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!

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

Kagabi nanood ako ng concert para sa selebrasyon ng 60th Anniversary ng Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Humanga ako sa mga bulag na nag-perform ng drums. Bagamat hindi sila nakakakita matalas naman ang kanilang kakayahan tumugtog ng drums. Subalit gawa ng kanilang kapansanan hindi nila nararanasan na tumangkilik ng ibang bagay tulad ng ganda ng isang larawan o kaya malasin at danasin ang kapayapaan dulot ng magandang tanawin. Kung kaya't malaking pasalamat nating mga litratista na kaya nating tangkilikin ang magagandang bagay o kaya i-capture ang mga larawan na nagdudulot sa atin ng kasiyahan.
