Lol you can’t blame cultural sensitivity on this. Tayong mga Pinoy may mga kultura din na ino - observe. And if this happened to Pinoys naku malamang online kuyog din aabutin nung host.
Remember how Benny Blanco spat on the Jolly spaghetti? It wasn't just the food he disrecpected but the people who actually liked the food who are mostly Pinoys kasi atin ang Jobee. That's cultural insensitivity. Pag kapwa Pinoy natin nakasakit, may kuda pa din tau? Wag naman ganon.
Kaya wag maliitin pag may naoffend sa gesture mo. Hindi mo man sinasadya pero may nasaktan ka, apologizing is good manners and decent and humane. Kunwari may nabunggo ka at nasaktan yung tao, imbes ba na mag apologize ka kasi feeling mo di naman masakit, sasabihan mo ba ng "ang arte mo naman or ang sensitive mo naman!" or magsorry ka na lang?
Pinoy nga, hate din mahawakan without consent. Whats more pa kaya ang mga Black na always been natotorture and humiliates dahil sa kulay and buhok nila. Have some empathy and understanding sa kultura ng iba, 12:11 and 9:03.;
Golden rule kahit hindi sa mga patimpalak na ganito. Keep your hands to yourself. Kasi it's rude talaga to touch someone without their permission lalo if di naman talaga kayo close. Kahit na good pa intention mo restrain yourself from invading anyone's space. Also do it privately to avoid any kind of embarassment.
Yes!!! Even my kids are school tinuturuan na sila ng no body contact. Obviously they can hug each other but make sure it’s mutual. Make sure you’re not invading their personal space.
That's debatable. Paano na lang kung emergency or life or death situation, porke hindi kaclose kahit nanganganib hindi na lang hahawakan or iaasist for the sake of personal space and cultural belief? So if ever ba na nadapa yung contestant na 'yon or something unfortunate happens to her while on stage wether it is minor or not, bawal pa rin syang hawakan?
Ay naku! True. Lalo na satin pinoy. I experience when I was pregnant. Parang lahat may karapatan humawak sa tiyan ko. At first nailang ako pero siguro nasanay na. But this is something that we should stop doing. “Keep your hands to yourself”.
To 10:55am Yes kahit dito sa NorthAm if you are not qualified to help kahit emergency you should not attempt or help someone dahil ikaw pa ang madedemanda. Much more dyan sa issue ni Megan, , culture wise or not hindi naman lahat gusto hawakan without permission.
10:55 it is not debatable. If you don't have first aide training kahit pa may permission nung person you can't touch of move the person. You can be liable if something happens. Although may good samaritan law which gives protection dapat alam mo ano details ng law. General rule is you do not have any obligation to render help. Even when you call 911, possible sayo ang charge (depende sa state/country).
Hindi ko na sana papatulan to si 10:55 kaso halatang di gumaghamit ng sentido kumon e. Bakit nasa panganib ba yung buhay ni Ms Botswana nung hipuin siya ni Megan? Nadapa ba siya? Hindi naman di ba? So ano rason niya to touch her? Inamin na nga niya nagkamali siya kaya nag sorry.
True 1:56 lalo yung may fracture di mo pwede galawin kelangan mag antay ka ng ambulance. Kasi madedemanda ka pag lumala yung pasyente
10:55 Ma-defend mo lang talaga yung stand mo, no? Gamitin natin ang walang kwentang example mo na papatulan ko. Nung nadapa sa stage si Miriam Quiambao, may tumulong ba sa kanya? Wala. Kasi she was still conscious.
Malaking event yan, natural na may mga paramedics dyan. Kahit yung mga paramedics, sasabihan yung mga usisera na "Don't get in the way." If you will try to play a hero, mas mapapahamak lang yung unconscious. Kaya wag magmadunong kahit sincere naman na gusto mong tumulong at kung wala kang alam sa first aid. There are times, paramedics may ask for assistance sa mga bystanders, but it depends if they need your help.
1:56 the US has a good samaritan law in place. As long as you are acting in good faith, you will not be held liable. But the provisions are different for each state. But also, there are other factors that can further complicate this like a signed DNR.
Reminded me of that viral hairstylist video. "Can I touch you?" (Talking to her client who's there for a haircut) Like, yeah, how are you going to cut my hair genius?
"Can you tell me your pronouns?" Like b@$+£, just cut my hair.
10:55 dinamay damay mo pa Emergency eh ignorante ka naman pala sa SOP ng first aiding. magpapaalam ka muna bago ka hahawak at kung unconscious man kelangan may papaalaman ka pa din kahit di kamag anak.. respeto din tawag dun
5:09 I agree with Good Samaritan Law but it's tricky and risky. That should be the last resort because you might put someone else's life on the line and might put you on trial for your action. There's 911 in the US, anyway.
So mali pala yung tinap ko ang isang babae doon sa mall at pinaalam sa kanya na may tagos sya dahil ayaw nyang magrespond sa tawag na Miss. Mali rin yung lalaking hinablot pagilid ang babaeng muntik madale ng humaharurot na motorsiklo. Sa sobrang sensitive ng ibang tao, minsan ang hirap ng maging good samaritan dahil pwedeng ikaw pa ang mapasama.
4:54 kahit nga simpleng gusto mong tumulong or mag assist, dapat mag ask kang permission , simple magtanong s matanda ng you need help? Kasi merong iba magagalit or naiinsulto
Megan meant well and only wanted to assist. Pero ganun talaga. Of all people si Megan ang Isa sa pinaka mabait naging kontrobersyal pa. Buti na lng she was quick din to make amends.
akala ko bright mga classmates ko dito sa FP. may kinulang din pala sa sustansiya katulad ni 10:55 at 7:10. maling comparison. Since natapik mo naman pala yung babae, that means pwede mo naman siya unahan and sumenyas d ba or kausapin siya ng harapan? yun namang pagharurot ng motorsiklo, siyempre ibang usapan na yun. life and death situation na yun na may magagawa ka. yung kay botswana ba, life and death situation? isip isip din mga te.
10:55 May nalalaman ka pang "debatable" and "life or death situation" when this is none of these things. AGAIN, KEEP YOU HAND TO YOURSELF AND NEVER TOUCH SOMEONE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.
As much na di tayo naniniwala sa mga witchcrafts or pamahiin. Dapat igalang natin ang kultura nila. That part of the continent heavily believes in witchcraft and curse. Naniniwala sila that you can cast it by touching kaya ganun sila magreact. Isama mo pa syempre na they are heartbroken na di nanalo yung candidate nila.
100% I worked with a lot of Nigerians and Zimbabweans in my previous job, and they are very, very, very superstitious. More so than pinoys. And the females - very sensitive with their hair. There’s a lot of trauma and hardship associated with their hair. Megan fixing the hair and the reactions towards it is very much a cultural thing. No matter how good Megan’s intention was, she was at fault here. Her innocence on the African culture does not excuse her.
A true Queen. She is truly commendable for taking full responsibility of her mistake. Apologizing without excuses. She showed humility and accountability for her actions. May this be a teachable moment to all.
There. Well meaning, she held herself accountable, took steps to remedy the situation and will do better: all components of a good apology. I hope we can all move forward now.
I learned a lesson before the hard way. Ngayon literal na wala na akong paki, i keep my thoughts to myself. Kasi madalas kahit maganda intentions natin, hindi mganda ang tingin ng iba. Kaya madalas kahit gigil nako mag salita to say my piece, wa na ako talk ngayon.
Girl, kung gigil ka magsalita, all the more na itikom mo na lang bibig mo. Kasi kapag gigil ka, mas mangingibabaw ang emosyon mo. Pero kung wala kang nararamdamang gigil, that means clear and sound mind ka. Simple. Have you heard about Jordan Peterson? He's very calm and relaxed when he speaks his mind. Yung mga kausap niya ang gigil kaya hindi mo sila makampihan sa pinaglalaban nila.
Shempre natalo isisi sa iba. Kung nanalo yan baka sabihin swerte pa ung ginawa ni megan eh.. hays sa panahon ngayon mahirap ang maging mabait lahat may puna!
I never seen a contestant sa beauty pageant kung may style sila na tinatago yung mukha or mata sa buhok or parang emo style... Parang demonic naman kung isa lang mata papakita mo. Hindi naman din alam ni Megan yun gusto nya lang ayusin buhok siguro para mas makita yung ganda ng contestant. Ewan ko ah pero basta nag apologize yun nmn na ang gusto madinig ng tao kaya ok na din yan.
Buti na lang nag apologize siya. Sobrang mali na sa Harapan ng madlang pipol niya inayusan yung candidate at on the spot pa. Nasanay kasi siya na lagi niyang ginagawa ito sa local pageants.
11:47 Kahit siguro sa bahay, puwede namang ituro yan sa mga bata na If it's not yours, then don't touch it. basta kailangan lang, Walk the Talk ang mga nagsasabi nila. Kahit hindi nga sabihin, basta i-practice sa bahay na mag-ask muna ng permission bago galawin ang hindi sa kanila.
Sa katawan man, sa personal na gamit at space ng ibang tao, hope we can be more sensitive, ethical, and civilized. Isipin natin, kung pakialamanan ng iba yung atin, anong mararamdaman mo? Maybe sa iba ok lang pero wag nating kalimutan yung rumespeto ng boundaries ng kapwa natin. Well said, Megan. She explained why did she do that. She wasn't defensive with her statement. Ganyan dapat yung pattern. Hindi yung mag-aapologize pero nang-gagaslight pa.
She didn’t mean any harm. Kahit ako di ko alam yan noon. Nalaman ko na lang din na nung tumira na ako outside PH. Di naman tayo pinanganak na alam natin ang lahat.
My gosh!! Yan pa talaga ang nasabi mo. Ayan oh nagpakumbaba na ng todo yong tao, may puna ka pa din. Nakalimot yong tao eh, ang sa kanya ay concern lang. Napasama lang dahil sa pagkakaiba iba ng paniniwala ng tao. Itaas mo na, wag mo ng ingudngod pa.
Itigil na kasi mga Beauty Contest na yan puro kaartehan lang naman mga sumasali diyan. Etong si Megan wala rin naman ginagawa ngayon naging Koreaboo nalang din sya.
Meron ba sa inyong nakapanuod nung nasa loob ng PBB house yang si Megan? Sobrang layo lang kasi sa image nya ngayon bilang Beauty Queen. Nakakaloka mga ginawa nya noon sa PBB house😆
Now ko lang nakita yung video sa x.. I mean seryoso? Issue ba talaga toh? Wag kayo magalit pero nkita ko sa vid nag thank you p si Miss Botswana at nkasmile pa. Kapirasong buhok pla ang dumikit lng sa forehead nya inayos lang saglit ni Megan jusko world ano ngyayari yun lang issue na?
same sis. i dunno whats with them, ive read all thr comments, why hate Megan? Di ba pwedeng ngkamali lng sya. Yung iba ng dami na hansh at judgmnt s knya. Mga tao talaga, lalo pang sumsawsaw para madiin khit pa kapwa Pilipino nila
4:14 at some point you’re part of a culture and bashing what you don’t like about one culture but asking for respect for another just because you feel like it is hypocrisy.
All beliefs should be respected. Let’s not be selective.
pero if nanalo yon candidate nila they will not be upset kahit ayaw nila touch yon hair nila walang permission, they might say good luck yon ginawa ni meagan. I learned that too, first year ko s US, tho these african american people are touchy, hugging each other to greet, but my co worker from Kenya told me never touch their hair unless they say so. Its kinda confusing kc grabe sha maka hug even with different gender just to say hi. yon pla just found out na mostly kc daw naka wig cla.
Good job Megan for apologizing. Tbh, di ko rin alam na considered "witchcraft" pala yun. Though di ko rin naman gagawin yun na ayusin someone's hair kahit pa friend ko unless requested. Sana ma forgive sya ng Africans.
Ms. Megan Young is the absolute Ms. World, articulate, smart, beautiful, down-to-earth, and very humble. Everything she said is full of sincerity and she was able to address the concerns of those affected by her actions.
I can feel the sincerity. Pero to be clear, its also part of our custom to pat a friend's head or fix a friend's hair at times of distress... What she did wrong is that Miss Botswana is not her friend, to make it worst, a candidate of the pageant. Megan's intention is good with a bad approach. I'm still a fan though ♥️
She did ask the contestant. And that belief doesn't apply to that country but it does in some parts of Africa. I hope that before we throw stones mag research at magbasa din tayo. Tsk!
Girl, here's what she said verbatim: "I'm just going to fix your hair a little bit." This isn't asking permission. She's telling the person what she's going to do. Asking permission is- May I fix your hair a little bit? Or Do you mind if I fix your hair a little bit? Wag po natin i-confuse yung dalawa.
2:50 Megan went straight to her hair while saying "I'm just going to..." Ms. Africa might have been shocked and didn't want to embarass her so she didn't stop her. Megan didn't ask permission first.
Ang sensitive ng mga tao! Mga comments like kahit kaibigan,kapamilya ay di okay daw. Pinalaki lang ng mga tao. Hindi naman siya nanalo pero napagusapan. So maging thankful nalang siya nakilala ka Ms. Botswana.
Sensitive with no sense of ownership or right judgement nowadays. iba dito nakikiuso nalang din sa cultural sensitivity chuchu na kahit friend daw kelangan magpa alam. it's so exaggerated. it's like living a life right now literally walking on egg shells (or worse broken glass) cause you're so caught up in being politically correct. society gets so sucked into this political bs that we forget to live.
Eto ung comment na hinahanap ko. Kaya tuloy nagiging snob ang mga tao kasi sadyang gusto maging politically correct. Ung mali lang ni Meghan is she did it publically and to a contestant whose culture isnt ours, so malamang naoffend ung mga iba para sa kanya. Ither than that, continue being caring, Megan! In a world na maraming nagmamagaling, take the high road. :)
She's so low-key and classy. Im sure she didnt mean any harm. Wla tau mggwa if galit cla kc culture nla un. Kung stin dun nmn nangyri un for sure warla na. So take the punches nlng at apologize.
Yung mga taong sobrang sensitive at negative ang tingin sa gesture ni Megan ay mga taong ang sarap tawanan kapag may muta, bukas ang zipper, may tuyong laway o nadapa una ang mukha🤣🤣🤣
Ang literal naman nung nagsabi na sa salon, magpapaalam ba na hawakan yung buhok? Common sense, iinstruct mo nga sila kung ano gusto mong gawin sa buhok mo, or kung mani-pedi, kulay ng buhok? Wag pilosopo para lang madefend yung pagiging pakialamera at kalikutan ng kamay.
Napakadaming OA naman dito. May pa golden rule pa yung isa. It was an honest mistake—let’s end it there. In Megan’s POV, inaayos nya lang buhok nung contestant, which is something we commonly do here in Ph. In Africa’s POV, it’s cultural disrespect. Pero malay ba ni Megan, you can learn about the cultures around the globe and still miss something and it’s okay because beshie ang daming ibat ibang pamahiin dyan! Megan apologized, she owned up to her mistake —yun naman ang importante. Daming self righteous dito. As if alam na alam nyo lahat ng kultura sa buong mundo!
Tumpak. Ung mga iba, may pa sample pa na hindi hinahawakan kahit kaibigan mo pa. E di hindi mo yon friend. Haha so ibig sabihin ill be walking on eggshells all the time? Dont make things complicated..understand other cultures, sure, pero ung tipong kailangan baguhin ang character dahil sa cultural appropriation is too much na.
Pakialamera ka kasi sa buhok, wala naman akong mali sa buhok ni ms. Botswana, you should know the proper etiquette since she knows the fact that they are not the same country so culturally, what she have done may not be respectful to other people.
O sya ateng Megan, para sumaya sila. Wag ka ng mag host ever ulit sa Ms World. Hayaan mo na sila. Baka mas gusto nila na sila ang mag host at bida bida dyan.
Hindi nga issue kay botswana, tapos kayong mga bashers ang liligakig nyo. Saan kayo kumukuha ng energy? itrabaho nyo kaya yan para umangat nmn kayo sa buhay
Just because they're not on your side ganyan na yung comment mo. Time to reflect about your principles, just reflect kung bakit ganyan. Baka ikaw naman talaga sa iyo yung mali feeling mo lang tama kasi yun ang kinalakihan mo. Mali nagiging tama.
Well said. She really meant her apology
ReplyDeleteYou can tell her sincerity. No excuses. We might not understand their culture but at least respect it.
DeleteQueenly apology. Nagbasa siya ng FP.
DeleteAyan mga cultured kuno na mga Maritess at Bashers. Sampal niyo sa mga mukha niyo. Ambabaw niyo
DeleteSincere apology
DeleteKaya next time, it is better to just stick to your task or job wala na pa help help or pa touchy touchy para hindi malagay sa alanganin.
DeleteI've seen the video and nothing is wrong. It's the culture that is too sensitive I might say.
ReplyDeleteLol you can’t blame cultural sensitivity on this. Tayong mga Pinoy may mga kultura din na ino - observe. And if this happened to Pinoys naku malamang online kuyog din aabutin nung host.
DeleteRespect other people’s culture. Might not mean anything to you but it means a lot to them.
DeleteThe ones who complained are those people whose lives revolve around beauty pageants. Take the pageant away and their lives are meaningless.
Delete9:03 said as if pinoys are not over sensitive. Sino bang mahilig mag issue ng persona non grata at the drop of a hat.
DeleteIf you have offended someone (or a group of people in this case) ke wala kang nakitang pagkakamali or not, you should still apologize.
DeleteIsa ka pa. Pinopoint out na nga, nothing is wrong ka pa? Megan took accountability, kung ikaw cguro di ka pa aamin na may mali ka sa ginawa mo
Delete9:03 Try touching a random person's hair, see how they will react.
DeleteUng si Megan nga inaccept na na it was a thoughtless and disrespectful act pero heto ka pa rin na nagsasabi na too insensitive ang culture nila. Sigh.
DeleteRemember how Benny Blanco spat on the Jolly spaghetti? It wasn't just the food he disrecpected but the people who actually liked the food who are mostly Pinoys kasi atin ang Jobee. That's cultural insensitivity. Pag kapwa Pinoy natin nakasakit, may kuda pa din tau? Wag naman ganon.

ReplyDeleteHope the Africans forgive her.
Buti na lang nag apologize siya. Sobrang mali na sa Harapan ng madlang pipol niya inayusan yung candidate at on the spot pa. Nasanay kasi siya na lagi niyang ginagawa ito sa local pageants.

ReplyDelete12:23 Puwedeng magsabi muna na, You have something on your face. Kung hindi niya matanggal, ask permission kung puwede ikaw ang magtanggal.
Deletesame sis. i dunno whats with them, ive read all thr comments, why hate Megan? Di ba pwedeng ngkamali lng sya. Yung iba ng dami na hansh at judgmnt s knya. Mga tao talaga, lalo pang sumsawsaw para madiin khit pa kapwa Pilipino nila
DeleteAng plastik ng mga comments na respect their culture about witchcraft and all pero di marespeto yung ibang bagay lalo na kung iba sa pananaw niyo.
ReplyDelete12:25 Pananaw = individualism
DeleteCulture = collectivism
4:14 at some point you’re part of a culture and bashing what you don’t like about one culture but asking for respect for another just because you feel like it is hypocrisy.
DeleteAll beliefs should be respected. Let’s not be selective.
10:18 Hypocrisy or Educating about other nation's culture?
DeleteAng ganda nung full responsibility clause. That’s how you apologize.
ReplyDeletepero if nanalo yon candidate nila they will not be upset kahit ayaw nila touch yon hair nila walang permission, they might say good luck yon ginawa ni meagan. I learned that too, first year ko s US, tho these african american people are touchy, hugging each other to greet, but my co worker from Kenya told me never touch their hair unless they say so. Its kinda confusing kc grabe sha maka hug even with different gender just to say hi. yon pla just found out na mostly kc daw naka wig cla.
ReplyDeleteGrabe din kasi yung time at gastos na ginugugol nila sa hair nila. My coworker said it’s called a weave. Parang hair extension sa atin ang gamit nila.
DeleteGood job Megan for apologizing. Tbh, di ko rin alam na considered "witchcraft" pala yun. Though di ko rin naman gagawin yun na ayusin someone's hair kahit pa friend ko unless requested. Sana ma forgive sya ng Africans.
ReplyDeleteMukha namang honest mistake talaga eh.
ReplyDeleteGanyan ang apology di tulad nung kay MP.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh!!! A true queen 👑 indeed. I love Megan's beauty and attitude. ❤️
ReplyDeleteMs. Megan Young is the absolute Ms. World, articulate, smart, beautiful, down-to-earth, and very humble. Everything she said is full of sincerity and she was able to address the concerns of those affected by her actions.
ReplyDeleteVery queenly!
ReplyDeleteIto Yung apology na ma feel mong sincere
ReplyDeleteI would have posted a gif of the Sanderson Sisters singing “I Put A Spell on You” instead
ReplyDeleteif I were Megan, BUT she’s not as petty as I am 😅
I can feel the sincerity. Pero to be clear, its also part of our custom to pat a friend's head or fix a friend's hair at times of distress... What she did wrong is that Miss Botswana is not her friend, to make it worst, a candidate of the pageant. Megan's intention is good with a bad approach. I'm still a fan though ♥️
ReplyDeleteShe did ask the contestant. And that belief doesn't apply to that country but it does in some parts of Africa. I hope that before we throw stones mag research at magbasa din tayo. Tsk!
ReplyDeleteGirl, here's what she said verbatim: "I'm just going to fix your hair a little bit." This isn't asking permission. She's telling the person what she's going to do. Asking permission is- May I fix your hair a little bit? Or Do you mind if I fix your hair a little bit? Wag po natin i-confuse yung dalawa.
Delete2:50 Megan went straight to her hair while saying "I'm just going to..." Ms. Africa might have been shocked and didn't want to embarass her so she didn't stop her. Megan didn't ask permission first.
DeleteTe saang parte nagpaalam? Bago ka rin mag comment, improve mo muna listening skills mo.
DeleteShe meant no harm
ReplyDeleteHay pero i also get it
Don't touch someone whatever it is
Unless life or death situation siguro diba
Or like example may ipis LOL
Ang sensitive ng mga tao! Mga comments like kahit kaibigan,kapamilya ay di okay daw. Pinalaki lang ng mga tao. Hindi naman siya nanalo pero napagusapan. So maging thankful nalang siya nakilala ka Ms. Botswana.
ReplyDeleteSensitive with no sense of ownership or right judgement nowadays. iba dito nakikiuso nalang din sa cultural sensitivity chuchu na kahit friend daw kelangan magpa alam. it's so exaggerated. it's like living a life right now literally walking on egg shells (or worse broken glass) cause you're so caught up in being politically correct. society gets so sucked into this political bs that we forget to live.
DeleteEto ung comment na hinahanap ko. Kaya tuloy nagiging snob ang mga tao kasi sadyang gusto maging politically correct. Ung mali lang ni Meghan is she did it publically and to a contestant whose culture isnt ours, so malamang naoffend ung mga iba para sa kanya. Ither than that, continue being caring, Megan! In a world na maraming nagmamagaling, take the high road. :)
DeleteShe's so low-key and classy. Im sure she didnt mean any harm. Wla tau mggwa if galit cla kc culture nla un. Kung stin dun nmn nangyri un for sure warla na. So take the punches nlng at apologize.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't do anything wrong. No disrespect on her part since she said she was giving to fix her hair before actually it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a well-written apology letter. Kudos to Megan and please know that this action made me adore you.
ReplyDeleteYung mga taong sobrang sensitive at negative ang tingin sa gesture ni Megan ay mga taong ang sarap tawanan kapag may muta, bukas ang zipper, may tuyong laway o nadapa una ang mukha🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteLol true
DeleteAng literal naman nung nagsabi na sa salon, magpapaalam ba na hawakan yung buhok? Common sense, iinstruct mo nga sila kung ano gusto mong gawin sa buhok mo, or kung mani-pedi, kulay ng buhok? Wag pilosopo para lang madefend yung pagiging pakialamera at kalikutan ng kamay.
ReplyDeleteViral na ang incident kaya kahit nag apologize na sia . Damage has been done .
ReplyDeletethat's the whole point of an apology isn't it? to apologize for the damage done.
DeleteAno bahhh nag apologized na si Megan sincerely, she owned up to her action. Ano pa gusto mo? What do you think she needs to do to appease you?
DeleteSpoke like a queen indeed
ReplyDeleteGood on you Megan! That's how you take accountability and apologise. Proud of you Queen!
ReplyDeleteNapakadaming OA naman dito. May pa golden rule pa yung isa. It was an honest mistake—let’s end it there. In Megan’s POV, inaayos nya lang buhok nung contestant, which is something we commonly do here in Ph. In Africa’s POV, it’s cultural disrespect. Pero malay ba ni Megan, you can learn about the cultures around the globe and still miss something and it’s okay because beshie ang daming ibat ibang pamahiin dyan! Megan apologized, she owned up to her mistake —yun naman ang importante. Daming self righteous dito. As if alam na alam nyo lahat ng kultura sa buong mundo!
ReplyDeleteTumpak. Ung mga iba, may pa sample pa na hindi hinahawakan kahit kaibigan mo pa. E di hindi mo yon friend. Haha so ibig sabihin ill be walking on eggshells all the time? Dont make things complicated..understand other cultures, sure, pero ung tipong kailangan baguhin ang character dahil sa cultural appropriation is too much na.
DeletePakialamera ka kasi sa buhok, wala naman akong mali sa buhok ni ms. Botswana, you should know the proper etiquette since she knows the fact that they are not the same country so culturally, what she have done may not be respectful to other people.
ReplyDeleteto naman nagsorry na nga at nag take ng full responsibility. hahaha
DeleteStop ka na! She already apologized
DeleteO sya ateng Megan, para sumaya sila. Wag ka ng mag host ever ulit sa Ms World. Hayaan mo na sila. Baka mas gusto nila na sila ang mag host at bida bida dyan.
ReplyDeleteWag naman. She is wonderful. She just needed to evolve.
DeleteHindi nga issue kay botswana, tapos kayong mga bashers ang liligakig nyo. Saan kayo kumukuha ng energy? itrabaho nyo kaya yan para umangat nmn kayo sa buhay
ReplyDeletehirap, daming snowflakes at pa woke sa panahon ngayon.
ReplyDeleteJust because they're not on your side ganyan na yung comment mo. Time to reflect about your principles, just reflect kung bakit ganyan. Baka ikaw naman talaga sa iyo yung mali feeling mo lang tama kasi yun ang kinalakihan mo. Mali nagiging tama.
DeleteMariel padilla, this is how to apologize sincerely. learn from megan. bow
