ever wondered what made Precious Lara Quigaman win this year's pageant? it's in the question & answer portion. it's not your usual world peace rhetoric.
excerpt:
Question: "What do you say to the people of the world who have typecasted
filipinos as nannies?"
Answer: "I take no offence on being typecasted as a nanny. But I
do take offence that the educated people of the world have somehow
denegrated the true sense and meaning of what a nanny is.
Let me tell you what she is. she is someone who gives more than
she takes. She is someone you trust to look after the very people
most precious to you - your child, the elderly, yourself. She is the
one who has made a living out of caring and loving other people.
So to those who have typecasted us as nannies, thank you. It is a testament to the loving and caring culture of the Filipino people.
And for that, I am forever proud and grateful of my roots and
culture."

October 17th, 2005 01:19 PM #9hmmm...ano ba itsura nitong si Lara Quigaman? i can't find a decent pic online...
btw, may pagka-bastos din tong pageant committee na gumawa ng mga questions ha...why give the stereotype a voice by asking that idiotic ambush-style question on an international stage? did they ask the african beauty queens how they would feel if someone called them nig**rs?
sana napahiya ng kahit konti tong mga to nung narining nila yung sagot ni Ms. Quigaman.

October 17th, 2005 02:02 PM #13beauty and brains.
pero sabi ng officemate ko expected na raw ganyang tanong sa mga filipina contestants (but as domestic help and not as a nanny) and in any case, the same answer will apply.

October 17th, 2005 02:34 PM #18totoo ba ito? I belive this is not true at all, bakit hinde na dyaryo? kasi ang alam kong tanong sa mga contestant is kung ano ang gagawin nila or wish yata if they win the crown, si lara lang yata ang sumagot ng gagawa siya ng foundation pra sa mga bata..and the other contestant answered that they want world peace or something...
I might be wrong though....

October 17th, 2005 07:24 PM #20I think it's a good question. buti nga Nanny eh... hindi DH (which is more accurate). It's harder to justify cleaning other people's toilet bowls as a government-encouraged employment option. If anything, I think our government should do everything in it's power to give our mothers and sisters better options here at home. It's not like they are seamen and engineers in the middle east who "race with the horses".
I'll be honest. I am not proud that an archaic dictionary defines a Filipina as a domestic helper. I'm not callous. It hurts.
btw, a line has been ommited from her statement, she said "atleast we are not like the Russians who are known for exporting prostitutes, bow".
hehehe... joke. I think she is very pretty and really smart. She's a natural spin doctor.Last edited by bad driver; October 17th, 2005 at 07:28 PM.
