Thanks to God because my father came as an immigrant to Brazil. The earth seem from the space has no borders, let´s make the world a place of peace and love and solidarity to all to live in freedom. Japan will become a World Leader by giving example of a generous country, human driven country. Acts of love and solidarity will be never forgiven. Japan will play a new role as a leader in a changing world by opening its doors to the world in hunger and poverty. Japan is more than technology, Japan has good brains and good hearts, hearts of flesh. Japan will be known as a country of kindness and mercy and deep concern for building a new world, for making the earth a better place to live for now and the future.

The very same reason her parents left that country in the first place. Also please note, I am from Malaysia and have been to philipines so I'm not being a racist or anything. But I know what kind of hardship they will have to go through. also how could she survive in a country that crappy? The very same reason her parents left that country in the first place.

Regardless of what you think about the Calderons or their actions, you can't argue that they were _harming_ society (or you) by being here. Rated-R, that’s a bit harsh isn’t it?
