News spreads fast on Twitter and Facebook.

Jacque-Bermejo-wall-comment
(click image to view larger size)

The quote that sparked hatred and anger from many Filipinos across the globe. Jacque Bermejo (or Jackie Bermejo), an OFW from Dubai, supposedly posted that quote on the wall section of the Facebook fanpage, Definitely Filipino, during the time when the tropical storm Ondoy has left many devastated homes and families here in the Philippines.

Who is she? A Marketing and PR Officer. Jacqueline is an experienced PR associate who has been active in the Middle East for over four years. Currently working with a number of luxury property developers. she has extensive knowledge of the market, media and what makes an excellent success story…

Well that’s what the Internet have to say about her, but what about the users.

A lot of people are now calling her insensitive, shameless, pathetic, and worse ‘persona non grata’. Replies of hate flooded the wall post. I saw the post on Facebook earlier today, but unfortunately I didn’t got a screenshot before they took it down. Some took great lengths to create Facebook hate clubs, and on the flip side, there is also the Jacque Bermejo is Innocent — support club.

Commenters on Yahoo! Answers have both positive and negative reactions about her. Some believed that her social media account was hacked, and that the starfishbuang pages were fake and not hers.

An entry from thegossiper.typepad.com posted a statement from Jacque’s brother

ok! it all started sa Friendster last year 2008, my sister told me that her account was hacked by someone mad at her prolly inggit or may galit… she really doesn’t know or what’s the reason why she has been hacked, of corse she’s pissed off because this person keeps messing up her friendster profile. So, hinayaan lang ng sister ko yun, since wala nmn xang alam sa social networking or kung ano man, she’s a working woman na at wala xang panahon magfriendster…

Visit thegossiper, for the complete statement, and also a screencap of the email.

There is also an alleged fake Facebook and Multiply account that uses the same handle, starfishbuang. The Facebook page — http://www.facebook.com/starfishbuang is already gone (click here to view screenshot). And as of this post the Multiply page is still active — http://starfishbuang.multiply.com

Comments are circulating around the Internet that these profile pages were not her’s, and it was made by someone who want’s to ruin her.

Interestingly someone took the time to create a Wikipedia entry on her. The page has already been deleted. But using Google cache I was able to get a screenshot of the page.

My opinion? Just let it be. We can’t blame her if there is a troll ruining her reputation. And on the other side, if the statement was really hers, then what’s the point adding fire to the flame. We have a crisis here in the Philippines, instead of using your time and effort on her, why not just contribute in helping the victims of floods.

I did my part… how about you?

One of my co-workers saw this AD on a news site (she is working on car accident news for our company’s website). The video was already shown in England, and also in other news sites like CNN, BBC, and The Daily Telegraph.

The video shows three young girls in a car. The driver is sending a text message when she gets in a major accident including several other cars. The girl is seriously hurt, and her friends and another driver are killed.

The PSA is being shown to high school students in England, to show the serious and sometimes deadly results of using a cell phone while driving.

Please keep the video circulating.

We know, we’re as shocked as you are! Sony has used the GamesCom stage in Cologne to announce the oh-so-tiny PS3 Slim. The good news is that the system sports both a slimmer form factor (33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter and 34 percent less power use) a 120GB hard drive and the tidy price tag of $299. It boasts all the same features as the current PS3, which means still no backwards compatibility with your PS2 games.

Now there is no reason not to buy a PS3 this holiday!, unless your broke >_< ouch..

Reports gathered from various sources indicates that at least 5,000 users are downloading (have downloaded) the video freely on the internet. While the compiled pirated DVD’s of Hayden Kho’s sex scandal videos being sold as high as 150 per disk. Not worth it in my opinion.

Comments are disabled to prevent people from posting the download links of the alleged videos.

The XCM Dominator joystick will help you “dominate” all opposition in the latest Street Fighter game. The USB based Dominator supports macro programming and will hold up to 20 keystroke combinations to help give you the unfair advantage in any game. No longer will you be logging countless hours getting the perfect finish down packed, just the press of a button will make you look like a video game god.
