I Am A Victim Of Local Racism at ESS Manufacturing Company, Inc. a.k.a. EMCI or E.M.C.I.

Fernansoriasis? Jul 1, '08 7:16 PM I wrote this Blog to make a warning and a statement. Somebody is posing as Fernan Soria and he wrote a certain write up posted at this website: http://robstroy.com/bisaya/?p=9#comments I will like to make a clear denial that The guy who posted the June 17th comment in this site is NOT Fernan Soria. And that same guy even made a FAKE multiply account http://fernansoriasis.multiply.com in order to make a PARODY of http://fernan45.multiply.com. Very clever these people nowadays… This is a fervent Warning to all netizens online as well as to anyone who have encountered the FALSE and MALICIOUS post on http://robstroy.com/bisaya/?p=9#comments and the FAKE multiply account http://fernansoriasis.multiply.com. These people are already rich. Why should they waste their time on me? Instead they should strive to weed out the corrupt officers who are responsible for the local racism that I am striving to voice out into the public. As always, Fernan Soria P.S. This is the only Multiply Account that I used. Anyone blogging and posing as Fernan Soria on a different Multiply Account is definitely an Impostor. Muchas gracias atodos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings. I'm a job seeker from Zamboanga City. I am a graduate of Western Mindanao State University where I finished my Bachelor of Laws. I applied in this company so-called ESS Manufacturing Company, Inc. which holds its offices at the 41st, 42nd and 23rd floor of PBCOM Tower, Ayala Avenue, Makati, for the position of Legal researcher/legal indexer. They called me to take their written exam. The next day they called me and they told me that I passed the written exam. Furthermore I have to pass their assessment (I don't have any idea on what's their procedure on this). Later they call me and told me that I passed and I was invited for an interview. On the day of the interview, I was asked by this interviewer: Where did I took my Bachelor of Laws? I told her: from Western Mindanao State University. She replied: Pardon again? I repeated my answer. Then she blurted: Oh Mindanaooo... As if there's an expression of awe and surprise. I felt a bit insulted because I sense a negative connotation from the tone of her voice. And they say that they would call within a week if ever they will decide to hire me. I know that it is management prerogative to select and hire whom they want to be employed in the company. But as an applicant, we also have a right to be respected. Of our being human, because we have feelings, too. Emotions. We get hurt. We're not automatons or machines. Also, as an emphasis, we have the right to be respected of our roots. I wrote this letter as a full-blown protest because it is clear that I was not hired because of the word MINDANAO in my resume. And as always, I will not be ashamed to be called a MINDANAOAN! I am a MINDANAOAN! and I will always be a MINDANAOAN! People might say that I am overreacting and experiencing some sort of paranoia. No, I'm just offended by the way that certain intelligent interviewer uttered the word MINDANAO. As if there's an air of derision and disgust. As if such word MINDANAO will put my application into damnation. Into one of their shredding machines or trash cans. If they are smart enough, they should have noticed the word MINDANAO in my resume before I was called to take their written exam. Also, why did I passed their assessment? I don't have any clue to how they do it. And later they would dumped my application because of the word MINDANAO. They should have had saved me from the expense of going back and forth from my residence in Ermita, Manila and to their place. I should not be experiencing asthmatic attacks right now brought by the stress of traveling and city pollution. This goes to show that these Corporate Indios don't really know how to read. I used the word Indios on these Pathetics because I have Spanish/Mexican blood running in my veins. And I speak a Creole Spanish language called Chavacano. Now, that's throwing their trying hard Racist attitude back at them. Also, I wrote this letter to warn other Mindanaoans that these trying hard Racist exists. And we as MINDANAOANS should stand up and fight for what we believe is right. After passing all the requirements, tests, exams, assesments, etc. whatever, then Dumping your application in the end because you're a MINDANAOAN is tantamount to Economic Abuse, as defined by law and construed in a liberal and broader context. This local racism phenomenon must be stopped! I am also writing this on behalf of everyone who has experienced the same. Thank you very much God bless us all!

Under A Glass Moon

Dream Theater never fails to impressed me. Crisp production. The guitar distortion is "tamang tama ang timpla" as one Tagalog chap would say. The staccato drumming (sometimes double bass if such brutality is required) needs no more introduction.... more
