On reading about Edgar Jopson

I’m reading a book about Edgar Jopson (Edjop) a student activist back in the 60’s.
The book was written by Benjamin Pimentel.
I haven’t finished reading it but then i noticed that most problems facing the youth today are almost the same as before…
There are the moderates and the radicals (though not as staunchly supported nowadays).

The youth of their time were looking for ways and means and reasons for the problems and difficulties of their time aside from the popular sentiment and the success of then peoples revolution in China. Some great leaders placed their trust to a marxist structure having the maoist line of thinking.

City of God

I saw a movie about a ghetto that was once a project of the government of Brazil. All the poor people were placed in this ghetto. The main idea in doing so is to separate the rich from the poor, the literate from the illiterate and the barbarians from the civilized.

The Haunting of the Philippines

A specter is haunting the Philippines today.

In this age of microchip technology where almost everyone is dependent on computers and the internet we have come to a position of unequal opportunities for our children. To those that are adept at understanding the complexities of a computer and the power of information presented by the internet, they shall be aptly called gifted. While those that are inept and incapable of realizing the power of those above shall be relegated to the dustbins of history.

Why I choose not to vote

I sent a txt message to my friends and told them that im not going to vote.
because of the following reasons:

1. The people who are going to supervise it are the same people who orchestrated GMA’s way to presidency last 2004.

2. The elections are going to be held under the GMA government.

For one I refuse to recognize this government, other than that I honestly think that nothing good will come out of the current Comelec as it is today. So why bother voting when the next thing you know your ballots are going to be used to count the asshole of a candidate you sincerely detest?

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)
