Below is a Technorati Where’s the Fire? (WTF) on Malu Fernandez. Technorati defines WTFs as “short blurbs that explain the buzz around people, things, or events—why the hot topics are so hot—and you can vote the best ones to the top.”
Society columnist Malu Fernandez of the Philippines, in her now-controversial People Asia article “From Boracay to Greece,†insulted overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) that she encountered in a plane trip to Greece.
Fernandez wrote that she “wanted to slash [her] wrist at the thought of being trapped in a plane with all of them,†referring to the OFWs at a duty-free shop in Dubai, UAE. She also wrote that the OFWs were noisy and that her “Jo Malone [perfume] evaporated into thin air” while they smelled of cheap perfume brands.
