Pinoy Student will attend President-elect Barack Obama's Inauguration come Jan. 20

He is Paul Michael Pilares Cruz, a 19-year-old college freshman from the Philippines. He is one of only two Filipinos to be invited to President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration. He couldn’t believe his luck describing the moment the invitation arrived by mail from the Congressional Youth Leadership Council Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that has secured seats for students from around the globe.
Cruz and another Filipino, Anna Liwanag, attended the Global Youth Leadership Conference when they were high school seniors in June 2007 in Washington and New York, making them eligible to be invited to the Jan. 20 inauguration. To have this opportunity and be included in the inauguration of the World’s renowned leader is a big success. Go, go, go Pinoy! Naniniwala ako sa galling ng Pinoy!!! Being a Filipina living in the States – am still a full blooded Pinoy , I am proud of you and I am proud to be a Filipino. Mabuhay Ka!
