Hey everyone!
I just got back from Subic. By the way, there's another reason for Filipinos to be proud of. Kudos to 16-year-old Gian Dapul for winning the English Speaking Union's International Public Speaking Competition held in London. He beat 57 other contestants from 35 countries with his speech "Fish Mucus and Foot Fungus," where he mentioned scientific breakthroughs that could enhance health and extend life spans.
He's an incoming senior at the Philippine Science High School. According to Philippine Star (newspaper): "Gian impressed the judges and audience with his relaxed and humorous delivery of a substantive speech with a clear message.
Peter Kyle, the chairman of the judges said Gian "impressed everyone with his speech, which from the start got the audience's attention." In November, Gian will be given a certificate at the Buckingham Palace, by no other than Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. It's also likely that the Queen will be present.
