Tracy Isabel Borres is fast becoming the new Pablo Banila (and heck, this isn’t even aparody), not with the use of bots to view social networking profiles but with sharing of her painstaking immersion experience with the Aetas.

Tracy Isabel Borres is student of Ateneo de Manila University. I’m guessing the immersion in the Aeta community was aimed at giving their students valuable life lessons and realizations, but the immersion became an opportunity for the blogosphere to realize that a kikay and conio college student can be so disappointing. This blog pities Ateneo, the top university in the Philippines for having her as a student.

The girl shared her experience to her friends thru the social networking website, Facebook. Apprently, one of her friends didn’t liked what she blogged so the entries were emailed, linked out to the internet.

You can read Tracy Isabel Borres’ immersion experience. These facebook images were taken by Reyna Elena.

Mike Abundo researched the identity of this girl. He posted this picture, I wonder what she’ll do if she learns that  beach’s water one way or another came from the hills of the Aetas.

Tracy Isabel Borres immediately closed down her multiply account with the following journal entry:

Due to recent, puke-worthy events, I have decided to erase this Multiply account.

Please stay tuned for a revival, with ultra-strict friends-only conditions. And no photos.

But after four days, the girl changed plans:

I thought about my recent decision to erase my Multiply account and decided to reconsider. I’ve gone through the tedious work of locking all my (relevant) albums and I am hoping that the info-leakage will finally stop.

I am also overhauling my Friends List and erasing anyone I do not really personally know, i.e. those of you whom I do not know and have requested for access to my photos will simply not be allowed to. Go figure.

Cancelling my multiply account would have been a disaster. There are so many important memories in this little corner of the WWW, and I cannot bear to erase all my blog entries. It’s not even about the pictures. It would have just been sad.

Anyway. Happy state of things recovered.






Borres' latest reply regarding the issue..

" Yes I am fully aware of the gravity and extent of what is happening right now, but thank you still. =))

 

Someone stole it from my CONTACTS only account. Sigh sigh. Thing is i know how rude and offensive it sounded but that was because I was expecting it to be read by my friends only who understood a kind of dark quirky humor of mine that really would make other people mad. It was a post meant to be comical for my friends to laugh at… (exaggerated rudeness and ditzyness, although still not with some truth to it of course, i am not excusing my insensitive usage of words but hey! Its funny WITH/FOR  my friends!) then of course it leaked. Sigh sigh.

 

I am just waiting for this to blow over (as typical ‘internet sensations’ usually do), because seriously. People, focus on real issues not on some spoiled sheltered girl. Haha.

 

if anything, i would rather you forward my reply to the email. =)

 

i mean really. there are some many ppl out there who are just so ready and willing to jump at every and any opportunity to add insult to injury bec it will be inconsequential to them anyway without knowing the premises or without any sense of discernment whatsoever. i mean betrayal for leaking my entry by someone i knew was bad enough right? So now its like i cracked a yo momma joke and everyone thinks I want to kill their momma! hahaha oh sigh sigh.

 

again, thank you for your concern. =) "

  3. grabe naman ito. okay magreklamo pero not to the extent of using vulgar words to pronounce distaste lalong lalo na dinirect nya yung insults nya to a particular group of indigenous people na highly respected and cultivated by our govermnment.


    if rich ka, expected na classy ka, dapat atleast naturuan ka ng culture. but this girl right here has shown anything but classy attitude. gah close minded people FTW XD

  4. I already saw this like a few weeks ago and up to now I still feel pity.

    With that kind of attitude, she'll never get to see the rest of the world. It's a shame.

  16. oops, late reply to. pero it was still sweet that she calls her sister in the aeta family that she lived in "my sister" and the father and the mother of the family "nanay and tatay" right? oh well everything's resolved now, i guess.

  17. haha! dont be so hasty in judging her guys... we all have a bit of "like her" in us... its just that she was too naive to to not keep her mouth shut

    ReplyDelete
  18. shes hot...pang kama lang ang babaeng ito...

  19. I know this comment is waaaaaay too late, but I also read her blog entry in the news paper. quite a scandal. she even insulted St. Ignatius. that is so un-Atenean. This makes me bow my head in embarrassment. she totally put Ateneo in the bad light. It affects everyone in the Ateneo community. and people will still continue to describe us as "maarte", "mayabang" and the likes. :(
