First of all, I wanna congratulate miss Philippines for winning the second place in the miss world beauty pageant held last week. Filipinas are truly beautiful, talented and intelligent. Greetings and salutations! You made our country proud once again. 


Speaking of miss world, did you know that Bob Marley's former wife Cindy breakspeare was crowned as miss world way back 1976? She is the mother of the Damian Marley, a grammy award winning reggae artist and her son to Bob Marley.
