First Filipina to run in Korean Assembly


I came across this news from buhaykorea and I will post it here as well. This is a significant milestone for Filipinas and the rest of foreign women married to Koreans. Indeed the Korean society is changing a great deal. The birth rate is increasing and a significant portion of the increase is coming from multicultural families. I do hope to see Judith Alegre Fernandez fulfilling the agenda she set for her platform. I created a particular blog about this trend focused on Filipino-Korean families, but have not updated on a regular basis I call the blog Kosians.

Here is an excerpt of the news:

The Creative Korea Party recommended Judith Alegre Fernandez (37) as proportional representation for the general election held in April. A new chapter is expected to open in Korean political history as recognizing electoral eligibility of migrants.

Moon Kook-hyun, the leader of the party, talked about the significance of this recommendation on the phone interview with IBMK. Criticizing that existing parties had been obsessed with nepotism and selfishness, he said that the Creative Korea Party would succeed with realistic politics for the future by overcoming an old-fashioned political framework.

Happy Birthday Buddha!

Image
Well my blog is becoming a foto blog. I can't resist but capture the colors and scenes around after the dreary, snowless, and cold winter is a profusion of colors and the freshness of greens. This is the scene at the park now. Colorful lanterns adorn the pathway - to enlighten seekers of truth, maybe? Trees are full of flowers soon they will disappear. But, they are here to stay a bit to be offered as bouquet or tree of flowers for Buddha on his birthday. Flowers and Lanterns at the 518 Park

Ihip ng Hangin - Saranggola ni Pepe

Image
Matayog ang lipad ng saranggola ni Pepe Matayog ang pangarap ng matandang bingi Hinuli ang ibon, pinagsuot ng pantalon Tinali ng pisi, hindi na nagsinturon Dumaan ang jeepney at gumuhit pa sa kalye Mauling ang iniwang hindi na tinabi Nay...nay...nay...nay... (Awit ni Celeste Legaspi) This photo was taken last 5th of May, Children's Day of Korea, it was a holiday so the park was teeming with children and their parents. It was windy so kites made their presence on the sky. But it was the adults (their dad) who enjoyed flying kite the most, it was them who controlled the kite's thread to keep it afloat. So some of the kids were protesting to have the chance to play with the the kite. I am so glad to find this video from You Tube since it is children related as well. The music was performed by a children's choir (kids of Overseas Filipino Workers) based in Jeddah, KSA. Read the comments made by the owner of the video. I hope that these children understand and appreciate ...
