The Manny Pacquiao – Krista Ranillo – Jinkee Pacquiao Triangle became personal for one blogger
You’ve probably heard it on the news, watched it on The BUZZ, or whatever source of gossip you take your pleasure from. Manny Pacquiao, fresh from his historical win against Miguel Cotto is on the front pages again for an alleged affair with actor Matt Ranillo’s daughter – Krista Ranillo.
I’ve read about it and I’ve shared it with all of you because that’s what this blog is about. I find interesting gossips about celebrities and I share it with my readers.
One thing that caught my eye however was a blog that I normally read – - actually blogs — I normally read. One of the blogs I’m speaking of was created by a blogger who was one of the greats who has inspired me to start blogging, Coconuter. The other blog is a blog I visit from time to time because I always see her blog whenever I search for “Chuva” on Google. I don’t know her that well but I’ve read her posts and I remember being touched by her “Fabella” post as well. Her blog is Chuvaness – which certainly has a lot of following because her cause to raise money for”The Baby Factory” was very successful and I thought it was very nice of her to have created a post to raise money for the hospital.
I visited her blog today and found that she said something to the effect that she received about 36K hits and 16,700 unique visitors on her blog yesterday (November 16th Philippine time) and wondered how many Coconuter got.
I became curious because I’m an avid reader of Coconuter. I decided to find out why. As I read her blog, this is what I found. Chuvaness has a post entitled, “Coconuter thinks it’s okay for Manny Pacquiao to have an affair“. She took a part of the Coconuter’s post and pasted it on her blog. This is the statement:
“Until something materializes, as he said in his Cotto post-fight interview, he plans on taking a break, getting some rest, and having some fun. I guess I would assume that this would involve time with his family and also time with his reportedly new flame–Krista Ranillo. To me, I can empathize with Manny regarding this issue, and I think that as long as he takes care of his responsibilities then he should not be restricted of his liberties. I find the situation quite natural and the instinct innate in the human male. I believe that it gives Manny added inspiration, motivation, and/or pleasure in his life, which is something that we all need in life to keep going. Thus, I feel that the media should just let it be.”
After this text was a picture of Krista Ranillo. That’s all it took.
I checked out the original post by Coconuter to see whether the clipped statement was in the proper context as headlined by Chuvaness’ title. Coconuter stated his opinion as finding the alleged affair that Manny Pacquiao has with Krista Ranillo as natural and innate in the human male. He also said that he believes that it gives Manny the added inspiration… blah blah blah. Alright, I give it to her – from reading the post, that’s what Coconuter said. And that was HIS opinion on the matter. What I didn’t get was the flurry of hateful remarks left on Coconuter and Chuvaness’ post.
Here are some of the comments:
-0- Parang nagpapaliwanag ka na dito sa mga kabulastogan mo. Wag mong gamitin si Pacquiao para i voice out mo twisted mo na values (if they are values at all).
-0- ganon? parang nainis ako kay Coconuter bigla. machismo-laden lang ang statements.
-0- wow. the coconuter obviously has a screwed perception of the meaning of marriage and commitment.
-0- I just hope this person goes back to school and redirect his career to reading on making a dialectic between Kant’s deontological vs existential ethics. That is where the balance should be struck — not on his/her sensuality vs. natural (coz there’s no opposition there), which fits more like his/her excuse to his/her own unethical actions rather than a justification of Manny’s predicament.
-0- I could see why he would romanticize marital infidelity too. I think one too many coconuts fell on his head. Coconutter na siya….
-0- you know many of these bloggers…they will sell their souls to the devil just to have readers.
-0- egotistical & chauvanist. Yup, the world isn’t black or white for you — it’s majorly grey and twisted, spinning it’s way back to the dark ages where human decency was irrelevant
-0- I think we should all give this blogger a piece of our mind (parang kulang siya ng brain matter eh).
-0- Innate pala sa instinct ng “human male” not to honor a commitment to a spouse. Parang animal. Thanks for telling all of us the kind of values you have in life Mr Coconuter.
These are the milder comments. There were comments plagued with cuzz words and hurtful accusations left by readers from both blogs. I was shocked beyond belief on how he was personally attacked simply by stating his own opinion on his own blog. Parang over yata ang reaction ng mga readers.
What do you think? If I state my own opinion on my blog, do I deserve to be attacked? Let us know by answering the poll below:
