  4. Napanood ko nga ang speech nya kahapon: I am surprised and deeply honored...and then he said that it's a call for all nations to make peace a reality.

    Marami nga ang against sa pagkapanalo ni Obama but I guess there's a reason why he won.

    Basta ako, happy ako na nanalo sya. Some may say he's too young and it's too early for a Noble award. I say: couldn't we just be happy for him.

    At least he now has more initiative to achieve peace especially in the Middle East.
