MANILA — Following the growing sentiments of netizens against the club’s “yaya’s meal,” Balesin Island head clarified that the meal is served only as an option for the guests.<\/p>\n

Balesin Island Club CEO and Island Director Mike M. Asperin stressed that the “yaya’s meal” are not served unless ordered by the resort’s guests.<\/p>\n

The statement was made on the CEO’s Facebook page following the growing complaints on social media.<\/p>\n

The resort came under fire after beauty queen Maggie Wilson-Consunji complained about the meal through her Facebook account.<\/p>\n

“[T]he fact that there are people who don’t want their yayas to eat whatever they want to is beyond me. Hence the resort having to offer a ‘yaya’s meal’. I still find that offensive,” she said.<\/p>\n

Asperin however said that they have no intentions of discriminating the helpers and that they only have the meal as an option for the guests.<\/p>\n

“Any talk of discrimination is inappropriate,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
