[thinkerbull]

"do not think of what you country could do for you but think of you could do for you your country" john f kennedy. efren did what he could share to his country.if everyone act this way.surely philippines will rise.GOD bless philippines!!!

[janmon74]

I remember NINOY AQUINO, when I see people like Efren. They are the true HEROES. In the next election, I hope that Efren will support the candidate who, like him, will truly make a change in this nation, one who does things because the limelight is not on him, nor inspired by wealth or power. One who is willing to do the most humble & unpopular. One with Passion & love for country. I hope he will support EDDIE VILLANUEVA! Para sa PAG-ASA & tunay na PAGBABAGO.

And by the way lets not waste our time blaming our politicians, they are hopeless.

Lets use our time to make a difference, ok? hehe! lets start the wave of change....!!!!

Thank you....

[kababz]

its nice to know that people like you really exist in our own country. Change is not distance future anymore but a reality... thank you...

[Garumski]

Efren has done a very good job. No question there... but come on. He won because of a PR job. Voting was 'rigged' in a sense that Pinoys all over the world campaigned for their votes and probably voted gazillion times. Wait until Mumbai India has a candidate and Pinoys will be totally outnumbered.

[nadax]

and youre point is? winning for a good cause because of a mayority of votes fuckyou duch bag this wasn't american idol this is real life and efren won so god bless efren

Since last year, the world is witness to great talents and stories that came from the philippines. From Pempengco, Pineda, Pacquiao, another "P" has touched the heart of millions all over the world; Penaflorida. Charice, Arnel, Manny, and Efren, thank you for making us proud.

[josempabion]

[jbiona01]

paano bumoto? i-click lang ba yung 'share' sa website. then tama na? meron bang konfirmasyon na magsasabi na naboto ko ay si Efren o wala?

[elsinore76]

[rvnacpil1]

Efren you're the best you make us proud as Filipino. You're a role model for us that politicians should learn from the President tp the Barangay Captain...serving people with their hearts...above self. God Bless you always.

[esprakenheitz]

[digsnov]

HOW TO VOTE???? HE IS REALLY A HERO...

[freeman2007]

VOTE FOR EFREN !!!!!!!!

[ericmorales1023]

most of the fathers of these children have 7 to 12 siblings.. which is also one problem that should be looked into. Penaflorida just shows that public service is not dependent upon public office. .We can do our part.

[aerinphil]

my heart is bursting with love and pride for mr. penaflorida. i hope more people follow your example.

[paodomingo]

this is what every teenager should be doing - to do something good for other people, especially children, and help his/her country. go Filipino!
