Carpe Diem

I made some few campaigns, lobbying and seize opportunities before. I have tried to lobby and campaign for the return of The Amazing Race (US edition) for a visit here in the Philippines particularly its first visit here Iloilo, Philippines and I can also be a local greeter. It was somehow successful but somehow I was disappointed. Yes, The Amazing Race Season 22 will return to the Philippines but not Iloilo and I am not the local greeter and their filming of the race starts this November. My question was chosen to ask a finalist in the 2012 Miss USA beauty pageant and fortunately was answered by the ultimate winner, Olivia Culpo of Rhode Island. Grabbing every opportunity that comes and seize the day I must say because we don't know what we will get so I lived by it since then. There are still more campaigns to do until I get my desired results. It does not stop there because this is just the beginning of great things to come. C'est La Vie!

Beauty Pageant's Question and Suggested Answer

Question: Many airports are now using full body scanners, how do you feel about going through a scanner that can actually see through your clothes?


(Question asked by British actress Jane Seymour to Miss Ukraine Anna Poslavskaya, Miss Universe 3rd runner up)


Suggested Answer: Body scanner used at airports, sea port, malls and other public places are meant to protect people from harm and to avert terrorism and other criminal acts like smuggling. Security and safety are the top priority of the scanners which are made for. It would be an intimidating feeling but you should be reminded that if it is for our safety, then it would be fine. Transparent scanners such as this is fine with me, for our goodness sake for as long as no malicious intent or purposes other than it is intended for be used for this scanner. Same gender of the same or contrasting sexuality shall be employed to do the job to ensure safety and comfort.

Beauty Pageant's Question and Suggested Answer

Question: Some countries still practice the death penalty, is it acceptable and why?


(Question asked by International Supermodel Niki Taylor to Miss Jamaica, Yendi Phillips, Miss Universe 1st runner up)



Suggested Answer: The grim practice of death penalty which is still practiced by some countries to penalize the worst offenders has been abolished by most countries because of its extreme morbidity and harsh treatment of humans. Death penalty practicing countries wants to silence and eliminate hardened criminals so that they cannot proliferate and also serve as a warning to anyone who plan to commit a crime. Though it is very difficult to be in a situation in which you need to stop crime and evil doer at the same time preserving human life, it is just a matter of choice. It is fine to impose death on a hardened, recurring and nonredeemable criminals and just pray for their souls and for the rest lifetime imprisonment in a secured facility will be good enough. Else, hand over the hardened criminals to the gays for the gay punishment making sure they won’t retaliate back.

Beauty Pageant's Question and Suggested Answer

Question: Legislation banning certain kinds of religious clothing has caused controversy around the world, what role should a government play in determining on such a personal preference?


(Question asked by MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall to Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell, Miss Universe 2010 2nd runner up)


Suggested Answer: Religion to which people are worshipping with reverence, can often be the norm which determine how people will behave or act. On other hand, governments are established for the land or state to maintain progress, peace and order and legislation or laws are created to guide them. Government should always uphold the truth, and always serve for the common good and interest for people. Furthermore, government should be fair and just to its people and should respect their adherence to their faith and some certain beliefs not extreme enough to have adverse effect or impact. Personal choice or preference is a basic human rights that every government should respect and lived by for as long as it does not misrepresent, abuse or negate some certain laws. Government should check, review, scrutinize and revise every legislation they want to pass and implement making sure that it is for the common good and interest, fair and just with respect to human rights, dignity and reputation.
