MANILA, Philippines - If the fanbase in social media would be the basis for winning the American Idol contest, then Filipino-Mexican bet Jessica Sanchez is sure to win by a big leap.

Two weeks before the finale of the American hit singing competition, remaining Top 3 contestants Sanchez, Joshua Ledet, and Phillip Phillips are left to vie for the title in the show's 11th season.

And based on online fans and followers, Sanchez, the remaining female contestant in the competition, is edging out her two male competitors.

Facebook.

In Facebook, Sanchez got more fanpage dedicated to her than the other two contestants. Some of these pages even exceeded the thousand mark for "likes".

As for the Top 3's official Facebook fanpages, Sanchez still leads in terms of number of "likes." Her page has with than 191,000 likes - far from the 72,000 likes in Phillips's fanpage, and from 51,000 likes in Ledet's fanpage.

These official Facebook fanpages help boost votes for the candidates. Each fanpage links to an app where voters can cast their votes online. Voting is being opened for at least a day at the end of every performance night. The following day, the contestants who garner the highest votes stay in the competition, while the one with the lowest votes is eliminated.

Twitter.

On the microblogging site Twitter, Sanchez also leads the fanbase race. Searching the name of Sanchez would yield to a longer list of pages dedicated to her than the other two contestants.

Dear Miriam Quiambao,

Congratulations on standing up for the truth given by God in the Bible! Literally interpreting the Bible is what we should really do. The word of God is the word of God. Those who believe in God shouldn't doubt the Bible: each word in the Bible, each punctuation mark, each syllable was written by the owner and creator of the universe, period. I love your zealous and unwavering faith that everything that the Bible says is true and that we should follow it.

I know that we should take the Bible as it is. There's no doubt that God forbids cross-dressing; Deuteronomy 22:5 says that. Leviticus 18:22 implies that homosexuality is an abomination to God's eyes as well. But I'm having some problems with other verses in the Bible. Please help me with what to do about them because, just like you, I want to live my life in accordance with the word of God.

1. According to Genesis, God only created men and women. Nothing else, no one in between. Just either men or women. Now, Genesis 1:5 says that God created only evening and morning. There was no mention about afternoon, dusk, dawn, midnight, the blue hour, etc. As a literal follower of the Bible, how should I regard these "other" parts of the day? To borrow your own words, are they the "lies of the devil?" Why do we have these abominations? Is God testing my faith?

Jessica Sanchez once again wowed me (and hopefully you too) with her own rendition of "Dance With My Father' originally sang by Luther Vandross during the American Idol 11 Top 6 Performance Show. 

Her performance was really full of emotions and you can feel it through her voice and see it on Jessica’s action on how she misses her father so badly. In short, Jessica owned the song and performed it so naturally.

Here's what Mark Zuckerberg said on his blog post:

"I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook.

For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.

We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook.

That's why we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people.

We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keepingfeatures like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook.

As We, Filipinos, commemorate the 150 years birthday of our National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal, the Central Bank of the Philippines will release 10 Million pieces of the Special 1-Peso Rizal Coin this month.

But I think I was lucky enough dahil meron na kong Special 1-Peso Rizal Coin 'nung December pa though I only have 3 pieces. Kayaaa... 999,997 thousand rizal coins na lang ang madidistribute ngayong month. :D
