I'm not a fan of miss u. I've always thought abt it as just a form of entertainment with no real meaningful advocacy and tangible results. If the current miss u does something about this call, I'll maybe radically change my stand on this. Not that it matters but I do feel for our marginalized fellow filipinos. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the disparity in our society. While celebrities are enjoying the monetory rewards of promoting materialism, people in the b/g whom we don't see are suffering. So yea, miss u, i hope you do something about this.
teh dumilat tayong lahat sa mundong ibabaw na may mayaman may mahirap. Walang pantay pantay. Kahit saang bansa sa pa manirahan , there is disparity in the society.
2:05 wag ignoramus. Malaki talaga ang disparity ng mayaman sa mahirap sa Pilipinas. Sa European countries hindi naman ganyan kahit sa America. Kasi yung para sa lahat napupunta sa iilan . Yan un nakapwesto. Labas labas ng kweba.
2:48 may mga disparity pa rin ngayon lalo na sa America na madaming homeless, Europe marami din mahirap , hindi kasing hirap ng Pilipino pero kay mga mahihirap pa din, ganyan talaga buhay.
Totoo naman na meron talagang disparity between rich and poor, kahit saan pa yan, but that is not an excuse not to raise awareness about injustice, diba sabi nga - that the only necessary thing for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
not every issue is true, tulad nito. Matagal na ang Jewelmer, matagal na rin nagkalat ang South Sea Pearls at marami ang nagbebenta all over the Philippines. Indigenous or kahit sinong Pilipino doesn't have the monopoly on these pearls. Maraming ibang source na pearl farms. How sure are we na iisa lang ang pagkukuhaan ng Pearls. Utak utak din kung minsan.
this thing happened 70s hindi pa pinanganak ang karamihan dito. There is no IPRA law back in the 70s. So this whole thing is moot in academic. Kahit na ano pa sabihin niyo, walang kaso.
Hay, lahat nalang may issue. Lahat gusto magkapapel, anu ba gusto mangyari nyan at sa miss u winner talaga mag ko call out. Yes nanjan na tayo, may naagrabyado pero bat di tayo magstart sa bayan natin muna. I call out ung gov, mga pinoy na may malaking collection ng pearls, etc. Parang ang dating tuloy eh nagpapansin. Anu ba magagawa ni Miss U, magpopost sa socmed nya tapos anu? Mawawalan pa ng prangkisa ang kumpanya?
Unahin nating baguhin ung mga bagay na kaya nating baguhin bago udyukan ang iba tao na magbago.
3:09 ang ibig nya sabihin ikaw muna magbago sa sarili mo, sa bakuran mo, sa bansa mo bago sa iba. Ikaw ang di nakakaintindi. Bat mo uutusan ang foreigner, kasalanan ba nya na un ang perlas nya. Baka nga gaya mo eh di din nya alam san galing yan. Bat si miss universe ang dapat maglend ng voice? Bat di ung mga mas may kapangyarihan sa lugar ng palawan ang i call outnila. Un un
Meron ba talaga nagagawa ang miss universe title holder than just post for cameras na kunyari ganito ganyan ang advocacies nila? Iiyak kunyari sa videos blah blah. Wake up people hahahaha
The winner is bound to promote products and services as deemed fit by Miss U Org. May tie up with Jewelmer, alangan naman she fights a major sponsor/partner?!
Pero props sa org for using the recent Miss U to expose Jewelmer.
Sierra Leone has “Blood Diamonds”, Colombia has “Blood Emeralds”, Mozambique has “Blood Rubies”, Madagascar has “Blood Sapphires”, Myanmar has “Blood Jades” and Afghanistan has “Blood Lapis Lazulis”. Now, Pinas naman has these “Blood Pearls”.
Lol 2:06 yung sa Greenhills naman karamihan fake. Mga seashells. Yung ibang nabili ko don na gasgas na or fade kulay kasi fake. Not all fake sa GH. Yung mga mura.
haaay, ang gulo ng MU under haluu. pero bakit ngayon lang sila nagsalita? dapat nuon pa or pag unveil ng crown. pwede naman pala nila gawin itong ginawa nila long time ago. i still need to hear jewelmer's side para patas. para na kasing very typical pinoy na ang dating. hihilahin ang kabayang nag succeed na, very crab mentality.
If i hear jewelmer's side at parang ang mali ay sa kanila, then I will change my mind and support the aggrieved party.
Taray! Ginawa nilang government agency si Denmark. Though may advocacy yan si ate, go to the right agency and appeal there. Binigay lang yan sakanya and yung obligation nya e yung tasks at advocacies na nakatoka sakanya. Instead of educating her about her crown, why don’t you educate your fellow Filipinos and keep pursuing it to the right agency. Create a social media buzz so us pinoys will be aware too para sama sama naten mabigyan ng boses yan.
pakialam ba ni Denmark dyan and pano kung hindi naman yan agrieved, common ho pearls sa Pilipinas, marami din nagpaparami ng pearls sa ibat ibang lugar. Sana wag tayong echusero
It's a media mileage move. I don't think they expect the winner to return the crown. This is to bring back Jewelmer'a history to the present. It helpa din na Scandi siya and they are staunch nature and human rights protectors, so baka ma-pick up ng EU press.
7:40kahit mag ingay sila, walang maniwala dyan sa pinagsasabi nila. Wala din kaso ang naifile against these companies. So malamang hindi legit itong mga supposedly nagiingay.
Very low act of DESPERATION naman neto. IDAMAY BA TALAGA SI MS. U???!!! Himdi na nahiya! Bakt hindi SAN MIGUEL o JEWELMER ang gyerahin nyo? Ang tapang nyo lang sa socmed
ang alam ko marami naman ang nagculture ng pearls, meron pa niyan sa mga Davao and other parts of the Philippines na may katubigan. Pearls are very common in this country.
Check nyo po yung FB page nila may mga press releases na sila about the Jewelmer crown nung nilabas yung crown and Jewelmer itself noon pa, but syempre nag trending lang itong recent.
Ay hala?! si Jewelmer, Philippine government at ang MU ang i-call out mo dahil sila ang gumawa at nagpagawa. Bakit si Ms. Denmark eh pinasuot lang naman sa kanya yan, pahiram lang, di naman yan kanya na. So kapag nagrespond sayo si Ms. Denmark at di nya na isusuot yan or magcomment lang sa issue what will happen to her as the new winner? what if si Chelsea ang winner, iko-call out pa ba? or proud to be pinoy na naman ang peg
Grabe yung comment ng iba dito. Nanawagan lang naman sila sa Miss Universe for global awareness and considering she wears the crown of blood pearls. Don't you think na they tried to appeal with the government before? Bakit sa tingin niyo na nagresort sila sa ganito?
Please be sensitive sa plight nila. Ito ang totoong marginalize talaga sa society. Hindi yung mga kung anu anong party list.
Iyong nagcomment na kadamidaming pearl naman sa Pilipinas at di nacallout, there is such a thing as ethical harvesting ng pearls. Kung nag-displace ka ng IP, at tinanggalan ng karapatan para sa subsistence fishing? Ethical ba yun?
Bat ngayon lang sila nagiingay. You are putting the winner in a very difficult situation/position she didn't choose. Don't prove something in the expense of others. Dapat during the inception palang ng crown or for sure nabalitaan na nila yan prior of making the crown, dapat doon palang they tried to stop it na if they are truly advocates of what they fighting for.
The OP is referring to their issue with the crown. Bat hindi sila naginterfere in making the crown bat naghintay pa sila magkaroon ng winner at ilalagay sa difficult position yung winner. I know they're advocating a very good social issue pero hindi dapat yung winner ang ilalagay nila sa alanganin. Yung makers ng crown ang kalaban.
FyI, IPRA law was passed 1997. Walang IPRA during the 70s so malamang hindi covered ng IPRA law ang mga yan. Also what indigenous people are you talking about. Kaunti lang ang type of IP sa Pilipinas, hindi pwedeng mag imbento ng grupo.
I'm not a fan of miss u. I've always thought abt it as just a form of entertainment with no real meaningful advocacy and tangible results. If the current miss u does something about this call, I'll maybe radically change my stand on this. Not that it matters but I do feel for our marginalized fellow filipinos.

ReplyDeletewala kaming pakialam, the world is definintely unfair. So we live with the situation.
DeleteLive with the situation? Wtf?!
Delete2:05 "wala kaming pakialam"
DeleteNagpaalam ka ba sa mga taong dinamay mo sa "kami" or feeling representative ka lang?
205 very very insensitive
Deletereality bites my dear, there exists disparity in the society. Live with it.
Deleteteh dumilat tayong lahat sa mundong ibabaw na may mayaman may mahirap. Walang pantay pantay. Kahit saang bansa sa pa manirahan , there is disparity in the society.
Delete3:17 that's what pinoys call resiliency lol. That's why hanggang diyan na lang mga tao they will never demand or seek for something better.
Delete2:05 wag ignoramus. Malaki talaga ang disparity ng mayaman sa mahirap sa Pilipinas. Sa European countries hindi naman ganyan kahit sa America. Kasi yung para sa lahat napupunta sa iilan . Yan un nakapwesto. Labas labas ng kweba.

They were asking the winner to lend her voice. Anong sinasabi mong "udyukan ang ina Tao na magbago"? Reading comprehension mo ha.

Delete3:09 “this is not an appeal; it is a call to action”
DeleteThe winner is bound to promote products and services as deemed fit by Miss U Org. May tie up with Jewelmer, alangan naman she fights a major sponsor/partner?!
DeletePero props sa org for using the recent Miss U to expose Jewelmer.
True!
DeleteThere's a saying... :D :D :D Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You :) :) :) The elites are all connected ;) ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteHala Jewelmer ano to? Kala ko blood diamonds lang meron din pala blood pearls.
ReplyDeleteYes martial law pa lang issue na yan. The island was acquired at that time.
DeleteSierra Leone has “Blood Diamonds”, Colombia has “Blood Emeralds”, Mozambique has “Blood Rubies”, Madagascar has “Blood Sapphires”, Myanmar has “Blood Jades” and Afghanistan has “Blood Lapis Lazulis”. Now, Pinas naman has these “Blood Pearls”.
Deletechos pasali sali lang ang Pilipino sa issue. Kadaming pearls sa Greenhills similar to this na never naman na call out!
Delete206 Just because wala kang alam sa istorya ng mga indigenous Filipinos, it doesn't mean you have the right to belittle it.
Delete2.06 nakakapanindig balahibo ang kawalan mo ng brain cells.
DeleteLol 2:06 yung sa Greenhills naman karamihan fake. Mga seashells. Yung ibang nabili ko don na gasgas na or fade kulay kasi fake. Not all fake sa GH. Yung mga mura.
Deletemarami din jewelers offering the same type of pearls hindi lang jewelmer, napakarami.
Delete3:46 dapat marunong kayo tumingin ng south sea pearls, itest nyo kung magaspang sa ngipin.
Deletehaaay, ang gulo ng MU under haluu. pero bakit ngayon lang sila nagsalita? dapat nuon pa or pag unveil ng crown. pwede naman pala nila gawin itong ginawa nila long time ago. i still need to hear jewelmer's side para patas. para na kasing very typical pinoy na ang dating. hihilahin ang kabayang nag succeed na, very crab mentality.

Deletenaisip nyo ba ang media mileage at symbolism if Denmark will refuse to wear the crown?
DeleteIt's a media mileage move. I don't think they expect the winner to return the crown. This is to bring back Jewelmer'a history to the present. It helpa din na Scandi siya and they are staunch nature and human rights protectors, so baka ma-pick up ng EU press.
Delete7:40kahit mag ingay sila, walang maniwala dyan sa pinagsasabi nila. Wala din kaso ang naifile against these companies. So malamang hindi legit itong mga supposedly nagiingay.
DeleteWhat do you expect? Most of big organizations meron at meron talaga bahid ng corruption.
ReplyDeleteso ano nga ang pakialam ni Miss U dyan? sa baranggay sila mag reklamo.
DeleteThe rich and powerful are above the law. Nothing will happen to their case.
ReplyDeletekaloka, wala talaga yan dshil matagal ng kalakaran sa Pinas ang pearls.
Deletewala nga silang case to begin with.
DeleteDapat nung ibinalita pa lang yung koronang ito may nagreklamo na
ReplyDeletebaka nag-wait lang ng winner, kasi kung si Chelsea ay baka quiet lang daw sila kasi Pinoy Pride
Deletehindi yang korona ang punterya nila, ang tagal na ng jewelmer at iba pang jewelry shops sa malls na nagbebenta ng mga pearls.
Delete♥️
ReplyDeleteVery low act of DESPERATION naman neto. IDAMAY BA TALAGA SI MS. U???!!! Himdi na nahiya! Bakt hindi SAN MIGUEL o JEWELMER ang gyerahin nyo? Ang tapang nyo lang sa socmed
ReplyDeleteTrue, mga echusera, gerahin nila lahat ng tiangge na nagbebenta ng similar pearls!
DeleteNakakahiya ang comment nyo. Walang empathy. Walang reading comprehension. Walang pagintindi sa situation.
DeleteThey were fighting both since the 80s pa.
Deletemanawagan kayo kay greta na mas madaming suot na jewelmer kesa sa korona
ReplyDeleteLol. Bakit kay Miss Denmark kayo nagsusulat eh andaming clients ang Jewelmer? I’m sure may idea naman kayo kung sinu-sino. Sawsaw.
ReplyDeleteCultured pearls yata ito di ba? Alangan sila ang umani tapos iba ang nagtanim.
ReplyDeleteang alam ko marami naman ang nagculture ng pearls, meron pa niyan sa mga Davao and other parts of the Philippines na may katubigan. Pearls are very common in this country.
DeleteCheck nyo po yung FB page nila may mga press releases na sila about the Jewelmer crown nung nilabas yung crown and Jewelmer itself noon pa, but syempre nag trending lang itong recent.
ReplyDeleteso why only this year! dapat sinimulan nila sa 1970 kasi anong petsa na. Wala ng indigenous na pinagsasasabi nila.
Deletebaka idemanda ito nung Jewelmer kasi panira. Yan ang hirap sa iba nating mga kababayan, gumagawa ng issue na wala sa hulog.
ReplyDeleteAy hala?! si Jewelmer, Philippine government at ang MU ang i-call out mo dahil sila ang gumawa at nagpagawa. Bakit si Ms. Denmark eh pinasuot lang naman sa kanya yan, pahiram lang, di naman yan kanya na. So kapag nagrespond sayo si Ms. Denmark at di nya na isusuot yan or magcomment lang sa issue what will happen to her as the new winner? what if si Chelsea ang winner, iko-call out pa ba? or proud to be pinoy na naman ang peg
ReplyDeleteTheir calls sa govt and these corporatiins fall on deaf ears. Kung ikaw hindi pinapakunggan diba minsan nagpapasabi ka?
Deletehindi lang jewelmer ang pagawaan ng South Sea Pearls, nagkalat yan sa mga malls, sa mga Tiange, sa Quaipo etc.
Delete1974 pa nangyayari na, 2024 na ay. Kung hindi pa na-highlight sa Ms U eh wala naman iha-hanash ang mga ito
ReplyDeleteni hindi nga alam ano ang grupo na yan, bigla lang din sumulpot.
DeleteMay mga kung anong paandar na naman mga grupong ito, baka mademanda kayo nung Jewelmer kaka panira nyo.
ReplyDeleteGrabe yung comment ng iba dito. Nanawagan lang naman sila sa Miss Universe for global awareness and considering she wears the crown of blood pearls. Don't you think na they tried to appeal with the government before? Bakit sa tingin niyo na nagresort sila sa ganito?
ReplyDeletePlease be sensitive sa plight nila. Ito ang totoong marginalize talaga sa society. Hindi yung mga kung anu anong party list.
Iyong nagcomment na kadamidaming pearl naman sa Pilipinas at di nacallout, there is such a thing as ethical harvesting ng pearls. Kung nag-displace ka ng IP, at tinanggalan ng karapatan para sa subsistence fishing? Ethical ba yun?
ReplyDeleteSa pagkaka-alam ko ang pearl farm ng Jewelmer is located sa Taytay Palawan (North) not Balabac (South). Anong issue ni koya?
ReplyDeleteBat ngayon lang sila nagiingay. You are putting the winner in a very difficult situation/position she didn't choose. Don't prove something in the expense of others. Dapat during the inception palang ng crown or for sure nabalitaan na nila yan prior of making the crown, dapat doon palang they tried to stop it na if they are truly advocates of what they fighting for.
ReplyDelete1970's pa to when the area was allegedly forcibly taken from them under martial law.
Delete70's pa, ngayon lang nag ingay? clout chaser.
DeleteThe OP is referring to their issue with the crown. Bat hindi sila naginterfere in making the crown bat naghintay pa sila magkaroon ng winner at ilalagay sa difficult position yung winner. I know they're advocating a very good social issue pero hindi dapat yung winner ang ilalagay nila sa alanganin. Yung makers ng crown ang kalaban.
Deleteang pinakamalaking katanungan is bakit hindi sila noong 70s nagkukuda! anong petsa na.
DeleteFyI, IPRA law was passed 1997. Walang IPRA during the 70s so malamang hindi covered ng IPRA law ang mga yan. Also what indigenous people are you talking about. Kaunti lang ang type of IP sa Pilipinas, hindi pwedeng mag imbento ng grupo.
