Let's help Mercy win the World

Hello mga Kabihugs!

The time has come again to extend a hand to one of our fellow Kabihugs, Ms. Mercy Malaluan.  I bet most of you are already aware--seeing lots of posts in our wall about this, but just the same, in case you haven't vote, please do it now, and paste the link in your Walls too (if you please) so your other friends could also help.

Here's how:

Please, go to the Miss World Philippines Official Facebook Fanpage here and like it, and then click on Mercy Malaluan's headshot here and click like.  Easy.

Mercy Malaluan is candidate NUMBER 11.


But that's not all, you can also vote (aside from the facebook like) via TEXT and get a chance to win a brand new SMDC Condo unit, nakatulong na tayo, may pag-asa pa tayong magkabahay, win-win!

Please read and follow the instructions below carefully.

Everyone can vote through Facebook , as long as you have a facebook account, but I believe the text messaging applies only when you're in the Philippines (unless of course if your roaming can send text messages).  But despair not, because you can forward the instructions to your loved ones and ask them to participate in the vote.  After all, Mercy carries not only the province of Camarines Norte but most importantly CAPALONGA.

So don't miss out on this chance to be a part of something wonderful...and beautiful!

Calendar of events, for those who want to cheer for Mercy:

Our Pretty Woman

Remember Mercy Malaluan, the girl who put Capalonga on the map by being one of the contestants of Miss Earth 2011?  I heard she even made some places in Capalonga an icon just by standing in it, one example is the road near the Fishport (Dinugmaan) with colorful banners erected at the steep slope; when you see it, Mercy is the first thing that will come to your mind, because she stood there during one of her photo shoots.

Anyway.

Being naturally born beautiful not to mention charming and really exudes femininity, we can't stop her from strutting the catwalk once again, this time as a contestant at Miss World Philippines 2011.

Below are some of her really pretty photos.

Please visit the Ms. World Philippines 2011 website here and like their Official Facebook fan page, there's a votation mechanics that will be published on the 18th of August.  Let's support Mercy once again!

And here's to hoping Mercy will get this fabulous crown and scepter...

Congratulations Mercy, you are already a winner!

New information about our very own music celebrity

Dominic Gumamela, the Independent Artist of Bicol who is a Batang Buhangin is concentrating on his music career and is doing well in penetrating the music industry.  He recently bagged another opportunity to showcase his talent, a 3rd place in the Himig Barangay Para sa Kalikasan Song writing contest last July. 

But that is not all, our Kabihug has been very busy recording songs supporting his advocacy.  And though he's a very busy person, he promised that he's already doing a Capalonga Hymn, something that we could sing in times of trouble and even in times of triumph, something that would remind us of how we all came from and love Capalonga. 

Cheers to that!

Here's the video of the competition, the original title of the song was 'Ingatan ang Kalikasan", later changed to "Isang Bagong Mundo sa Bagong Milenyo." (If I am not mistaken)
