From Melanie Marquez, 1979 Bb. Pilipinas-International And From Melanie Marquez, 1979 Bb. Pilipinas-International and Miss International (same year): What preparations are you doing to be a worthy representative of the country? Jennifer: I go to the gym, I’m on a diet, we have speech training. I pray along with a lot of other people praying for me. Prayer helps. Patricia: I’m also on a diet. From now on, I’ll start working out. I’m reading a lot more. Janina: Right now po, nag-aaral kami ng English language. Yes. Siempre, naggo-Gold’s Gym po kami to be physically fit. ‘Yon lang po. From Charlene Gonzalez, 1994 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe and one of the Miss U Top 6 (same year): What can you say about the youth of Asia? Jennifer: Young Asians today are very creative and receptive of new ideas and this attitude helps open new opportunities for them. Patricia: I think the youth today, and not only Asians, are open to globalization. Although open to new ideas, the young people of Asia have remained faithful to their own traditions and values. Janina: Basta huwag lang po sila panghihinaan ng loob, mayroon silang mararating. At saka, advice ko sa kanila, “Be yourself palagi.” From Precious Lara Quigaman, 2005 Bb. Pilipinas-International and Miss International (same year): How would you convince the Filipino people that speaking English fluently is not necessary in a beauty contest? Jennifer: Speaking in English is not necessary as long as you’re speaking from the heart, and you’re sincere. What comes from the heart is more important than what’s coming from your mind or from your mouth. Patricia: It’s important for you to be fluent in your native tongue and it helps if you speak English especially if you’re competing in an international contest. What counts is if you are able to express what you feel and what you think in any language you are comfortable in. Janina: Kasi po, tayo po mga Filipino naman po tayo kaya kailangan ipagmalaki po natin ang ating sariling lenguahe. So, hindi lang po ‘yung palaging banyaga, kagaya nga po ng English which is pinaka-common na language. From Gloria Diaz, 1969 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe and Miss Universe (same year, the first Filipina to bring home the crown, followed by Margie Moran in 1973): Now that you have the title, think back. What do you think made you win and how will you use them (the winning qualities) during your reign and beyond? Jennifer: I think what helped me win were the people who prayed for me. There were lots of them — my mom, my relatives, my friends. My victory is not mine alone but also of those who supported me. My testimony will speak for me; whatever I experienced in the Bb. Pilipinas pageant will help me when I compete in the Miss Universe pageant. Patricia: I have achieved inner peace and that I think helped me win. I’m not trying to put them down but some girls, I think, smile “artificially” during a pageant. I can say that when I smile, I do it with sincerity, from within, from the heart. During the Miss International contest, I hope to show them that we Filipinos are warm and friendly. Janina: I guess ‘yung pagiging humble ko, kasi sa simula’t-simula pa ng competition na ‘to hindi po ako nang-apak ng kahit na sinong tao. Lagi pong nasa isip ko na ako ‘to at gagawin ko ang lahat ng makakaya ko para patunayan na kaya ko kahit bata pa po ako. So, ‘yon po. From Myrna Panlilio, 1964 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe: Abroad, what will you say or do to impress the people of that country about the beauty of the Philippines? Jennifer: I will not try so hard to impress them; I will just be myself. That also helped me win — just by being myself. Patricia: I will try to look my best. I will be natural. I will see to it that by looking at me, they will see the beauty of our country. Janina: Siempre po, unique ang mga Filipina hindi lang po sa ganda kundi sa paguugali. Marunong po tayo makisama sa tao at kaya po nating patunayan na mayroon din tayong mararating kahit paano. From Anna Theresa Licaros, 2007 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe: What will you give up your crown for? Jennifer: Since I don’t have a boyfriend, I won’t give up my crown for a man. Hahahahaha! I think I will be spending less and less time with my family. After the coronation night, we have been very busy with pictorials, interviews, TV guestings and so many other things. Patricia: No, I won’t give up my crown for anything. I already gave up many things for the contest, I worked hard for the contest, and now that I’m a winner, why would I give up my crown? After all, I will reign for only one year. Yes, I have a boyfriend; he’s an engineer who is secure with himself. He was the one pa nga who organized a cheering squad during the pageant. Janina: Ay, hindi ko po igi-give up; hinding-hindi po. For now, wala naman pong dahilan para i-give up ang aking crown. Boyfriend? Wala pa po. I never had a boyfriend. From Carlene Aguilar, 2005 Bb. Pilipinas-World: Do you believe you deserve the title? How will you prove it? Jennifer: Yes, I am. I have such faith in God and I believe that He put me here for a purpose. Patricia: Of course, I do! Like the rest of the girls, I worked hard for this. I like to think that the judges were convinced that I am worthy as the country’s representative in an international pageant. Janina: Siguro naman po hindi magbibigay ‘yung mga judge ng maling decision. So nirirespeto ko po ‘yung naging decision nila at siguro naman po karapat-dapat ako bilang representative sa Miss World contest. From Pilar Pilapil, 1967 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe: As a Binibini, how are you going to pursue your purpose? Jennifer: With my title, I believe I will be an effective instrument for evangelism. I plan to help spread the word of God. Patricia: I believe that my purpose in life is to bring out the best in people. I want to inspire other people and I think I can achieve this purpose with the Bb. Pilipinas title as platform. Janina: Kagaya ko po, sa age ko, pinagsikapan ko pong makuha ang titulo na ‘to. So dapat po, tumulong tayo sa mga nangangailangan... sa mga charity, sa mga tao at sa buong Pilipinas. From Ruffa Gutierrez, 1993 Bb. Pilipinas-World and Miss World Second Princess (Third Placer, same year): Which of the problems in our country today is the most difficult, and how could you be of help? Jennifer: The lack of equal opportunities for our people. Which is a pity because Filipinos are intelligent and hard-working. I could help by inspiring them and giving them my testimony in life. Patricia: It’s hard to pinpoint which one because our country is confronted by so many problems. I agree with Jennifer. Not everybody is given enough opportunity to shine and to make use of what they learn in school. The government should create more jobs. I’d like to put up my own business so I can provide jobs in my own little way. Janina: Siguro po, kahit na gaano kadami ang problema, lahat naman po ng problema may solusyon. At sana po, magawan ng paraan ng lahat ng Filipino kung paano natin masosolusyunan ang ating mga problema. From Miriam Quiambao, 1999 Bb. Pilipinas-Universe and first runner-up in the Miss U pageant (same year): If you win a P1,000,000 jackpot, what will you do with it? Jennifer: Part of it I will give to the church and the rest I will share with my family. Patricia: Some of it I would donate to charity and whatever is left I will use as down payment for a car. Janina: Lahat po ‘yon gagastusin ko sa pamilya. Sila muna ang aasikasuhin ko bago ang sarili ko..

  • 20 Century Ends
    New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.

This case has reinforced what has long been a common knowledge that live-in caregivers are exploited, underpaid, and abused. Although there are some good employers, they are not the majority. The problem has always been a concern but it seems that government policies do not change without active lobbying by the community. Almost at the same time that this high profile case hit the newspaper headlines, there was already a proposed consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship & Multiculturalism, Honorable Jason Kenney, scheduled by the end of May which was the result of prior meetings held with him in the past when he was holding the position of Secretary of A group was formed to work on immigration issues, focusing on the live-in caregivers program. to prepare for a consultation meeting with the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship and Multiculturalism, Hon.
