ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! HINIHINGI KO PO ANG TIME NIYO PARA BASAHIN ITO BECAUSE IT'S VERY ALARMING NA.
Since hindi gumana ang pag spread natin ng awareness sa comment section ng video ni Mariel Pamintuan, at some sa mga comments ay tinake down, the only way we can do is to reach out to Mariel through a direct message so that maging aware siya to take the accountability of spreading "UNINTENTIONAL harmful music video" since she's not aware that some pips are struggling from this.
A Heartfelt Request Regarding Your Parody Video
Hi Mariel,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out regarding your recent parody music video about body odor (APT). While I understand that humor is a powerful tool for entertainment, I’d like to share a perspective that might not have been considered during its creation.
As someone who suffers from bromhidrosis—a medical condition causing body odor—I can tell you firsthand that living with this condition is incredibly challenging. It’s not simply about hygiene; it can be genetic or the result of other health conditions. Many people, like myself, have spent considerable amounts of money on medical consultations, treatments, and expensive products in the hope of managing it, often with little to no success. Unfortunately, some of us cannot even afford these treatments or products, leaving us to suffer in silence.
The emotional toll of living with bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is immense. Many of us experience bullying, humiliation, and social isolation. This has led some to develop severe mental health issues, and tragically, some have even become suicidal or taken their own lives because of the constant ridicule and stigma.
Your video has reached millions of people, and while it may seem like lighthearted humor to many, it reinforces stereotypes and stigma about people with this condition. I believe no one would ever choose to smell unpleasant. Those of us who suffer from bromhidrosis already do everything we can to address it, but it’s not always within our control.
Mariel, you have an amazing platform that could be used to foster understanding and compassion. I kindly ask you to consider taking this opportunity to educate yourself about bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis and to use your influence to raise awareness about these conditions rather than perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
If you would like to know more, you can visit the Facebook group page "PINOY HYPERHIDROSIS/EXCESSIVE SWEATING." There, you will see the stories of many people struggling with these conditions and understand the challenges we face daily.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope this message is received in the spirit of understanding and growth.
