A Lesson on Humility

Finally, the porky lifestyle columnist Malu Fernandez resigned from Manila Standard after bloggers tore her into pieces. And with good reason. In her column in People Asia, she had the audacity to thumb her nose down on OFWs on her way to Dubai en route to a vacation in Greece. She said she felt like "slashing her wrists" in the company of migrant workers (she flew economy) who smelled of Axe and cheap cologne.

I don't think her article (it's all over the internet) was tongue-in-cheek at all. You can be ironic if you are driving home a point. In her case, she was just nasty. By adopting a high-and-mighty and undeniably condescending tone on our hardworking OFWs, she only succeeded in projecting a Paris Hilton wannabe image, ya know, a social climber.

Yes I'm joining the call to turn her into a tocino.
