Binatikos ang TikTok video ng Filipino teenager na si Zoe Gabriel matapos niyang ibalandra ang kaniyang unang "luxury bag" na binili mula sa isang sikat na brand na Charles & Keith, ayon sa ilang netizens hindi raw 'yon kinokonsidera bilang luxury item.
Sa nasabing TikTok video, ipinagmalaki ni Zoe ang kaniyang unang luxury bag na bigay ng kaniyang ama. Excited niya itong binuksan at inirampa.
Gayunman, may mga netizen na hindi na-impress dahil hindi raw kinokonsiderang mamahalin ang naturang bag.
Ang double handle tote bag ay nagkakahalagang humigit-kumulang $80 base sa website ng Charles & Keith.
Sa panibagong video, sinagot ni Zoe ang ngayo'y deleted comment ng netizen na nagsabing, "who's gonna tell her?"
"Money is the topic [that] makes me most uncomfortable to talk about. And that is because growing up I did not have a lot. My family didn’t have a lot," saad ng 17-anyos na TikTok content creator.
"We couldn’t buy new things as simple as bread from BreadTalk… that kind of thing was such a luxury to us when we first moved to Singapore. Every time we passed by a store my parents would just say next time but next time we'd never come.
"Your comment spoke volumes on how ignorant you seem because of your wealth to you an $80 bag may not be a luxury [but] for me and my family it is a lot.
"And I'm so grateful that my dad was able to get me one. He worked so hard for that money. I can't believe I got hate over a bag that I was so excited to have," paglalahad pa niya.
Sa ulat ng Singaporean news na The Strait Times, ibinahagi ni Zoe na nag-migrate sa Singapore ang pamilya nito mula sa Pilipinas noong 2010.
