NagmaMalaking Filpina (Malu Fernandez)

Panibagong pag-asa at bagong bayani sila kung tawagin, sila ang mga OFW. Pero bakit sa ilang tao na hindi sila kilala at hindi alam ang kanilang dinadala sa ating bansa ay ganun na lamang silang hamakin. Ang pag-alipusta sa kanilang katayuan at kanilang  kinalalagyan ay isang kamangmangan. Kung ikaw man ay nakakaangat sa kanila o may mataas na katayuan hindi ibig sabihin at may karapatan kang manghamak ng tao lalo ng kapwa mo Filipino.

Isang nagngangalang Malu Fernandez ang nang ahas na nagsulat ng karanasan nya sa pagpunta ng Greece. Ang kabuoang artikulo ay mababasa dito . Bahala na kayo kung ano ang magiging reaksyon nyo sa kanyang sinulat.

• "The hub was in Dubai and the majority of OFWs (Overseas Filipino workers) were stationed there. The duty-free shop was overrun with Filipino workers selling cell phones and perfume. Meanwhile, I wanted to slash my wrist at the thought of being trapped in a plane with all of them. Of course, everyone in economy class was yelled at for having overweight hand-carries. Mine was 17 kg (ssshhhh!). That was all makeup and accessories I would never risk losing if my luggage ended up in the middle of the Sahara Desert."
  
• "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 yellowing 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.

Marami ng naging saloobin at nasabi sa kanya mga naisulat, marami na ring nasaktan. Maaari sa kanya ito'y isa lamang katuwaan. Pero sa bandang huli sino din ang nawalan?

Narito pa ang ibang web blog na natutukoy sa kanya.

Wow! I can't imagine she can say that to her own blood being one of the filipino! I agree from the thread on what I've read that she is the most boastful ever and ever (yabang!). I guess, no one teach her in a good manners. (Sigh...) I hope she can sleep well after all.. hahahahaha... Or she want the publicity only?! (may be... who knows) but still terrible.
