I received a comment the other day from a certain Joel De Lima on my blog post where I featured Carlene Aguilar as the first Miss Earth Philippines Winner.

His comment went like this: what is the cause for being a Miss Earth candidate, when they let clariza de lima died, and do nothing.

Because I didn’t know anything about what he is talking about, I tried to google search the name Clariza De Lima..

And here is a summary of the report I’ve read, sent by Joel de Lima (the elder brother) to Women’s Desk (another website concerned in helping women fight for their rights)

During the Miss Earth 2007 pageant, a tourist bus under Isarog Line Express carrying the delegates of the beauty pageant accidentally ran over the 19-year-old daughter of a farmer in Sto. Tomas, Batangas last October 25 , 2007 around 10:30 pm while on its way to Camarines Sur.

The victim, Clariza de Lima, slipped into a coma and died nine hours after the incident due to the severity of her injuries.

Concerned citizens immediately flagged down a passing jeepney to bring de Lima to St. Cabrini Hospital in Barangay Dos, also in Sto. Tomas town.

Police said they escorted the two buses to the municipal police station around 11 p.m. where Peñaflorida, the bus driver was held in custody. The Miss Earth delegates were not allowed to disembark the buses at that time. An official of Carousel Productions, which organized the beauty tilt, said the delegates were asleep when the accident happened.

“We were asleep when it happened. We were not aware. We just found out because we were brought to the police station,” Peachy Veneracion, Carousel vice-president for external relations, said.

A desk officer said the two buses left without Peñaflorida less than an hour after arrival. She said the two female officers of the Police Security and Protection Office who were escorting the Miss Earth contestants wanted to leave in a hurry “because some of the delegates were already asking questions about what happened.”

Mr. De Lima, the victims father said he wanted to sue the owners of the bus company after his daughter died. He added, however, that he changed his mind because he wanted to give Clariza a decent burial.

That is why he accepted the P130, 000 offered by Mr. Steve Cu (owner of Isarog Lines)

A note on the police blotter on the settlement, which was signed on October 26, 2007 at 9:30 a.m., reads: “The father of said pedestrian victim and owner of said Mitsubishi Fuso bus affixed their signature below to testify among others that the father of said pedestrian victim is no longer interested to file criminal or civil complaint against to the driver and owner of said Mitsubishi Fuso bus.” Signatories were Jaime de Lima, Steve Cu, Dante Penaflorida, Renato Soriano and Carlos Santos.”

With the money, de Lima paid P12,000 to the hospital, P35,000 for a burial plot in Paete, Laguna; and P42,000 for the wake and burial.

And now, almost a year after, understandably the heart aches and anger are still not healed.

And maybe that is why Joel De Lima (the brother) is still asking for justice to what happened to her sister and I also read some messages he sent to some sites just last month, he said:

Miss Earth and Carousel Prod. Did Not Do Anything and Let Clariza de Lima DIED.

I dont want money or to put someone in jail, What i Want is for the Carousel Prod. and Miss Earth to give a public apology to my family for doing nothing, and let my sister Clariza de Lima DIED.

What is the cause for being a Miss Earth candidate?

They just left Clariza de Lima dying and do NOTHING.

To Mr. De Lima, honestly I didn’t understand some of the points you are trying to raise. But I just hope Carousel Production can hear your request and grant you the public apology, if as you’ve said, it is the only thing you want.

For the meantime, my readers and I will just pray for your family and for your sister.

Paris Hilton is one of the most photographed personality in the world, many loved her and many more hated her.

She was talked and shown from many angle all exploring the negative side of her, but in her new documentary-like film “Paris, Not France” you will see a very different side of Paris Hilton, and I kindda like to see her that way, to see the serious part of her. Not always ridiculed for everything she does and everything she says.

According to the article:

The documentary features candid interviews with Hilton, her parents and sister, gossip columnists and cultural observers examining her celebrity and offering insights on the dumb-blonde facade that fronts it. “Paris, Not France” shows a much more self-possessed and well-spoken Hilton.

While driving her car, Hilton delivers a long, anguished monologue, discussing her horror over the sex tape with a former boyfriend that found its way on to the Internet. She states that she did not remember filming it, then concludes with her characteristic humor: “I looked gross in that video.”

Paris notes that the airhead image was heavily due to the persona she copped on her reality show “The Simple Life,” saying network executives wanted it to be a cross between “`Legally Blonde‘ and `Green Acres.’ They wanted me to be really dumb.”

But personally, I think many people doesn’t really hate Paris Hilton, they are just being dismayed with the things that are happening to her life knowing that she could have been in a better situation especially since she was so blessed with wealth, beauty and fame. But still, I like Paris Hilton better than Lindsay Lohan..
