I am thankful that Filipinos want to capture each and every moment of a family reunion - all digital cameras are taken out and everyone, from the lolo and lola down to the apos sa tuhod, are all armed with happy smiles!

While there are a lot of local personalities who have brought honor and pride to our country, I think there are also a lot of things about Fernando Poe Jr (FPJ) that Filipinos should be thankful for. No, it's about politics but rather the legend he was as an actor, producer, director who have been a great instrument for other personalities in the entertainment industry. And most of all, I think Filipinos should thank him for being an inspiration and for showing that people should not be admired only for their good looks and charm, but also what is inside their hearts.
