Jacqueline Bermejo? She’s the woman behind the controversial selfish and insensitive shoutout on Facebook about typhoon Ondoy that made many Filipinos cursed her. That’s what most people know about her.
I tried to look for more information about Jacque over the internet but search results would just lead me to pages with offensive comments against her–commenters were actually wishing she was dead. And well, you cannot expect wikipedia to give you right away a dedicated page for an accidentally popularized name of a private person. This is what I found: [may kasunod pa po...]

Many have reached out to the victims of typhoon Ondoy. Hollywood celebrities like Demi Moore tweeted for help. Local stars like Jericho Rosales and Gerald Anderson braved the floodwater to rescue their neighbors. Call center agents (like me) were asked for monetary donations through salary deductions. Others showed their empathy in goods. And how about those politicians? What do you expect? They gave donations as per of their campaign. Look at the picture down there. [may kasunod pa po...]

When I made a post yesterday about Jacqueline Bermejo, I forgot to take into consideration the phrase “benefit of the doubt.” I wrote: “The worst thing you can do to your nation is to betray your fellow countrymen. Jacqueline Bermejo, an OFW from Dubai, did this when she posted her selfish reaction on Facebook about the typhoon Ondoy.” I have to admit that I had my own shortcoming when I did it. Well, not just me. Everyone else did. Everyone else still has. [may kasunod pa po...]

Many celebrities have already done their part to help the victims of typhoon Ondoy. Some used twitter to ask for help. Some braved the flood water to rescue their neighbors even if they are “stars.” I also did my part this morning when I was forced to donate an amount to be deducted from my salary on the 15th. Joke. I did it in my own free will. What I donated isn’t enough. So I’ll be reblogging what pinoy chuva already posted.
Folks, let us extend our help to the victims of typhoon Ondoy. Just remember that what comes around, goes around. Here’s how you can help: [may kasunod pa po...]

I got to know about this when I checked on my email this morning. Mikey Arroyo was caught buying alcoholic drinks while typhoon Ondoy was raging around Metro Manila. I’m not sure though whether it’s really he. The picture is kind of blurry. If this was ever true, then shame on him!

Enough of Jacqueline Bermejo. She’s someone unworthy to waste our precious time for. If we’d have to waste it, that should be for people who, despite of their social status, chose to risk their lives for others’ sake–even if they were celebrities.
Gerald Anderson and Jericho Rosales were caught in their heroics of saving some victims of typhoon Ondoy. Jericho, being a surfer, well, used his surfboard. Gerald on the other hand just made use his swimming skill. All thumbs up to Echo and Bokbok for proving that they aren’t just television heroes! [may kasunod pa po...]

The worst thing you can do to your nation is to betray your fellow countrymen. Jacqueline Bermejo, an OFW from Dubai, did this when she posted her selfish reaction on Facebook about the typhoon Ondoy. While many Filipinos reached out to others in need, she wrote this: “buti n lng am hir in dubai! maybe so many sinners bak der! so yeah deserving wat hapend!” [may kasunod pa po...]

Nick Vujicic’s Life Without Limbs And Arms. That’s not a title of a book. And the picture is not of a sophisticated statue either. That’s Nick.
Anyone who saw a facial shot of Nick Vujicic and didn’t know him would think that he was a tall guy. He could also be an actor slowly forming his own star on the streets of the Hollywood. Or perhaps an athlete who just caused a major victory for the team or country he represented. But Nick is neither of those. He is not tall, not an actor, not an athlete. And he’s been literally living a life without limbs and arms. [may kasunod pa po...]

Buckle up. Fasten your seatbelts. And ready for the price hike. You know what happens after the election in the Philippines. Businessmen try to recover what they lose in the election. That’s post-election though, and maybe we will be able to somehow stop this after-effect if we get to know our presidentiables better. The information below about who are the possible personalities to run for presidency isn’t enough but I do hope it helps. [may kasunod pa po...]

This post’s title is an overstatement but an experimental AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) vaccine has for the first time cut the risk of infection in humans–this is what scientists called a breakthrough in the quarter-century fight against the epidemic.
