You’re invited to submit entries for the premiere edition of the Blog Carnival of the Philippines for Philippine-related blogs.
Through this blog carnival, we can have an on-going recognition of Filipino bloggers and encourage more to surface. I can see that the carnival of personal finance really helps personal finance blogs come together.

Details are at
http://www.mariecasas.com/blog/2007/08/06/welcome-to-the-carnival-of-the-philippines/

Submissions should be in by August 19 (!2 noon) so that the premiere edition can be out on August 21 (my birthday!)

New editions will be released every 1st and 3rd Tuesday. (Deadline for submission every 1st and 3rd Sunday 12 noon)

I’m sure having you there and perhaps if you could mention it to your blogger friends, it would be a great boost.

I think the hullabaloo over blogging “top lists” and “awards” is a good thing. It’s a sign that the Pinoy blogosphere is not only growing but acknowledging each other as part of a community. We’re probably a teeny-weeny minority of the Filipino people, but the ideas I’ve read out there are outstanding. I know I’ve been both inspired and encouraged by other bloggers. I suppose a sort of synergy is happening.Read here.

Kapag nanonood ako sa TV at nakikita ang lifestyle ng mga celebrities—local man o hollywood—ay talaga namang naglalawa ang laway ko at nilulunod ang mga tao sa kabahayan. Nakakainggit talaga ang fortune nila na inaasam-asam rin ng marami. Talaga namang nakakatakam ang mga mararangyang bahay, kotse, wardrobe, career, sexlife at… sexlife. Ituloy lang

The spectre of Islam is haunting the world. As a country with a Muslim population, it would do us good to understand the “Other” in our own soil.

Aglipay continued to serve the Filipino army in the war of resistance against the Americans. He helped recruit Ilocano guerrillas and served under Col. Manuel Tinio who persistently harassed American garrisons in the Ilocos region. Even after Aguinaldo’s capture in May, 1901, Fr. Aglipay continued the fight until he saw the hopelessness of the cause. He surrendered to the Americans, took the oath of allegiance to the United States and returned to his calling in the Catholic Church, hoping for forgiveness from the Pope.
