The story of Jane Walker is touching and an inspiration to all the Filipinos around the world. This British mom really touched my heart that’s why it drives me to write about her. She was called an Angel to save the Filipino children in Manila’s city dump, the Smokey Mountain.
A winless retirement for Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera (33) after the 12 round fight with Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (28) Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas, Nevada (Sunday Morning, Manila).
Before the main event, not to forget that another Filipino aside from Pacquiao made us all really proud by winning his title from Mexican Arturo Valenzuela known as Little Eagle “Aguilita”. The 2 round fight triumph of our kababayan from Sorsogon, Michael Farinas had an impressive round 1 and won by total knock out (TKO) in the second round.
Michael Farinas and Manny Pacquiao you are truly Proud Pinoy!

A Filipino-American Senior Nurse Lily Maniquiz Lara based in Los Angeles, a nurse manager of the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System’s Nursing Home Care Unit 213-2 was named one of the Best Nurse Leaders of the United States by winning the 2006 ADVANCE for Nurses Journal’s Best Nurse Leader award.
Vital to her winning was the successful implementation of a program that she created for the reduction of patient fall incidents. The program has been adopted as model for other fall prevention programs. “I was challenged by my senior leadership team to address the increasing patient fall incidents in our unit.

A young man who had a comfortable and achievement-adorned life in the US, left it all in search of true meaning to “life, freedom, purpose, and happiness” figuratively embodied in a “perfect golden coconut.” While in the US, he graduated Valedictorian of his high school class, received a full scholarship to one of the top US colleges, Rice University, interned at NASA for two terms, and is MENSA International qualified, to name a few of his accomplishments. He now lives as a “nomad” in the Philippines and attempts to try and understand various aspects of life and life itself. He maintains a blog to document his thoughts and photographs during his journey. His writings and ideas have good intentions and have potential for overall world improvement, which you will see from reading his blog.

I was invited by Lester Cavestany about his latest article, “Suportahan Ta Ka (Vote for Marco Torres as a Torchbearer in the 2008 Beijing Olympics)”. At first i was curious who’s this man named Marco Torres he’s talking about.

I hope it’s not late to invite people from the community in this competition sponsored by Reyna Elena herself. “She’d be more forever grateful if you join the project as a sponsor. The sponsor could be a Pinoy blogger, a local or foreign employer, a corporation perhaps or, another overseas Filipino who believes in us – the Overseas Filipino Workers.”

Reyna Elena quoted, “This is my response to the negativities hurled to all Overseas Filipino Workers by a notorious columnist who’s got the blessings and allowed by some newspaper dailies in the Philippines.” Read more of this >>
