An Open Letter To The CBCP

“And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?” – Luke 6:39

To the CBCP Bishops,

Beloved Bishops of The Catholic Church.

I read your Pastoral Statement and I can’t help but think of what went wrong in the Catholic Church.

I can understand your search for truth, that you profess that you came as pastors and not as politicians “whose vocation (it) is to order society towards the common good.”

In memory of (D)E(a)DSA…

“To those who said let GMA finish her term… To those who said let the rule of law work for her impeachment… To those who said theres’ no better alternative than GMA… Need I say more?” – RIP EDSA 1 (1986-2008)

“Baguio Is a welcome break after the problems in Manila eats me up”. I said to myself. Panagbenga (Baguio Flower Festival) offered a more relatively healthy way of celebrating EDSA 1, that on the eve of the protest the activist in me who’s slowly turning to a pessimist/anarchist wants to turn a blind eye even for a few days but after reading the admission of GMA in knowing about the “Flawed NBN-ZTE deal” it hit me smack right on the face that no amount of high latitude climate could ever hinder the number of cuss words I uttered.

Travails of an SEO specialist|Problem #2: Keyword research advise

dsc01673Sometimes when you’re looking for really good keywords you have to ask some very basic questions:

(The list are as follows but you can also think creatively on what you can add.)

Who - are looking for your site.
What – do they need from your site.
Where – where will they find your products/site.
Why - why they need your products/site.
How - will they benefit from your site.

Seems easy, but really, it’s something you’d like to ponder on before venturing online.

Praying for a revolution

“It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.”
- Confucius

Last night I was able to catch some few scenes from the show Probe. They featured the late cardinal Sin and how he decided to go against the Church he’s serving and fought against the dictatorship.

A number of points were raised (It really pains me for not being able to watch the entire episode) by Fr. James Reuter but the most significant if not the most heartbreaking, he said “The church is not as united as before.”

Questions

Last sunday I was watching the mass at La Salle Greenhills in support of Jun Lozada. And as I was listening to the sermon of the priest I thought perhaps we are on the verge of a moral breakdown thats why we need such people to stir up our conscience.

The priest lambasted the government of GMA and shouted support for Lozada. “Well, I thought it was a mass for Lozada isn’t it? It is just typical that they will even dance for him if they want to” the cynic in me said.

Why Should You Outsource Your SEO In The Philippines?

Why Should You Outsource Your SEO In The Philippines?

By: Carol Bustos-Santiago
Outsourcing has evidently been the smart thing to do for American and European businesses even way before the onset of the global economic turmoil. At the turn of the century, customer service hotlines were directed to developing countries such as the Philippines and India. As a matter of fact, the strong demand for offshore call centers made Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) one of the leading industries in the Philippines today. As wages for professionals soar in an unstable economy, companies in the first world countries realized it would be highly beneficial for them to outsource other aspects of their businesses for obvious cost-effective reasons. In the recent years, web design, copywriting, content editing, search engine optimization and other professional services were sought from the Philippines.

Does Google AdSense Affect Rankings?

Does Google AdSense Affect Rankings?

For all I know Google adsense doesn’t affect ranking, unless your website is a Made for Adsense (MFA) site chances are if you have good content and good number of back links then you are on the safe side of Googles rankings.

But theres a downside in having Google Adsense:

1. Google Adsense have the tendency to steal your customers if you are affiliate marketer.

2. Google Adsense have the tendency to self regulate itself and mark you as spam even if you are really just as innocent as ever.  (I’ve heard lots of fellow SEO Specialist who experienced this problem)

Aspiring Philippine Presidential Candidates using the power of the internet and websites in their campaign

Aspiring Philippine Presidential Candidates using the power of the internet and websites in their campaign

dsc0167323There’s a war going on.

It is a war of information while leveraging the power of the internet in giving that information as fast and reliable to each and everyone’s desktops.

And now this war has finally come at the doorsteps and the attention of running Presidential candidates in the Philippines.

It is no secret that the power of the internet played a dramatic role in the campaign of Senator Chiz Escudero following the number of contacts and traffic he got from his social networking sites (friendster, facebook, etc) not to mention the direct traffic from his website and the simple link that catapulted him in today’s youth.
