Donnalyn Bartolome’s FB post (published as is) reads: “Bakit may sad dahil back to work na? Diba dapat masaya ka kasi may chance ka na pagandahin buhay mo at ng pamilya?

“Trip ko pa nga may work ng January 1 dahil superstition ko may work ako buong taon pag ganun.

“Dapat grateful kasi may work. If work makes you unhappy, I hope you find a job that will. Yung pakikiligin ka and sheet.

“Anyway, this is just a reminder that having a job is a blessing bessss change mindset, it’s 2023!! [heart emoji].”

Because of Donnalyn Bartolome’s viral statement, many netizens were disappointed and others called the vlogger “inconsiderate,” “insensitive,” and a spreader of “toxic positivity.”

Kuya Kim Atienza was one of those who gave a reaction. He shared Donnalyn’s post on Facebook, and in his caption shared his sentiment.

According to the 24 Oras trivia master, everyone has different blessings received in life. Others may say they have a job but they are not happy with it, so they feel sad to go back to work.

Kuya Kim Atienza also clarified that his post was not intended to defame or put down the vlogger-singer. He said this is the only reality he sees that ordinary workers go through.

“To do something you enjoy and get paid for it is a blessing. Some are not blessed this way despite the fact that they try so hard to find work they enjoy. They are blessed differently naman. A good wife? Beautiful kids? Good health? Iba iba ang blessings. Ibat iba din ang diskarte sa ibat ibang break sa buhay. Just my 2 centavos. Back to you guys,” he wrote.
