She is obviously needing a psychiatric help. I am so sorry for her that no one understood that she is indeed a psycho. However, this lesson is not for her, it is for all of us. You cant just judge a person: Some were poor became rich in a day and some rich became poor in a second of time. People who has to means to voice / publish something like media must not forget the meaning of its nature, to educate and lift life to betterment or more, any positive things.

I am appalled by how dim witted she is. To say that her article was out of acerbic wit, tongue-in-cheek is stretching it!!! It was nothing more than a very poor attempt at it! Malu should have realized, having received such a large outcry of "foul" from readers all over, that her statements were just a tad irresponsible... For her to come out with a response that was nothing close to an apology but in fact was another of her attempts at putting those she perceives as below her in their “rightful” place. She mentions writing only for a small target audience, I wonder if she realizes how extremely small her bigoted audience is. “The bottom line was just that I had offended the reader’s socioeconomic background.” This reader’s economic background is certainly very close to that of Malu’s… and yet why am I as offended as the rest of the world? Because the difference between Malu and the rest of us is that we have a social conscience. “If any of these people actually read anything thicker then a magazine they would find it very funny.” Maybe, if Malu does read anything thicker than a magazine she’d wake up! "Now I seriously ask you, am I being a diva or are people around me just lacking in common sense? Perhaps it’s a little of both!" Hahaha, a good ending. Now, with this you actually succeeded in being funny! You’re right, it is a little of both… you are definitely a diva (and you seem to totally enjoy it? How perverted!)… and yes the people around you seem to lack common sense. And the operative words being "around you". “This” Malu seemed to have missed the point altogether.

Seems to me they share the same ideas or at least they find the whole storyline amusing. The apology did not sound sincere at all. Or was she just scared by all the "hate mail/blogs"?

She got what she deserved. I saw her pictures and she’s fat. She’s a pig in every sense of the word! And if I have anything to say to match her bitchiness: I would say: Baboy na itsura mo, baboy pa ang ugali mo! Dobleng baboy ka! Then I’ll tell it to her snout that this is just my sense of humor working. Your regrets are too little too late!

I am astonished at such questionable judgment and taste! Moreover, what business does she have being a columnist in the first place? Judging from her earlier attempts to defend the article, she's obviously clueless with regards to <em>tone</em> which delicately distinguishes sarcasm and insult, being funny and being offensive. Would she know a good piece of travel writing if it smacked her in the ass? Now that she has resigned (or been fired?), I suggest she goes back to Discovery Shores, in Boracay, sit back and sip her tropical drink, and put on, instead, a <em>thinking cap</em>. Maybe read a book by Paul Theroux or Pico Iyer, and <em>discover</em> how enormous the world is, and how small we truly are. Perhaps, then, it will hit her.
