Let The Record Show

I am not partisan ... and I call a spade a spade. And there is no iota of envy or jealousy in my body ... what country wins what title annually.

Whoever wins ... is the rightful winner ... no amount of tears you will shed ... or the amount of invectives you will rattle (to make an idiot of yourself) _ will change the fact that the organization has spoken ... and they have made this verdict ... that this and that country is their winner.

Let us make the facts speak ... if you say otherwise ... you are delusional ... a rabid fanatic who doesn't listen to reason.

Lately, our neighbors have been bragging that they are the sleeping dragon of Asia who has recently woken up and that they are the new POWERhouse of Asia whose emPOWERED manPOWER somewhat resembles that of a superPOWER lacking in firePOWER and willPOWER.

Yes, they may have won one title at least ... but is that enough to crow to wake up the whole Asian neighborhood that they are the new champ ... and that they are the new breed of prizewinners needed to pay homage to?

As I said before, let the record speak for itself. If you win only one of the ten contests this October and November ... and bite the dust in the other nine ... you will feel short of becoming the powerhouse you have been dreaming of. 1 of ten records is almost on the periphery of being disastrous - miserable and lamentable.

If you are not consistent with your batting average ... then you are delusional to make that self-proclaimed powerhouse of Asia pronouncements ... making you even the torch bearer of fake news.

As for the Philippines ... they have been consistent in their quest for crowns and titles be it major or minor pageants. If they figure prominently as winners or a regular fixture in runner-up and Top Ten spots... they are second to none as far as placements are concerned.

Let the record show ... and these are the facts. Again ... I reiterate ... if you win in one contest that is not enough. If you clap hard in nine others (making your hand look beet-red) your songs of hallelujah and hosanna are not in sync with your claims.

Claiming that you are the new powerhouse of Asia is a tall order. Consistency is the key ... not blowing one's horns just because of a once-in-a-blue-moon win. Time to lick that humble pie.
