Adam Carolla

Damage has been done Adam Carolla! Whatever you say today or tomorrow, however you say your apology, you will forever be known as racist. Filipinos will always label you as the one who is demeaning and an “ignorant fool.” If you don’t know anything about the country, then shut up your mouth.

Saying that Manny Pacquiao is a “f***ing idiot” really crossed the line. I believe you fell short of your dream of becoming a boxer before, then prove it now. Fight Pacquiao in the ring and let us see whose knees would bend. I mean, really bend and twist!

There goes the stupidity of CNN’s Rick Sanchez again! I really dislike the foolish, dumb-acting stunts of Rick Sanchez on his show. Are Sanchez’s viewers kindergartens, that he had to ask questions like, what a 9-meter drop is? Or was his intention to embarrass his guests on live TV?

Who says Pastors could not get a divorce? Huh! Even the most decorated of pastors, like Benny Hinn, can get one. What a slap on the face for Benny Hinn who preaches about the sacrament of marriage being a lifelong union, ending only with the death of one spouse!

Dang! Why should it matter if its black or white!?

There are few TV hosts who I find either annoying or unpleasant to the eye on TV. They may be knowledgeable and good at what they do, but their facial expressions and sometimes actions they perform while hosting their shows just do not fit my taste.

Tony Harris, CNN News Anchor – He frowns all the time. He makes unnecessary grins during interviews with his guests.

This is related to my previous post about Efren Peñaflorida, the CNN Hero of the Year. The event was televised last night and I was on my seat at home, so inspired and proud while watching Efren Peñaflorida receive the major award with teary eyes. He gave a short yet uplifting message, that is to find our heroes within us.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper revealed Peñaflorida’s selection at the conclusion of the third-annual “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute” at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

A Filipino was declared the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year! His name is Efren Peñaflorida. I watched the short video clip with Peñaflorida tonight as CNN reported the winner during the ceremony at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood Saturday night. Congrats!

Efren Peñaflorida won the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year award through online voting (and I voted for this guy last week). According to CNN, Peñaflorida received 2.75 million online votes, the highest among the 10 finalists. He was honored for his “Kariton Klassroom”, which brings education to poor Filipino children.

This is my column for the Collegian this week.

Some of my Filipino friends back home have asked me about how clean Americans are inside the house. I could not answer straight to the point, because the term “clean” is relative: cleanliness in the Filipino perspective could be a far cry from the American viewpoint. If cleanliness is the absence of dirt or offensive odor, then based on the number of American homes I have been into since 2006, Americans do maintain a clean surrounding.
