Ms. Philippines Should Have Won Ms. Universe 2011 - Oprah Winfrey

Image
I may be bias when I say that I agree with Ms. Oprah Winfrey especially on what she said when asked to comment about the winners of the Ms. Universe 2011 pageant. "I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point." – Oprah via NBC News. Nevertheless, congratulations Ms. Shamcey Supsup, Ms. Universe 3rd Runner Up. Like it? Share it. Get the Share on Facebook widget and many other great free widgets at Widgetbox ! Not seeing a widget?

Ad Jesum Per Mariam

Image
Aside from Jesus, Mary is perhaps the next most popular Biblical figure among Christians. For Catholic Christians, she is not only admired but revered and venerated. The Orthodox Christians, some Anglicans, Lutherans and even Muslims revere her as a holy person. Mary, the mother of Jesus, has been admired by many, including Filipino Christians who was even declared "pueblo amante de Maria". For Catholics, Mary is more than just a holy person: she becomes a model, an example on how to follow Jesus' teaching. She is the prototype of an Apostle. Before the apostles believed, she already believed ("Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to your word.") Thus, for the Catholic Church, there is a set of dogmas concerning Mary that are among the core of the Catholic Faith. Catholics believe in one God in 3 divine persons (The Trinitarian Dogma), which implies that God is manifested in three distinct persons: God The Father, God the Son (Jesus) a...

. Currently there are 28 finalists vying to be included in the new seven wonders of the world. One of the 28 is the Philippines' underground river in Palawan.

As of today, there are only 68 days left before they will announce the winners. Your vote can help push for Palawan's underground river's inclusion in the list.

We Can't Handle The Truth

Image
I was reading the news today on the internet and came upon this news article published in Yahoo!News-Philippines. It is about an alleged comment made by former U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenney (who is now the U.S. Ambassador to Thailand). According to the article, Ambassador Kenney allegedly wrote criticizing the move of the late President Corazon Aquino of allying herself with "more dubious political figures such as President Estrada" thus "blemishing her reputation as a moral crusader". Kenney was referring to the time when there were calls for then President Gloria Arroyo to resign from the Presidency due to allegations of electoral fraud. This alleged criticism was published in the WikiLeaks. Former President Estrada himself was ousted in 2001 by a popular revolt. During the said People Power 2, President Cory Aquino was among the "leaders", together with the late Jaime Cardinal Sin and leaders of the opposition. Erap was then ch...
