Congratulations Ejay Falcon of Pola, Oriental Mindoro, 2nd Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus Big Winner. As my blog would show, I am an Atenean who supports Robi and felt really bad that my bet didn't make it. Nevertheless, I would like to commend Ejay for dreaming big and making it big in the Big Brother house. He won the competition and I sincerely hope and pray that he will use his winning pot to advance himself, study hard and prove that he is indeed worth the win. I hope that he will utilize the money to improve the life of his family, send himslef and his siblings to school and become the man that many Filipinos believed on. His life is a good example of how one small man can conquer the universe, giving hope to the millions of poor Filipino youth that nothing is impossible when one strives hard to achieve his goals. It cannot be denied that Ejay, who was raised in a rural area and lacks the excellent educatioinal training was a focus of ridicule because he can barely communicate with English-speaking housemates. He too lacks the urban social attitude (urbanidad) and his point of views, influenced by his rural environment is somehow twisted. Nevertheless, he was declared the big winner and that in itself should serve as a pivot point for his change for the better. I pray that he will serve as a good example not only by dreaming big but also by giving high regard to education that hw himself lacks. CONGRATULATIONS! Strive for MAGIS! Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!
