Cebuana Lhuillier launched this contest called “Search for the Happiest Pinoy” in celebration of its anniversary of something. The mechanics is fairly simple: if you are “constantly cheerful, optimistic, has the ability to rise above life’s challenges, and has a positive impact on other people’s lives,” then you are qualified for this contest. Well, I have to admit, it’s more complicated than just saying that. I mean, how do you exactly quantify happiness, right? Well, the people responsible for this have these specific steps/procedures/mechanics:
- A 50-sentence essay is required for each nomination, describing the life story of the nominee, exceptional traits or character, what makes him or her constantly cheerful and optimistic, events in his or her life that demonstrated inner strength and resilience, and how the person made a positive impact on the lives of those around him or her.
- A screening committee will select the top 20 from all entries received by September 15.
- A selection committee and board of judges will then choose the top five finalists for interview.
- The “Happiest Pinoy” will be named and awarded P200,000 plus a plaque on September 30.
- The four runners-up will each receive P25,000 and a plaque.
So, there. Guys, I know one of you in my sidebars is super qualified to join. And I am sure the 50-sentence essay can easily be done. If you are interested, forms can be obtained from Lhuillier branches nationwide, or downloaded from its website, www.happiest-pinoy.com. Oh, sorry, you cannot nominate yourself. People nominating themselves will automatically be disqualified. Hehehe. So, ask another happy friend to nominate you, and return the favor. :-)
And by the way, this is not a paid post; but if Cebuana Lhuillier people are reading this, I don't mind receiving a percentage of the prize -- Paypal remittance will do. Nyahaha! :-)

and i just wrote about being devoid of enthusiasm...lol. i don't think i'm the happiest pinoy, but i'd like to read about that noodles scam.
Noodle scam? Anu yun?
Sobrang busy ako about that "other" scam galing kay Banana Man. May glowing balls din ba yun? hehe
ako! ako! pwede ako dyan! he! he! nominate mo ako! [joke!]
but this is a good contest, because they say, crisis or no crisis, Filipinos are one of the happiest bunch of people on earth!
yeah, there's so much happening around. even the overexposure Katrina Halili-Hayden Kho scandal.
so you must have challenges in your life but still be happy? that's an unfair criteria. What about those who are "unfortunate" not to have those tests of "inner strength and resilience" but truly happy and have positive impact around them?
haha. i guess i can't join. criteria pa lang, reklamo na. :)
nako hindi ako mananalo dito in a million years. i am the musang from the underworld. pamangkin ni hades at child of darkness. LOL
bah. even if you're the happiest pinoy but don't know how to express it wittily in words useless din. :P
I didn't know about this. Aside from the video scandal, I'm more surprised with Erap's plan of running again. Most of my relatives are Erap and Marcos loyalists.
Kayni at Rico
>noodle scam... that scam where a bidder priced their noodles at 27 pesos per pack (because it has fresh egg inside!). it was a DepEd contract aiming to provide noodles to public students (nutrition blah-blah.) Rico kasi, hanggang I'm-neve-gonna-dance-again scam lang e!
