Finally, there's another Filipino on the cover of Time Magazine. This proves that the Philippines doesn't have to be about politics to become famous or infamous enough to be represented on the cover of a worldwide circulated medium such as Time.

The magazine is still relevant in this age of multimedia. We can still count on having someone represent the goodness of the Filipino spirit showcased on a global platform... even if it means that being chosen to be there spells good business of selling print orders. If that were the case, then it means that a lot of people think of Manny Pacquiao as playing a significant role in the consciousness of many people worldwide.

On a side note, with Miss Saigon being scheduled to be shot as a movie next year, I think that Lea Salonga should have been on the cover of Time Magazine as well after landing her roles for the musical, plus playing Eponine in Les Miserables and doing the musical voices of Jasmine in Aladdin and Mulan in the same titled animation. She should have been the second Filipino to grace the coveted mileage. That's just my opinion.

BASE ba ako? lolz.

i agree... we are in our direst state and news like this really gives us relief. at least, kinikilala pa rin ang galing ng pinoy at hindi lang puro politics. hehe.

salamat pala sa pagdaan sa blog ko. i have a new entry sana mabisita mo. :)

it's really kinda difficult to say I'm proud to be Filipino---but with manny and a few Pinoy who make us proud...we can at least say IM GLAD to be Filipino...and each of us should really do something to make this country proud again~~

I can't blame you for not feeling proud all the time because the media that bombards us with bad news needs to also set spaces for good news. this is why i'm glad that we have something to be proud of. thanks for dropping by.

i think may criteria sila
pero kung ano man na
hindi nakapasok si lea for
a cover e ewan ko na lang.

ngayon ko lang nalaman na
gagawing movie ang saigon.

:D

Malay natin, baka next year si Lea naman ang malagay sa cover ng Time.

Sana hindi matulad sa ibang atleta natin si Manny. Yung ngayon sikat na sikat. Sobrang yaman. Tapos after magretiro, makakalimutan na at magiging mas mahirap pa ang buhay kumpara noong nagsisimula pa lang.

i hope more filipinos will be be featured in TIME. it's not only an honor for a single person but for the whole country as well. kitam! it will be distributed throughout asia.

// kuya, pasensya. ano pala name mo? as of now, i'll address you as kuya random muna. hehe. exchange links?

Lea would be good on the cover too but then the decision boils down to which face will probably generate more money.

oo sana nga mafeature din si lea salonga... may klasmeyt ako na fan na fan niya, na gusto niya din magkaanak sa eded na nagkaanak si lea... wait... parang irrelevant na comment ko...

Nakaka-proud si Manny. Sana huwag na lang siya sumabak sa politka. Panay ang concert niyan sa america ngayon.

it's really nice to know na may mga
taong nakakapuna sa galing ng Pinoy
lalo na yung mga hindi natin kalahi.

pero higit yatang mas masayang malaman
kung ang kapwa mo Pilipino ay
pinagmamalaki ka, hindi ba? :)

ako kaya? kelan ako magiging cover
ng TIME? hahahaha (just to lighten
the mood. hehehehe)

@ dencios: yup pero for sure di na si lea ang gaganap

@ Man In Heat: kaya 'di natin pdeng i-frown upon ang pagreinvent ni manny sa sarili nya (except for still attempting to be a politician) in fields like acting, singing, among others.

@ Poot: sure, i'll include you in my blog roll later

@ Peenkfrink: i hope she can still generate sales for that matter

@ ens: hehe fan nga yang kakilala mo

@ redlan: oo nga balita ko nga may mga singing engagements nga daw sya

@ pam: pwedeeeee... hehe

Time Asia only... GMA and Chin Chin Gutierrez has been featured there before... but anyway, i'm still proud of him, just dont run for any political position.
