Jacque Bermejo Steals the Limelight from Ondoy!

If you are hoping that this piece can take you to the "one million dollar" answer to the question if those accounts of Jacque Bermejo are real or fake, then this is not worth reading. She or better say "that name" does not exist in any of my friends' list nor my contacs' list in the phone.

I cannot blame the Filipino to be such in rage! We have enough of stupid politicians and we don't need another one. In this trying times where people are on their best effort to help out a hand, such "commercial" can be really frustrating.

Whether such accounts are real or fake/hacked, it does not matter.... at this time. Ondoy might be angry for abandoning his stage of fame. We do not want him to come back, nyay! Let us give him utmost importance NOW. Re-focus!

This is again, a bitter lesson for all of us.

We must be aware by now that these social networks such as Facebook are not painted in the net for pure fun. As what we experienced, FB and TW have been instrumental in carrying out a faster cascade of information and relief operations. We must protect our accounts. We must be responsible. We must be vigilant. Never underestimate the power of internet. It can either boost your image or drown your morale.

This event has tested our ability to prioritize. Needless to say, our hand is very much needed to help our brothers and sisters. Equally important, our work is a must for our usual business shoudl continue otherwise our economy will further suffer. Bathing in sites or topics related to her, no matter how quick it may be, is definitely a minute by minute waste of time. Those minutes may SAVE lives in danger. Leave Jacque first, we will deal with that issue anytime soon. Ondoy first, Jacque later!

The best lesson of all? We ought to be good. In that way, there will be no one who would intend to inflcit our image with malicious attack.

And so I am spending much time here, time for me to end this up and email some other friends abroad for doantions and time for you to do it as well!

Move forward Philippines!
