Who is Malu Fernandez?

August 18, 2007

Who is this girl Malu Fernandez who is the subject of  campaign by bloggers.?

 

Aside from writing in the Manila Standard publication and magazines..what I know is that she used to sell cosmetic products for the face.

 

Her family is really Buena Familia from the uppity side of Forbes Park. Her father is the well known dermatologist Dr. Manuel C. Fernandez who is one of the founders of Makati Medical centre and of the Philippine Dermatological Society. Her father belongs to the old school dermatologists not like the Vicky Belo's of present time.

 

She has beautiful sisters and brothers one of them is Melissa Fernandez who used to be the girl friend of Aga Muhlach. Before this article came out,  I recall her vividly because when I saw her photo together with her siblings…I was thinking to myself,,,maybe she has such an inferiority complex because of her size(I dont want to demean people who have big size problems because I am one myself).

 

The way she wrote the article reminded me of my classmates in UP..those who would want to flaunt their status..that they are rich…They dont want to associate with the poor UP students. Kelangan they have to go with their fellow Assumpstionistas or mga taga Ateneo. But how can you blame them.

 

At UP I learned to understand the pysche of the rich and of the poor. The pysche of the rich is to associate with one like them(kaya nga ng mga mayayaman nag kakaasawa rin ng mayaman because they dont want to mingle below their class).

 

This is very evident in our society and at UP you will see the rich kids mingling with the rich and if ever the rich mingle with the poor like us…they get shocked or they find it a weird experience.

 

So how can you fault Malu for her observation. Even if she didnt write it she would still have that mindset which is perpetuated by Philippine society.

 

Maybe the editor should have edited her article or totally didnt allow its printing so that it wont elicit such furor.Or maybe just maybe they wanted to elicit this kind of attention to improve its circulation.

 

But your see Pinoys are so forgiving…todays anti heros will be forgiven and come out as heros or famous endorsers of ads.

 

 The future wont be anywhere bleak for malu…I foresee ad endorsements about flying economy in PAL or ads about OFWs being welcomed by Malu. She has became famous just because of her so called Acerbic wit? I dont think its acerbic wit….its more like inferiority complex….

 

Syempre ayaw ng mga mayayaman na makita sila na nag eeconomy class lang. Ayaw ng friends nya no…ma oostracize sya.

 

So much for that…Lets stop this fuss.
