Malu Fernandez speaks only one thing for herself: she is not only descriminatory, insulting but also, extremely vulgar!

Contrary to what Austero said, hinting that Fernandez had merely been haughty, I find that she had actually been not only vicious and cruel but also extremely vulgar.

It saddens me to see a Filipino speak negatively about her fellow Filipinos. Talk about wrong mindframe and bratiness! Our OFWs should be honored and admired for all their hardwork. Imagine having to choose to work in another country (far away from ones family) just to make sure that your loved ones will have a brighter future?!?
People in the media are given so much power because they’re placed in a position where they can be heard. Abusing this power is downright wrong. It is never “amusing” to make fun of other people’s plight or status in life. So to Ms. Fernandez, I hope that you have learned your lesson. Being rich or (being lucky enough) to belong to the upper echelons of society does not give ANYBODY the license to degrade other people. So who lacks common sense now?? Time for a wake up call, girl!

sir, talaga namang kahit sinong pinoy (di siguro kasama mga mayayaman) na makakabasa ng article ni malu ay masasaktan o magagalit. sabi niya ibang level naman ng mga tao ang target ng kanyang article. saang lugar ba sa mundo natin na puro kasing yaman at talino (baka) niya ang nakatira. kahit sabihin natin na libong dolyar ang pahina ng kanyang pinagsulatan, di pa rin maiiwasang maipasa sa mga pangkaraniwang tao ang mga ganun. dun na lang sana sya sa buwan tumira, magsulat at mag-publish ng article. sigurado sya na at least milyonaryo ang makakapunta dun.

para kay dodong, hindi ka pinoy

@Bryant and Carlos,
Philippine Star has already come out with a proper statement, I’m not sure why Manila Standard has chosen to remain silent. In fairness, columnist for Manila Standard have already made statements, but the publication itself has not. And then this.
*****************8
I’m not sure what to think about this since they may have already printed this before the resignation was tendered. If the resignation was sent on a business day, then it had to have made it into the office after the printing was already finished.
*******************
But, since we can’t get a confirmation yet, I’m not going to issue any statement as of yet. But one thing is clear, The Manila Standard Today as an organization has not issued a statement, and that in itself is disappointing. Not only because they choose to remain silent, but they are doing so in the midst of some very respectable writers on their staff.
******************
My follow-up article will be posted, despite yet another blunder, and if they do proceed, I can only wonder what it will do to the credibility of the paper.

Para sa akin hindi tama ang artikulong inilabas ni Malou Fernandez dahil hindi niya alam ang tunay na buhay na mga OFW. Oo nga at hindi niya kasing yaman ang mga nakasabay niyang OFW ngunit wala pa rin siyang karapatan na matahin ang mga OFW na kung tutuusin ay kanyang mga kababayan. Naturingan pa man din siyang isang edukadong manunulat tapos ganun lamang ang kanyang pagtingin sa ibang tao (na sa tingin niya ay masmababa sa kanya!). Dahil sa kanyang mga nasabi ay daig niya pa ang isang taong walang pinagaralan!!!!

This has become a mob out to lynch the writer. Save us from this ‘noble’ cause please. This is nothing more than a scheme to raise ‘views’ and adsense clicks. How adsense is unashamedly plastered all over these pages shows the true intention. The ‘noble’ cause is merely a screen.

Ms. Fernandez need not lose her job. She apologized. Whatever happened to the concept of forgiveness. Must everything in the Philippines end up like Edsa?

Sick.
