UPDATED: Jacque Bermejo, who?

Sa gitna ng mga kasalukuyang kaganapan sa metro manila at mga probinsya na naapektuhan ng bagyong ondoy, meron ding nagaganap na “kaguluhan” sa mundo ng sapot.

Ngayon masasabi ko, buhay na buhay pa rin pala ang dugong makabayan sa karamihan sa atin. Sino mag-aakala na ang isang simpleng komento o reaksyon ay pupukaw sa damdamin ni Juan de la Cruz.

Ang screenshots na makikita nyo sa baba ay mga komento ng ating kapwa Pilipino, pero hindi ko alam kung tinuturing pa ba niya ang sarili niyang Pilipino o isa na lamang butil sa di mabilang na buhangin kung saan siya naroroon.

Nakakapa-nginig nga naman ng laman ang kanyang mensahe. Kung kaya’t hindi ko masisi ang ilan sa kanilang mga reaksyon. Nagngi-ngitngit ang karamihan. Gigil na gigil ang iba. Maraming hindi makontrol ang galit kaya nakapagbitaw na rin ng hindi magagandang salita.

Isa itong leksyon na kelangan nating mag-ingat sa mga binibitawang salita. Malamang sa ngayon napagtanto niya na ang epekto ng kanyang sinabi… Pero huli na ang lahat.

Hindi ko ma-imagine kung ano ba ang nararamdaman niya sa mga oras na to sa dami ng natatanggap niyang response at comments sa kanyang facebook at multiply site. Kasing-bilis ng pagtaas ng tubig baha ang pagdating ng mga reaksyon. Sinadya kong di na maglagay ng link kasi di naman kayo mahihirapang maghanap. Marami na siyang “Fans Club”, nagkalat na ang pangalan niya sa blogosphere, at kahit sa Wikipedia, mahahanap mo siya. O di kaya i-google mo na lang.

Pero ito ipo-post ko para mabasa niyo. Kayo na bahalang humusga.

Ang masasabi ko lang, kung sino ka man, JACQUE BERMEJO, tunay man o hindi, sana nag-iisa ka lang at wala ka ng katulad.

UPDATE: taken from pinoyambisyoso.com

Jacque Bermejo made her official statement. Jacque received calls and emails from friends and relatives informing her about the issue. She was crying about the issue slapped on her. His brother explained that it was not her sister’s account. If this letter’s from Jacque Bermejo herself, so be it.

This is my real account please help disseminate.

I am issuing this statement to clear my name in the current controversy in which I allegedly posted a highly insensitive and offensive message on the social networking website, Facebook, in relation to the victims of typhoon Ondoy that recently struck parts of the Philippines.

About two years ago, an anonymous source created these accounts using my identity, posting my personal details, my real pictures captioned roughly and attacking other people. Because of these incidents, I reported such abuses and sent my credentials to the administrators of such sites, particularly Facebook. I have been abused and am still being abused online in social networking websites such as Facebook, Friendster, Multiply etc.

In the early stages, I was advised by close friends to ignore the situation, saying this would simply go away. Unfortunately, it has not stopped. Hence, I filed a complaint with the Dubai Police about eight months ago hoping they could help me with my problem. Should anyone wish to check my statement, my case is still under investigation with said authorities.

Time passed and these sites continued to generate malicious, obscene and cruel messages that are widely exposed and relayed to the public under my name.

Yesterday, September 27th 2009, I received phone calls from my close friends regarding very alarming posts in the above mentioned websites that directly offended flood victims as a result of typhoon Ondoy..

These malicious statement(s) which are posted under account names Jacque or Jackie are not of my doing. It is unfortunate that such statements were maliciously attributed to me and I do sympathize and understand the adverse and somehow verbally violent reaction that has been elicited by such insensitive statements or posts. Rest assured, I have taken every legal step that can be done in this regard.

I too, have become a victim as much as those who may have lost their lives and properties to such a devastating natural calamity. This recent controversy has greatly affected my reputation, my family, and my friends. I am devastated and shocked at the extent my character, my personal information and private space have been violated.

I have a deep respect and regard for my country. I am proud to be a Filipino and would never say or do anything to harm the interest of my country or countrymen. I have also had the privilege of participating in civic-oriented activities in Dubai, particularly in trying to help my fellow countrymen seek employment during the height of mass layoffs brought about by the ongoing global financial crisis, as well as those seeking employment for the first time. Making a mockery of any unfortunate incidents befalling any of my fellow Filipinos is simply contrary to my character. I condemn the person or persons behind these malicious acts to impute damage on my integrity and I hope that you can dig deep into your hearts and minds to truly find the truth in all these.
