I was blogged - the other way around

I was skimming through GDN today and was shocked to read my name splashed on an headline:

Gilongos has last word

FILIPINO Nomel Gilongos took first place in the Filipino Club Toastmasters' (FCT) Table Topic Speech Contest held at the Bahrain Carlton Hotel, Adliya. Second place winner was Filipino Albert Gayo and third was Bahraini Hamza Ali.

Nine contestants of various nationalities were asked to comment one by one on the statement "You Can Tell a Man's Character by Looking at his Friend".

During the contest, Mr Gilongos and Mr Ali both agreed on the statement, while Mr Gayo disagreed.

The three winners have been selected to represent the FCT in the upcoming Area Three Contest between five Toastmasters clubs in March next year.

FCT is one of the clubs connected to Toastmasters International of Santa Ana, California, US, whose main mission is to teach men and women the art of public speaking.

FCT's next contest on speech evaluation is on Tuesday 8pm at the Carlton. All are welcome.

For more information, call Mr Gayo on 39277920.
