MANILA — A service crew of a Japanese restaurant complained about allegedly getting fired because of Coleen Garcia and her grandmother.

Through a comment on Garcia’s Instagram post, @jejeromemalvar said:

“To ms @coleengarcia, ako po yung server n’yo nung kumain kayo sa __________. Sana po masaya na kayo sa nangyari. Wala akong ginawang masama at, unang-una sa lahat, hindi ako RUDE katulad po ng sinabi ng lola n’yo sa ‘kin. Ni minsan hindi ako nagiging rude sa mga guest ko.

(To Ms. Coleen Garcia, I was the service crew when you ate at ____. I hope that you are happy with what happened. I wasn’t doing anything wrong. First of all, I am not rude like what your lola told me. I was never rude with my guests.)

“Unang-una sa lahat, tinanggap ko yung card ng lola n’yo, ang pagkakamali ko lang eh sinunod ko ang utos ng manager ko about sa promo nung Father’s Day.

(First of all, I accepted your Lola’s card. My only mistake is that I followed my Manager’s mandate about the Father’s Day promo.)

The crew added that he is the bread winner in the family and his job was their only source of income.

“Ako lang ang tumutulong sa pamilya ko sa panggastos namin sa araw-araw at ako lang ang inaasahan nila.”

(I am the only one helping my family with their daily needs. I am the only one they rely on.)

“Pero sa ginawa n’yo, nawala lahat yun at dahil po sa complain ng lola n’yo sa ‘kin na rude ako, kahit hindi ko ginawa, natanggal ako sa trabaho. Kung mabasa n’yo man ‘to, sana po masaya na kayo sa nangyari.)

(But with what you did, everything is gone and because of your lola’s complain saying that I was rude, though I wasn’t, I was removed from my job. If you can read this, I hope that you’re already happy with what happened.)

In another post, he continued saying:

“Di ko sila bineblame pero yung complain nila sakin rude ako. Which is not true. Kahit kelan di ako nagiging rude sa loob ng 9 months ko sa ____. Never ako nagkaroon ng complain.”

(I am not blaming them but they were complaining that I was rude, which is not true. I was never rude in my 9 months of stay in _____. I never had that kind of complaint.)

“Sila ang nagsabi sa management na rude ako. Anong magagawa ko? Celebrity sila server lang ako. Kahit nagpaliwanag na ako wala na akong magagawa kahit hindi totoo paratang nila sakin, pero sa comlain na hindi ko ginagawa natanggal ako sa work.”

(They told the management that I was rude. What else can I do? They are celebrities, I am just a service crew. Even if I explain, I can do nothing anymore. Even though what they were complaining about is not true. I was fired by a complain that I never really did.)

“Alam mo siguro and obligasyon mo bilang breadwinner ng family at feeling matatanggal ka sa work na hindi mo ginawa.”

(You must know the feeling of being a breadwinner in the family and being removed from work over something you didn’t actually do.)
