Do You Really Care if Jessica Sanchez is Included in the Filipino Pride List or Not?
I was just reading an article from my fellow blogger from Iloilo, Philippines, Dave DeWall regarding Charice Pempengco new manager, Courtney Blooding, comments on Twitter. Blodding twitted that she does not feel comfortable about the warm welcome of Filipino-Mexican-American idol 2012 runner-up, Jessica Sanchez to the Philippines. In addition, Blooding twitted that Sanchez should not be included in the Filipino Pride List because she is not really a true blooded Filipino. In addition, she does not speak Tagalog and was not born in the Philippines. There were other reasons listed, but do you really care. I don't care!
I agree that Sanchez is really not a pure blooded Filipino, but she is indeed a Filipino-American. Her mother was born in the Philippines and her father has Mexican ancestry. She grew up with Filipino and Mexican family values.
I believe Blooding comments was based on jealousy. Or perhaps a ploy for advertising for Clarice. Clarice do not need any more advertising. She is a popular singer and is known through out the world.
Thus, Blooding comment is unnecessary and uncalled for. I will definitely add Sanchez name in my list of Filipino-American Pride. Currently, I am writing a series on famous Filipino-American in the fields of entertainment, sports, science, medicine, politics and philanthropy.
In case you have not heard, The American Idols top ten Live Tour of 2012 is now in Manila. What do you think? Comments appreciated.

Hi Tito Nonoy, how are you? This is Beboy, your nephew. :)
Yep, I agree. Aside from being jealous, Blooding sees Jessica Sanchez as a big threat. She knows that Jessica is a potential competitor because she is equally talented and appealing like Charice.
Instead of making such unnecessary comments, Blooding should see it as a great opportunity in letting her ward work with Jessica, let's say, make an all-star album or do worldwide tours together. Many great singers had done this before. It's good for business and for everyone's career including that of Blooding's as well.
Aside from being jealous, Blooding sees Jessica Sanchez as a big threat to Charice. She knows that Jessica is full of talent and she's massively appealing as well.
Inside of seeing Jessica as a competition, why don't she try to work out that the two great talents work together in a collaborative album and do some concert tours together. It's good for business as well as for everyone's career including that of Blooding's as well.
Hi Beboy. I am so happy to hear from you. Your comments are excellent and I agree. I hope all is well with you. Keep reading my blogs. Love You! Regards to the family!
A must read and understand... so we stop questioning Pinoy pride.
World Bank: Philippines is the 4th
biggest remittance recipient in 2010.
According to the report:
1.) India amounted to $55 billion
2.) China with $51 billion,
3.) Mexico with $22.6 billion
4.) Philippines with $21.3 billion.
Philippines is the smallest nation
compared to the first 3 mentioned above.
To our Kababayans, this is the
collective accomplishment of Filipinos
abroad that you can be proud of. We are
here to help our nation's economy, so we deserved to be recognized as Filipinos no matter what.
When the first Filipino, our very great grandfather who first set
his foot to the foreign land many many
years ago (if only he is alive
today) will be very happy and proud to know that his prayers were answered, that one day those Pinoys whom he referred to as his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, who will follow his footsteps, will achieve huge success and recognition world wide.
Jessica Sanchez is just one of the answer to
his prayers, his big dreams...his vision...coupled with courage and
sacrifices...
So please welcome Jessica home with open mind, open arms and loving hearts.
Only God knows what is her purpose and mission in life that will benefit poor nations around the world like The Philippines.
Filipinos should not compare Jessica Sanchez to our finest song artist in the Philippines like Lea Salonga, SarahG, Charice, Arnel Pineda, and many more. Please stop, just look at your 10 fingers for a minute, none of them are the same...why? they all have different purpose; so as your idols, they have different purpose in life. They all started to do charity works, then with the addition of an American Grammy Apl.de.ap, charity begins to grow better. Hmmm... so God gave us an American Idol sweetheart, Jessica Sanchez, and now we just have to wait and give her time to grow.
This young lady bumped into good people like David Foster, George Clooney,Katy Perry, Apl.de.ap and many more, who are into big charity works. so she is on the right path to pursuing it big to make the difference.
Let's pray Apl.de.ap can create a song with Jessica, in collaboration with other finest song artist in the Philippines; a song that the world will embrace to feed the poor not only in the Philippines but poor nations around the world.
guys, you never heard of "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John? that sold about 3.5 million copies of CDs in first week alone and 37 million copies in 4 months of that year 1997, multiply that with $12 per copy, that's tons of money! That was extraordinary!!! that until now lots of poor people around the world are benefiting from it.
I actually bought ten of that CD's to support, and when i learned about the huge sale of it, i was telling everyone that i hope and pray this can happen in the Philippines, because that is exactly what we need to elevate the poor once and for all in our country.
Have a vision and a dream for a change for your kababayans who are less fortunate than you are... this was my hope and dream since 1997???
So, let's support Jessica so she can achieve huge success. The bigger she gets, the faster she can accomplish her mission, and her journey will be smooth, fun and just wonderful! because you are part of it.
MABUHAY!
