Sorry. I don’t understand why people are cursing her and all that. Those were her sentiments and what she’s written is her opinion on things that happened to her. This is the problem with Filipinos – so quick to judge but they often whine about everything anyway.
Traffic. Pollution. Environment. They all want to point fingers at someone else without really looking if they’ve contributed to that. Tracy’s sentiments with the aetas are what she experienced and whatever it is – it would be wrong to say that she has no life or she should be beaten up by someone someday! Look at yourselves… Judging her like you haven’t done anything wrong in your lives!
She was just honest on what she felt…. May magagawa ba kayo kung hindi sha sanay sa ganong buhay?! Alangan naman sabihin niya na ang sarap sarap dun sa pinuntahan niya at ang bango bango kung hindi naman?! Tsk tsk…
“Alangan naman sabihin niya na ang sarap sarap dun sa pinuntahan niya at ang bango bango kung hindi naman?! ”
Eh di huwag na lang niya sabihin. Kung walang magandang lalabas sa bibig, isara.
We also have immersion plus community service. My sister did payatas community service and I never heard mum about her complaining on that. I believe that families taking you in as a guest in an immersion will try to give you the best of what they have. I don’t mind that she’s spoiled (i know plenty like that) but I do mind that she’s ungrateful (whether or not those are just blogs). I don’t know if she gave one na pero imho she owes the family a big apology kasi pinahiya niya nagkupkop sa kanya. Personally, it is not really racist nagkataon lang na she immersed with Aetas, (maybe not even maarte) but just exaggeratedly pa-cute without tact.
gd morning? hw are u
HOW ARE U TODAY
What kind of person is this? Was the first thought that came into my head when I read this article and heard the news regarding this matter. She seemed so insensitive, uneducated and “malandi”. And to think she came from such a school as Ateneo. Yet as I read her actual blog that arouse all this, I actually realized it wasn’t completely her fault since she was raised as such. Her parents shelttered her too much and left out the real world in her life.
But still, it was her initiative to say all this and act as such, she could have been better. It’s time to wake up to reality and see that more than half of her country men live in similar sitituations as that in her immersion because they could not afford the sweet and spoiled life she’s living.
