Open Letter to Malu Fernandez from Ingrid Holm

OPEN LETTER TO MALU FERNANDEZ

Now I'm not one to openly court controversy, but this lady has got my knickers in a twist.

Dear. Malu Fernandez

FIRST OF ALL, How nouveau riche can one get? Did you marry rich? Did you suddenly come in to money? Your blatant displays of your 'luxuries' and 'wealth' and your comfort with using the word 'elitist' to describe yourself alongside the fact that you had to reference to 'politicians in your family' show that even if you did come from money, you certainly have no class.

You also seem to need to name-drop in every article that you write.

It really gets to me that you should complain about the coach seats on your Emirates flight. Honey, they aint small... YOU'RE FAT. Spare yourself some doughnuts and maybe your travels will be more comfortable... coach, or not.

MOST IMPORTANTLY. That you would put down OFW's (Overseas Filipino Workers) is really DISGUSTING. It makes you sound more vile than what you described as the scent of their 'AXE and Charlie cologne' while your 'Jo Malone melted into thin air'. Honey, without that perfume, you want to know what you smell like? Like a fat Filipino woman. The smell is probably more putrid than the smell of those OFW's. Cause they sweat honest, hard-working sweat. The kind of sweat that keeps the Filipino economy going. They're fucking brave. They've seen more than you, felt more than you, and fought more than you. You're just a coddled fat Filipino woman, under all of that cologne, and that branded clothing that makes you feel more important than them.

It sounds to me like you get to fly Business Class when you travel for work, but when you had to pay for your own travels, coach was more affordable. You tried to hide this by grandiose references to you perfume and your designer wear, didn't you? Tsk tsk...

You made some mention of having 17kg's of make-up in your hand-carry. All the make-up and adornments in the world can't hide how ugly you are inside. You aint that good-looking either, hon. Go to the gym, eat some fruits. You wrote that you wanted to slit your wrists because you were stuck in coach with all the OFW's. I am MOVED every time I am on a flight with OFW's. I am reminded of their resilience. Of how hard they work, and how they keep the Philippines going. The economy relies on their bravery. You should have slit your wrists, hon. And you are going to hell if you don't change the way you think. Think of sitting in coach, imagining your personal hell as a personal foreshadowing.

I have lived in the Philippines, and I have also traveled the world. I've probably been to as many if not more places than you, seen more things than you, so maybe despite all of this money you seem to need to brandish and the places you have been to, you're just an ignorant. This coming from a 20 year old girl.

You're act isn't classy. You're not pretentious. You're just some stupid woman, living in a third world country, thinking that because you jetted off to Greece and you wear Jo Malone perfume, you are suddenly something.

Take this from someone with the same 'socio-economic background' as you, bitch. What a pitiful excuse.

I also happen to read things 'thicker than magazines', I go to University in London where I will finish with an Honors Bachelors Degree in May. I have a 1 year Marketing Economics degree from a business school in Oslo, and I graduated with an International Baccalaureate Diploma at age 17, if you were wondering. So no fucking excuses.

You could do so much more than you think, yet you choose to act like a proper twat. The kind of twat that people with some brains laugh at, the world over. Think of this as some more exposure.

I am ashamed of people like you.

OFW'S all over the world, working their tits off, deserve a public apology.

"A man is arrested after holding a woman as hostage Monday. He was told he could not refund his P40 job application fee." Charlie Magno - www.gmanews.tv 8/13/07

Man, times are really hard nowadays. This poor guy probably gave his last bit of money to apply for a job he badly needed. I bet he didn't get the job, which made things worse. He wouldn't ask for a refund if he got the job. I guess he was so desperate in getting the money back he just snapped and held the poor lady hostage.

I may be right in saying "poor lady", but sometimes people just tend to be difficult. Maybe that certain lady was just being bitchy that time, so the guy probably cracked.

Most people would think, "It's just 40 bucks, what the hell was he thinking?". For the well-to-do classes, P40 is not even enough to buy them their favorite frappuccino. As they wallow in their ignorance, little do they realize that P40 is actually lunch (and dinner as well) for a poor family.

What that guy did was wrong, but look how desperate the people are getting. The Social Weather Stations (SWS) Second Quarter 2007 survey states that 2:5 people "feel their lives had worsened over the past 12 months, almost double those who felt their lives had improved." I think I would agree. While the Philippine economy is doing phenomenally, wages and benefits are still stagnant. As the Peso is getting stronger, the buying power of the Filipinos is getting weaker.

Now, I bet that some smart-ass economist, politician or whoever, would like to dispute what I just said. For all I know, you can all kiss my ass. Don't show me figures or explain that national growth rate should be between 7-8% before it'll trickle down to the masses, etc. etc. etc. Fact of the matter is, my friends, we're still living in a shit hole and it's getting deeper because of graft, corruption and apathy.

In a different note, I don't agree too much with the government's program where they 'spoil' the Overseas Foreign Workers (OFW) with special rates, promos, etc., and don't give attention to the people left slugging it out in the Philippines. We are also OFW's, Ordinary Filipino Workers. Why can't we get the special treatment they get? Is it just because of the inflow of money they send to the country? I say develop our country right: Get rid of TRAPOs and realize projects that the masses can actually benefit from and we don't need to work abroad.

Easier said than done? Well, at least I'm saying something.
