While concerned citizens were using technology to report damage, reach out for help and mobilize relief operations to help Typhoon Ondoy victims, a Facebook status update, allegedly posted by Dubai-based Filipina, Jacque Bermejo, has prompted the anger of fellow Filipinos. The status update reads: “Buti na lang am here in Dubai! Maybe so many sinners back there! So yeah deserving what happened!”
Facebook groups have been created on the web after her update, including “Jacque Bermejo Persona Non Grata” and “Jacque Bermejo be gone, we ’sinners’ don’t want you here!!!” At last count, more than 3,000 comments have been made about her status update.
And over 10,000 comments in her Multiply site.
lol shet. i see her everywhere…that’s like worst than exile hahahaha and she said she was hacked! BULLSHIT! if you are hacked why did u even reply na “cuz of u dnt understand!!!judge me sige!!!kya ala kayong asenso. even nature now is making statement big time!!!” Judge me LOL yeah we are judging you BIG TIME!!! ur english sucks btw…sigh bala na naawa na ako sau…
So sad. I know it’s a non-insider point of view, but it’s just too sad knowing it came from a Pinay herself.
Check out this tweet I found while checking out the trending topics:
“Finding the US’ $50,000AUD donation to the Phillippine’s Red Cross for the typhoon victims rather despicable #philippines” (posted by Erikawitha_K)
real biatch.
so sad to read this comment coming from a Filipino..
Let’s just hope none of her relatives are victims currently being rescued by the concerned citizens.
Regardless…..No one deserves to go through what just happened to us…What an idiotic comment!!!!! She should not even consider herself a filipino cos she obviously has no compassion!
…You can label us Filipos a lot of things, but when push comes to shove ang hit with this terrible calamity, we band together as shown with the outpouring donations and our “bayanihan spirit”.
..It’s unfortunate that someone who would consider herself lucky would still have the time to look down on all our country men who have suffered from this ordeal.
That could be a fake account. Possibly someone who wants to destroy her reputation.
wag nyo ngang pansinin yang haliparot na yan, binibigyan nyo pa kasi ng publisidad, baka ang susunod nyan makikita ko na ring nag eendorse ng produkto sa telibisyon yan, pag pinansin nyo ng pinansin yan sisikat pa yan… parang mas karapat dapat na gawan nyo ng publisidad ang taong nagpakabayani nung bumagyo, marami yan, yung mga taong taos pusong tumutulong ng walang hinihinging kapalit.
