SAW AN article on the net about five celebrities who love their Hermes in different styles and colors. Based on the video that we saw after the article, lumalabas na si Gretchen Barretto ang may pinakamaraming Hermes bags (10) followed by Kris Aquino (6), Heart Evangelista (5), Kim Chiu (3), and Jinky Pacquiao (3). Someone reacted and posted Jinky’s Hermes collection photo which amounted to 22.
Nagtaka lang kami, bakit wala sa list si Mrs. Dantes, eh, super rampa siya ng kanyang Hermes bag tuwing meron siyang pupuntahan. Marami-rami rin naman ang kanyang collection, ah.
Anyway, that’s not the story. Since the article came out sa official Facebook account ni Kris, may mga anti-Kris arias like this guy, Earl Christian Joaquin who said, “Instead of praising her, we should be condemning her for supporting the business of animal torture and slaughter. Do you all have any idea how they make a Birkin bag? Do yourselves a favor and do some reading: “Exposed: Crocodiles and Alligators Factory-Farmed for Hermès ‘Luxury’ Goods.”
Nagpahabol pa siya ng comment and said, “Now, I’m not saying she’s a terrible person or anything – all I’m saying is that she shouldn’t be praised just for having expensive bags (especially ones with such cruel slaughter practices) it is just so incredibly shallow of us as a society. The Philippines is also predominantly a catholic country and the bible condemns materialism and greed. Just think about it.”
“Bakit wala bang karapatan c mss Kris para bumili Ng gusto nya..? Dahil kailangan nyang ibigay Ang pera sa mahirap.! Kung Ang Wala ngang pera nag ipon para makabili ng bag kahit ukay ukay lang masabi lang branded hehe..! Hindi Naman pwede puro tulong nalang gagawin ni miss kris bigyan din nya kaligayahan Ang sarili.! Kc ganito un Pag may gusto kang bilihin at nabili mo un maligayang maligaya kana..! Ang tulong may nakalaan din yan syempre Iba Ang tulong iba nanan din pang sarili ano….!” came the defense of Margafrida Paslim Ibar, a fan of Kris.
Go watch the said video and see how alligators experience excruciating pain kapag pinapatay sila para lang makuha ang balat nila at gawing luxury item for Hermes.
