Global Pinoy

The past few months looked particularly bleak knowing that some of my fellow Filipinos are at their best trying to oust our incumbent president. Sigh. It's difficult to utter the phrase "I'm proud to be a Filipino" these days.

But God must've heard the faith of other Filipino hearts crying for change. for transformation. for hope. and decided to bring lit'l blessings along our way.

Last sept. 15, Manny Pacquiao brought pride back into our country by relinquishing his throne after being crowned the new WBC International Super Featherweight champion.

And just this Monday, another world title was bequeathed to our beloved Philippines as Precious Lara Quigaman was crowned the Miss International 2005, besting contestants from 52 other countries.

To Manny and Lara, thank you for being our "heroes"--you allow us to face the world with our chins held a little higher and our shoulders a little straighter.

Go global pinoys!
