CYBERSPACE: Is Jacque Bermejo the culprit or the victim? And is she alone?

This is the alleged wall post of Jacque Bermejo, an OFW in Dubai, which has summoned hundreds of negative reactions over the weekend in Facebook alone. But how genuine is this post? Is Jacque Bermejo the culprit? Or is she the victim?

In an interview with ABS-CBN in Dubai, Jacque Bermejo firmly said she did not post such message over Facebook. According to her, someone has already hacked her Facebook account two years ago and that another dummy account has been using her name, photos, and info. She has no idea who the culprit is and for what purpose is he/she doing this. In her official statement regarding this issue, the following were stated:

“Because of these incidents, I reported such abuses and sent my credentials to the administrators of such sites, particularly Facebook. I have been abused and am still being abused online in social networking websites such as Facebook, Friendster, Multiply, etc...”

“These malicious statement(s) which are posted under account names Jacque or Jackie are not of my doing. It is unfortunate that such statements were maliciously attributed to me and I do sympathize and understand the adverse and somehow verbally violent reaction that has been elicited by such insensitive statements or posts. Rest assured, I have taken every legal step that can be done in this regard.”

“I am devastated and shocked at the extent my character, my personal information and private space have been violated,” she stated.

She is reportedly staying in her sister's house, fearing of threats she has been receiving over the weekend.

The account, however, seemed very active. A screenshot below shows the user replied to the negative reactions on her wall post:

This "dummy account" of Jacque Bermejo is no longer searchable over Facebook. Some people believe the user of this account may have felt some guilt or is now in fear of threats. Others think Bermejo is guilty and her statements over the interview are pretentious, pointing out that it is very easy to deny wrongdoings.

Meanwhile, several hate groups have been created over Facebook against her, ridiculing even her photos. Click here to find out more about these groups.

But who thought only "Jacque Bermejo" could do such a thing? Some more people hunger for attention(which is what Jacque is "embracing" now). The easiest way, of course, is to invoke emotions through provoking posts like these:

It's just sad that while Filipinos are desperately crying for help and struggling to survive, these creatures are laughing out like hell and enjoying every minute these hapless beings slowly die in hunger. Still, there's nothing we can blame against them. They also deserve some pity. Although we don't know the authenticity of these posts and whether or not the names of these people are merely victims of the selfishness of others, we cannot deny that the damages have already been done.

I think it is best to just ignore these posts. Leave their laughs echo into silence. Let their spirits realize the essence of living as they drown in greed; they also need our rescue.
