    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:

    pinay scandal???

    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.

    Marikina’s Historical Places and Events
    Part 1: Shoe Museum

    The author was the headwriter of the souvenir booklet of one of the city’s festivities where these historical bits were published.

    Marikina is indeed an interesting place with an even more interesting history. The then Marikina Mayor Bayani F. Fernando, now Chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority [MMDA], a true-blooded marikeño whose passion for the city is overwhelming, traced and marked the history places of the city so everyone can marvel how Marikina came to be.

    Join me in in walking down the steps of my beloved city’s memory lane…

    Hacienda de Mariquina, A Noble Estate
    The History of Marikina and the Ancestral Clans

    From Mariquina to Marikina… from a family hacienda to a highly-urbanized city.

    The Hacienda de San Isidro de Mariquina, so named by the Jesuits to affirm the dignity of labor and to enlist the cooperation of workers, was one of the biggest land estates in the Philippines at the end of the 1700’s. It gained prominence when it was declared a mayorazgo (noble estate) on August 20, 1794, by the order of the King of Spain. Another 80 years, the mayorazgo came under the administration of an intelligent, strong-willed Marikeña known in History as Doña Teresa dela Paz.

    The noble estate, created to “defend and sustain the privileges which His Majesty has been pleased to grant me… and to show my gratitude for such a unique favor…” was the brainchild of Don Antonio Tuazon of Binondo, a chineze mestizo who made his fortune through the Galleon Trade. Don Antonio was elevated to the Spanish nobility by Royal Decree for his services to the Spanish Crown, first against the English invaders of Manila (1762-64) and laterm the Moslems. Thus, his name was changed from Son Tua to Tuason. But he soon died to benefit from the mayorazgo.
