These bad news have overshadowed the good things that have happened during the past days.
GOOD NEWS:
Efren Penaflorida's win: It was supposed to be one of the BIGGEST news that media should have covered. Efren was voted CNN Hero for 2009. He beat 9 other people who are also doing great stuff for humanity. It's just so sad that his victory at the Kodak Theater was overshadowed by the appalling and gruesome events in Maguindanao.
Wesley So at the chess world cup: This chess prodigy defeated a super grandmaster (GM Ivanchuk from Ukraine) and just a few hours ago, beat defending champion, GM Kamsky of the US on their first round match.
Philippine beauties: Miss Philippines was 1st runner-up in the Miss Earth beauty pageant while Mrs. Philippines was a semi-finalist in the Mrs. World beauty pageant.
BAD NEWS:
Maguindanao massacre. Need I say more? truly, one of the most inhumane act of violence. Whoever did this should rot in hell!

Life may be hard for a majority of Filipinos, but definitely, the Filipino spirit will rise above all these circumstances.
Any other good news?
