Kaya, pag di maputi, wag magpaputi, kasi pag uneven, mukang an-an.
Filipina bags Ford Supermodel of the World 2011 title
Danica Flores Magpantay, 17, a UP Fine Arts student, is named Ford Supermodel of the World 2011 on Saturday in New York (Sunday in Manila), thus bagging a $250,000 modeling contract.

Allow me to echo the beautiful, brilliant, and infinitely wise Sarah Meier: Filipinas, enough with the whitening creams already. Just look at Danica and Venus Raj, both dusky and exotic, both gorgeous, and clearly comfortable in their own skin.
So whether you’re mestiza, Chinita, or morena, embrace who you are. Own it.
None of that kutis mayaman bullshit. ‘Di niyo kailangang maging maputi para maging mayaman, at di hamak na mas mahalagang kayamanan ang pagmamahal sa sarili.
Congratulations to Danica, her proud family, and Cal Carrie’s! Mabuhay ang Pinay!
