Their color is in the center of human racial strains.This point is not an attempt at racism, but just for many Filipinos to realize that our color should not be a source of or reason for inferiority complex. While we pine for a fair complexion, the white people are religiously tanning themselves, whenever they could, under the sun or some artificial light, just... | | By: Angat ang Pinoy | | |

He says: "When they left, I felt as if I had lost my arms. I was so sad that I lost my appetite."Al-Maghrabi then flew to Manila to look for two other Filipino workers to replace the ones who had left. Previously, he had tried workers of different nationalities but they did not impress him. "There is no comparison between Filipinos ... | | By: Angat ang Pinoy | | |
| | Supreme Court Victory in Japan for Filipinos | | 2008-06-04 17:15:00 | | Supreme Court rules marriage requirement for nationality unconstitutionalWednesday 04th June, 04:13 PM JSTTOKYO —The Supreme Court on Wednesday declared unconstitutional a Nationality Law article requiring parents to be married in order for Japanese nationality to be granted to their children, ruling in favor of 10 Japanese-Filipino children.The top court’s grand bench made the landmark decision in two separate cases, filed in 2003 by one such child and in 2005 by a group of nine who were born out of wedlock to Japanese fathers and Filipino mothers and who obtained recognition of paternity of their fathers after birth.The decision will also affect any child whose mother is of foreign nationality.Twelve of the 15 justices including Presiding Justice Niro Shimada on the grand bench ruled the Nationality Law clause illegal.At the time of the provision’s establishment in 1984, ‘‘there might have been compelling reasons that the parents’ marriages signify their child’s close t... | | By: Rey Ian\\\\\\\'s Personal Blog | | |

But recent events tell me this isn't true. It is one thing to see people turn into drug addicts, prostitutes, thieves and murderers because of hunger and poverty, but what excuse do these rich, educated people have that could possibly explain their bizarre behavior? And to think I was always so relieved when petty snatchers got caught and locked away in jai... | | By: Angat ang Pinoy | | |
| | YouTube da "ciber éxito" a dos cantantes filipinos | | 2008-01-12 20:10:23 | |
Se trata de Arnel Pineda y Charice Pempengco, cuyos videos en el conocido portal son de los más vistos.
A veces el camino al estrellato empieza con un clic en YouTube. En dos de las últimas carreras meteóricas lanzadas por la página de videos, los cantantes filipinos Charice Pempengco y Arnel Pineda han salido de un relativo anonimato para alcanzar unos niveles de popularidad sorprendentes incluso para ellos.
Pempengco, de quince años, pensaba que su carrera musical estaba condenada al fracaso cuando perdió una competencia local de canto en el 2006.
Pero YouTube le dio el "ciber éxito" de su vida, cuando un video de ella cantando la canción de Jennifer Holliday "And I'm Telling you I am Not Going" captó la atención de la presentadora de televisión Ellen DeGeneres y el productor ganador de un Grammy David Foster.
Charice Pempengco canta And I'm telling you I'm not going
DeGeneres entrevistó a la joven en su programa en diciembre, cuando impresionó a la audiencia con su potencia de voz, y Foster se la presentó a sus amigos como "mi nueva cantante", después de que ambos se conocieran en Los Angeles.
"Después de cantar en el programa el año pasado, Ellen me abrazó y me dijo que era el comienzo de mi carrera internacional", dijo la joven a Reuters en Manila, la semana pasada.
Charice Pempengco canta I will survive
Esta atareada adolescente estudia ahora desde casa para graduarse, mientras los videos de ella cantando temas de Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé y Celine Dion circulan por el ciberespacio.
Después de más de cinco millones de visitas en YouTube, aún se sorprende cuando la reconocen por la calle.
Pineda, por otro lado, ha llegado al éxito de la noche a la mañana.
Este cantante profesional de 40 años, con cierta reputación en los clubes de Manila, parecía condenado a sumarse a la legión de cantantes con talento pero relativamente poco reconocidos que nunca... | | By: Suriel de la jungla perdida. | | |
| | Meeting a Lot of Filipinos | | 2008-01-01 09:44:00 | | Here in Tokyo, you can test the resilience and value of Filipinos by the way of Bayahinan. Yes, Bayanihan is still active here. Here in Tokyo, people gather almost every month in form of organizations, friends, even party friends to celebrate Christmas and help each other. When I went last week to a party in Meguro, someone even gave me 500 yen worth of call cards, in a way of marketing, and a way to call my love ones back home.Most Filipinos have the same story of how hard it is for them for live here in Japan and sadly have met a lot of them. I met someone who even has no VISA, or what they call here BILOG, and on that day, lost his father (died), and I can see in his eyes that he wants to cry but he can't. It was so sad. I even heard he called his family in Taguig about confirming the transmittal of 20,000 yen to his family. So sad. He can't even celebrate Christmas and New Year here in Tokyo.There were other stories of success where people have earned a lot but yet, some of them lost their relationship ties with their love ones, amongst all, is because of temptations. Especially when you have a lot of money here, there are a lot of temptations.I have also met a colleague of mine way back from Makati where he lives in an ice-filled town and worked as a full-time mechanical engineer. I was glad I was able to meet him in Akihabara.Also many Filipinos are willing to help you here. Especially in my case, having no heater in the room, caused some of my friends to look for other friends who have heater. And luckily, I have on now. To my surprise, a Japanese gave it to me. Here, it is their constant habit to throw all the OLD things they have. If they move out to an another house or their appliances are already more than a year or two, they throw them out. But they would prefer giving it out to someone as the government charges them 1,000 yen for every electronic item they dispose as a disposal fee. It is really strict and they really love the environment. As to not l... | | By: Rey Ian\\\\\\\'s Personal Blog | | |

| | Response On Divisiveness & the Overseas Filipinos | | 2007-07-06 18:00:00 | | Jose Ma. Montelibano emailed a response below on my "critique" of his article Sons and daughters quite intriguing and insightful. Fidel Umaga has Alimangong Bukid and Henry with his take on Filipino Ego as mere pretensions.

| | On Divisiveness and the Overseas Filipinos | | 2007-07-06 00:20:00 | | The article Sons and Daughters by Jose Ma. Montelibano in his Inquirer column Glimpses is almost accurate to a tee, good read for Overseas Filipinos. It has some minor points that he may have missed. I don’t blame him though for the slight inaccuracy since he wants to send a message to these fools’ errrr people that one of these days we may find the unattainable dream of “unity”. Overall I... | | By: Pedestrian Observer | | |
