Esquire
Magazine is in the midst of scandal at this moment, not because one of their
staffs released a new photo of their model like what happened to Ellen Adarna.
The management of the magazine is in the hot seat because they featured DILG
Sec. Mar Roxas as their cover regarding to the story of Tacloban which was
devastated by typhoon Yolanda in November 2013.
The
netizens became angry to the management of Esquire; they believe that Mar Roxas
is not the appropriate person to be linked with Yolanda victims. For them,
people from Tacloban didn’t feel their concern. It seems that the government
already forgot about their tough condition. Until now, they are suffering from
evacuation center and bank houses. After one year, when typhoon Yolanda hit their
town, there is no development about their lives. They are only to hoping by the
help of NGO, while the government doing nothing except making promises.
Recently,
the Yolanda reached its first year anniversary, but President Aquino and Mar
Roxas didn’t visit Tacloban, instead they went to Leyte. If we remember, Mar
Roxas and the mayor of Tacloban had disagreement regarding how to handle the
calamity. The government said that visited in Leyte because it was the town
strike first by Yolanda and it has no relation to their disagreement to the
mayor of Tacloban.
If the
netizens praised the Eraser Heads cover of Esquire Magazine where the group
posing likes Beatles in the Abbey Road in London, now, they are disgusting to
the cover of their latest issue. They said that maybe the magazine has positive
stories about Tacloban, but sorry to say that they are not in favor to Mar
Roxas to become a face of their town because he don’t made an effort to help
them. Even Toclabanon gave their reaction, according to them, they felt
insulted by Esquire. Both the netizens and Taclobanon gave their big BOO to
Esquire Magazine!
