Malu Fernandez and the MST publication is maybe making a buzz to get more attention.

[...] as early as now, I’d like to nominate Malu Fernandez as the 2008 Master Link Baiter. Let’s see how much links and pageviews MST will draw in after [...]

well a lot of pinoys out there got ’suckered’ by the ‘apology’ this mf was said to have made. interesting to note: an apology after a defense of what she did? looks like there is definitely something fishy going on.

well maybe the mst staff/owners likes to sit with a ticking time bomb in their midst. whatever the reason for the ‘comeback’, it was a very good show, perfect for a pinoy telenovela. storyline – write something nasty, dont apologize and insult the critic then apologize then take a vacation then back to normal. probably good for 600 episodes

regardless of what reason there is,…. the apology that was given said she would resign…

first she makes a sarcastic apology, then now backtracks on her word, …doesn’t she have delicedeza? this proves she did not grew up with a good family.. her action lacks breeding…

I just had to comment again after I remembered that Digg.com submission wherein this guy claims that his former female roommate stole his digital camera. http://digg.com/tech_news/Woman_harassed_via_Digg_com_post

People from all over the world harassed this woman even from as far as Ireland. I’m glad there aren’t so much crazy people in the Philippines or Divalicious’ article would’ve been her last. **HINT** **HINT**

Divalicious all right. She could use one of those treatments Marie France is offering. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter whether it was some publicity stunt. This will really turn out in two areas here and abroad.

1) No one will purchase Manila Standard because of people like her. It is no wonder Manila Standard isn’t up there with the Philippine Daily Inquirer or Philippine Star. If they keep on having people like her around writing columns, the Manila Standard will remain at the bottom of the ranks when it comes to Philippine newspapers.

2) Everywhere this ***hole goes she’ll get lambasted. She’d dare not step anywhere in the Middle East where Filipino presence is by far and wide, large.

Unforunately the old skool media like the Manila Standard does not understand how the new media works. The negative PR generated on the internet will not be erased EVER. Even Google will cache all those pages in blogs ever written about her article.

[...] When I watched the replay of ANC’s Media in Focus regarding the reactions to the Malu Fernandez controversy (you can watch it here, courtesy of Ria Jose), they showed a statement from Manila Standard Today which stated that the editors of the said paper have not accepted Malu Fernandez’s resignation. A few days before that, a stub on the opinion page of the paper showed that her column will be back on Monday, September 3. [...]

I think number 4 would be the reason. I watched Media in Focus yesterday. Cheche invited bloggers and print media personalities. Manila Standard Today declined the resignation of Fernandez. I forgot the reason they gave.

Oh, and one more thing:

Reason #4: Malu Fernandez is a drama queen, that in order for her to get attention from anyone, she has to create a racket by insulting OFWs and bloggers. when she gets the attention she craves, she resigns to further achieve notoriety.

MST’s decision to retain her reflects that way the paper and the writer would sink to ever so much lower levels to gain attention from the PDI, BusinessWorld, Manila Bulleting, and [INSERT NAME OF BETTER-KNOWN PAPERS HERE]-reading public.

MST management is either desperate or they really love Pugnacious…I mean, divalicious

if this is a publicity stunt, it sure worked! the increased traffic surely translated to money for everyone behind Malu. i guess you can say they all got what they wanted.

A simple response from the newspaper would’ve mollified the people. But they choose to remain silent, apart from columnists Austero and Veneracion. Maybe they think this will all blow over soon and everyone will forget about it. Kasi nga naman ang Pinoy daw madaling makalimot. But this media unfolds in real-time, available for all and sundry to read 24/7 non-stop…in theory, until kingdom come. Or until US servers are nuked. That is the difference between old media – newspapers and TV spots. The messages they give are fleeting, once delivered they are gone. But our blogs? They deliver the message and the message is there to stay ’til we decide to close shop. Ah well. Sagutin ang hamon ng Manila Standard Today.

We can’t rely on a random Geocities page. If she resigned indeed, I think they would publish it on the paper.

The number 4 reason is an insult to the Filipino public. I really hope people aren’t this stupid. People who think that the public are stupider than they are are usually very stupid people, or sociopaths.
