Lately, there are quite a number of visitors to Roy's website. It is because of a trilogy of posts about a certain 12-year old girl who allegedly won in an International Science Quiz Net in Sydney, Australia. However, searching the internet about this international competion leads to nothing but websites discussing whether the story is true or not.
Apparently, Faye Nicole San Juan -- the 12-year old girl in the middle of the controversy, was interviewed by Jessica Soho last wednesday. Some who were able to catch the show are not sold to the story -- including Roy's mother. They are inclined to believe that parts of the story about Faye are simply exaggerated. The fact that the competition is not well known, you can't blame people to be skeptical. Some however are touched by the story -- to them, it is a fairy tale come true.
I am still skeptical. However touching the story was -- unless founded on truth -- is still fiction.
