The dead cannot speak, the families are being swindled, the government is never up for the task, and so Sulpicio Lines is maneuvering towards an end game that it hopes doesn’t involve a lot of payouts and a business still up and running. A few civil society groups have taken it upon themselves to […]
I’m not one to shy away from controversy myself, although I rarely ever seek it, the only time was when Malu Fernandez broke into the scene, or maybe crashed, I don’t know. And even then, it was all of her doing in the first place. But recently, over at Filipino Voices, there’s been […]
Alright, this list is quite long, so I will start out with a few of my favorites, three this week. These are Filipina women, that I have grown to love as I go blog hopping in this vast blogosphere. They bring their advocacies, their unabashed personalities, and their strong convictions. They are […]
I’m sick and tired of hearing Brian Gorrell’s name come up during conversation. I’m sick and tired that he’s even mentioned in the influential blogs, because he’s not, he’s just a damn fad. I feel sorry for him, for having been so gullible and falling for DJ Montano, and losing all his money […]
I will be doing a few blog reviews within the next two weeks or so. It will be as much for me, as it will be for you readers. It will become my homage to my fellow bloggers, without which, this blogging life would be severely lonely. Filipino Bloggers have forged a […]
Never mind that Filipino Voices is already getting 250+ visitors per day, around 700 pageviews per day, and an average of 50+ feed subscribers in just six weeks, but take notice of the deeply thought out articles being written by some of the most talented Filipino bloggers we have today. This is why, I […]
Yes, that’s right, I beat hottie Jessica Alba at a staring contest. I forgot to record it though. Nevertheless, I could look at her all day, staring, and I would still win. Who blinks when Jessica Alba is around anyway, right? Watch the following video as Jessica Alba stares at you, […]
A project as historic as FilipinoVoices.com is something that any blogger can be proud of. But it has its times of uncertainty. As you know, we have started a new phase in the Philippine political punditry, that of a collaborative site. To bring bright minds together, in the blogging world, as well […]
Sometimes you have to let the bad in with the good, this is my thoughts regarding The Brian Gorrell controversial blog. In fact, I think he made the blog rounds during the launching of his blog, and I just ignored it. Honestly, I haven’t been following his blog, and I went to it […]
I didn’t join Janet Toral’s The Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs writing project last year, but I actually was nominated quite a few time, around 7 times if I recall correctly. I didn’t mention it on the blog here, I should have. Anyway, here’s a chance to redeem myself as I have had […]
The power of the blog, in my point of view, is that it is not only a good source of personal information, and timely information, but it can be a good source of analysis. Granted, the fact that many bloggers are not journalists, does not mean they are devoid of having a brain, a […]
It was bound to happen. This is a post on the DJ Montano and Brian Gorrell controversy. I haven’t wrote about it, but it is getting much hype and sensationalism around the blogosphere. We can’t know for sure if any of Gorrel’s accusations are true, after all, there is no evidence, just […]
I really don’t mind if people quote from the blog, I actually love it when they do. But when it’s people who just want to take content without acknowledging then I get really pissed off. And what’s even more grave is when it’s automatically done, taking from hundreds of blogs, using a stupid […]
Net neutrality. The basic fundamental principle that we, the consumer, the average citizen, have the right to “our” internet our ability to access any “web site we want, whenever we want, at the fastest speed, whether it’s a corporate or mom-and-pop site”. Use “any service we like — watching online video, listening […]
OK, I must admit, so engaged was I with the day to day events of our government and what was happening on the streets, that I totally lost track of what was happening online. Quite ironic if you think of it, because we make our home here online, in cyberspace, thus the dot com […]
There is a growing trend of young professionals going into the Web Outsourcing industry nowadays, and I’m one of them. So are the majority of people in my circle of friends and peer group. While most of us work in-house, there is a growing number of us gutsy individuals who are going into home-based freelancing.
Being […]
