The second chapter in the Malu Fernandez controversy continues to ensue as Malu Fernandez resumes her post as a columnist on Manila Standard Today last September 3 of this year.
As expected, the people who were angered by her comments about OFWs and who called for her resignation were alarmed of Manila Standard’s decision of keeping Fernandez as a sign of following their protocols. One of those who were agitated was Nick of Tingog.com.
Last September 4, Nick has announced a renewed call to boycott Manila Standard as a sign of saying that Filipinos will fight for the image of the OFWs and they would not accept bigotry and discrimination not only in this country but also in all parts of the world.
“Do not go to their website, do not buy their paper, and anything that they write. Unless it is a declaration of firing Malu Fernandez, it will fall on deaf ears.” -Nick of Tingog.com
If we could recall, Nick was one of the few who were very vocal in expressing his opinions on the issue when the issue first came out.

Note: I would like to make it clear that I have a different stand on this issue. I really don’t support the call for boycott, nor am I against it. ^_^

in my opinion, kainis nga yung write-up kasi di’ba, malaki ang part ng OFW’s sa paglago ng economy natin, tapos ganun lang sasabihin niya..
