Tacloban, a City of Change and Hope

For months now, a fellow member of Brotherhood of Destiny, Inc. (BROOD) and I were planning to go to the University of the Philippines in Tacloban to visit our organization’s chapter there but because our organization has limited funding and we ourselves cannot afford to go there we always postpone it.

When I see the Cebu Pacific Blogging Challenge, I see an opportunity that perhaps we will be given a chance to visit Tacloban and what better way to start this new and first ever WordPress blog of mine than with this post.  I personally want to see  Tacloban’s bustling nature, beaches, forest and the people who at a young age wanted to contribute to the change of this country.  It is not recreation nor luxury that I want to go to Tacloban but pure passion to meet this young people from UP who are full of enthusiasm to create a difference for the Philippines.

Let us Support the GCAP 50-50 Campaign

The world has passed the halfway mark for meeting the Millennium Development Goals — the 8 international development goals that 189 United Nations member states have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. The goals include halving extreme poverty and hunger, reducing maternal and child mortality rates, fighting diseases such as AIDS, sending all children to school and improving access to water and sanitation.

The Philippines is among those that are lagging behind its MDG targets. Rampant corruption in government, as well as lack of funds needed to meet the MDGs , pose a serious challenge for the country’s anti-poverty efforts. One thing you can do is to sign up and support the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP)’s 50-50 Campaign just CLICK HERE.

Team RP and FlippyKnows teams up for Blogger’s Night

Creating a change movement in the Philippines is not knew.  There are hundred and if not thousand of organizations already advocating for social change but it seems change is not forthcoming that easily.  Why is that?  In my opinion it is because these groups fail to unite and see the similarities among one another and because of that they are not scratching the bigger problem that our country is facing.  But hope never fades, just like what will be happening this October 10, 2008, Saturday at My Little Art Place in Greenhils.

Birth of Pinoy Blog Movement for Change and Action

I am new at WordPress and I wanted to try how different is blogging in WordPress is. The every first problem I encountered with creating this new blog is the blog title itself. What will I name this new blog about and what will I write in it. Then idea came and I decided to write about Pinoy Blogs and I guess personally tell my opinion about their blogs. I am not a top notch blogger but I guess I have the write to tell my opininon about what they write and perhaps Danilo Arao could also help me on this.

Pinoy are great bloggers and one of the finest in the world. Photomatt or Matt Mullenweg himself says that he cannot even decipher who is a Filipino blogger because their English is topnothc. That is indeed a great compliment from someone who is considered an authority in Weblogging, specifically WordPress.
