a tale of two hens

Well, not exactly. As I meant newshens.

This week ladies in media stole some news space and ended up producing two different repercussions for themselves. Earlier, Gretchen Malalad, the martial arts expert cum Pinoy Big Brother housemate cum ABSCBN police beat reporter found herself in a melee with roguish basketball stalwart Bong Alvarez. Well the professional player after an early morning scuffle with a taxi driver just had to pick another fight this time with Gretchen who was just wanting news details. Well what’s a lady karateka got to do with this scum bag. Now, the lady reporter may have gotten some news reporting chops on her sleeves.

Then came society reporter Malu Fernandez who just had to report on Manila Standard and People Asia Magazine how she disdained OFWs reeking with AXE cologne and Charlie. (I know what AXE can do for men, but does Charlie still exist?) Oh yes, the OFW bloggers won’t take this down and just had to push her bottom out of her cushy seat from these periodicals. Now the lady journalist had to make amends by writing a mea culpa and offering resignation from the publications as of yesterday. Hooray for the OFWs whose sweat may just be as sweet to a stinking financially strapped Philippines.
