  2. :D This looks promising. Even when some people are bitter~ Oh well. In contests, people win, people lose. It wouldn't be a contest if everybody won---that'll be charity.

  3. Did anyone say that everyone should win? What we are asking for is a FAIR contest. What makes you so SURE that THESE are the ones who were RIGHTFUL to win? Whatever they say, these so-called "winners" are connected/related to the 140 seats (judges). Are you wondering how I knew? I know a LOT about Philpop. More than you do actually. ;)
