You have to realize that while maybe there were a majority of Filipinos who voted for Efren for CNN Hero of the Year, it probably never really occurred to you that many others were inspired by his story and voted for him & forwarded emails about his story. Maybe even campaigning for him for than some/most Filipinos. Who says that it was the doing of just Filipinos? Why disrespect the ladies who won Miss Photogenic by accusing their countrymen of massive voting even if "they didn't deserve it"? Maybe there are those who actually voted for Miss Philippines or maybe she WAS the most Photogenic. No need to degrade them for the sake of your Filipino pride. Charice's single didn't make it to the top just because of Filipinos. Not all Filipinos even like/support Charice. In fact, there are many little Filipino crabs who choose to "hate" her because she's famous now. The reason why Charice made it to the number one spot in Amazon, iTunes, and so forth, was not because of only Filipinos, but rather massive exposure. She debuted her first single on Oprah, the most influential and most richest woman in the world. If Filipinos were the main contributors or the ones who were ready to buy her single, then why did her debut single peak @ no. 2 on iTunes Portugal? Surely, not all Filipinos residing in Portugal couldn't have bought that single. I don't even think there is a massive amount of Filipinos living in Portugal. This is not to bash you or to demoralize you, but please, don't be too prideful. Filipinos aren't the reason why these people have been recognized throughout the world. It is credited to so many people, not just their own countrymen. It’s not JUST Filipinos who have contributed.
