Brazilian Model Gabriela Barros Airs Her Side on Issue with Jing Monis

Images courtesy of Facebook: Jing Monis and Gabe Barros

Hi guys,

Gabe Barros here, "the bitch with the bad attitude" mentioned by Jing. Well, I'm here to tell my side of the situation. I came to [the] Philippines just and only to visit my friend and make some pictures, and my friend asked me if I could do this show. I said yes, why not, let’s rock it. So I went...

My hair is short, guys, and I was waiting for the time of the show, with my makeup and hair ready. Then, this guy comes in, the one which made sure to post my picture and talk bad about me, screaming to everyone, and he continues to scream so loud so everyone can hear. He was screaming at me asking me if I was really a model and what was I doing there. Of course, I was offended and embarrassed. I just replied, ‘Yes, I am a model for over 5 years,’ and then I said, ‘But why are you being so rude with me?’ He replied, ‘Do you think I’m being rude?’ Then, he started to say that he would kick me out from this country, and that I shouldn't be here.

As a human and a girl, I started to cry. As God is my witness, and the people who were there could confirm exactly what happened. I did NOTHING to offend him, did not scream at him, not at all. Even though I wanted to, I did not, even with his arrogant attitude. But who am I here to discuss with someone, when I'm just a foreign, a model, or considered by him, not even this ? So I just cried.

I would like to tell JING publicly that I am SORRY for my look or my hair, and if I had pissed you off for that. But honestly between the walls of that event and people there, He knows and also the people there know that I did nothing at all, in attitude, or words, even gesture. If crying is a sin, forgive me, but in that situation I felt so low, and humiliated that I felt like leaving this country right at that moment if I could.

Well guys, that’s the story. I'm a Brazilian model, and before working in the Philippines, I [worked] in China, Thailand, and so on, where I never ever had any circumstance like this or disrespect someone. I love your country, I love the people, and I respect you.

Wishing no more misunderstanding with Jing, or anyone, once more, if I really was mean to you, you can come and talk with me, or in front of people as you like. But talk, do not accuse [me with] something that I did NOT do at all.

Cheers, peace, and love. May God bless your country. And you don't need to deport me, as I said before I just came for a week, and I'm already leaving.

Thank you,

Gabe Barros

  1. Sa attitude pa lang nung jing na nag ingay sa social media para at nangangampanya pa para mapa deport ang kaaway niya, dun pa lang medyo fishy na. Usually yung mga unang kumukuda and may problema

    2. Tingin ko hindi magwawala si Jing Monis kung hindi nauna mag diva itong Brazilian model. just saying.

    3. may kulang sa istorya ng brazilian model.. ang pambungad nya ay nagsisigaw agad si jing.. for every reaction, there is a stimulus. di magsisigaw ng walang rason si jing. may nagtrigger dyan.she's leaving out something in her story. so makes me think that her version is quite fishy

      Delete
    4. 2:13 its a fashion show, maraming ganap. baka may trigger prior to that scene pero hindi ibig sabihin na si model agad ang trigger. Pwedeng sya lang napagbuntunan ng galit...

      Delete
    5. Totoo. Ang unang kumuda at nagkalat ng maling istorya para sa simpatiya kadalasan ang guilty. Un maruming kamay yan ang mahilig magtuturo.

    1. Ako rin. Maybe may pagka maldita siya pero nagmaldita siya dahil nga nilait lait pa ang pagiging model nya.

    2. i think it's more of a misunderstanding. feeling nila both iniinsulto sila at sure silang innocent sila. iba ang dating sa kanila ng mga sinabi ng isa't isa. language barrier lang yan

  12. Next time use "woman' not "girl", and please don't use that because you are a woman!!! Everyone is equal!!! What is the purpose of fighting for "equality" if we are still making this as an excuse!!! Yeah, might as well leave the country and bring your business somewhere else!

    2. Susme naman, di nya naman first language ang English, ano. She probably didn't have a clue about your perceived difference between girl and woman. Hwag ka masyadong literal.

      Delete
    3. English is not her first language 2:01. Obvious naman sa sulat nya diba? And not because we are fighting for equality eh may karapatan si Jing manglait. Kahit naging male pa yang model, Jing should have treated her with some respect.

    4. Puso mo Jing easy ka lang

  13. Feeling ko din kasi may maling ganap naman kay ateng Jing. Siguro nagmaldita or who knows, lam mo naman mga ibang artists or director ng fashion show perfectionist at inilagay agad sa social media. Echusera din ito eh. But I think we should move forward and take this as a lesson, Kindly if naalibadbaran kayo sa foreign models, pls get Filipino models. Madami namang magaganda. Dapat mas dominated ng Filipino models ang fashion show at konti lang ang foreign. Like take Bench for example, daming Filipino talent iilan lang ang foreigners doon.

  14. sorry guy! echusera sya sa ig nya iba ang sinasabi nya sa mga kapwa nya brazilian in portuguese. hindi sya ganyan kabait mag salita noh! exuse me gabe barros! fluent ako sa portuguese ung mga reply nya sa kapwa brazilian hindi ganyan!

    2. Ako fluent sa Tagalog pero di ko magetz kung ano ang gusto mong tumbukin, Anon. 2:03. Ano ba ang mga circumstances na involved sa sinasabi mong mga reply nya sa kapwa Brazilians? Nagpaliwanag si gurl, eh ano ba ang inexpect mo, magtaray sya.

      Delete
    3. prang may mali din s sinabi nya. natural lng ma-stress at mgsisigaw c jing kpg may show. bka pinersonal lng nya kc dating skin ngsisigaw c jing pra s lahat. kso di sya sumagot nong sya n kinausap

      Delete
    4. mga teh ,baka communication problem between Jing and this lady. May language barrier, kaya next time mga Pilipino pagkukuhain niyo sa fashion show.

      Delete
  15. Oo feel ko nga si Mama jing ang may problema dito.

  16. Well, she is more believable than the beautician girl.

  17. I knew I couldn't believe that Jing person.

    1. He is a very loud person. As you can see, he even had the post the photo of the girl. He should have just confronted her

  18. The truth comes out.

  19. Don't believe jing guys, she has an attitude problem.

  20. Mas kapanipaniwala to… Yan ang problema sa mga may “PANGALAN” sa pinas.. akala mo uubra sa lahat yung pasigaw sigaw na ganyan. Parang walang pinagaralan

  21. Need ka pa rin ideport teh. Working without permit. Hindi ba punishable by law yan? Ganun na lang ba yun? No need to deport me byeeee??

    ReplyDelete

    1. Paano mo ipapadeport eh aalis na nga?? Temporary lang naman punta niya dito.

      Delete
    2. Kahit na 8:20. Pwede sya habulin.

      Delete
    3. Company yung may kasalanan kasi nag file dapat sila for her ng special permit.

      Delete
  22. Mukhang Wala nga syang permit to work here talaga.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Go Jing! Nagpaawa na lang yan bago umalis, naniwala naman agad kayo

    ReplyDelete
  24. A person who did nothing wrong does not apologize in the real world. And she is leaving coz she has no work permit. Jing's version makes more sense.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. kung ako ang nasa kalagayan niya, why would i secure a working permit kung pupunta lang ako dito sa pinas para bisitahin ang kaibigan ko? and according to her, PINAKIUSAPAN lang siya ng friend niya

      Delete
    2. Still not an excuse to humiliate her in his place of work nor in social media

      Delete
    3. 11:23, PINAKIUSAPAN does not justify working without permit. Ang illegal ay illegal . If it wasn't for this expose, she might have stayed here and continued working.

      Delete
    4. 11:23 joking, right?

    5. bakasyon lang sya dito baks! may dumating lang na sideline kaya sya rumampa! hindi naman sya talaga andito para rumampa! read mo ulit.

      Delete
    6. pwede naman if she worked pro bono. baka thank you lang yung participation nya dun. kung tumanggap sya ng bayad dun sya dapat habulin. technically, hindi ka "nagtrabaho" kung di ka naman tumanggap ng bayad.

  25. moral of the story, stop hiring these imported models, dito na sa Pilipinas kumuha.

    1. moral of the story, be kind ALWAYS. regardless kung foreigner ang model, kung may attitude yan, may attitude yan. same with the MUA.

  26. Imposible nman bigla nlng lumapit c Jing sa knya tas sinigawan sha, for what? Anu nman mapapala nung isa kung sigawan nya 'tong isang 'to

  27. There are three sides to every story... His side, her side and the truth...

    ReplyDelete
  28. I can see a silver lining to this. Its good na rin that Jing vented on socmed so that in the future, just in case may mag-attitude among these foreign workers, eh may paglalagyan sila. And for their awareness too. Anywhere in the world, you need to secure a work permit. As for you Gabe, so long and farewell. We wish you well but wag ka na lang bumalik. You are taking away jobs from our Pinay models.

    1. fyi hindi nya pinagpilitan sarili nya..kinuha sya. sinisi mo pa yung brazilian.

  29. Pero pa din wala kang working permit. You said In your letter that you just came to this country to visit a friend. Tourist visa ka lang.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Technically, she's not working if she didn't get paid. If she's doing her friend a favor and she didn't get paid for that gig, then there are no grounds to deport her.

    2. @1047 ikaw ba lawyer nyan? Palusot pa more, syempre may bayad yun!

  30. sa umpisa pa lang ng sulat, mayabang na ang dating. i'd believe jing more. the letter seems mayabang. mas papanigan ko ang pinoy kesa dayuhan. teritoryo natin ito, sila ang lumugar. pag tayo ang nasa ibang bansa, tayo ang nag-a-adjust. dito sila ang makisama at sumunod sa batas.

  31. I am sure the girl has an attitude but so does Jing Monis. They are each other's karma

    ReplyDelete
  32. I know this girl! GABE BARROS! Stop acting so be nice and all in here because honestly, you talk a lot of sh** about other models, photographers, HMUA! And you acts like your as if your an INTERNATIONAL TOP MODEL when you are nobody anywhere okay??? Not even in your own country!!! So yeah, leave before you get detained for not having a permit to even work here with your bitchy pretentious attitude!! Stop getting peoples sympathy, you have an attitude problem, and you deserve that!

    1. What makes you think that shes acting like International Top Model te? Nobody anywhere are u sure? Naku ha.

  33. Basta I care very little about the issue, but foreigners take note! This is not your country. This is not the country where you belong. Sarap talaga paalisin lahat ng mga banyagang umaabuso dito.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Nako! Na try ko na umattend ng ganyang event. May mga attitude talaga yung mga foreigners na models. Not that I don't believe you girl, but I just can't. Haha
