Congratulations, Luiji! You and the rest of the Filipinos who are continuously making headway in whatever field or endeavour are truly worthy of attention and commendation. Stand tall and be proud! Hope you will continue to shine to be good role models to our youths and our countrymen. I wonder why a lot of comments were posted on the Ruffa issue, and none so far on this subject that's actually worth our attention and time... ganyan na ba talaga kababaw ang kaisipan ng mga PINOY? GISING NA at you might not really see the light of dawn. TAMA NA to crap and shoddiness of showbiz and politics! Parents, please guard your kids against this shallowness and cheap-shot mind set. I firmly believe we deserve a lot more better than these filthy smuts.
Mabuhay! Luiji and the rest of our pinoy young scientists are worthy of our congratulations. We are proud of you.
Keep up the good work.
cheers for Filipinos !!!!!!!
More young people like Luiji, who pursue excellence in their chosen field, in whatever dignified field it may be, are what this country needs toward national development in the near future. Sadly, many professionals today, either in the govertment or private sector, have succumbed to corruption, and have abandoned the true calling of their chosen professional career, leaving our country in dire straits. I have great hope that Luiji and his kind shall grow up to be better professionals.
Congratulations Luiji. You do make us proud.
To PDI, I appreciate seeing more and more good news about The Philippines and her achievements. Pls keep it up!
I agree with Yuri P. this is a more interesting story than ruffa. people who are posting messages regarding ruffa and her mom are just trying to make them more sensational. Throwing up is better than posting a single word about them.
I just hope that people would see what Luiji has won. This is the kind of news that we want. A more positive news.
Congratulations Luiji and to the others who won! keep up the good work and may you serve as inspirations to many Filipinos!
Luiji, congratulations!!! and to the rest of the young got the award Mabuhay!!!.I am very proud of you guys. Stay as good model to our youth today. Hope to hear more achievements from all of you winners. GOD BLESS and MORE POWER...
Luigi I'm so proud of you- a kababayan and a schoolmate as well. Though our school is just a public high school but I'm so proud that I've been a part of Doña Hortencia High School in La Carlota City coz our school was able to produce a lot of very good students who excel in their own chosen fields may it be in academics or even in athletics. Thank you so much for making our school proud and Congratulations on what you've achieved. I'm sure your 2 sisters and parents are very proud of you.
I just love music, have you tried out http://www.legal5ounds.com - you can download tons of albums there!
Though a bit late I'd still want to congratulate you Luiji on the award you won, winning scholarships is not an easy route but some guys have that potential inherent in them and you are one of em'. You belong to the younger generation who are the backbone of the country. The world expects a lot from students like you who proves that they possess that little extra out of the ordinary. Your country is proud of you, may you find lots of success in life. Good luck!
