Senator Pia S. Cayetano today joined calls to demand a public apology from a top Hong Kong publication and one of its columnists over a recent opinion article that made a racial slur against Filipinos over the country’s right to claim the Spratly Islands.

Cayetano, chair of the Senate committee on social justice, said Filipinos deserve no less than a formal public apology for the opinion piece entitled “The War At Home” written by Chip Tsao which appeared on the March 27 edition of the widely-circulated “HK Magazine.”

Tsao’s column depicted the Philippines as a “nation of servants” not worthy of claiming the Spratys from China, as the latter employs hundreds of thousands of Filipino domestic helpers on very low wages.

“Instead of contributing to intelligent discussions on ways to resolve the Spratlys dispute, Tsao only succeeded in eliciting hatred and sowing more confusion not only among Filipinos but maybe even among his fellow Chinese who are not aware of the intricacies of the issue.”

“Let’s not dignify Tsao’s views by not stooping down to his level. We shouldn’t allow ourselves to be bullied by people with narrow minds like him. HK Magazine and Tsao must apologize for insulting Filipinos, and they should pledge not to commit this mistake again.”

“Our being a poor nation does not diminish the validity of our historical and legal claim to the Spratlys. In the proper forum, this dispute will eventually be threshed out and resolved. Ignorance, hatred and racial bias are the last things we need in approaching this long-standing controversy.”

“Our claim to the Spratlys is as valid as the other claims being pushed by other nations. It does not mean that we’re disregarding the claims of others. We respect their claim inasmuch as they should acknowledge ours.”

Cayetano added that should Tsao make good on his whimsical threat to fire her Filipino househelp over the Spratlys dispute, then she’s confident that other employers in Hong Kong, including foreign expatriates and fellow Filipinos, would be more than willing to take her in.

“I’ll personally appeal on my Filipino and foreigner friends based in Hong Kong to hire her. I’m sure there are many more enlightened minds out there willing to take her in. Filipino domestic helpers are very much in demand in Hong Kong precisely because of their efficiency and positive ethic at work.”

“We should be proud that millions of OFWs are able to serve the world, whether as managers, laborers, caregivers or medical prefessionals. There’s nothing to be ashamed of as long as we’re earning an honest living without having to step on the dignity of others.”

The Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen on board. We can live with that—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That’s no big problem—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.

Chip Tsao on his way home??? lmao

But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.

As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell every one of her compatriots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to China.

Grimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.

Oh yes. The government of the Philippines would certainly be wrong if they think we Chinese are prepared to swallow their insult and sit back and lose a Falkland Islands War in the Far East. They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. Some of my friends told me they have already declared a state of emergency at home. Their maids have been made to shout “China, Madam/Sir” loudly whenever they hear the word “Spratly.” They say the indoctrination is working as wonderfully as when we used to shout, “Long live Chairman Mao!” at the sight of a portrait of our Great Leader during the Cultural Revolution. I’m not sure if that’s going a bit too far, at least for the time being.

Di kaya ang kapal ng mukha nitong si Chip Tsao?

We have posted on our previous blog entries the “Bad Kalokohan”  that Boyet Fajardo manifested last March 13 at Duty Free. And now, we want to present to you some of the sorted video feeds from the net and our very first “KALOKOHANALYSIS”

Exhibit A: Where it all started

Exhibit B: Boyet Fajardo’s version of “sorry” to “Marvin Hernandez”

Exhibit C: Marvin Fernandez (the victim)’s Point of View

Kalokohanalysis – Where it all started

• Marvin Rodriguez didn’t continue the processing of Boyet Fajardo’s credit card because Boyet Fajardo couldn’t show any signed ID.
• Nagmura at nangduduro pa (was swearing and pointing finger)
• Boyet Fajardo threw his passport at Marvin’s face
• The store manager who mediated in the commotion/scene, didn’t escape the wrath of Boyet Fajardo
• The manager told the cashier to swipe the card because Marvin already has the credit card, then Boyet Fajard asked “Why did you swipe?” then the manager said “Sir, isn’t it that you wanted to make the purchase? It’s okay already, there’s no more problem”
• Boyet Fajardo said “Since you hassled me, I’m going to hassle you all, I’m going to cancel all of my purchases!”
• Called the cashier “P.I. na caherang ito! (“this ijo de p!@#/son of a b!@# cashier”) and “this matabang baboy na yan (fat pig) ay pinapahirapan ako (tormenting me) at bakit sya umaalis? (why is she leaving?”
• Boyet Fajardo threatened the Duty Free employees that he will have them fired from the company because he has a politician friend, unless Marvin Fernandez would allow himself to be slapped by Boyet Fajardo or kneel in front of him.
• Out of fear, Marvin Fernandez knelt down while in tears.

Kalokohanalysis – Boyet Fajardo was Sorry

• Boyet Fajardo admitted that he made a mistake when got furious, because Marvin Rodriguez didn’t accept his credit card even if he showed his MTRCB ID and passport that he is indeed the owner of the credit card.
• Boyet Fajardo said “Wala akong natatandaan sa mga sinabi ko dahil at that point galing po ako sa isang mahabang biyahe from long overhauled flight, alam naman po nating lahat kung paano kahirap ang lumabas sa airpot, and adding to that, hindi pa po ako kumakain nung oras na yon, and I had a fever at that time. — hmmmm… e bakit pa kasi pumunta pa ng Duty Free at namili kung gutom at masama ang pakiramdam? Sana umuwi ka na lang at umorder or nagpaluto ng pagkain.
• Boyet Fajardo clarified that he didn’t swear and pointed his finger at Fernandez, but he still asked for forgiveness to Fernandez. He said “I’m asking for forgiveness to Heranandez, because just like him, I’m a victim too” — hmmmm… can somebody rewind and play the video again?

Kalokohan says!

Tsk tsk tsk! What a waste… Boyet Fajardo had every opportunity to sincerely say sorry, but unfortunately, he just wasted it. We wish that he just humbly said sorry and went to the people whom he humiliated and fixed the problem personally, but instead, his pride consumed him and couldn’t entirely accept his faults. Yes, he said sorry, but looking at his eyes and the way he said it, doesn’t really give us the impression that he meant what he said. We at Kalokohan don’t condone to this style and behavior. Yes it was a Kalokohan and worthy of being posted here, but it was a Bad Kalokohan that all of us should learn from. Honesty, Humility, and Happiness is what we promote. So our message to Boyet Fajardo is… be honest, be humble, and be happy with all the blessings that you have, love and  respect your neighbors the way you love yourself! O:)

And the survey says!

We conducted a poll and we would like to present to you the result:

Q: Boycott Boyet?

A:

1. Yes definitely – 233

2. Paluhodin sa munggo! – 46

3. No! I like his style – 0

4. Other Answer

“Hindi namin ito titigilan saan man makarating ito.”

Ito ang pahayag ng presidente ng Duty Free Philippines Employees’ Association na si Dennis Mallari—sa kabila ng paghingi ng paumanhin ng fashion designer na si Boyet Fajardo hinggil sa lumabas na video ng pangmamaliit diumano niya sa ilang empleyado ng Duty Free kamakailan.

Sa nasabing video, makikita na isang empleyado ng Duty Free, na pinangalanang si Marvin Fernandez, ang lumuhod sa harapan ni Fajardo.  Bunsod umano ito ng matinding galit ng fashion designer na taliwas sa mga naunang report ay hindi raw tinanggap ni Fernandez ang credit card ni Fajardo kahit na nagpakita na ito ng pasaporte at ID mula sa MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board).

Ayon sa panayam ng ABS-CBN News, handa raw ang unyon ng Duty Free na dalhin ang reklamo laban kay Fajardo sa Commision on Human Rights.

“Hindi sinsero ang ganyang pahayag. Bakit ngayon lang? Sana noon pa,” reaksiyon ni Mallari sa nauna nang paghingi ng paumanhin ni Fajardo sa TV Patrol.

Samantala, sa panayam ng ABS-CBN reporter na si Alex Santos, napaluha ang fashion designer habang ibinibigay niya ang kanyang panig ukol sa isyu. Aminado siya na nagkamali siya sa biglaang pag-init ng kanyang ulo.  Ngunit itinanggi niya na dinuro niya at minura ang cashier na si Marvin Fernandez.

Paliwanag ni Fajardo, “Wala po akong natatandaan sa mga sinabi ko dahil at that point, galing po ako sa isang mahabang biyahe, from long overhauled flight. Alam naman po natin siguro kung gaano kahirap ang lumabas galing sa airport. And add into that, hindi pa po ako kumakain nang oras na iyon and I had a fever at that time.”

Kasunod nito, humingi na rin siya ng tawad mismo kay Fernandez para sa kanyang pagkakamaling nagawa.

“Humihingi ako ng paumanhin kay Marvin Fernandez dahil katulad po niya, pareho kaming biktima,” pahayag ni Fajardo.

Sinubukan ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na kunin ang panig ng pamunuan ng Duty Free sa pamamagitan ng legal department nito ngunit wala pa raw opisyal na pahayag ang kanilang kumpanya ukol dito.

Ayon sa report ng ABS-CBN News, pinag-aaralan pa ng pamunuan ng Duty Free ang kasong maaaring isampa laban kay Fajardo.
