Filipinos Salute Barack Obama and Wish Him All the Best

n a few hours Barack Obama will take his oath of office President Barack Obama standing by the Nation's Capitolas the 44th President of the United States. The first non-white to ever hold that office. The fulfillment of what Martin Luther King spoke about when on the 28 August 1963 he stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial and told the world "I have a dream."

For most Americans, this is the dawn of a new day. A time when America can once again regain its footing and lead the world in peace and prosperity. To paraphrase President Kennedy: the torch has once again been passed to a newer generation of Americans. The Obamas: Michelle, Malia Ann, Barack, and SashaAmericans who are ready and willing to face the future and see great opportunities in preserving the planet for future generations to enjoy.

Filipino-Americans, as well as Filipinos everywhere rejoice as Barack Obama, takes his oath of office. From Charise Pempengco who received a standing ovation for her rendition of 'God Bless America' in one of the pre-inaugural balls, to White house Chef Cristeta Comerford who will be preparing the first family's meals, we wish the new president 'all the best.'

Efren Penaflorida is another kind hero in his own right, more especially for the out-of-school youth. He should serve as a model to all in the teaching profession. Education is still the best thing one could ever had in a lifetime. The Philippines is a small country but many people, like Efren, makes us proud to be Filipinos. Mabuhay ang lahing Pilipino! More power to Efren!

Indeed, Philippines will need someone like Efren. I greatly admire and congratulate Efren and his colleagues for taking this challenging. leap. This very worthwhile humanitarian voluntary action should be mirrored by others specially the "politicians". The nation can only prosper and change if there are more EFRENS. Honesty, humility, caring attitude, respect and patience are values that Filipinos should revisit, relearn and internalize... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EFREN..

Efren Penaflorida deserves all the accolades, praises, given him by the participants in the PNL Forum. He truly is a unique person with a unique way of helping the needy. I pray that CNN gives him the Hero award. The people here in the Forum deserve some kind of recognition, as well, from us. Their concern about the country and our needy kababayans is a big help. Gintong Lahi (Rufinol), Duenas Worldwide (Rey Laua), HOPE (Gloria Earl), IMSFI, to name a few groups that have been trying to help our poor kababayans. There are many other groups, PNL posters, that are trying to help. They don't wait for a "calamity" to occur. They just help as best they could. I just want to recognize these PNL posters. You are all great!

It is well known that the government performs detailed background clearances on immigrants as part of the green card application process.
