Southwest Airlines and the Mini Skirt

Say what now? Southwest Airlines employee acting like Osama Bin Laden’s “fashion” police when they tried to prevent Kyla Ebbert a 23 year old student and Hooters waitress from boarding her flight to Tuczon. Ebbert was “caught” by the “morality” police oooppps sorry I meant she was wearing what customer service attendant identified only as Keith as inappropriate.

Kyla Ebbert arrived at Lindbergh Field wearing a white denim miniskirt, high-heel sandals, and a turquoise summer sweater over a tank top over a bra. The picture shows her actual outfit at the time she was deemed inappropriately dressed or lack thereof if you ask the “fashion morality police” of the Osama type. Geez, I can’t believe this is happening in this day and age were women dressed more scantily than what she was wearing.

It seems that Southwest Airlines has a tendency to enforce their “dress code” judging from this blog, which I quote:

The airline that once booted a passenger off a flight for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words Meet the Fockers—it had pictures of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleeza Rice— is making travel fashion headlines once again.

Kyla Ebbert a paying airline customer says she was unfairly judge and humiliated at being asked to step out of the plane and told to change her attire. Since she was traveling briefly to her doctors appointment she had no luggage or extra clothes and had she not stood her ground the attendant would not have relented. This after she was given a “lecture” to pull her mini skirt down a bit, pull up her tank top a bit and told to return to her seat. Ebbert says several flight attendants overheard the conversation and, after an embarrassing walk down the aisle, she took her seat and spread a blanket over her lap. Now if that is not humiliating and embarrasing I don’t know what is…….. unless you ask that convicted welfare fraud Khatib whose embarrassment seems out of place… like in a jail.

Garci tape and the Cheating errr Seating Lady President

The saga contnues with the Garci Tape and the Cheating errr Seating Lady President wih so many clowns errr personalities out to protect the Garcified outcome of fraudulent electoral exercise. Give it to the running dogs errr retired CA justices when it comes to upholding the constipation err constitution in a zealous display of adhering to the rule of law by filing a petition to stop the wiretap probe.

The duo of retarded errr retired associate justices according to the Inquirer report said that the “dubious Senate probe” will escalate into a continuing violation, if not flaunting disregard or defiance of the constitution. Bravo what an argument by the brilliant judicial minds in the Philippines where we see sticklers to the rule of law, huh they are really following the letter of the law to the minutest detail…… hmnnnnn, why am I not impressed? In some ways I see the point of the retarded errr retired ass opppps associate justices in seeing the probe as dubious since they have been at it before and it was truly a cirque de soleil, ok a wanna be since the probe was so calculated and safe making sure they limit the coverage to the allege presidential fraud.

The duo of retired justices namely Santiago Ranada and Oswaldo Agcaoile in their 15-page petition for prohibition with prayer for the issuance of temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction was based in part with the “absence of explicit consent from the parties to the recorded conversation, the unauthorized wiretap is thus considered illegal”. Huh? What in the name of Acxa Ramirez argument is that? Of course the parties that were recorded will not for the life of bedolable garcified winners of a selection contest come out and say Yesssssss that was me. Unless it was to try and scam the US government for alms when La Glory was like a little kid asking for ice cream in volunteering the presence of terrorist and even Al Queda so she can on board in the war of terror errr on terror.

So mere possesion of this Garci tape according to the geniuses is a criminal offense, fer cryin out loud why are they not arresting people, they are all over the internet and this was once the biggest blockbuster in the Philippines, here enjoy hahaha.

The liemakers errr lawmakers ought to revisit this wire tapping law and if this argument is upheld by the courts then any recorded conversation from terrorist groups can simply not give their “consent”. That’s all it takes for a criminal to dodge prosecution just like the argument of self-confessed Jose Pidal the little brother taking the fall for first lady errr gentleman Mike Arroyo by invoking violation of his privacy.

Hijab (Muslim Head Scarf) at issue in court

Souhair Khatib a US citizen from Lebanon together with her Husband was convicted of welfare fraud last year. Sentenced to three years' probation and 30 days of community service. They were given 120 days to complete the community service.

On November 1st 2 days before the deadline set by the judge the Khatibs returned to court to ask for an extension. Souhair Khatib had completed 15 hours of community service while the husband a mere four was ordered by Superior Court Judge Douglas Hatchimonji jailed.
Jailed for about 8 hours she was ordered by her jailer to remove her hijab (head scarf) for which she claims her “rights” were violated.

Khatib, 32, of Anaheim, was quoted as saying she filed the lawsuit to make other Muslim women in the U.S. aware of their right to religious freedom. So she is the poster girl for US Muslim women one that is convicted of welfare fraud, nice real nice. While many Islamic women cover their heads and necks with scarves, known as hijabs, especially in public as mandated by the Koran do you still have the same rights when incarcerated?

This is really a good test case on freedom, tolerance, rights, and security inside a jail facility and according to Khatib which I quote from the LA Times article:
.

Wearing the hijab "is an obligation," and being without it is embarrassing because a woman's head and neck are exposed to strange men in the courtroom and male deputies in jail, Khatib said.

"They humiliated me. We have the right to [wear] our scarves," she said.

According to the suit, not wearing a scarf is a "serious breach of faith." Khatib said she did not wear one while living in her native Lebanon but ended the "sin" of not covering up seven years ago, after arriving in the United States.

Oh geez it does not seem like a big deal errr “sin” back when she was in Lebanon so what makes this a big “sin” now that she is in the US? Hmmmn I am almost a convert to this “right” but the case has some very minor detail that can turn off principled freedom loving people…….. they are seeking unspecified damages. Dinero baby, so which one is more important the hijab or the moolah? And then there is this allegation of “strange” male deputies in jail, and how did the male deputies in jail become strange if I may ask? Who does she think she is Paris Hilton? When one is sent to jail for welfare fraud do you not belong to the prison system and lose whatever rights you have?

Hmnnnnn, I am wondering if this lady was subjected to strip search, probably not but it will even be more interesting if they were. That would have been a "bigger sin" and truly embarrasing to be in your birthday suit as against just showing you neck and head with "strange" deputies doing the search all over your butt naked "sinful" body..

The Real MOB & MOBSTERS in Philippine Society

Fidel Umaga of Movement for a Free Philippines (MFP) reaction to the article on “Mob Rule” in the downfall of Malu Fernandez, ANC article which I felt needed to be posted as a fitting entry for the blog.

Another entry is that of Perry Diaz titled OFW Empowerment that I felt should be posted both of which highlight the need for the OFWs to organize and flex their political and economic muscle to level the political playing field. It is ironic that we see some in the establish media subtly comes to the rescue of a “diva” in “distress” over the reactions of the OFWs, a sector that is supposed to take all the insults and abuse sitting down. Feudal mindset of the elites are alarmed at the prospect of the meek sector fighting back against the feudal overlords is to them unimaginable.

Yes, the most maligned sector are the most convenient target I should say because it take guts and real courage to point out the real MOB and MOBSTERS in Philippine society…… the ruling minority where the Malu Fernandezes belong.

It is so convenient to label and brand those that reacted as the “lynching mob” because of their reactions in contrast I saw this on expat yahoo groups a typical ruling elite with not just a Mafiosi mindset but acting like a true mobster making the Sopranos look like a playground prank :

A few months ago I was staying at the Mallberry Suites Hotel in Cagayan de Oro. I had stayed there previously and had enjoyed my stay. This time, however, I went to sleep about 10pm. From 11pm to midnight two Filipino men were working on their SUV outside my hotel window. The alarm on the SUV went off about 20 times, always awaking me. At about midnight I walked oustside, andexplained to the Filipinos that I was trying to sleep, and asked if they could continue the repairs to the SUV the next day, or at least disconnect the alarm. The men invited me to sit with them and talk with them. As I sat down, the Filipino man to my left slapped the eyeglasses off my face. I stood to search for and recover my eyeglasses, and as I did the same man threw the chair at me. The chair did not hit me, but as I looked around, I noticed that about 10 of the hotel employees were watching.

I said nothing to the men, and walked inside the lobby of the hotel. I spotted the manager of the hotel sitting at her desk, and I asked to speak with her to explain what had just happened outside. As I was talking with her, the original man that had hit me came from behind me and slapped me on the back of the head. I turned to the manager to tell her that this was the man that had hit me originally,and as I had my back to the man again, he slapped me on the back of the head again.I stood up to face the man, and as I did the female manager of the hotel stepped between us to force the Filipino man away from me. As she did this I noticed that all 5 of the hotels armed guards were watching and did absolutely nothing. The only thing between me and a man that was physically assaulting me was a Filipina weighing about a 100 pounds. As I looked around the lobby I also noticed that about 20 or so of the hotels customers and 10 or so of the hotel employees were watching everything. So, there were 30 or 40 witnesses of thisman physically assaulting me.

As the manager tried to calm the assaulting Filipino, I walked backward and stepped inside the managers inner office. The girls working the front desk locked the door to protect me.I had to sit inside that office for two hours as the manager of the hotel finally convinced the Filipino that it was late, that he should leave me alone, and that he should go to bed.

Again, all the armed guards did absolutely nothing. The gossip that I heard later is that the man that had assaulted me is a politician from Davao, and that all the armed guards were afraid of him. I also heard that the management and owner of the hotel did not want to call the police because they did not want to "create a scene".

During the entire time that I was in the locked inner office I asked if the police were going to be called or not, and if so I was willing to press charges. I was told several times that the police would not be called. There were 30 or 40 witnesses of what had happened to me, and I had done absolutely nothing physically to assault the man.

The next morning I woke early, and I saw my assailant drive off in his SUV. I went to the lobby to see if it was ok for me to appear in public, and to talk with the women at the front desk.

As I was at the front desk, a Fil-Am approached me and invited me to sit with him for coffee. The Fil-Am explained to me that had the police been called, the police would have done nothing due to the fact that the assailant was a politician, and he also explained to me that the armed guards with the sawed off shotguns were in fact afraid of the politician. My only savior in the whole situation was the 100pound Filipina manager that was brave enough to ask the assailant to back off.I decided at that moment to leave Cagayan de Oro , and asked to check out. I also asked the manager that I not be billed for my room. I explained that I did appreciate the fact that she was most the courageous in protecting me, but the other staff of the hotel, and that the police had done absolutely nothing to protect me, and that I was the victim and that I should not have to pay. I also explainedthat money is important, and that perhaps the manager and the owner would not allow my assailant to stay again at that hotel since they had lost money on the fact that he has assaulted me.
The manager apologized many times, and graciously allowed me to check out without paying. The manager was my hero, and protected me, but, it did remind me that I was on my own in CDO, and that no one else would have lifted a finger to help me.

Now you tell me who the real mobsters are? The OFWs reacting to social discrimination and insults from their own countrymen or the criminal mafiosi type of the ruling minority elite crowd that Malu Fernandez braggartly says she belongs?

OFW Empowerment

Guest Editorial
PerryScope
Perry Diaz

The recent furor over Malu Fernandez's controversial "From Boracay to Greece" commentary has brought to the forefront of debate the issue of political power -- or lack of power -- of the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). Little did Fernandez, a Manila Standard society columnist, realize that the article she wrote for her targeted audience -- Manila's elite -- would incite a riot in cyberspace. A torrent of emails flooded the Internet blogs. Her arrogant response which was printed in her column further infuriated the OFWs and the protests snowballed into an avalanche that knocked her out cold. Stunned, she quit her job. Call it "mob" justice or any other term.

She deserved it.
What really irked the OFWs was what Fernandez said in her commentary: "While I was on the plane (where the seats were so small I had bruises on my legs), my only consolation was the entertainment on the small flat screen in front of me. But it was busted, so I heaved a sigh, popped my sleeping pills and dozed off to the sounds of gum chewing and endless yelling of 'HOY! Kumusta ka na? At taga saan ka? Domestic helper ka rin ba?' Translation: 'Hey there? Where are you from? Are you a domestic helper as well?' I thought I had died and God had sent me to my very own private hell." In another part of her commentary, she said: "This time I had already resigned myself to being trapped like a sardine in a sardine can with all these OFWs smelling of AXE and Charlie cologne while Jo Malone evaporated into thin air." Well, now that she's jobless, she'd probably switch to Old Spice deodorant which reminds me of that popular television commercial in the 60's, "So it's you they're talking about…"

Clearly, the OFWs have demonstrated that they have immense power. With a strength of 8.5 million, they comprise the largest group of Filipinos -- a tenth of the population. Think of what they could do as a political power block with the capability to raise tons of money for political action.
The government's recent announcement of the strong performance of the economy -- 7.5 % GDP in the second quarter -- is very encouraging. However, the growth was consumption-driven and was due in most part to the candidates' "spending spree" during the election campaign in the first half of this year. In the past ten years, roughly 74% of the GDP came from "personal consumption expenditure." Yes, Pinoys have been on a spending spree… in the malls. Ultimately, the question is: Is the growth sustainable? The true test would be the amount of capital funneled into long-term investments and trade -- two sectors that are needed to turn the country's trade deficit around, a prerequisite to achieving "tiger economy" status.


Now, with Fernandez consigned to oblivion, what's next? Should the OFWs go back to their daily routine and wait until another Malu-ko comes out of the woodwork? Or should they come to the realization that they have the power to institute reforms in the Motherland and participate in governance?


Today, there are OFWs all over the world who are planning or in the process of forming political parties. The new buzzword is "Global Filipino Empowerment" which has its roots in the three million-strong Filipino-American community. In this year's senatorial elections, a Filipino-American ran for a seat and lost. His campaign slogan was "Kampeon ng Overseas Filipinos" (Champion of the Overseas Filipinos); however, he was unable to galvanize the OFWs to turn out for him. Was it because he lacked the ability to deliver a compelling message? Perhaps. However, I believe that the OFWs are not quite ready for political action. In other words, they have yet to reach "self-actualization," a term coined by Dr. Abraham Maslow, which is the "pinnacle in the hierarchy of human needs." Or, perhaps they don't see the value of representation in government. Interestingly, the Filipino-Americans have the same mindset. And that is the reason why Filipino-Americans are perceived as powerless in America. During election time, they're looked upon as the "cheering squads" for other Asian and minority candidates. The main event of political gatherings is the photo opportunity or "kodakan." And the most treasured trophy from such events is a photograph with a politician.


While the OFW political organizers mean well in their endeavors, the question that comes to mind is: Are there any groups -- or individuals -- in the OFW community who have the capability to coalesce the various groups under one political party? Not that they don't have what it takes. Yes, they do. However, in my opinion, they have yet to learn how to work together. The "kanya kanya" attitude still prevails in our community. Undoubtedly, they have the interest of the OFWs in their hearts. But do they have the gumption -- and logistics -- to launch a political movement? To begin with, they have to establish a presence in the Philippines. As some people would say, "Out of sight, out of mind."


Like in any campaign, whether it is political or military, logistics plays an important part. As a matter of fact, logistics determines the outcome of most campaigns. Before the advent of modern military technology, the "baggage train" was the lifeline of any military expeditionary force. In the 13th century, the Mongols succeeded in their conquest of Asia, Eastern Europe and as far as Syria in the Middle East because of their speed in moving -- and protecting -- their baggage trains.


In today's political campaigns, "logistics" is money. That is, lots of money. Needless to say the OFWs have money. But they have to build a war chest that they can tap for any campaign -- political or otherwise. Can they do it? Or, more appropriately, would they even do it? That's the ultimate challenge.


There has been discussion in government circles of starting an OFW Bank. This is a great idea. The only problem is: It is a government initiative. In my opinion, the government should not be involved in organizing an OFW Bank.


Last year, Migrante International -- one of the OFW coalition groups -- protested President Arroyo's plan to use one billion pesos in Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) trust funds to convert the Philippine Postal Savings Bank into an OFW Bank. President Arroyo backed off. That's a victory for the OFWs. The time has come for the OFWs to take full control of their immense wealth and flex their political muscle. They can do it. The road to empowerment is within sight.

OFW REACTION to MALU FERNANDEZ .........

IS SIMPLY THE CHICKEN COMING HOME TO ROOST, by Fidel Umaga of Movement for a Free Philippines.

The OFW is not ignorant of its role in the survival of our nation. That is why it accepts, with mix pride and wariness, the title NEW HEROES OF THE MOTHERLAND. As a matter of fact, the OFW is fully aware that the wages of its sacrifices keep their families alive and our country afloat financially. Yet it could not understand why it is almost always treated less honorably than the REAL TRAITORS to our people and country. It could not understand why, beyond the greed and selfishness which still reign supreme in many of us and in our national polity, it remains one of the most maligned, betrayed, abused, abandoned, ill-treated and neglected sector of our society.

And since the different sectors of the OFWs are still not unified, as they are not yet fully organized as they ought to be, the political decision-makers in the Philippines do not seem to treat the OFW issue, as a whole, with great concern and at par with other organized groups such as the existing big labor unions in the Philippines or some other religious groups e.g. Al Shaddai or the INC. This disparity in treatment and concern that bore on the OFW, exacerbated by its inability to protect its own interest, which inability is rooted from the absence of organized OFW power, coupled with the lack of options available to the OFW to find other ways for his family and loved ones to survive, leave the OFW to grudgingly toil in silence but toil it did without complaint, 24/7, for decades, in lonely strange lands, under forbidding conditions but keeps a smoldering anger slowly burning and building deep in its heart. While the OFW keeps that pain deeply suppressed inside, he slowly unchains himself from the confining shackles of his own circumstances.

Then the Malu Fernandez article came about. Compared to the proverbial cards the OFW was actually dealt with time and time again, the Malu Fernandez article was actually a fable, a bed time story. However, for one reason or another, the Malu Fernandez article became a phenomenal key that seemed to have opened the floodgates to the long suppressed emotions of an oppressed sector of our society. It was like a bell, whose tolling has awakened the Filipino OFW all over the world from its deep slumber. From the slew of insults that peppered the article of Malu Fernandez, the OFW suddenly seems to find the need to have a common voice. Since then, it has never stop talking about Malu Fernanadez. The written diatribes the OFW sent ranged from the most mundane to the most ascerbic. Certain sectors however commented that the reaction of the OFW has turned into a MOB RULE.

Assuming that the OFW’s reaction to Malu Fernandez had metastasized into something of a MOB RULE, did we really bother to ask ourselves the reasons behind the OFW reaction? Is the OFW's reaction to Malu Fernandez's article, merely a manifestation of the nature of the social circumstances that greatly made up the bulk of our OFW, or is it a preview of forthcoming episodes not only from the OFW but also from other sectors of our society which, like the OFW, had long been abandoned and betrayed before, by their leaders and government, but have now found their salvation on their accord and is now on their own road to freedom? I believe it is the latter.

And as such, I think it is simply TOO LITTLE TOO LATE for some quarters to expound NOW on what should be the moral width and breadth of the OFW’s reaction to the subject article. For those of us who opted to simply MOVE ON and NOT TO GET INVOLVED whenever confronted in the past, by the FACE of betrayal and injustice to what was right and just for our OFW, it is plain hypocrisy now for these people to exert their moral influence on our OFW. It is simply the height of their pretension to expect that the OFW owe them a breath of decency.

For those of us who have abandoned the OFW and now find repulsive the so called rabid reaction of some to Malu Fernandez's article, what MOB RULE are we talking about here? Excuse me, but it is simply the chicken coming home in the barn to roost!

These people should rather be most thankful that our OFW still believed that the pen is mightier than the sword. They should pray harder that other sectors of our society, which in the past, had also been betrayed and abandoned by many of us, would react as benign as our OFW as in the Malu Fernandez brouhaha, once they too have found their own road to freedom and a phenomenal key opens their own floodgates.

"Mob Rule" in Malu Fernandez Downfall, ANC

That is just how “some” ( a handful is a more apt description) people perceived the Malu Fernandez fiasco and the unexpected tidal wave of response never seen before since the Flor Contemplacion case that toppled 2 high ranking government officials. Watching the 6 part ( one, two, three, four, five, & six) you tube series on “MOB RULE” aired by ANC having such title tells you right away it was an indictment not of the culprit but those of the lowly mortals of the online world particularly the OFW kind.

Is it because the host and the station just like the self-proclaimed “Diva” caters to the same market that delusional Malu Fernandez think she has….. the elites or thinking they are elites in a third world economy where a great portion of the “wanna be’s” or the shrinking middle class are pushed down to poverty level and majority of the population are wallowing in the muck of poverty? I can’t help notice how the host alarmingly tries to portray the reactions of the online community to a mob of out of control riotous rampage out to burn and destroy anyone and anything on their path.

The host mind was set as she desperately tries to picture the netizens in a bad light or the so-called “mob” like and “violent” comment mostly pertaining to Malu Fernandez weight issues owing to the so-called anonymity cover that the internet provides. The sad part is while the host points out what she perceives as the excess and out of line response she and her production staff failed or did not do extensive research on why people reacted in such manner. As usual scratching the surface just like the shallow Malu Fernandez ranting on what she deems the “problem” but never attempted to understand the very core of the issue.

They were right though in seeing the internet as unstructured and what I believe was their apprehension not of the egalitarian nature of the internet and the emerging role of bloggers to sway public opinion but the inevitability of making them obsolete. At the rate Philippine print and broadcast media goes they might as well turn irrelevant due to corruption and lack of ethical standards as the lure of “ATM journalism” sways quite a number of them in that direction.

Sadly while they have the resources to undertake a more in depth coverage they choose to cover the bruha errr the Malu Fernandez brouhaha in a scratch the surface manner. If that is the case what then set them apart from bloggers like us? Nada, zip, zilch and if this is how they handle this incident then bloggers have the upper hand because unlike media establishment, bloggers are not beholden to anyone. Most bloggers offers a no holds barred entries that is not beholden to anyone affording readers raw and unadulterated commentaries that defies the norm of “ATM journalism”.

Thanks to one guest Ricky Carandang for his views in clarifying the nature of a mob…… no one pointed a gun at Malu Fernandez or was there an incident of an actual mob throwing stones or setting fire to her residence or her publications offices. On a scale of 1 to 10 the latter being the highest if I am to rate this coverage, this is my take:

• R. Carandang a 10 for keeping an open mind and not succumbing to the "mob" portrayal of the online community particularly the OFWs.


• Che Che Lazaro and her staff a 2 for lackadaisical research and not having a single OFW (as if there is no one to be found when there is Ellene Sana of CMA, Migrante, Ding bagasao of Ercof, Julie Javellana-Santos who has been writing for the OFWs for quite sometime, OFW Journalism consortium etc.) or an email comment from an OFW blogger at the least in the panel. A low 1 for misguided concept of OFW demanding respect from the feudal concept of the word not realizing that respect is about treating people your equal.

• Alex Magno a 4 because he is not an OFW and more identified with La Glory.


• Belmonte a 2 for her unwillingness to open up and too afraid to blurt out politically incorrect staements.


• Our 2 fellow blogger Benj Espina of Atheista and Josel Gonzales of Nomadic Thoughts an 8 for trying their best not to represent the bloggers or the OFWs.

How about you how would you rate the Media in Focus of ANC hosted by Che Che Lazaro on the Malu Fernandez bruha errr brouhaha which they titled “MOB RULE” referring to us bloggers and the online communities reaction? Let your voices be heard and speak out.

As I was about to end this entry I found Isip Lugaws entry on another Malu derivative who is even thanking Malu Fernandez for showing the “ugly Pinoy in us”…. oh, boy talk of self-flagellating individual trying desperately to do his penance and desperately dragging us along is just pathetic.

Annoying Malu Fernandez & equally annoyed Blogs

Yes, I agree that some bloggers including this Political Jaywalker went on ad hominem attack on La Diva Kolokay and even resorted to fat ass jokes. I apologize to my readers for this behavior but never will I apologize to the self-proclaimed “Diva”.

Unlike other bloggers who wants to “separate” themselves in an attempt to be “different” and feeling superior above everyone else this blogger maintains that it is not in his place to “judge” others for their reactions deemed violent by others especially Babes Romualdez publisher of People Asia Magazine. The type of reaction coming from the elite just like the fooliticians of her class not having a clue what accountability and responsibility means would readily point a finger at the victims themselves for their “violent” or even “mob” like reactions.

Say if you will, but this ad hominem attacks that we see heaped on the annoying thinking elite above “lowly” mortals insult on the OFWs has become personal especially when this very sector are subjected to unimaginable abuses and exploitation. Not only are a big portion of the sector abused and exploited in their place of employment they are also exploited in the Philippines as well and too add insult to injury by a relatively unknown representing the voice of the elite Malu Fernandez, what exactly do we expect? Do we expect people who sacrificed separation from their love ones, alone and lonely to feed their family for lack of opportunities back home due to mismanagement and corruption of the elites while subjected to dangerous and exploitative conditions to react differently when faced with insult from a braggart belonging to the few ruling minority elites? Do we expect people to react meekly when we see the situation of a Filipina OFW being Kept as Sex Slave or see this Modern Day Heroes or Commodities in Human Trafficking of Slaves?

Why do some people treat their own people in this manner when instead of attacking the culprit attacks the victims instead. Like running dogs to their perceived feudal overlords will judge and castigate and worse gives us lowly mortals a sermon as if we have not had enough when we go to church. Here they are in their holier than thou judgmental stance like a crab trying to get on top of the heap. Don’t you just hate it when some moron points out what they perceived as Filipino “bad traits” like being too “loud” wherever Filipinos congregate outside of the Philippines with some nut even pointing out the long line of boxes in LAX? Well blow me down and slap me silly what do these numb nuts want? Illegalized Balikbayan boxes? Ban or vanish Filipinos from talking in their native languages outside of the Philippines? Some numb nut even resent simply by just seeing Filipinos congregating or wanting to stay away where Filipinos are seen as if they have by a stroke of miracle turned Caucasian with their daily use of the billion dollar industry skin whitening cream. These people can really learn a lot just by Listening to one of the songs of a Filipina Jazz Singer, about the exotic beauty of a Filipino inside out.

I will now refrain (shucks, no fair this is no fun at all) from doing fat jokes, except for this one from jetleng (last one promise... plus I just can't resist citing this one too, lol) but it does not mean that this Malu Fernandez is getting away that easy……… I say give Malu Fernandez a hard time wherever she goes and let her face the wrath and scorn of the exploited sector. BOYCOTT Manila SubStandard and People Asia Magazine starting 3rd of September until they learn to respect the Overseas Filipinos with dignity and equality.

Malu Fernandez is back as seen on this Manila SubSATANdard article Unseen biatches errrr evil........ are we moving on or should we bring it on? I say let's bring it on.....
