Statement from Malu Fernandez on the OFW Controversy
I am humbled by the vehement and heated response provoked by my article entitled ‘From Boracay to Greece!’ which came out in the June 2007 issue of People Asia. To say that this article was not meant to malign, hurt or express prejudice against the OFWs now sounds hollow after reading through all the blogs from Filipinos all over the world. I am deeply apologetic for my insensitivity and the offensive manner in which this article was written, I hear you all and I am properly rebuked. It was truly not my intention to malign hurt or express prejudice against OFWs.
As the recent recipient and target of death threats, hate blogs, and deeply personal insults, I now truly understand the insidiousness of discrimination and prejudice disguised as humor. Our society is bound together by human chains of kindness and decency. I have failed to observe this and I am now reaping the consequences of my actions. It is my fervent hope that the lessons that Ive learned are not lost on all those who through anonymous blogs, engaged in bigotry, discrimination, and hatred ( against overweight individuals , for example )
I take full responsibility for my actions and my friends and family have nothing to do with this. To date I have submitted my resignation letters to both the Manila Standard and People Asia, on that note may this matter be laid to rest.

Can we verify if this is true?

I’ll believe it when I see it printed/posted from credible sources.
If indeed the resignation is true … she has taken the first steps to sainthood.
it’s official. abs-cbn has picked up the story. hoorraaahhh!!!!! and its even on YT! 😀
Though my comment is late for Malu oink oink Fernandez let me express what I feel for OFW. Hey oink oink Malu Fernandez puro ka cholesterol sa katawan,manalamin ka muna bago ka mang insulto ng kapwa mo Filipino. Dapat sayo nililitson na!!!!!!!
peeps, philippine star page 14, today’s issue printed her apology. checkit!
dapat lng sa yo…. if u r intelligent… be responsible… based on ur actions — or article — ur the dubmest of all writers… u should review ur ethics
Oink!!! Dapat litsunin na yan!!
para sa lahat ng magazine and newspaper company, dapat i-ban ang taong ito dhil sa hindi nya iniisip ang mga sinusulat nya, na pwedeng ikapahamak ng inyong company,I think dpat pati yung editor ng Philippine star at People Asia eh mag resign na rin dhil tinolerate nila ang isang article na dapat eh binabasa muna nila bago nila ipublish TAMA ba ako mga KABAYAN
What a bitch! A bitch that can’t afford first-class ticket.

I hope we can learn to forgive Malu Fernandez. I wrote an entry about her article and I hope you can find time to read it. It’s entitled “One Voice (An OFW’s reaction to Malu Fernandez’s “From Greece to Boracay”)” and I posted it here: http://lestercavestany.com/?p=10
I think it’s enough that she has made a public apology about what she wrote in her article. I hope we can learn to forgive Malu Fernandez. I wrote an entry about her article and I hope you can find time to read it.
