin asshole has written and yet allowed it to be published anyway.
What an arrogant, contemptuous, self-deluded asshole she is! What was she thinking? That she is free from both societal certainties and moral absolutes like social sensitivity??? “Being true to myself” is an overloaded phrase and more often than not is a very lame excuse to get away with things which are unruly and boisterous!
[Reply]
oh yeah, she resigned. i watched it sa news. justice served.
[Reply]
Bow… (it’s a pleasure to know the queen of ofws)!
Let the bitch know that no one’s going to kill her, we will just bury her alive wrapped around inside their fucking tabloids.

una ko pong isinulat ito sa wikang ingles, subalit napagtanto ko na sa pagkakataong mabasa ito ng taong pinatutukuyan, ay baka pati ako ay mapulaan, at magkaroon pa uli sya ng pagkakataong makapanlibak ng isa pang pilipino.
unang una po, naiintindihan ko (at alam kong lahat tayo) ang pakiramdam ng muhi o galit pagkatapos mabasa ang kanyang isinulat… hindi natin maiaalis iyon sa ating sarili.
subalit, ang paghingi po ng pampublikong paumanhin mula sa isang taong tulad nya ay pagdadagdag lamang ng insulto para sa mga bagong bayani ng bansa (OFW) at sa mga Pilipino sa pangkalahatan. tayo po ba ay manghihingi at tatanggap ng paumanhin mula sa isang BABOY!!!!!???
ang pinakamabuti po nating gawin, kung tayo ay talagang nagkakaisa na ibagsak ang BABOY na ito, ay huwag tangkilikin o i-boykot ang mga manlilimbag at patnugot, kasama na ang kanilang mga babasahin na kumunsinti para magamit ng BABOY na ito ang kanyang makapangyarihang pluma para lamang itaas ang kanyang mataba ng pagkatao o sarili.
idagdag na rin po natin sa boykot ang mga kumpanya na maaaring mayroon syang pag-aari o asosasyon (kung meron man po tayong nalalaman o malalaman). sa ganito pong paraan, maiaalis natin ang kanyang pinagkukunan ng pambili ng kanyang mga mamahaling gamit at pabango (na kung tatanungin mo si Tommy Hilfiger ay hindi naman ginawa para sa isang katulad nya).
nakikita nyo ba kung ano ang itsura ng isang BABOY na walang kolorete sa mukha at walang pabango??? punta po tayo sa babuyan, malalaman nyo ibig kong sabihin.
maari rin namang hindi maapektuhan ang kayamanan ng BABOY na ito, hindi ko alam kasi hindi ko naman batid kung saang pamilya ng mayayaman nagmula ito. wala po akong asosasyon sa mga mayayaman na ito at wala po akong balak makihalubilo (baka maamoy pa nila yun pampabango ko ng hangin) hehehe!
marahil ay maari pa rin po naman nya mabili ang mga gamit, kolorete, at pabango na kailangan nya upang maitago ang tunay na pagkatao at hitsura ng isang masangsang na BABOY! kung sya man ay nggaling sa lupon ng mayayamang pamilyang ito, isa lamang po ang ibig sabihin nyan. sya po ay walang partisipasyon sa pagpapaunlad ng knilang pamilya at ng bansa sa pangkabuuan. nakikisakay lamang po iyan sa kayamanan ng pamilya. wala pong alam gawin iyan kundi gumastos, maglakbay, at bawasan ang kayamanan na ipinundar ng magulang o ng mga ninuno.
ang gusto ko pong sabihin ay wala po sya sa kalingkingan ng mga OFW na nagsusumikap para maiahon ang pamilya at ang ating bansa. alam po ng mga OFW ang ibig sabihin ng pagsasakripisyo at ang kasiyahan ng kaunting kasaganahan at pagkakaibigan.
ang mga pribilihiyo po na iyan ay hindi naranasan ng BABOY na ito sapagkat sya po ay isang palamunin ng kanyang pamilya. kung susuriin nyo po ang pagkakasulat nya sa artikulong iyon, may lungkot sa likod ng kasiyahang ipinapakita nya sa kanyang isinulat. bakit hindi… e nabubuhay sya sa mundo ng pagkukunwari at ng mga taong lastiko.
iyon lamang po at sana ay nakatulong ako sa pagpapagaan ng ating naguumapoy na damdamin.
maligayang araw sa inyong lahat.

This just proves that she is living in her own little world of make-believe. Obviously, she is not aware that majority of Philippine professionals are working overseas. How did this bitch became a journalist? What a big fat moron.
Sad enough that we don’t have a government that can take care of its own people…and now we are being despised for trying to improve our lives.
People must realize that the gap between the elite and us are getting too freakin’ wide. I would personally hold it against People Asia for publishing this fat pigs article.

this bitch has a major issue of self insecurities because of her gross obesity and blames other people for her life of hell disguising it as a lack of common sense when dealing with her compatriots…. such a bitch indeed, even her 17kg of make-up would not be enough to cover the stink that emanates from within her… or her jo malone or whatever perfume or designer names that she puts in her body just to cover up that stinkiness that she is…. it would not even sum up the audacity of this bitch (mind you, i don’t even like to call her a filipino anymore but a whining and complaining couldron of cholesterol).
she even thinks that because she has a doctor father and have rub elbows with the elite and the fact that she even has familiy ties with politicians, she thinks she is someone else already but the truth is that she is just one of those pampered and spoiled bitch that her stupid parent who doesn’t know good parenting and patriotism raised…. or maybe her parents are such racist worshipper and bigots like her that is why she has this opinionated view or lack of it of filipinos lacking common sense, maybe she ought to look in front of the mirror and see whats wrong with her (besides that ugliness of her gross obesity)….
this bitch should also try to live in another country and maybe work as well so she can really experience first hand how its is to be discriminated but maybe she would slash her wrist because she wouldn’t have the guts to stand up with her racist lords. at least for all the OFWs out there, they endure these kind of treatments because of a far more noble reason and mainly because we are PROUD FILIPINOS. she even thinks that discrimination disguise as humor is ok in her world but like in canada, discrimination disguise in humor is punishable by law.
so to all kababayans specially our OFW, we asked for apology but even her article of apology is more insulting than her moronic article (which her bigot friends also enjoyed reading) so i believe a public or to a larger scale, a country-wide and global damnation of this indignant and ungrateful bitch that we are so sorry to have come to know to be a filipino should be at hand….

I’ve got high respect for the word journalist (not necessarily to the people who disguised as one)… and it’s sickening for me to hear the title use on people who don’t deserve it.
well, i searched the web for its meaning and here’s what i got :
it’s so her (the pig) :
Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)
“writing that reflects superficial thought and research, a popular slant, and hurried composition, conceived of as exemplifying topical newspaper or popular magazine writing as distinguished from scholarly writing”
American Heritage Dictionary
“The style of writing characteristic of material in newspapers and magazines, consisting of direct presentation of facts or occurrences with little attempt at analysis or interpretation”
it’s not her (the pig):
the journalist is an impartial observer who gathers, processes, and imparts news in such a manner that it can be vividly and concretely verified by the sensory capabilities of his/her readers (Atkins, 1977:27).
for the pig and the pigpen (the magz, what else):
Within the science of communication (and in large part also in practical journalism) it has been suggested over the years that objectivity in journalism cannot qualify as a positivistic, verifiable concept (Drew, 1973; Atkins, 1977). As proposed by Cilli? (1967:5), journalism does not exist as a neutral or objective mirror image of reality as it often chooses to claim:
The newspaper, seen in its totality, is far more related to a portrait, an impressionistic portrait, than a mirror or a photo image. We select and accentuate; we cannot do otherwise.
For this reason researchers (Rivet, 1976:96) have concluded that objective journalism is not possible; in fact, it is a myth (Sigelman, 1973:133) indicating that journalists move between two antagonistic poles (Herm?nus, 1976:102).
On the one hand there exists the inclination to report on reality in compliance with each individual journalist’s own value system (De Fleur, 1973:155-172).
On the other, the pressures of factual circumstances influence the value systems and world-views of journalists as they present themselves within the reality in which the journalists finds themselves and vice-versa (Snyman, 1971:248-299).
Therefore one can assume that each journalist’s interpretation of a news event is just as subjective as the reader’s version of an article at the time it is read (Rosengren, 1978:42).
One reason is the fact that the journalist essentially decides what should and what should not be perceived to be news, but always given the news policy of the media they work for and the circumstances surrounding the story (e.g. being in a war zone, or working under political pressure).
It is suggested, then, that the arrangement (and deletion) of facts on a news page or news broadcast reveals its author’s opinions - and intentions, as well as those of the news medium and the society in which they operate.
kaya kayo, the pig and the pigpen, wag na kayo magpalusot… lalo na yung babasahin
