Coming from Manila Standard news sources itself, it’s true: The Divalicious will resume publication this Monday. An insider said: “while Malu Fernandez indeed has submitted her resignation, her resignation has not been accepted by higher management, hence we will continue publishing her column.”
It’s a free country after all. And since this is a free country, please be informed that Divatrocious and the pictures therein is a trademark of annalyn.net. You may use the the term freely under copyleft principles, or at least under Ms. Fernandez repents and realizes fully that she’s not being Divalicious (noooh! not at all) in being the mahaderang matapobre to OFWs.
Stumble It!
Ajay, yours is the only confirmation with a source other than the actual paper itself.
If this is true then I feel sorry for Manila Standard Today.
But there’s an argument. If Malu was really sincere, then she should just quit. No IFS ANDS or BUTS.
People Asia has already issued a proper statement, and has severed ties with Malu. For the life of me, why Manila Standard Today is choosing to keep silent, and why it has not accepted her resignation yet only speaks of their irresponsibility.
With that said, my follow-up article on this issue will be posted as scheduled.
Thank you for corroborating this information.
So it is true that she’s coming back, eh? Hmm… Let us see what will happen this coming Monday.
@Nick, i agree. Manila Standard Today chooses to be arrogant about this issue. To think that they will be the one who will experience the whole wrath of the consequences.
[...] Confirmed: Annalyn Jusay from Annalyn.net had confirmation from Manila Standard news sources itself about the said issue. “While Malu Fernandez indeed has submitted her resignation, her resignation has not been accepted by higher management, hence we will continue publishing her column.†[source] Update (August29): The people at Freedom Watch has also started their investigation about the said issue. It seems that their speculation is the same as mine. They even have pictures of the actual newspaper dated August 27, 2007. Check it out here! I was busy copying answers for my take-home exam in Numericals early this afternoon when I received a twitter message on my mobile phone that came from Benj of Atheista.net telling everyone about an interesting and surprising twist on an already-dead issue.

this is horrible! she is horrible. period.
she better hope karma doesn’t bite her on the ass!
There will be a time that she will be DEVILICIOUS….. I think… after being ROASTED… shes better to be a crispy LECHON… HARHARHAR
So, babalik pala sya. Abangan kung ano ang susulatin nya sa Monday.
Indeed, the Philippines is a “free” country and the publisher of Manila SATANdard are free to do what they want.
This is a good test for bloggers and the online community in shaping public opinion and exposing bogus journalism and bogus liepapers….. I say bring it on, baby.

[...] (Via Annalyn.net) Tonight at 6:00 PM, Benj with other bloggers and journalists and possibly Malu Fernandez will appear in Media In Focus at the ABS-CBN News Channel Studios. I talked to Anton de Leon , a fellow blogger based in Dubai and he admits that: The reactions from people from all over the globe have been going strong. To this day, i have had reactions come from bloggers and readers who speak vehemently of Miss Malu and the acerbic wit she has pushed. It really has become an angry mob, but who is to blame here. Aside from Malu, i think part of it should be shifted to the people who allowed the commentary to be published. This is why, in this circle of work that i revolve in. we have these things called editors. Editors are supposed to make the call and check for content. [...]
So she’s back, eh? Shame, shame.
I think this is what you’d call “editorial management prerogative” folks.” I do believe though that people have a right to change (in the same way that Jesus redeemed us sinners and brought us to salvation
) The quality of her writing is a given (not outstanding at all) but I’d be curious to know whether the tone/tenor of her writing will change as a result of the incident.
By golly wow! why sould she be allowed to return? hay naku, siguro kasi porque she’s rihch and fat and all that crapp.
ayayay!
[...] not the end for Malu Fernandez Jump to Comments From Annalyn.net and Tingog.com, Malu Fernandez will definitely be coming back Monday next week toserve us more of her ascerbic wit and tongue-in-cheek commentaries. [...]
Who is Malu ernandez ? can someone enlighten me , Ajay has my email . I look forward to a reply , lol .
Gee, first time I heard about this Malu caper here. Been out of circulation for some time. But the thing that struck me was: why did this batty, overweight, socialite insist on flying coach? Super laki ang biz class seats sa Emirates so ba’t di siya doon . Para she could have haughtily declared - a la Marie Antoinette - let them spray themselves with Charlie, for all I care. Btw, so Charlie’s still in circulation? Haven’t seen the likes of them here in Q8 for ages now. Ha - siguro sa Dubai!
Roast her like the lechon she is!

Hahaha. Maybe she ran out of credit card limit Al or some publicist sponsored her trip and can only afford economy.
Charlie is so 80s di ba? It’s still available in Revlon counters here but even my nanny wouldn’t have it, lol.
I guess the higher management thinks her controversial antics will bring in more readers…
Haha. I cracked at your last words. Mahaderang matapobre.
