@Prudence- well she resigned and there’s nothing more that can be done to change that fact. However, that shouldn’t stop her from writing in other publications. It’s her choice to write in People Asia if the editors will accept her back.

@noemi: But if the news about her resignation is true, then isn’t it because of what the bloggers and the groups of OFWs did that forced her to do that? I don’t think we really have the right to ask for her resignation. To show much dismay, in the most decent and civil way possible, would be more like it.

I think it would be better if we still see her write for the same magazine, so we would know if she’s really sincere in her apology.

@dexie-forgiveness will just follow . Maybe Malu will redeem herself one day. And all will be forgotten.

@AJ-Justice will run its course.

@reynaelena- you listed a number of lessons we learned from this fiasco

@Prudence- for the issue to be spread around the bloggers, one needed to make a stand. The only firm action I saw was Nick’s tingog.com. If you had started the stand, maybe we would not have clamored for the resignation/firing. She will learn a lot from this experince and I don’t think she will stop writing . Maybe she can even blog.

Actually, I do not want Malu Fernandez to resign from the magazine writing staff. I’d rather that she stayed, issued an apology if she wanted or a statement saying that she stands by what she said and why she said them. I don’t think we have the right to make her stop writing just because we don’t like what she said. But we do all have the right to show her how dismayed we are with what she wrote.

I really don’t see the need to “forgive”. She apologized in her own way. She resigned. Good, done and over with. Maybe the OFW she very much insulted will “forgive” her. I dunno. I just have a different notion on the word “forgive” that I can’t seem to explain on this comment. Kinda like an annoying flea. Forgive is not the word I would associate as a closure on this matter. It’s just done. There you go. WTG bloggers.

@jeric- It is time to move on. If her apology is sincere and she is remorseful, I am sure people will forgive her. So far, she hasn’t apologized in public.
