ith close to a thousand, three hundred votes cast as of this writing, the runaway winner 
for our 2009 award is none other than Filipina singing sensation Charice Pempengco.
With 55-percent of the vote, Charice handily outdistanced our first runner-up Efren Peñaflorida who got 13-percent, followed closely by Corazon Aquino and Manny Pacquiao, each garnering 10-percent of the votes cast.
Bringing up the rear in our poll were Gloria Arroyo with four-percent of the vote, and both Jun Lozada, and highly controversial finalist Andal Ampatuan Jr. with two-percent.
Of our seven finalists Charice seems to have truly captured the hearts of the Filipino people. And why not, listening to this young charming seventeen-year-old, one cannot help but be taken in by her charm, and her talent.
One of the first things people notice about Charice is that she is unpretentious. She has no problem letting the world know about her humble beginnings and her struggles growing up in a single-parent household. Unlike local entertainers who immediately put on a façade of sophistication or wealth, this young Filipina with a golden voice has a strong sense of who she is and what she can achieve thus making it unnecessary for her to go out of her way to impress anyone.
Charice is a breath of fresh air for the Philippine entertainment industry. 
An industry which had initially given her short shrift for looking too "Pinay." It took adoring fans from distant shores to jolt locals into the realization that there was real talent here which they should not ignore.
And yes, we realize that Charice may change, fame and fortune has a way of reshaping even the purest of spirits. But for now, we rejoice in the Charice we have—may she always retain that honesty, that sincerity, that love for her craft, and that truly great singing voice that has made her the overwhelming choice for our Person of the Year.

Filipino people have
just about had enough of Miriam Defensor-Santiago. She is loud, arrogant,
and intolerant of anyone but herself. In her Ilongo-accented diatribes
Santiago bullies anyone and everyone she dislikes or who happens not to share
her views. It is somewhat disheartening because Santiago is reasonably smart
and adequately educated—but the minute she opens her mouth, those pluses
just fly out the window.

ongoing impeachment trial of
Chief Justice Renato Corona has brought to light what appears to be a
faulty,
if not patently unconstitutional 1992 En Banc resolution of the Philippine
Supreme Court that effectively ended any public disclosure of the Statements
of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) of any Justice or Judge. Chief
Justice Andres Narvasa’s court in their ruling—A.M. No. 92-9-851-RTC, dated
September 22, 1992—resolved that henceforth all “All requests for copies of
statements of assets and liabilities of any Justice or Judge shall be filed
with the Clerk of Court of the Supreme Court or with the Court
Administrator, as the case may be, and shall state the purpose of the
request.”

Corona impeachment
trial now three days old is turning out to be somewhat of a disappointment.
The
month-long period form December 14, 2011 when the Senators first took their oaths
as Senator-Judges to the January 16 start, only served to heighten
the public’s anticipation for a blockbuster court drama that would play out
live in their livingrooms.
