Welcome back to the blogosphere. I've decided to write again since I am too expressive for Twitter to contain and I think that Facebook is a place where one gets to learn with each other and see positive things that don't have to be redundant. This matter isn't Facebook-worthy, thus, I'm posting it on here.
If you are a Filipino but you haven't heard of Vhong Navarro, Deniece Cornejo, and Cedric Lee, the two former's sexual meet-up, and the latter's alleged participation in the dancer-comedian's mauling incident, you're lucky. Unfortunately, I'm not. It's been a week, more than a week even, since my Facebook feed has been flooded with reposts, shares, and what not regarding this issue and I'm starting to lose around 10% of my Facebook contacts because of that.
Personally, I think we should put this matter to a rest and let me state my case.
First, this incident doesn't have to do, at all, in our daily lives. Diving into their swamp of controversies won't give us a bonus in our jobs, nor will it give us a plus point in our grades. The truth of the matter is, talking about them makes us less of a person, intellectually. Small minds talk about people and discussing about their lives, taking sides without knowing all the facts, makes us stupid people.
Secondly, Vhong wouldn't have been mauled had he been loyal to his girlfriend. Philippines is a culture of machismo and chauvinism and being a player, regardless of how less attractive your face is, makes most guys think that they are great. The more manyakis you are, the bigger it defines your manhood.
Third, there's what we call court and being rich and famous as they are, they can afford their lawyers and they have all the time to wait and suffer from the poor, slow-moving, and questionable justice system that we have. Let them bring this matter to somewhere it deserves to be placed.
Fourth, we blame media for making this molehill out of a mountain. Always remember that in economics, businesses always go for whatever the demand is and with the majority of us buying this rubbish, that makes them shove us with more updates about this people. Our local TV and newspapers have more than something to offer to us and let's not allow them to feed us with crap. If we ignore this issue, they will stop talking asking these people to guest on their shows.
Fifth, the Philippines has a lot of issues to address. Let us be vigilant about the on-going cases such as corruption, power hike, Spratly Islands, and other pressing matters that directly affect us.
Sixth, Vhong doesn't care about us. We or our loved ones might have been bullied, or battered, or discriminated against but there was no Vhong Navarro who tweeted #PrayForWhoeverWeAre. Kara David and Boy Abunda didn't ask for our time to get interviewed. No print media made us the headline.
Seventh, like any other name with an unnecessary H in it, Vhong is too jologs to read. Add the name Deniece. What the hell were her parents thinking when they coined that name?
People will say "Walang basagan ng trip" and that's the usual response I get from people. Yes. This is a democratic country. We are entitled to discuss about anything but we also have the responsibility to make this world less annoying and more sensible for other lives. Vhong can move on with his life, he can earn millions in a few days, he can have sex with more girls, can fix his nose again. If we continue to talk about them, will millions be fed in our hungry mouths? No. So let's better stop this craziness and move on with our lives.
Let's not make this a national issue.
