MALINAW umanong may diskriminasyon ang inireklamong ‘yaya meal’ sa Balesin Island Club.
Ayon kay Akbayan Rep. Barry Gutierrez ang paggamit pa lamang ng ‘yaya meals’ sa menu ay isa ng diskriminasyon.
“The existence of yaya meals, in fact, the very act of labeling a group of meals as such, is an appalling and offensive display of discrimination considering the income and wealth inequality that continue to grip our country,” ani Gutierrez.
Maging intensyonal umano o hindi ang paglalagay ng “yaya meal” ay nangangahulugan na hindi na pantay ang pagtingin.
“Differential treatments based on social status and other factors such as age, gender, ethnic identity and religion that keeps the less-favorable group from better opportunities and choices in life,” dagdag pa ng solon.
Inireklamo ni datig Binibining Pilipinas-World at fashion designer na si Maggie Wilson-Consunji ang “offensive” practice na ito ng Balesin , isang luxury resort sa Quezon.
Nakabinbin sa Kongreso ang panukalang anti-discrimination bill ni Gutierrez.
