Search For Outstanding Global Pinoys

A couple of weeks ago I received an email (haven't checked my inbox for sometimes) asking my help to spread the word that there is a search for “Outstanding Global Pinoys” all over the world.

I guess its one way their sponsors of saying “Thank You” for buying their chocolate bars and whiskies as “pasalubong” to your love ones (my wife bought these stuffs only because of the free umbrellas and travel bags that goes with it).

For me and to their families at least, every OFW and pinoy expatriates are “outstanding”. They are the reason “kuya”, “ate” and “nene” finished college. They may not be their to be among us in times of celebration and difficulties. But the “hamon” and “mansanas” during Christmas and paid medical bills of “tatay”, “nanay” or “lolo” and “lola” are reminders enough of their presence. They are the very reason why the Philippines is surviving while other nation suffers in these global financial crises.

So, if you think your pastor in your weekly “alive” group deserves it or the sports organizer of your “samahan” warrants recognition, you may submit their names here. Deadline of entries is until February 29.

May the “winners” worthy of the accolades.

  4. Sila nga ang mga modern heroes sa Pinas! I'v seen some of them work two or three jobs just to be able earn enough money to send home. Many of their relatives are not aware of their hardships and sacrifices and some of them keep asking for more "foreign aid". Akala nila kinukuha lang ito sa Money Tree LOL.

    1. Yan kasi ang "concept" ng karamihan sa Pinas. Ang 'merika is a land of milk and honey.

  5. what you said is spot on. I recall many years ago, in the late 80's, the most outstanding Global Pinoy was a dancer :)

    No sense in having a competition on this one. Every Pinoy who goes abroad and helps his family as you alluded to is already outstanding.
