“buti n lng am hir in dubai! maybe so many sinners bak der! so yeah deserving wat hapend (sic),

The said statement generated more than 1,000 responses from Filipino Facebook users.

That controversial statement was allegedly made by a Filipina ("Jacqueline Bermejo" )overseas worker in Dubai that mocked Filipino victims of tropical storm Ondoy sparked negative reactions among many Pinoys here and abroad.

Now to clear here name she made a statement to ABC-CBN TFC Middle East News and also send to Facebook user posted Bermejo’s alleged official statement dated September 29, 2009 in the hopes of clearing her name.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM JACQUE BERMEJO - PLEASE PASS THIS Share

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.

Dubai Metro Opening Announced


Motorists can now see the shell-shaped structures getting final touches along Shaikh Zayed Road leading up the opening of the Metro on September 9, 2009 as RTA announced.

More than (10,000) workers supervised by more than (500) engineers are engaged in constructing Dubai Metro system; which will be fully integrated with public transport network in Dubai operated by the RTA. When completed, Dubai metro network will be the longest automated driverless metro system worldwide, and the first of its kind in the Middle East. This giant project has been undertaken after Dubai realized the important role of the metro in alleviating the intensity of the aggravating traffic bottlenecks, and improving accessibility to several giant property development projects in the emirate of Dubai.
