RR Enriquez Reacts to the Issue of Jude Bacalso
RR ENRIQUEZ – The former Wowowee dancer commented on the recent viral incident involving LGBT writer Jude Bacalso and a waiter. Bacalso had become a topic of discussion on social media after she delivered a two-hour lecture to a waiter who called her “sir,” aiming to educate him about gender sensitivity and pronouns.
RR expressed that Bacalso’s actions were unnecessary and criticized her for making the waiter stand for the entire duration of the lecture. She pointed out that while the conversation might have been peaceful from Bacalso’s perspective, it was still inappropriate to keep the waiter standing.
“There are always two sides to every story. It may have been a peaceful conversation for you and the waiter and you didn’t insist on making him stand while talking to him. But since you are the one who initiate na ilecture sya, you cannot blame people to think how rude you are,” said RR.
While RR appreciated Bacalso’s willingness to admit her mistakes and publicly apologize, she questioned the need to educate someone about pronouns, which are typically taught in grade school. She emphasized that people generally understand that “he” is for men and “she” is for women.
“Although I get you, very offending naman kasi talaga na despite of you wearing a make up and dressed like a woman tapos tawagin ka pa din na Sir. But for someone na mas nakaka angat ng konti sa buhay why not just correct him right away and say call me Ma’am na lang Kuya. I prefer Ma’am instead of Sir,’” she added.
RR concluded that the incident should serve as a lesson for Bacalso to be humble and treat others better. RR’s post received mixed reactions from netizens, highlighting the diverse opinions on the matter. Some supported RR’s perspective, while others believed that Bacalso’s intentions were justified despite the execution being problematic.
