Not only Filipinos across the world are united against the racist comments of this self-proclaimed educated girl named Devina DeDiva to Miss World winner Megan Young, and to the race she represented at the recently concluded Miss World 2013 in Bali, Indonesia.
If you read her comments, you'll notice that even her friends didn't agree with what she said. Other nationalities as well like the man on the photo cannot contain his disappointment about her comments.
Here's a letter from British national Mr. Malcom Conlan (left) to Devina Dediva (right).
Dear Ma'am
Please look around you and wake up. Who do you see working in hospitals in your country as nurses, health care assistants, pilots, drivers, working in banks, customer service, restaurants, shops etc? Filipino's.
Exactly the same kind of jobs that everyone is employed in, oh and yes even in houses as house helpers and nannies. Yes Filipino's. The Philippines has always been a big exporter of labour overseas and what's wrong with that?
Filipinos work in all kinds of industries, I can say one thing, they all want to work hard to support their families and do not enjoy claiming benefits or help from the Government. They do the noble thing and work very for a living, contributing to taxes and the Economy. I hate the word 'maid' it's old fashioned and not necessary, but actually 'maid' as you call it, yes many filipino's do work as domestic helpers in the Middle East as well as across the world, they do so to help their families and their country.
They should all be very proud. I am married to a Filipina and we have two wonderful children who are also Filipino. I am honoured and consider myself very privileged indeed to be part of a British/Filipino family.
Finally don't know what your issue is with the winner of Miss World is?
Megan Young is Filipino, she is also very proud, as I am sure many millions of Filipino's are across the entire world, so before you really do upset many millions, please think very carefully and apologise. Thanks so much.
