Ito ang laman ng isang online post ng beauty queen at negosyanteng si Maggie Wilson kaugnay ng kaniyang pagiging prangka, na aniya’y hindi rin nagugustuhan ng karamihan.
“As you know, I've always been quite outspoken. People may not like me for it, but that's ok. I see so many people living a lie. Every day I see dishonesty, but no one has the balls to come forward and be the true friend they portray they are,” mababasa sa makahulugang Instagram post ni Maggie, Biyernes.
Ito raw ang natutunan ng modelo sa nakalipas na 18 buwan.
“Having spent a lot of time outside of the Philippines with other nationalities, I realized that we spend so much of our energy talking about other people's lives instead of helping that person out by telling them the truth, what you know, or how you feel.

“From my experience, if I witnessed something or had a bad experience, I would speak up because I want to prevent that person from getting hurt. It is my duty as a friend or a loved one to do so.”
Matatandaan ang kamakailang bukas na liham umano ni Maggie para sa estranged husband na si Victor Consunji.
Ito’y kasunod ng pagkakaaresto noon sa isang Lana Faith Johnson, ang public relations executive ng kompanya ni Victor sa kasong consummated qualified theft matapos umanong mag-isyu nito ng libu-libong-halaga na pinekeng resibo sa isang kliyente.
Lumalabas kasing tila nagbabala na ang noo’y misis sa asawang negosyante ngunit hindi siya nito pinaniwalaan.
Paliwanag ni Maggie, “I do it because I care. I would never tell that person who they should like, admire or dislike as they/you make that decision, but I never want to hear them say, ‘why didn't you tell me’ or ‘why didn't you warn me’ sooner.”
“More often than not, people will tell you what they know after you discover it yourself. By then, so much damage has been done, and so much hurt has been caused,” pagpapatuloy ni Maggie.
“The number of people who reached out to me after speaking up was alarmingly high. People say it's because they didn't or don't want to be seen as intrusive. Personally, I find it the opposite, especially if what's happening or what's happened, in their opinion, was wrong.
“Why is it that in our culture, we are so scared to speak up, take action or do something? Is it because we don't like confrontation, or we're worried about what they're going to think or how they're going to react, or is it because we lie to ourselves because it's the easier way?” pagpapatuloy ni Maggie.Sa huli, hinikayat ng modelo ang kaniyang followers na piliin ang magpakatotoo.
"Let's be honest for a change!" aniya.
