Meryll Sarco Introduction The written works of Meryll Sarco Introduction Below is an excerpt from my blog: http://meryllsarco.wordpress.com. Who am I? I am not defined by my age, my race, nor my ancestry. Though, I think it would still be cool to to tell you that I am a Filipino who grew up and resides in the busy city of Metro Manila; born to an Ilonggo father and a Davaoeno mother. I have one sibling: my favorite brother, two dogs, and a stray cat who have four kittens squatting in our backyard. I am also not defined by any status whatsoever. I am single and at a place in my life where I can say that I am happily and blessedly so. I refuse to be defined by my vocation. In case you’re wondering, I have worked five jobs since graduation, the current one being a business development and marketing professional for a global law firm – a job I am grateful to God for. Yet, this I consider far from my real calling and life purpose. I am not defined by my physical appearance though I honestly admit that I occasionally struggle with the concept of “self-brand” as the marketers of today promote. I am definitely overweight — I have been ever since I was a child. I know that this needs to change, but my physical appearance and the aim to be healthy is not for aesthetic reasons. I don’t want them to be. There is a higher purpose for my attempts at weight loss. I belabor to say all that because I want to emphasize that I am defined by someone else other than myself. This person defines me because he created me. He knows me so much better than I know myself. He knit me in my mother’s womb. He knows how many hairs I have on my head – at all times, regardless of hair fall. Even before the world began, he already knew me. To know this person in an intimate and loving relationship, I’ve discovered, is the main point of my existence. All my life directed, moved, shaped, and defined by him. “His name is Jesus and he loves me and I know this cause he died for me and he rescued me. There is no greater love in the world.” as sung by Smokie Norful in his song “No Greater Love.” I have not archived old posts from this blog so if you reach as far back as the beginning, you should see my imperfections and that’s okay. Even my mistakes do not define me. December of 2016, I write this description more as a personal reminder that I hope to shine the spotlight not on me but on Jesus. The Jesus of the bible. The one who saves people from sin. The one who defeated death. The one, true, living God. I welcome your comments, discussions, and questions; confident that nothing any man does will ever separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus. That’s grace, my friends. Welcome and hope you enjoy reading. PR & Advertising This section compiles the work done while employed as a copywriter in an advertising agency as well as those done as a freelance writer.

In fact, in the Philippines, we dress-up for no occasion at all. You walk into any mall and you will find people from all walks of life wearing the latest trends. There’s also no secret that Filipinos are very creative.

  • The Debate Over Beauty Pageants in the Philippines: Empowerment Or Objectification of Women? Katarina Rodriguez Stepped Forward
    The debate over beauty pageants in the Philippines: Empowerment or objectification of women? Katarina Rodriguez stepped forward, picked a question from the fishbowl and handed it to the hosts Ruffa Gutierrez and Laura Lehmann. The question: “There are people who believe that beauty pageants are a form of women exploitation. What can you do to change their opinion?” Without missing a beat, the candidate from Davao answered: “I'd like to think that one should live by example. And I would like to admit that I was one of those [ladies] before, until I learned more about what beauty pageants are about. One thing I can tell you is that you may think it's very competitive but it's not. You understand beauty pageants when you know that it is not competition against other women. It's actually competing against yourself. And in a sense, it's all about woman empowerment. And you can feel that in this group of girls… each girl knows that we are all individually beautiful.” At the end of the evening, Katarina went on to win the Miss World Philippines title and will represent the country in Sanya, China. This will be her second time to compete in an international pageant, having previously competed in Egypt for the Miss Intercontinental last January. The Philippines is no doubt a pageant loving nation. Beauty pageants are part of the country’s culture and this can be seen from barangay beauty contests to national competitions. The country has produced 3 Miss Universe titleholders, 1 Miss World, 6 Miss International winners, and 4 Miss Earth titleholders.

"May he enable all the beloved people of this country to work together, protecting one another, beginning with your families and communities," the Pope said. His homily followed a thunderous welcome to the capital. Pope Francis in Asia As he entered the park, the huge crowd chanted, "Papa Francesco, Papa Francesco!"
