Probably one of the most talked about person today in Philippine Blogosphere is Mr. Jayce Perlas of Perlas and Luna PR Agency. Well to those of you who doesn’t know it yet, Mr. Jayce Perlas have angered a Tech Blogger ( Arpee ). It was an incident that happened in a product launch of a certain Electronic Product handled by Perlas and Luna.

I got the news upon browsing this Plurk page , You can also see other  Plurk page where other bloggers have expressed their concern about this incident. Well I do not know Mr Jayce Perlas or Arpee Lazaro personally but the way Arpee narrated the incident it seems that there are still some PR People who does not know what blogging is.

I think those PR people, more than anybody else in that event, should know how to be polite.

But to all of you , why don’t you try to Google “ Jayce Perlas “ or “ Perlas and Luna “. Search results will show you some bloggers who already blogged about the incident. { Perhaps it will not be good for them }

But of course to Mr. Jayce Perlas , You can always say your part. You can contact any of those bloggers thru contact page.

Lesson Learned : Try to be polite even to those who are wearing Jeans in an event.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank colorfulmars.com ( updated April 18th) for including me in the list of top 100 Blogger based on Blog Juice which is also blogged by Janette ( updated March 2008) .

But is this enough to be nominated in for the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards . Let’s see what will happen.

Happy Blogging to All.

Who is Malu Fernandez ?

She is a journalist who believes in her freedom of speech and believes that she can say anything in Public. She is a famous Buzz maker in Philippine Blogosphere. At First she made a very bad comment regarding Filipino OFW that made her popular in the net. Well actually I don’t know her, not until she make those statement last year.

So what is the Buzz ?

And now Malu Fernandez did it again by commenting about bloggers. According to her comments : ( via Connie )

The difference between a journalist and a blogger is that journalists have to adhere to certain guidelines that govern the freedom of speech. And whatever a journalist chooses to write about—be it popular or unpopular—we do not hide behind an anonymous name and are resigned to the fact that we have to take as much as we dish out.

I really agree that Journalist and bloggers are different. Because bloggers are practicing the freedom of speech. As Bloggers we don’t have Supervisors or editors to edit our write ups. Blogging is an expression of oneself. I as a blogger do not hide my identity you can always check my identity thru my about page for that matter.

But blogging, aside from Perez Hilton and the other big time bloggers (you know who you are) is for me a slacker job or a medium and pastime for lonely people to connect.

Well first of all not all blogger thinks blog as a source of income. Some blog their experience and knowledge just because they want to share their opinion in public. And some blog for fame. And Malu Fernandez is right that some blogs for monetization. Well for me I do both. I am monetizing thru different advertisers. I have to pay for hosting fee and other fee like my domain name and others blog expenses, not to mention my photography hobby.

My Opinion & Observation

I am just thinking if Malu Fernandez doesn’t have any job at Manila Standard. Will she be a blogger? I think so , because she knows how to be popular and make the blogosphere heat up . I may say that she has a good technique and a traits of a Master Link Baiter. I agree with Abe she should be nominated as Master Link Baiter of 2008.

While searching for some information about ZTE Broadband – Jun Lozada , I just found out today that there is a site called WordPress.ph it caters information about different happenings in the Philippine Blogosphere.

What I like from the website is the information it gives to bloggers. Such information includes themes, Plugins, downloads which I believed is being maintained by Filipinos.

They also have a forum, although there are still few post on it, I believe that time will come and it will be filled with lots of interesting discussion.

As an additional feature if you would like your post to be in their homepage just be sure you have an account in del.icio.us and tagged your post as ” wordpressph ” . I just tried and immediately it shows my saved post. [ Redirecting Post for Advertisng ]

The site is maintained by J Angelo Racoma, one of the known Problogger in Philipines.

BTW they are looking for bloggers to fill their requirements.

I am doing this as a support to fellow Filipino Blogger that are hosting this event. I still don’t know if this blog will be nominated.

One thing for sure. I will not nominate myself. This is just to be sure that I am worthy to be nominated if any of my readers will do it. ( I just hope somebody will nominate this site )

I will link to the voting page in the future. For the mean time, You can see details of the event from other blogger that already posted details about this event as follows :

Abe Olandres from Yugatech.com

Karlo from Pinoyblogero.com

Noemi of Aboutmyrecovery.com

Jayvee of abuggedlife.com

Hmmm.. I wonder if I would be nominated here. BTW it is free to be nominated here. As long as they will not change the instructions like last year.
