My dearest Son:
One of these days, when you have completed your studies I am sure you will have the opportunity to visit many countries. And in your travels you will witness a bullfight.
In Spanish bullfighting as you know, a man – the matador – is pitted against an angry bull.
I was about to write this at the eve of our national heros birthday and boy was I intrigued and happy to find out that one of the (Search Engine Optimization) SEO Specialist in the Philippines is the great great great granddaughter of the first love of our National Hero Jose Rizal!
Anyway the name of the grand daughter is Jade-Ceres Dolor a very cheerful person with always a smile on her face. I met her after one of the SEO meet ups in makati and when I visited her facebook I was very happy to chance upon this picture of her and her grandmother. In her own words shes the eldest girl of the 4th generation from her (Segunda Katigbak) first child.

Paint my picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all, but remark all these roughnesses, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me. — Oliver Cromwell
Two views of Rizal that scan the man behind the monument are clearly headed for controversy. A startling anatomy of the hero is offered in “The First Filipino” by León Maria Guerrero and in “Rizal from Within” by Ante Radaic.
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.

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.
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)
There’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.
