Vote for our Pinoy Torchbearer for Beijing Olympics 2008~!
I picked up this story from one of my admired bloggers, Pinoyambisyoso.com and found this to be a great cause for all of us Pinoys out there. I wasn’t aware of this until I stumbled upon Pinoyambisyoso’s entry regarding the inclusion of expats in China to bear the torch during the Beijing Olympics 2008. A filipno named Marco Torres is in the running and we need to help him win the votes. According to Pinoyambisyoso, we are lagging far behind in votes from a Columbian national living in China by about 4000 votes.
Kam on mga kabayan, yakang yaka natin i-out vote yan. Kung sa Miss Universe nga lagi tayong Miss Photogenic eh - - eto pa kaya. Let’s vote for our kabayan, Mr. Marco Torres, an ex-pat living in China. The original write-up by Lester Cavestany entitled “Suportahan Ta Ka (Vote for Marcos Torres as a Torchbearer in the 2008 Beijing Olympics)”. Let’s all get on the bandwagon and vote for him. (You should use IE as your browser as I had trouble voting using Firefox)
Fellow bloggers UNITE!! Let’s get him to the top - - the winner will be announced in November and we need to get him there. If you have a blog, I admonish you to blog about Mr. Marco Torres. Let’s show the world we are ONE!
I have never tagged any bloggers but would tag several for this cause. Reyna, Bluep, Bea, Ceefive, Pink Biik, Dom, Chuvaness, Pazing and Diwa. No arm-twisting here. You may or may not blog about this. I just want to spread the word. Thanks fellas!

Mga kababayan ko!
I would like to thank you for the support. Of 349 candidates, we are now at no. 14 with about 2,500 votes. We are getting close to making the Beijing Olympics even more special to Filipinos. After all, bihira lang naman umabot sa Asia ang Olympics.
We have until the END OF OCTOBER TO VOTE. Please forward to all your friends, relatives and countrymen.
Kung magkakaisa ang mga Pinoy, there is no limit to what we can achieve. Maraming salamat muli. Let us keep the torch burning in our hearts!
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Go for Gold!

Chuva!
On behalf of all our fellow Filipinos who believe in this cause, thank you very much for all the help, the support and the encouragement.
More than the winning though, Filipinos being united in spirit and cause ,is what makes this sweet. Actually being chosen is just icing on the cake.
This proud Pinoy truly believes in PINOY POWER. If we can make the likes of ABC apologize for insulting probably the best doctors in the world. Anything else is possible when PINOY POWER is unleashed!
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! Always a proud Pinoy!
Marco

Okay ba ang updates ko? Diba real-time! Para akong si June Keithley nung February 23, 1986 revolution!! Radio Veritas!!
Iniintriga nga tayo nung mga nai-inggit. Sabi nandadaya daw tayo dahil mathematically impossible daw ang 5000 votes in one day. Di lang nila tayo kilala.. diba?
World Class Pinoy talaga!!
