we Filipinos always win online voting competitions...be it from Miss Photogenic in Beauty Pageants, or in choosing an Olympic bearer...
this has become a source of national pride to our techno-savvy people...now, we are given another shot at glory...
my friend sent in this entry to Greenpeace for a whale naming competition, out of thousands of entries sent from the world over, hers was chosen among the top 30, and was the only Filipino entry among the 30...
here's the message that she sent me on Friendster: (btw, my friend's name is Karlin Dalena, and she is currently studying at USC-Main...i dont know if you've heard of her)
"guys, there was this greenpeace whale naming competition a couple of
months ago and i joined it... after checking my email after a long
while, i just found out that the name i submitted, "malaya" for
freedom got into the top30... please please please vote for it to help

browsers..."
