Noemi is not happy with the internet search result for the word Filipina. The blogger is urging fellow bloggers from Philippines to collectively beat the porn and smut marketers by actively using the keyword on their blogs and linking them to non-porn sites

Lawyer and blogger raymiyatake expresses his doubts [ja] over the election of Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). First, he says, Amano was supported by only 23 nations out of 35. Second, he points out the difficult situation that the Agency is dealing with, at present, and the “unfairness” of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which should be applied also to the five members already recognized as possessing nuclear power. Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).
This year is Mobile Suit Gundam's 30th birthday.

Thanks for spreading the campaign. It’s not to totally put down these sites. We want equal opportunity to be placed in the “Filipina” search engine results.
Why in the world would any female (pinay or not) object to being called sexy? I would imagine it is one of the most ultimate of compliments!
Yes, geo marshall, that’s so true. Many of us, Filipinas, want to be called sexy but we want the word sexy to encompass the totality of the person and not just the physical, as is often referred to - and most certainly not what the smut purveyors want to portray.
Thanks, global voices online, for featuring this. This post is now number 2 on search results for sexy filipina.
thanks for being with us in our Campaign. albeit slowly, we hope to fully reclaim the clean image of the Filipina!
