5 Facts about Loida Nicholas Lewis who wants President Duterte to resign

Along with the prominent members of the Liberal Political Party, Filipino-American Philanthropist Loida Nicholas-Lewis is now calling for the Philippine President to resign from office immediately. She cites that the present administration has been generating worldwide concern to the aftermath of extrajudicial executions. Lewis is extremely concerned that there will be more lives at stake while the current Duterte administration continues to surface their campaign to drive away users and distributors of illegal narcotics all over the country. 
 
However, Lewis denies that she was responsible for plotting against Rodrigo Duterte from his office, which is contrasting rumors that she is one of the persons of interests who is now planning for establishing a new group to ouster the president. There is nothing in her vocabulary that she wanted the president to be ousted forcefully from his presidential table. This is because Loida Nicholas-Lewis believes in the process of Democracy. The Philippines is under a republic political system where it allows its constitutional procedures to be followed using a transparent and fair approach.

Loida Nicholas-Lewis is just one of several Filipino-American personalities who are expressing their concerns regarding the advocacy of the current Filipino administration with response to public safety and management. More and more interest groups participate in order to express their concern about the latest extrajudicial incidents happening in their home country. Some of these areas are in Belfast, New York, Sydney, London, Paris, and among others. 
 
President Rodrigo Duterte promised during the Philippine National election campaign that he vows to clean the country's crime rates. The main focus is to drive away who are using, distributing, and trafficking illegal narcotics anywhere in the country. The president estimated that there are at least three million individuals who are involved in the use and regulation of illegal narcotics. Now that he is elected as the President of the Republic of the Philippines, his advocacy regarding the war on illegal narcotics are now rampant across the country. 
 
Aside from Loida Nicholas-Lewis, international human rights groups are also calling for the stop with the brutal advocacy of the Philippine government with regards to their public safety management. This is a concern with the international laws, which might risk the safety of the Philippine residents. However, President Duterte assures that after this campaign, the Philippines will transform as one of the most peaceful countries in the world wherein any individual will not have to worry about walking along the street in the middle of the night. This is because the majority of negative elements of the law are bombarded by the possession and under the influence of prohibited narcotics.

Indonesia is also helped by Filipino pageant mentors to boost their confidence by showing a great catwalk skills, personality development, and a strong stage presence. Kezia can guarantee a spot in top 10 during the finals night of the competition with her consistent and competitive stage presence.

Her sweet aura with a magnetic stage presence can quickly generate thousands of followers and admirers.

This neighboring country of the Philippines is still hoping for their second placement in Miss Universe pageant through Kiran Jassal. This candidate is obviously charming with a regal pageant aura. If Miss Universe Organization will announce for an additional special award, she could be the recipient of "Miss Creamsilk" award with her noticeably wavy and smooth hair. Kiran has been training for months to achieve an optimum Miss Universe caliber, which could break the urban legend for Malaysia's long-term denial to penetrate the semi-final's spot.

Kristal is already pageant ready, equipped with a great catwalk skills, strong stage presence, and eye capturing facial beauty. She can be considered as one of the strongest delegates in this year's edition of Miss Universe that every pageant fanatics should watch out.

There are three reasons why Maxine will never fail her Filipino and foreign pageant fanatics. One is that it will be the home court advantage, in which she is the most favored candidate in this edition of Miss Universe. Miss Universe Organization, businesses, and foreign pageant fanatics are yet to experience the ultimate sound of roaring fans everywhere across the Philippines, making it as a potential advantage. Second is her full package training and conditioning wherein she has been working hard in personality workshops, fitness training, and catwalk improvement. And third, she is carrying a very strong sash because the reigning Miss Universe is Pia Wurtzbach from the Philippines as well as her colleagues never stop winning international pageant crowns year-by-year.

The land of smiles could further widen their mouth and jump with joy for Chalita's placement.

Chalita's presence could make a promising achievement, replicating her predecessor last year. Thailand is equipped with a superb team of beauty pageant experts who are providing her with the essential elements to fulfill their country's dream of transforming her into an ultimate caliber candidate.

During Miss USA national pageant, Deshauna was regarded an underdog. But when she surfaced in front of the judges, they never expected her to show an immense strong stage presence, which is her main weapon that made her the ultimate winner that will represent the United States for Miss Universe. Off-stage, her humility can transform into a "girl next door" type of woman. But when she comes out on stage, spectators usually will suffer from her unexpected sonic boom aura that could push anyone backwards, making her a stand out.

Either you like her or hate her, she is probably the most prepared contestant than any candidate for this edition of Miss Universe that Venezuela has been preparing for. Mariam is the hope of inspiration for Venezuelans who can light a candle that can spark a hope and inspiration to her country's political and economic chaos. Mariam has already been trained even before winning Miss Venezuela national pageant in her country. Her vibe is similar to Gabriela Isler and there is no reason for her to win her country's 8th crown during the conclusion of the pageant night.

The last time that Vietnam placed was in 2008. Last year, Vietnam though they could repeat the same scenario but failed. She is a fashion model and already made several runway walks, which can help her brush the runway when she will be vying for the top spot during the preliminaries. But this year, there is a new hope for this nation to penetrate this year's semi-finalist spot. Dang could even overshine last year's performance through her exquisite oriental beauty to the audience and pageant analysts. The only thing about her is about the catwalk.

DARK HORSES: Ladies that can replace favorites  
 
<ul>
<li>PANAMA: She is an experience delegate, which can make a promising placement if any of the top favorite ladies fail to deliver a stellar performance. The preliminary competition is the only way she could elevate herself to reveal her true competitiveness by hammering her skills in catwalk, poise, and presentation to the audience. </li>
<li>RUSSIA: This lady is underrated by many. Her unique facial structure makes it interesting for her to utilize it and can maximize as her main weapon to penetrate the semifinals. Watch out for her during the preliminary competition. </li>
<li>CROATIA: One of the most facially alluring delegates in this year's batch. Her regal beauty can make an advantage to enter the semifinalist round of the competition. Keep in mind that if there are others who did not perform well especially during the preliminaries, this delegate will succeed. </li>
<li>NICARAGUA: She is fresh, charming, and regal. However, she should show more fierceness and not just about displaying her beauty. If she could materialize all expectations during the course of the pageant, it will not be a surprise if she will out-shadow several favorite delegates in this competition.</li>
<li>ECUADOR: This Latin American country is also gaining momentum year after year. If she will play her cards well, she can obviously make it to the top. She is trained, prepared, and ready to showcase her pageantry skills to prove that the selected favorites will be out shined. </li>

Is the world ready for a transgender to join Traditional Beauty Pageants?

In the 21st century, beauty pageants are now starting to evolve into a whole new level. This time, the members of the transgender community are starting to break the odds when some of them decided to join traditional beauty pageants. Female transgenders are now slowly penetrating traditional beauty pageant contests by trying to join as contestants. There are notable personalities who already joined traditional beauty pageant contestants even though they were born in a different gender. For this issue, is the world really ready for a transgender contestant for a traditional beauty pageant? 
 
One notable beauty pageant that allows any members of the transgender community to join traditional beauty pageant is the Miss Universe annual international beauty pageant. In 2012, Donald Trump made a historic revamp in the rules of Miss Universe to allow transgenders to participate in Miss Universe. This is to promote diversity with regards to gender preference issues in the field of beauty pageantry. Miss Universe seeks to empower diversity by allowing transgender communities to participate in the annual international beauty pageant. The latest action of Miss Universe just made a breakthrough for the transgender community to become more inspired and empowered in the field of a beauty pageant.

Miss Universe is the only known mega-pageant to allow transgenders to participate along with the natural born female contestants. Other major international beauty pageants are yet to announce their decision sometime in the future with regards to either consideration or exclusion of transgenders. These are Miss International, Miss World, Miss Earth, Miss Grand International, Miss Supranational, and Miss Intercontinental. 
 
Transgender is one of the classifications that make up the LGBT (Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community. The term transgender is referred to as an individual who identifies self as the opposite of their biological gender. There are two types of transgenders. The most common type is the male transgender, in which people who were born biologically as male transitioned into a female that suits their gender identity. On the other hand, male transgenders are individuals who were born as a female but transitioned to a male. 
 
Being a transgender is a challenging process for an individual who is suffering from gender identity disorder. These individuals suffered intense bullying, discrimination, and segregation at schools where people see themselves as different from the crowd. The intensity of hatred towards transgenders is so intense that some transgenders end up being executed by a person or group who hates any members of the LGBT community. In conservative countries, being a member of LGBT is regarded as a criminal act, which further escalates the threat of harm, especially towards the members of the transgender community.

Linda Rey was rumored to join Miss Universe 2016 that will be held in the tropical islands of the Philippines in January of 2017. She is said to represent Italy in the upcoming mega-pageant that will feature the exotic paradise of the Philippines during the course of the pageant. If this issue will confirm that the rumor is true, Linda will be making history as the first transgender to represent their country and join a traditional beauty pageant competition. Basically, Linda will defy the odds as the first transgender that you can see in major beauty pageants.

Sorry, but the rumor is false: Linda Rey is not an official candidate for Miss Universe Italy 2016. If you look at her sash, it is "Miss Universe Transexual" 2016 and not Miss Universe Italy 2016 beauty pageant, which is a local transsexual pageant. This is not a national pageant that was claimed by the sources. Miss Universe Italy 2016 is yet to be crowned this year, or appointed by the Italian franchise holder of Miss Universe Italy that will travel to the Philippines next month. Linda will neither travel nor have any plans coming to the Philippines anytime soon.

Jenna was born as Walter and then went into a full hormonal replacement until she underwent a gender reassignment procedure. She is now 26-years-old as of 2016 and still eligible to join for any beauty pageants. However, one of the contestants outed her as a transgender during the course of Miss Canada Universe beauty pageant in 2012.

 After one of the contestants outed her as transgender, Miss Canada Universe organization deliberated her case and then disqualified her, which made her case viral over mass media. When Donald Trump discovered the issue about the controversies in Miss Canada Universe, he immediately revamped the rules of Miss Universe Organization, stating that it now allows any transgender candidate to participate in Miss Universe beauty pageant, provided that they will win their national pageant that will gain their right to represent their country. Jenna Talackova was reinstated and then ended up as one of the top 12 finalists of Miss Universe Canada in 2012.

Miss California pageant organizers do not have any problem with the participation of Kylan Wenzel as one of the 229 contestants. Kylan's participation proves to the society that Miss California is now ready to advocate diversity regardless of race, gender preference, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. In the future, Jenna and Kylan will no longer be the only transgenders who will break the odds for joining traditional beauty pageants. We expect to witness similar scenarios in the future as there are next generation transgenders who will attempt to participate in traditional beauty pageants in the near future. 
 
As an implication of this issue, the world is getting more and more diverse. There are numerous transgenders who are slowly accepted in our society. Local and international organizations are now starting to recognize the participation of some transgenders to a certain event. One example is when a transgender is then allowed to participate in traditional female beauty pageants. Sometime in the future, male transgenders will also participate in male pageants, creating a historic mark for some beauty pageant organizers. 
 
The magic question: Since there are past transgenders who were allowed to join in previous traditional pageants, are you ready for another transgender to participate in traditional beauty pageants?

5 Facts why Vice-President Leni Robredo quits her cabinet post as HUDCC chairwoman

There are several political pressures that are now piling up towards the Philippine Vice-president Leni Robredo. She is now in the headlines after quitting her post as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council of the Philippines (HUDCC).

During a press conference, Rodrigo Duterte called Leni Robredo in front of the media to appoint her as one of his cabinet members. This is to fill the chairmanship of HUDCC government agency. Leni started another responsibility for monitoring, analyzing, processing, and deciding all affairs that will be materialized by the HUDCC agency.

5 Facts why Vice-President Leni Robredo quits as HUDCC chairwoman</div>
 
1. She received a text message, ordering her to stop attending cabinet meetings: On the night of December 4, 2016, Leni Robredo received a text message from Secretary Jun Evasco, ordering her to stop attending Cabinet meetings. After receiving the text message, Leni Robredo immediately sent a resignation to the Office of the President, stating that barring her from future cabinet meetings will make it impossible for her to fulfill her responsibility as the chairwoman of HUDCC. The Office of the President then accepted Leni Resignation's offer. 
 
2. Growing pressure from the Duterte administration: It is clear that being a part of the Liberal Party Political list is a challenge for the vice-president Leni Robredo ran under the Liberal Political Party that was dominated by the previous administration headed by Mar Roxas. Rodrigo Duterte administration is currently dominated by the PDP-Laban (Partido Demokratido Pilipino- Lakas Laban) Political Party. These are the new arch-rival political parties in the Philippines as it is currently ran by the past administration and the current administration.

3. To further secure her vice-presidential post: Months after the election, Bong Bong is still hoping for a news to grant his request for a recount for the vice-presidential polls. Leni Robredo wants to ensure that her vice-presidential post will not be overtaken by a third party. This is because she already received several reports that there are outsiders who are planning to oust her as the vice-president of the Philippines. It is not sure if the rumors or reports received by her staff is credible enough to threaten her professional career. 
 
4. Vice-President is a heavy responsibility: Being elected as the vice president of a nation is a challenging job. You are the second head of state, which is the next-in-line to apply power over your territorial jurisdiction. It will be a more challenging task if a vice-president is given another post that will share time and effort for Leni Robredo to divide her responsibilities. This will be the time for her to maximize her duties and powers as the vice-president, which can make her more efficient and reliable public official for the Philippines.

5. Citing political differences: Leni Robredo is a silent critic of President Rodrigo Duterte. There are plentiful issues that she objects with some of Duterte's political platforms. This is in particular with the issue in human rights. Leni cites that the rise of extra-judicial executions by the police department and vigilant groups are causing fear and havoc across the country. Leni also objected the Supreme Court's decision to bury former President Ferdinand Marcos. Leni Robredo joined the protest rally against the burial of Marcos. 
 
Prior to becoming as the Philippine Vice-President, Leni Robredo was a regional trial court judge in Bicol region. In 2013, Leni ran for congress for the 3rd district of Camarines Sur and became a representative of the district between 2013 and 2016. During her congressional years, Leni was appointed as the head of Liberal Party in the Bicol region. Here alliance with the Liberal Party was the reason why supporters of Rodrigo Duterte often criticize her. Supporters lamented against her political views that are mostly in contrast with Rodrigo Duterte's ideology.
