Thank you so much for your comment! Whenever I feel like giving up I always think about Jette. She was happier in dying than I am in living. I guess she makes us all feel stronger. Boom Hi Nova!

Thank you so much for your comment! Whenever I feel like giving up I always think about Jette. She was happier in dying than I am in living. I guess she makes us all feel stronger.

But it makes one feel stronger though. I've known Jette way back in high school (SHS). Your writing sums up, sort of, Jette's entire life. She's truly a remarkable person. Thank you for sharing. My prayers are with you and your family. Regards, Nova Hi Boom,

Actually, he said it was a jab at China and not the Philippines. And, if you view his past articles, it is possible that he was taking a jab at China after all. However, you're right to point out that he has to review his work before he has it published. It stuck too close to home to be considered a satire. If he really wanted it to be comical, he should've exaggerated it a whole lot more. Anyway, I hope he learned his lesson now. Boom PS - Thanks for posting... :) Hi Jenny!

And he claims he is a journalist? To me, this article sounds like it's coming from an ignorant, detestable, racist being who had nothing better to do with his time than sow seeds of hatred and bigotry. He is lucky to have a well-educated Filipino domestic helper who is most probably more intelligent than him. Let him be reminded that making Louisa work for 16 hours a day with that meagre salary is a perfect example of employer abuse and unfair labour practice. He has just implicated himself once more. I don't get his sarcasm at all. Case in point - responsible journalism, i.e. conduct a thorough research on the topic before even writing about it; and review the article before publishing it to ensure it is within professional and ethical bounds. Mr. Tsao needs to get educated badly. Thanks, Tito Boom, for posting this. Respect begets respect. Love to all the Filipinos!!
