Guys,
Please help us
in sending the official statement below from our fellow UP Alumni, Jacqueline
Bermejo, in response to the controversial posting in FB. Let this be a lesson
learned that not everything we read on the Internet are true. We have our own
ways of verifying all information first before believing and checking if the
sources are reliable.
Now if you have
your online accounts for such social networking sites, make sure that you check
them regularly because anybody can be a victim like Ms. Jacqueline Bermejo.
Thank you for
your support. J
Regards,

Subject: Fw: [UPsaUAE] Official Statement from Jacqueline Bermejo
Sent from my BlackBerry®
Dear All,
Please read below the
official statement from Ms. Jacqueline Bermejo, regarding the controversial
post which had circulated in various social networking sites which in turn
resulted to a hate campaign against her:
"I am issuing
this statement to clear my name in the current controversy in which I allegedly
posted a highly insensitive and offensive message on the social networking
website, Facebook, in relation to the victims of typhoon Ondoy that recently
struck parts of the Philippines .
About two years ago, an
anonymous source created these accounts using my identity, posting my personal
details, my real pictures captioned roughly and attacking other people. Because
of these incidents, I reported such abuses and sent my credentials to the
administrators of such sites, particularly Facebook. I have been abused and am
still being abused online in social networking websites such as Facebook,
Friendster, Multiply etc.
In the early stages, I was
advised by close friends to ignore the situation, saying this would simply go
away. Unfortunately, it has not stopped. Hence, I filed a complaint with the
Dubai Police about eight months ago hoping they could help me with my problem.
Should anyone wish to check my statement, my case is still under investigation
with said authorities.
Time passed and these sites
continued to generate malicious, obscene and cruel messages that are widely
exposed and relayed to the public under my name.
Yesterday, September 27th 2009, I received phone calls from my
close friends regarding very alarming posts in the above mentioned websites
that directly offended flood victims as a result of typhoon Ondoy..
These malicious statement(s)
which are posted under account names Jacque or Jackie are not of my doing. It
is unfortunate that such statements were maliciously attributed to me andI do
sympathize and understand the adverse and somehow verbally violent reaction
that has been elicited by such insensitive statements or posts. Rest assured, I
have taken every legal step that can be done in this regard.
I too, have become a victim as
much as those who may have lost their lives and properties to such a
devastating natural calamity. This recent controversy has greatly affected my
reputation, my family, and my friends. I am devastated and shocked at the
extent my character, my personal information and private space have been
violated.
I have a deep respect and
regard for my country. I am proud to be a Filipino and would never say or do
anything to harm the interest of my country or countrymen. I have also had the
privilege of participating in civic-oriented activities in Dubai , particularly
in trying to help my fellow countrymen seek employment during the height of
mass layoffs brought about by the ongoing global financial crisis, as well as
those seeking employment for the first time. Making a mockery of any
unfortunate incidents befalling any of my fellow Filipinos is simply contrary
to my character. I condemn the person or persons behind these malicious
acts to impute damage on my integrity and I hope that you can dig deep into
your hearts and minds to truly find the truth in all these.
Jacqueline Bermejo"
