Kami sa Bloggers Kapihan ay nagagalak na isang aktibong ka-blog namin ang unang kinatawan ng mga kabataan sa Kongreso. Madala sana ni Rep. Mong ang mga usaping pambayang tinatalakay sa Philippine blogosphere.

Inaasahan din naming magsusulong siya policies na patuloy na susuporta sa malayang pagpapahayag at malayang Internet sa Pilipinas at makatutulong siya sa pagpapalawak ng access ng mga kabataan sa mga makabagong teknolohiyang pangkomunikasyon.

Matagal na dapat nanumpa si Mong bilang kinatawan ng mga kabataan sa Kongreso. Dapat ay naiproklama na siya noong pang 2007 sapagkat nakuha ng Kabataan Party ang kinakailangang bilang at bahagdan ng boto. Sana’y di ito muling mangyari sa isang taon — kung kailan inaasahan naming muling magwawagi ang Kabataan.

Oct. 15 is Blog Action Day; Bloggers to change conversation to poverty

Cyberspace group Bloggers Kapihan over the weekend called on Filipino bloggers all over the world to join the Blog Action Day 2008 on Oct. 15 by taking on the issue of poverty through text, photos, music and podcasts, video and microblogging.

The event website is at http://blogactionday2008.bloggerskapihan.com/ where Bloggers Kapihan posted instructions and resources for interested bloggers.

“On Oct. 15, we urge bloggers to unite and discuss poverty. It may be an essay, a story on how they may once be poor or their fears about falling to the ranks of the unemployed. It may also come in the form of a video or a podcast,” said Bloggers Kapihan crew member and journalist Anthony Ian Cruz Read more

Join the Blog Action Day on Oct. 15

Bloggers Kapihan invites all Filipino bloggers to take part in the Blog Action Day 2008 on Oct. 15.

This year’s edition takes on the issue of poverty, a reality we face every single day. On Wednesday, let’s take on this issue by blogging (or micro-bloggin) about it through text, audio, video or photos. You decide how.

Our poorest countrymen — the minimum-wage earners, the farmers, the unemployed and underemployed, the minorities et al — deserve to have their voices heard because their problem is our problem, their redemption is ours too.
