Amid calls for public apology: Ex-Miss Universe will not apologize

[Sandamukal]

---

I wonder why the bisaya keeps on quoting this:

"a Cebuana can hardly speak English and of course Tagalog"

where in fact this is what she said:

“Kasi when you think about a Cebuana can hardly speak English and of course Tagalog. Maybe she should answer in Bisaya.”

mga bogo jud mo?

Gloria Diaz, nag-sorry na sa mga Cebuano


Matapos ang pag-ban sa kaniya sa Cebu at pagdeklarang persona-non-grata, humingi na rin ng paumanhin ang dating Miss Universe at aktres na si Gloria Diaz.
Ayon kay Diaz, humihingi siya ng paumanhin kung hindi man niya naipaliwanag ng maaga ang isyu.
Subalit nanindigan ang aktres na walang mali sa kaniyang mga naging pahayag.
Napag-alaman na umalma ang mga Cebuanos dahil sa paghalimbawa umano sa kanila ng dating beauty queen na hirap magsalita ng Ingles, sa isyu na kailangang may interpreter ang mga Pinay sa international beauty pageants.
Paliwanag ng aktres, namisinterpret lamang ang kaniyang sinabi. Hindi lang umano alam ng mga Cebuanos na edited ang ipinalabas na mga sinabi niya dahil napakahaba ng interview.

Nice read. Thanks for sharing.

I love these parts of the article.

For her to say that “a Cebuana can hardly speak English” has its forgivable and unforgivable sides. For someone like her whose acquaintance with the Cebuanas is apparently sourced from junk soap operas or sick sitcoms, or from underpaid Cebuanas who labored so hard to serve as uniformed nannies and househelps in Manila, I would dismiss her statement as product of ignorance – and that is forgivable.

The unforgivable side to it is that, it demeans our system
of education in Cebu alluding to the notion that our colleges and universities only produce mediocre Cebuanas who barely know English in their four years of academic labor. Incidentally, however, seven of the ten top notchers in the most recent nursing examination came from Cebu all without the aid of interpreters in an all-English conducted test.

And to Miss Gloria Diaz, you did not only lose the admiration and trust of the Cebuanos, you’ve just lost your self-respect from them. The Cebuanos will be more at peace to think that it is better to lose in every Miss Universe pageant than to have won it by someone like you.

og unsa man kuno ang difference atong duha? kadakong pareha ra ato!

It’s actually Gloria Diaz who needs an interpreter in the first place, because of her poor diction in English. Had she been properly trained in grammar, she wouldn’t have caught herself in trouble now. Her failure to use pronoun “who” to represent antecedent “Cebuana” is an indication that she doesn’t have the right to single out a Cebuana for lack of English proficiency. With “who” between “Cebuana” and “can” her statement would’ve sounded more acceptable, for she might have just wanted to say an example.
