What is the money used for? Is it donated to a charitable work?
-
Usually, the generated money is used for the fiesta activities like prizes on different sports activities, buying things needed for decor in the whole community, for snacks during the activities, or the whole amount can be allotted for a certain project in the village like repair of barangay hall or cementing of road.

Philippines has many king and queens maybe because it was a part of our tradition, of our cultural heritage, and of our interest that lives on even up to this day of the modern age of technology. As we look back in this past years, philippines has been dominated the beauty pageant around the world with their own unique beauty, to show the world that we are not only beautiful inside and out but we have the eyes to see people who are in want, to bring equality to all, and to inspire people to never give up and stop dreaming, to follow that dreams, and make that dreams into reality.
-
Truly this is part of Philippine tradition. We have been like during the Spanish colonization of our country. Our rich culture and traditions also credited to our colonizers which we still practice until now. Our village fiesta are so enjoyable because of this traditions we have.

I have the same question as @Treathyl FOX has. What is the money for? Choosing a king and queen based on how much one collects does not seem to be a justification for that.
-
Yes, I forgot to mention about it. The accumulated money is used for fiesta activities or can also be used to fund certain project in the village, depending on what the village officials had approved.
-
-
Ha ha, that is true, we are all king and queen to our own way. We are the royalties without the protocol and without the wealth.
-
We call kind of thing beauty contest and name it something like miss or Mr so and so naming them from where they come from. Some of the things you ha e mentioned are similar to what we do back in our country as well They ar3 usually asked questions regarding the place they come from and if the judge’s are happy with their answers then they ar3 crowned with a tiara for the girl with flowers and so on and so for the. Then a celebration follows.there after.

It takes a lot of motivation and determination to success in something. It can’t just happen in one day and we all must know that.
-
Having positivity around does put a spring in one’s step specially for those who tend to look at the dark side of life.

Success is a journey not a destination. It takes mountain of motivation, dedication, and perseverance in order for someone to succeed. Whatever your dreams in life, you need to hold on to that dreams, never give up, and find away to achieve that dream and make it a reality. Don’t look with those people who bring you down but trust in yourself that you can make it no matter how long, how hard, how narrow the path you must travel. But i know at the end of your journey, if you perserved nothing is impossible for you to succeed. It’s a matter of choice and hard work.

Thats great advice. If you want to be a millionaire, sorround yourself with millionaires. There is a lot of proven truth in this including in spiritual realms where transference of spirits is recognised. Its not all watertight though. There are those who promise the sun and you are not even going to reach the moon. You have to locate the kind of person known as the destiny helper. These are people who will shepherd you to a platform where you will realise your potential. And they are not easy to locate. It seems that in life, good things are not too easy to locate. Majority are destiny killers and would not be pleased to see you scaling the ladder of success.

The secret of success is not one single, pithy tip. The “secret of success,” if there is one, is that success is brought about by a combination of smart habits, a tenacious spirit, and a whole lot of luck. Making a few conscious changes to your behavior and attitude could prove to quite rewarding.
Avoiding the unpleasant parts of work doesn’t make them go away. Break the seemingly unmanageable into manageable chunks, then sprinkle those less-enjoyable aspects of a task into that other stuff that you really like. Building up a huge hunk of the bad stuff to deal with all at once, after you’ve completed the enjoyable stuff, is just going to leave a sour taste in your mouth at the end of a project.[1]
Delaying gratification—“gratification” being whatever it is you’d rather do than the thing you’re procrastinating—has been shown to increase your productivity and enjoyment of the gratification itself.Understand that the road to success will not be unending, continual joy. There will be difficulties, setbacks, and moments where you question your commitment. These will occur whether you’re on the right path or the wrong path, so understand that while it might be hard sometimes, you’ll need to make an effort to re-establish and embrace that positivity you felt at the outset of your endeavor.

When I was young I watched a movie which starred famous American comedian and actor Jerry Lewis. It was called “The Nutty Professor”. There was one thing the main character said in the movie that I latched on to and carried it with me into my adulthood. This may not be an exact quote but the professor (Lewis) said: “You might as well learn to love yourself because you’re going to have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.”
-
Many are the times we feel hopeless in our lives because of the many things we go through. When I was younger I used to love my life believing in what everybody said. I would get so frustrated at times and even give up on stuff that i did eventually and that did not help me at all.
But when I became an adult nothing or no one would tell me something that would put me down or make me feel desperate of hopeless. This is after I realized who I am and that am just as capable as anyone else to do what others do. I loved myself to the point where some people thought I was being selfish. But the thing is whenever I wake up I always used to tell myself that i am beautiful, I am intelligent, I am anointed, I am able and i am fearfully and wonderfully made. So if I don’t love myself, then who will. That’s the first thing you need to do always and everything else will fall into place. Even though people may look down on you, never take it literally, remember who you are and push on no matter what. -
You are right. What people say affects us. We are affect by criticisms in a psychological, physical and spiritual way. Never criticisms can drive us to insanity if we let. We suffer from severe illness most especially depression if some criticizes us negatively. That is why we must have people, family, friends, colleagues who motivate, empower and uplift. If someone is not doing that for us we must excuse them from our company. We must also be upliftment for other people.

Watching the sunset has always been a soothing feeling for me, how ive been longing to go at the beach once more, go to the shore, to feel the soft breeze gently caressing my face, and the cold waters seems to kissing my feet. I terribly miss the wonderful feeling of contentment, peace, and solitude.
-
This is the advantage of living near the beach, we always have the good setting for the afternoon, especially the sunset. Every season we can have different colors of sunset. We also have the hills and its really nice always be at the beach to take some photos.
-
-
I get to see sunrise from my door step. It is not as colourful as one can see on the beach or on hillsides but I see it in different avatars. I forget to see the sunset as it is at the back of our house. I must remember to click photos of sunset too. As for sunrise photos I have scores of them.
Your photo is mesmerising.
-
You must be always inspired because every morning you have the inspiration of the sunrise and in the afternoon you have the sunset. How come? But its really amazing to be in your place, maybe you can also post some of your sunset photos.

The sight of the sunset is one of the best fascinating all over the world especially standing on the beach and looking at the sunset look very beautiful.
I read in an article about the sunset and its result I summarize here for the readers as For just a few days each year the sun sets over the falls creating a vivid red amber glow – leading it to be re-named Yosemite Fire fall.
The stunning moment was captured by wildlife photographer Penny Adams who has been recording America’s most beautiful locations for 26 years.
The 37-year-old, from Tennessee, said this was the first time she had photographed Horsetail Falls and it was an incredible sight to witness.
Adams said, “I nervously watched the weather forecasts all week before deciding to make the trip to Yosemite Park, I had to make sure the conditions were just right for me to capture the perfect photograph.
“The whole experience was so very exciting, I made the drive back to the bay area after sunset and I didn’t sleep very well that night because I couldn’t wait to see what the film would hold.

Yes, spotlight leaves a bad effect on human and mind plus human soul because those who attract the public attention by any means lose first of all privacy and liberty of day and light.
Getting popularity in any field is dangerous for health as I think and the writer think is correct.
Being a celebrity or simply being famous has its own advantages and disadvantages. The common perception is that celebrities and famous personalities have everything in life. After all, the grass is always greener on the other side, isn’t it?
The truth is that there are as many downsides and disadvantages of being a celebrity as there are the number of benefits. Who said being famous was always fun? Decide for yourself—read on in this article for for five advantages and five disadvantages of being a celebrity.
What do you think would happen if Paris Hilton walked down to the supermarket on a regular day? She would be mobbed and hounded for autographs and pictures. Celebrities and other famous people cannot lead lives of normal people.
Famous people are often followed or harassed by phone, email, or mail by fans or followers who cross the line and become obsessed. Obsession can turn into threats and even physical harm.

Being in the spotlight alone for a long time is nothing but a selfishness. And not allowing others for fear of not remaining there alone is cruel. One should realize that being a celebrity by virtue of her/her craft may not set the stage for him/her continuously for years together. One has to leave the seat and allow others to occupy it. He should realize that it is the time that had given him an opportunity to wear a medal or crown and it would never be his always and that the same day would shift to some other personality offering an opportunity. This is not losing the opportunity or favor of others. It is only a shift from one plane to another plane.
Leaving a seat should be considered not as dishonor but should be considered with a spirit of acceptance.This spirit of acceptance will actually make them win the love of even more people with great respect,love,and honor.

I have a problem with speaking in public: large crowds intimidate me.this is why I found it hard to sustain a project in front of the class or stuff like that
-
Some are afraid to speak in front of small crowds and large crowds. Once fear is removed. The voice will flow and project what is needed. Everyone has to overcome a fear of something. There’s always a way. Be blessed.

Thi is a common problem with most of the people as said. They afraid of speaking and afraid to speak as per their thoughts and those who speak will have no thoughts.
It is something like a person without knowledge can fill any number of pages with so many words and a person who is clear in his thoughts will search for words and fail to write a number of pages. He will have a lot of subject on his hand but can not express them in writing.
But we should not consider that somebody is bullying us and it is our fear only which is leading us to wrong conclusions. Once this is fixed in our mind a little practice will make one perfect.
The only fear in my opinion they have is not building up a coherence between their ideas and their expression. That’s all.
They generally have a fear of not getting the appropriate words. This makes them feeling inferiority complex for no reason.
The feeling of being intimidated by someone is only a psychological fear that one can overcome very easily through determination and practice.
