A Startup, And Some Thoughts

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 […]

Censorship For Blogging? All Because of Brian Gorrell?

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 […]

The Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2008

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 […]

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 […]

Beware of Old Media, Blogs Are Sources of Information and Analysis!

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 […]

What To Make Of DJ Montano Vs. Brian Gorrell

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 […]

Some Idiotic Copying Software

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 […]

Malu Fernandez and Blogging As A Slacker Job

Damn that Malu Fernandez and her acerbic wit. I have again received a deluge of emails regarding her worthless articles in Manila Standard Today. What — did her editors tell her to write another stupid article in order to raise their traffic to something even remotely close to Inquirer.net? Face it, […]

Philippine Bloggers on Jun Lozada

Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada, Jr. our imperfect hero of the hour is standing firm despite the heavy machinations being employed by The Arroyo Administration. I’ve been thinking about Jun Lozada lately, my prayers are definitely with him. My judgment on him will come later as I think about the man himself. I […]

And He Rises From The Depths Of Nowhere

The title above is a bit dramatic, and I could probably tell you all the horror stories known to man. But I won’t. Tingog.com is not really about me, and as with these past few months, it looks as though that Tingog.com has lost it’s voice.
I’m at fault. And without going into […]

Media in Focus: Bloggers, New and Old Media, and Mob Rule??

Here it is folks, The videos. The ABS-CBN News Channel show, “Media in Focus”. This was the episode last week in which fellow bloggers Benj Espina and Josel Gonzalez were invited to the show to give their take on the Malu Fernandez issue. I couldn’t make it since I’m currently out of […]

Only Manila Standard Can Decide The Fate of This Issue

In the past weeks, bloggers, Overseas Filipino Workers, our readers, and the general Filipino public have displayed their outrage, in what was an inappropriate, bigoted, and discriminatory article written by Malu Fernandez. The issue was born out of a scanned article, and quickly grew as soon as blogger’s took up the issue.
Tingog.com […]
