In a series of new posts on FB, Donnalyn Bartolome said her remarks “could have been phrased better,” and that they failed to express what she wanted to say.
The 28-year-old Youtuber made it clear that the positivity in her message came not from privilege but from her own experiences. She said, “Naranasan kong wala nang trabaho kaya siguro sobra ko pahalagahan… naranasan ko magcommute sa Bus, MRT, Jeep, FX, Tricycle… ‘yung pila, siksikan, init… alam ko talaga.”
Donnalyn Bartolome said that her granddad was a janitor and that her upbringing is the reason for her mindset. She added that her struggles had gotten so bad that she had to pray on her knees to God for help just to have food for the next day as well as money for her tuition and home expenses.
She acknowledged that she used the incorrect words, though.
“I’m only sharing these experiences in hopes to show sincerity of me admitting that error and not just to save face, kasi like all of you may pinagdaanan din ako so last thing I’d want to do is hurt any of you,” she said. “Madali mag-sorry pero how do you know the person really meant no harm? ‘Pag nakilala mo siyang konti. That is the purpose of this post,” she wrote.
