In your opinion what is the bigger "mortal sin"

- Being rich and still be "baduy".

- Being rich and ugly.

Rich but baduy. Kung pangit ka la ka ng magagawa, pero kung baduy ka kasalanan mo na yun...

haha

kala ko ano "mortal sin"

rich and ugly: may pera naman para sa services ni Belo

rich and baduy: may pera naman para sa services ng isang stylist/image consultant

Mas mortal sin ang poor and ugly, and poor and baduy.

hehe

Well, all I can say is.....................

It's not a mortal sin to be rich, baduy, or ugly. But, money talks regardless.

Huh? What is being baduy, anyway?

Tacky or poor taste.

There are a lot of rich people that aren't necessarily good looking but are mistaken to be just because they have good hair, skin, teeth and clothes. All of which could be bought. But if you try to picture them with bad hair, ugly skin, crooked teeth and shabby clothes that's when you'd realize that they're not attractive after all.

So I think being rich and ugly is a bigger mortal sin 'coz you have the means to improve what can be improved (Si Manny Pacquiao lang talaga yung hopeless case). You can't buy taste/personal style/legacy that's why being "nouveau rich" is often used as a derogatory term. Taste is something that you are either born with or acquired over a long period of time. That's why there are more "rich and baduy" than "rich and ugly".

here's how one writer describes Lucio Tan

...a tycoon who's never quite looked like one... Mr. Tan habitually dresses in the simple barong Tagalog shirt of the Philippines, a loose-fitting soft white shirt, and is often ribbed in the local media for wearing cheap pants and white nylon socks.

I don't think any of those things is a "mortal" sin... but if I had to choose... well... poor taste is poor taste... but ugliness is all in your head...

If you are poor, you can't do anything about being baduy or ugly... if you are rich, you can go visit Dr. Belo and buy all the latest fashion items...
