huh! another issue on racial discrimination
got this from Jojo La Maria's Note on facebook

Candy Pangilinan said, "TAO PO AKO, HINDI PO AKO IGOROT..."

I guessed it right! You would read my bulletin because you were affected by the subject...

I actually heard those words come out from Candy Pangilinan's mouth TWICE this afternoon (May 9, 2009) during her PRE-MOTHER’S DAY show in SM Baguio.

She was late for the show and a DJ from a radio station started the program for her by giving away prizes to the audience who were within the barricades. She suddenly appeared and greeted the crowd and also walked down the run-way. It was when she reached the end of the run-way when she blurted out those words.

I was affected the first time she blurted it out, but just thought that she might have said it wrongly… but when she did a replay of her entrance, she said the same phrase again. Since most of her audience were not Igorots and are not from the Cordilleras (we are not people who wouldn’t pass up the chance to see artistas), no one reacted to what she said. My mother-in-law who just arrived and didn’t get to hear the ignorant remarks was starting to enjoy Candy’s antics on stage until I told her what Candy has said earlier. As what I have expected, her blood pressure shoot up and was mad. She started telling to the other people what I have told her and some just disregarded it and said that it was just a joke (obviously, they were not from here). As I have observed, most of the individuals called on stage to claim their prizes were mostly from the different regions near the Cordillera.


What she has said is not something to be ignored, it is not a RACIAL DISCRIMINATION, but a RACIAL MURDER. We were not simply discriminated, but we were wiped out from humanity by her statement alone. We are now in the modern times where we are supposed to be more educated and more exposed. Would you believe if she would say in the future that she didn’t know that we, the Igorots are humans too? What would the children who have heard those statements think and say when they go back to school?

What would you suggest that we do about this?

dont get2 her gigs /shows or    movies.

the usual> she  wants free publiciity !

nilalanggam na si candy CP's site: http://candiva.multiply.com/
she did an apology pero parang may kulang... ano po sa palagay niyo?

Tsk tsk tsk... If only Carlos P. Romulo were alive candy could probably ask pointers on how he handled a similar crisis he had to face during his colorful political career. Igorot elders even stormed Malacanang to demand an explanation and an apology. History does repeat itself. I hear there's a Pangilinan running for national office next year... Blame it on name recognition if he gets trashed up there in the north...

Dear madla69,

I am truly sorry if I have uttered such insensitve remarks. I did not mean to hurt anyone, especially the Igorots from whom I know our roots come from. I did not mean it to be that way. It was a careless remark and for that I am truly sorry.

The harm is done and no matter what my explanation and intention was when I uttered such would not matter at this point. I clearly remember that I did an apology for such carelessness during the show. I was unaware of my insensitivity and stupidity.

I wanted to be a part of the community and delivered the lines wrongly. In all my shows I always make it a point to make my audience feel that I am a part and one with them. If you finished the show, I apologized and explained myself; and even uplifted the Igorot community and am very proud for what they have contributed in our modern society. I, as a person and a Filipino, would never discriminate my roots, my ancestors and my fellow Filipino.

If you read my blogs, you would certainly see that I am not a racial murderer.
Again, I am deeply sorry. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive and understand me.

Candy Pangilinan

She only wrote this once - then cut and paste for about half a dozen more = then suddenly - there were more comments coming in than she can cut and paste.

What a shame - she just dug a hole for herself - a hole too deep and it might ( I hope) be impossible for her to get out - what a shame

punong-puno na po ng comments ang multiply account nia! at gaya po ng sabi ni angel...iisa lang ang sinulat niang apology..copy-paste lang ginagawa nia! sus! sigurado..takot na sia tumuntong dito sa baguio!
