A SINGLE status message on social networking site Facebook by a Filipino in Dubai on Sunday generated a mass of violent responses from her countrymen back home.

Tagged as “insensitive” by most users who got wind of her message, Jacque Bermejo posted on her wall “buti n lng am hir in Dubai! (Good thing I'm here in Dubai!) Maybe so many sinners bak der! so yeah deserving wat hapend!”

This is in the wake of Typhoon Ondoy, which left Metro Manila and neighboring provinces paralyzed by widespread flood.

Bermejo's message immediately got negative responses on her own page.

One of the messages said: “Dami pa ngang nasalanta nakuha mo pang humirit ng ganyan, trying hard mag-ingles, wala naman sa ayos. Loser. (A lot of people died and you still said something like that. Trying hard to speak English, but you can't even speak it well. Loser.)”

Her status was screen captured, which caused its fast proliferation to a wide network of Facebook users, most of whom did not know Bermejo personally.

Another message said in all capital letters: “Jacque, keep this is your tiny brain that 'YOU ARE NOT A SAINT' so you don't have the right to say that there are so many many sinners back there. Shame on you.”

After a few messages, Bermejo replied “Cuz of u don’t understand!!!!judge me sige!!!kya ala kayong asenso (that's why you haven't progressed), even nature now is making statement big time!!!”

Hate messages to Bermejo did not end in Facebook. The user's multiply site was also flooded with close to 4,000 messages on its guestbook in a matter of two hours. As of 9 a.m. Monday, it has reached about 13,600.

Most of the messages “warned” Bermejo not to return to the Philippines, among other threats.

One branded her as the “Kanye West of the Philippines.”

In the MTV Video Music Awards this month, singer/rapper West interrupted fellow singer Taylor Swift when she was making her acceptance speech on stage.

For other users, Bermejo was just “trying to get attention.”

One user also appealed for the “flooders” on Bermejo's multiply site to stop posting hate messages.

“HONESTLY TAMA NA (ENOUGH)!!! PINAPATUNAYAN LANG NATING TAMA SYA!! NA SINNERS TAYO!!! (We're just proving to her that she's right, that we are indeed sinners).

Some Facebook users, on the other hand, said the account was fake and not known by Bermejo. Another "Jackie Bermejo" exists in the social networking site which also contains the user's picture. (Justine Paredes/Sunnex)
