Venus Raj
SA halip na hangaan at palakpakan dahil sa kanyang katapangan at pagpapakatotoo, may ilang netizens pang nambastos at nanlait sa dating beauty queen na si Venus Raj.
Maraming humanga at nagpadala ng positibong mensahe para kay Miss Universe 2010 fourth runner-up matapos ang panayam sa kanya ni Toni Gonzaga na mapapanood sa vlog nito sa YouTube.
Pero may mga netizens din na nang-okray at nam-bash sa dalaga lalo na nang aminin na niya ang tungkol sa “major, major mistake” na nagawa niya noong nagdadala pa lamang siya.
Partikular na nga rito ang inamin ng beauty queen-host na 16 years old pa lamang ay nakipagrelasyon na siya sa isang lalaking mas matanda sa kanya ng mahigit 10 taon.
Aniya pa, para patunayan daw na totoong mahal niya ang guy, pumayag siyang ibigay dito ang “regalong” maaaring ialay ng isang babae sa partner niya.
“I was introduced to things that I shouldn’t be introduced to. First sexual experience and I thought, siguro ganito talaga.
“Ito siguro yung love kasi usually, ganoon naman, e. Dapat binibigay mo iyong sarili mo nang buung-buo sa tao. It ended after two years or one year and a half kasi he got another lady pregnant.
“At that time, hindi ko alam that there was a void. I know now, I can name that as a void when I was younger pero noong nandoon ako, hindi ko naman alam na it was called like a void, na may kulang. Parang pakiramdam ko lang, gusto kong may kasama sa buhay,” ang pahayag ni Venus Raj.
Sa bago nga niyang IG post, inamin ng dalaga na na-hurt at na-offend siya sa pamba-bash na tinatanggap niya mula sa ilang netizens.
“It stings! (sad emoji). It’s sad to see how others see a half-filled glass as half-empty. I guess perspective matters.
“To all the women out there, I remain true to the message that I shared in @tonitalks. I’d like to encourage you of it again:
“1. Your past does not define you.
“2. Your future is ahead of you, not behind you.
“3. No matter how filthy you have been, when you run to God, He embraces you, forgives you, and gives you a new life, and a new identity in Him.
“4. He loves you despite the cracks.”
Ayon pa kay Venus, hindi madaling humarap at aminin sa publiko ang “major, major mistake” na nagawa niya sa buhay ngunit aniya mas tumindi at lumalim pa ang pananampalataya niya kay Lord.
“Don’t let people brand you of someone you’re not. Don’t be afraid to share your story.
“My life is a testimony of second chances, forgiveness, and grace. A broken vessel fixed by the Master Potter.
“It took a lot to muster my courage to share this to you. My main reason is to glorify the One I serve.
“I guess I have fulfilled that purpose,” sabi pa ni Venus gamit ang hashtag “#JesusBeGlorified.”
Sa ngayon abala ang dalaga sa pagiging community volunteer at youth advocate at sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa Christian missionaries. Natapos na rin niya ang Oxford Center for Christian Apologetics sa Oxford, England.
