Two Pinoys in Obama’s Inauguration

Paul Michael Cruz is in Washington D.C right now attending the University Presidential Inaugural Conference (UPIC) which is attended by hundreds of students from around the world. UPIC is being held until the 21st in conjunction with Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration.

The 19-year-old college freshman from the Philippines was said to be chosen for his outstanding performance at a Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington D.C. and New York in 2007.

But it wasn’t free. The airfare and conference fees were reported to cost him $4,000.

Paul Michael looked so excited while waiting for his flight January 16. Well, who wouldn't be? But would you believe that he doesn't have any political plans? Attending the Global Young Leaders Conference alone would make you wonder.

But whatever his future plans are, he surely makes us Filipinos so proud. Go Pinoy!

And yea, Charice is also there.
