Saturday, September 1, 2007I've been reading some blog posts on the Malu Fernandez issue in the internet. Grabe, so many people have reacted on that article. And today, I've also watched Cheche Lazaro's interview with Magno, Carandang and Belmonte (forgot their first names.)
Actually, when I read it..it really irked me….esp about the OFW stuff there in her article. Tayo pa namang mga Filipino, we are very sensitive kapag discrimination ang topic. And I think, what made us even angrier with the article was that, the author was of the same race. Dapat pa nga we are uplifting our race. It's not a nice thought that there are others who think that way. Having tons of money do not give us the right nor the privilege to look down on people or discriminate one socioeconomic class to another. It's true, we have the freedom of expression…you can say anything you want, still it entails responsibility. Sabi nga, "kung wala ka rin lang masasabing maganda, wag ka na lang magsalita." This of course, does not apply in every situation..it depends but in that article…this should have been applied.
