The Wasted Beauty of Janicel Lubina

I first took notice of Janicel Lubina when her story was featured on a TV newscast. Her humble beginnings as a housemaid to becoming a beauty queen will be good enough to catch attention, but what really drew me to her was her sultry, vixen type look that stirs the senses. I've become an admirer and secretly rooted for her victory in Bb. Pilipinas. With her dark long hair and morena complexion, gorgeous and beautiful face, statuesque beauty and a body to die for, Lubina epitomizes the true Filipina beauty that would be a perfect Miss Universe. 

Unfortunately, the outcome fall short of my expectations. Despite her winning two major awards, Janicel Lubina settled for Miss Philippines-International, a title equivalent to runner-up placement. Perhaps the ultimate cause of her downfall was the way she delivered her answer in the Q&A portion. Apparently, Lubina can't express herself well in English. But I wonder why speaking fluent English has always been a major consideration to winning the Miss Philippines-Universe crown. It's high time that local organizers should allow our Miss Universe reps to answer in Tagalog.  It wouldn't make our Filipina beauties inferior if they use an interpreter. Just look at the Latinas who choose to have interpreters and they usually ended up winning or placing in the finals.

Janicel Lubina's a rare find and hers shouldn't settle for anything less than the Universe crown. But the verdict has been reached: Janicel Lubina is found guilty of her poor English. What a wasted beauty!

The Filipino People Did Not Ask For It!

 

 

The President's numerous unpunished crimes against the Constitution continue to pile up. He commits one shameful blunder after another. The only thing that can do it is an immediate reprieve from Aquino and his regime. We need a break, some breathing space from the lunacy of it all. This is what everyone is asking for.

 

The people did not ask for it when Aquino corrupted the members of Congress by bribing them with the people’s money in order to put the State in control of the reproductive lives of Filipinos, and to impeach and remove Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona in order to remove a judicial obstacle to his planned dictatorship.

 

The people did not ask for it when Aquino used Corona’s impeachment to intimidate and shake up the judiciary and take effective control of Congress, notably its power of the purse, its exclusive power to impeach, and every major legislation that called for a division of the House.

 

The people did not ask for it when Aquino siphoned off hundreds of billions of pesos from projects authorized by Congress in the General Appropriations Act and transferred them to his own projects under his so-called Disbursement Acceleration Program, without the approval of Congress.

 

The people did not ask for it, even after the Supreme Court declared the DAP and the earlier Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) unconstitutional and directed the Executive Department to prosecute with reasonable dispatch all those who were involved in their manipulation and misuse.

 

The people did not ask for it when Congress enacted the 2015 P2.6 trillion budget, and restored and legalized all the discretionary lump-sum items previously voided by the Court, and redefined “savings” in order to circumvent the ruling of the Court and allow Aquino to declare as “savings” any amount in the budget anytime he wants to.

 

That is how patient (let us not say, undiscerning) our people have been with respect to the Aquino regime.

 

And then Mamasapano happened.
The death of 44 police commandos in the hands of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, with whom Aquino had a peace agreement and a standing ceasefire, while on a lawful mission to extract two international terrorists from the area, roused the nation from its deep slumber. Aquino was in Zamboanga City monitoring the entire operation when the SAF 44 were killed, after having been denied reinforcement. He could have ordered the reinforcement, but didn’t. To the contrary, the undenied report  was that Aquino himself ordered the reinforcement to stand down. Many from the ranks of the families of the fallen 44 have denounced this as treason.

 

Suddenly it became clear to all and sundry that Aquino had become a grave danger to the nation, and that we must immediately be rid of him for our own survival.
