One is a post on Flor Contemplacion (<a href="http://tagamonumento.blogspot.com/2009/03/flor-contemplacion-is-dead-long-live.html" rel="nofollow">Flor Contemplacion Is Dead! Long Live Flor Contemplacion! (A Proposal to Establish the Flor Contemplacion Memorial for a Fallen Filipina Heroine)</a>) and the other on "Nicole" (<a href="http://tagamonumento.blogspot.com/2009/03/nicole-victimized-again-where-to.html" rel="nofollow">"Nicole," Victimized Again? Where to, Filipino Honor?!"</a>). Perhaps we can borrow a page on the Flor Contemplacion experience wherein President Ramos, because of widespread public outrage, was forced to issue EO 231 establishing the Presidential Fact-Finding and Policy Advisory Commission on the Protection of Overseas Filipinos, more popularly known as the Gancayco Commission. The chain of events eventually saw the passage of RA 8042 (the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995). In every dark cloud, we all hope that there is a silver lining. I humbly suggest that we do not let the furor die down on this easily but instead sit down as a nation, women and men, in the difficult task of reclaiming Filipino honor and in trying to find better ways of helping Filipina victims of rape, violence and discrimination. Mabuhay ang mga Filipina! Mabuhay ang Pinoy! God bless to all. I’ve had two posts recently on Filipinas in my blog.

Everyone is entitled to their feelings of shame, disappointment, numbness, anger over her retraction. I myself felt really bad for the other Filipina victims. I will never know her reasons. All I can do right now is focus on other victims and how I can help them. I don’t find anything wrong with your blog post.
