People all over the world claim to possess supernatural powers and abilities.  From psychics to faith healers to opponents of Red Taniscience-based medicine, they gain money and fame due to the extraordinary nature of these claims. The James Randi Educational Foundation offers these claimants a chance to put their powers to the test through the JREF's Million Dollar Challenge, where anyone can apply to win $1 million simply by proving under mutually agreed upon scientific conditions that she or he has supernatural or paranormal abilities.  We at the JREF are very excited to announce that Red Tani, a skeptical leader involved with the Filipino Freethinkers, has volunteered to help create a stronger presence for the Million Dollar Challenge in the Philippines.

He is on the lookout for proponents of paranormal belief in his region and will invite these people to apply for the Million Dollar Challenge.  Red will also blog here at Randi.org about the many unscientific and unproven claims that wreak havoc on the finances and personal lives of the people in his home country.

This expansion of the JREF's message into the Philippines will help us continue to increase science literacy and critical thinking worldwide, and we could not ask for a better partner in this effort than Red Tani.
