Every local can blog

At a time when blogging was still unheard-of, emanila has been experimenting over the years since 1998 with several forms of community-based websites where writers interact among themselves, writers interact with readers, or readers interacting among themselves. Two of our popular community-based websites are our entertainment website, The Best of Pinoy Jokes, and our poetry site, emanilapoetry (Tulang Pinoy, Pinoy Verses, Pinoy Poets).

When Jimmy Pimentel, convenor of Filpress Group, broached recently the idea of pooling together the writings of some of our friends in the community to form a blogs site, I had no hesitation in embracing the idea. It is in the character of emanila and The Filipino Australian to sponsor such a site.

As a publisher of emanila group of websites, I take pride in re-opening the blogs site. I believe it is an opportunity for us to provide a platform where everyone can be heard, where everyone can share their thoughts, and where everyone can express their views.

The re-opening of The Filipino Australian Blogs site this weekend is even made more significant as it coincides with Australia Day (January 26), a very fitting occasion to assert our role as a cultural group in Australia’s multicultural society.

How have we done this year?

Compared with 2007, we have covered a lot of grounds but not as much as we hoped to achieve. Next year with your support and contribution, we should be able to cover other Australian states.

To everyone, thanks for your participation and readership.
