Follow-up article on the post Pinay Scandal… In the Mind of Pinays. If you know Filipinas who are worth appreciating and featurng in this website, please email it to marikenya@yahoo.com. Please include photos with your article. Together, we can show the world that Pinays should not be associated with Scandals.
Everyday, I see greatness of Filipino people (no matter what they say that our nation and society is bombarded with negativities). Specifically, I admire and love Filipina women (not only because I am one) for having values that every Filipino, men and women alike, should be proud of.
My Pinay heroine for today is Julie M. Borje (without any salutation of Ms. or Dir. in her name because she is so modest she just wanted everyone to address her as such). Her name is becoming popular these days because she was appointed as chairman of the Board of Jurors and Selection/Screening Committee for the Metro Manila Film Festival for 2007. If you google her name in the internet, you will find in the search results, aside from the MMFF, links on the various projects and programs she was involved with locally and internationally.
Julie Borje is currently the director of the Marikina Center for Excellence. She is my mentor and who I consider my kernel of power in the institution where we belong. She once told me during a time that I was terribly upset with some people in the organization: “Your inspiration should come from within you, not from others so you won’t get lost and frustrated when your models do something bad.â€ÂÂ

Pinay Scandal… in the Mind of Pinays
Pinay Scandal… Indeed is searchable in the internet today because of the magnanimous information containing malicious contents. Websites are selling Filipinas, and sadly, for sex and porn.
Just an hour ago, before I read this blog by marhgil, I was thinking of putting in my site the words “proudly marikenya†because I thought, as a Filipina, I’m a proud Pinay but locally, I’m a proud Marikina girl. Thinking of those porn links that will pop out of google when you type the words pinay scandal… should I think twice before I proclaim myself as a proud pinay?
I don’t think so. I’m a proud Filipina, period.
No ill-minded and ruthless porn website owners could make think otherwise. Although in the mind of many, especially in the mind of those horny and horrific males, pinays are associated with scandals and porn flicks, I still stand with my belief that nobody, even the world wide web, can tarnish and diminish the integrity of Filipinas.
Last month, I was searching in the internet for successful Filipinas since it was the assignment of my nephew. I was dumbfounded that there is no website or articles in the result that directs me to my key words! See the result of my search in this screenshot:
It’s so disgusting that when you use the word Pinay or Filipina, the search engine would produce links to porn and dating sites but not on articles or sites that proclaim and dignify Filipino women.
I hope that this blog and the blog of marhgil would serve as an eye opener to us all Filipinos to do something about “us.†Let us stop fornicating our culture and our Filipina women. There’s so much about Pinays that is worth celebrating and honoring.
From now on, I would write and post more in my blog about stories of successful Pinays. Let’s see if my posts would make it to the search engines.
