Netizens shared their reaction after actress Beauty Gonzalez paraded her excavated gold jewelry during the recently concluded GMA Gala 2023.
Beauty posted some photos of her wearing the jewelries with the following caption:
“My look for #GMaGala2023 is an appreciation for Philippine Ancestral Gold🤍 My Centuries old Gold Neck Piece and Earrings are Excavated Eye and Mouth Covers from distant places like Butuan and Surigao.”
Netizens posted the comments about the said post:
– “Disappointing. Please take time to understand what this Philippine Ancestral Gold is (as you like to call it) and its relevance to our national history and culture.”
– “Disgusting. Excavating gold from our ancestors and turning them into jewelry instead of preserving its cultural value.”
– “It doesn’t bother you that those death masks were intended to aid the dead into crossing into the next realm?”
– “Where’s the preservation of artefacts? Of history? This is so callous and disrespectful. I’m shocked by the audacity of everyone involved.”
– “YIKES. You know where they are from and that doesn’t bother you? You’re even proud of it? This is not something you should flex lol”
