Tingog.com The Voice of A Filipino
I will formally change the subtitle of this blog. It is a one word change, but I believe it is consistent with what is happening. Tingog.com was to be The Voice of The Filipino, but I have decided to make this blog more of a personal blog, as I have chosen to pursue the heavy hitting articles over at FilipinoVoices.com.
Thus it is now The Voice of a Filipino — Me, Nick.
I hope the support for Filipino Voices is even greater as the support I garnered with this blog. I am an engineer, based in The United States, but because of the deep passion I have for my motherland, I have chosen to continue fighting for what I believe, and to push for a true reform towards progress in The Philippines. Both blogs, Tingog.com and FilipinoVoices.com reflect this overriding theme.
So, the shift may not be noticeable, but because a personal blog is personal, I will allow readers into the depth of my thoughts, open myself up to the blogosphere a little more, in the hopes that the barrier of trust may be broken.
No man is an island, and by extension, no blogger is an island.
This is Nick, the writer of Tingog.com, writing about politics, government, social concerns, and everything else in between that interests me. I hope you continue reading, I always love the company.

Nick, Thank you for coming to our lives.
In the lesson 27 of the book “The Purpose Driven Life” by Mr. Rick Warren, he says every person must not be alone, he must have a friend whom he/she could express his opinion, he needs to talk and help him move on. Same as “No Man is an Island”. My existence, I wanna live alone I just wanna live alone but in terms of battle and strife for just, justice, fair and for reason, I will need to hitch someone’s truck shouting for the reason. As a Filipino we could fell the hardship of our fellowmen to work in order to live. The Filipino laborer levels abroad. Yesterday, I been to MMG Jubail camp 2 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where there are almost 7,000 Filipinos staying in the camp. I became emotional; my tears won’t stop falling after seeing their situation. I wasn’t able to capture image because it is not allow in the kingdom but I hope next time I could have a stolen shot of their situation. If you could see them, you would askin,
What’s wrong with the Philippines?
What’s wrong with the government?
How to help our fellow Filipinos?
When the corruption stops?
When could have a job for them in the Philippines?
Where are the resources we have?
Why do the government won’t invest capital to open the rich resources we have so people won’t go abroad to work as laborer?
I love my fellow Filipinos. I don’t wanna see them suffer but who am I and what could I do for them. I am just an ordinary man who work also as OFW. Many cases where Filipino men were raped by arab men their bloody experience is not a joke but the law in the Kingdom is not fair for the alien who work there. They were the victim but if they will complain they would be put in jail. Then where is the justice in that system.
The Philippines is still very premature to solve problem existing in the Filipino people. The only way for them to get mature is to open their eyes, mind and lead the country according to the will of GOD not the will of their greediness.
