Annoyed because it took over 2 weeks, a lot of internet buzz and hordes of bloggers for GMA-7 the no.1 television channel in the Philippines to finally take notice of his campaign and finally feature him on the news. In addition, I'm peeved not to see any articles, features or at least a text line in GMA-7 TV's website about his campaign given the significance of Marcos' campaign. Not since the 1960's has there been a Filipino Olympic Torch bearer. This is the first time a Filipino will get recognition in actively participating for the Olympics 2008. Frankly because it has been ages since the Philippines won an Olympic gold.If I'm not mistaken, the time to vote is over and the votes has all been counted since the first week I blogged about Marc ...

It may be because my mind tries to think subjectively by keeping the Olympics sports separate from any political goings-on around the world. Which is the only fair thing to do in my mind. I have been hunting forums and discussions online defending the Olympics, sports and the athletes from the people who choose to use the Olympics as leverage in convincing China to act or intervene on behalf of a foreign country... virtually blackmailing China.Let me clarify that I do feel that the violence in Myanmar is horrible to say the least. This statement I make as a human and as a person who lives in a democratic country. I do feel the citizens of the world have the right to have their say and feel about the killings in Myanmar but it should end there.
