Let's Go, Let's VOTE.

The first blog entry for this month. Hmm. Let's see...

Of course, I know you guys missed me, so let's make my comeback a bit, spicier, a bit mature, a bit serious...

My mom's long term boss, friend and comrade and Executive Director of a Non-Government Organization (SM ZOTO) Butch Ablir sent me this link on Facebook: www.apecdoc.org/photocontest

What is SM ZOTO?

- SM ZOTO is a Philippine NGO that stands for "Samahan ng Mamamayan Zone One Tondo Organization". It is a people's organization composed of more than 600 local urban poor organizations and is working within 28 urban poor communities throughout Metro-manila. Please click this link for more info: http://www.smzoto.org.ph/

What does SM ZOTO do?

- SM ZOTO offers a lot of programs to fight against poverty with the help of its European funders. They have a long list of programs such as microfinancing, youth and young people's programs, primary health care and integrated reproductive health,  gender equity, sustainability as well as training and organizing. 

What is this link all about?  www.apecdoc.org/photocontest

-This is an online photo contest wherein people from around the world submitted pictures. The theme of the contest is to see the importance of computers and technology in communities throughout the world. Please vote for entries in the Philippines. So, mga kababayan, iboto natin ang kapwa natin Pilipino sa paligsahan na ito. This will be a big help to ZOTO and all the individuals who have participated. This will bring prestige and pride to us Filipinos. 

Fellow readers, feel free to vote. Please register to apecdoc.org first before you can vote. This is very important to SM ZOTO and the Filipino contestants. I would really appreciate it. 

European and American readers, we value your support. 

I will still continue to blog about fashion, literature and music in the future. In the meantime, please vote! Let's do this!

Last Leg of the World Pyro Olympics...

Okay so me and my best friend went to the Mall of Asia last Sunday to watch the fireworks display of the USA and the Philippines. As usual, we were not able to get there in time so I don't have any pictures of the 1st performer. Good thing I was able to capture the Philippines' fireworks exhibition. It was goooooddd... sooo good... :)

A Black Ribbon for the Victims of Political Killings

Justice for the 57 people who died in perhaps the worst political massacre in the Philippines.

This horrific tragedy is also called "The Ampatuan Massacre" which was named after the city in Maguindanao where it happened. The killings occurred on the morning of Nov. 23, 2009.

This is one of the reasons I hate politics. It is deadly (literally) and I can't understand it. Even though I don't like to be involved in any political organization, issue or whatsoever, I am not oblivious to the happenings in my country. This has to stop now! I and perhaps almost all Filipinos want change.

Ilan pa ba ang kailangang mamatay para lang matuto tayong maghangad ng pagbabago?
