Hi everyone! Thanks for all the comments in the previous post. I’ll be replying to all your comments when I find the time. Yes, ALL of your comments. There’s a nagging feeling when you don’t get to reply to your commentators. Hehehe. Try ko saturday night.
Some have said that the best response to the nasty comment was to ignore it as it doesn’t deserve the attention. Buuut, obviously I took the bait, and retaliated with the post.
Well, I could not help it. A few months back Mom was always complaining about anonymous commentators leaving remarks about her pseudonym. The same message: stop using Sexy Mom. We just ignored the comments. Hehe. Wala namang masamang nagagawa. Mark as spam lang, tapos wala na.
But, when the comments finally landed on me and my brothers’ blogs (post scripted with a threat to our family), I felt that we have ignored the issue for too long. So thus, the entry was written.
Some of you might see the viral nature of this as a plea to increase traffic in both our blogs. Well, I don’t need the additional traffic. I am already content with the traffic I’m receiving, and I would not pull such a stunt just to boost my blog rankings. My Mom even, as she’s the number 1 search result when you google for “sexy filipina mom.” Hehehe.
Moving on… I am very very glad that this negative issue has spurred an advocacy for reshaping the online and sexy Filipina image.
Noemi Dado of aboutmyrecovery.com recalled of an old SEO campaign on “taking back the keywords” that refer to Filipinas and the Philippines. She then wrote about How to Reshape the Sexy Filipina Image, sharing how we could bring Filipina and sexy back. (I couldn’t resist, I just had to write that. Hehehe).
Let’s face it. Try typing “pinay” or “filipina” in Google, let’s see what you get. :p What more when we add the adjective “sexy?” Ironic that Google ads on some blogs, even when the blogger writes patriotically about Filipinas, get ads like the ones listed on the Google search results.
Tita Maia Jose of Cafe Romanza has followed suit, saying “Sexy Filipinas - Including
Sexy Filipina Moms - Stand up and Be Counted.” She asks us to
put in those keywords in our blogs: filipina, filipinas, philippine women, philipina, pilipina, pinay, babae, filipino women, filipino woman.
So this finally brings me to the title of this entry. Posting a comment is not enough! Blog about it!
I’m inviting you all to do as what Tita Noemi and Tita Maia asks us to: blog about the Filipina, the Filipina Sexy Mom, the Filipina Sexy Woman.
While leaving a comment is helpful, blogging about it is MEGA-HELPFUL! So… Google bombs galore!
It’s about time that the online sexy Filipina image is, not changed, but taken back. :)
