A Damocles Sword on Bloggers; The Case of Ella Ganda Sued for Libel

The fight is heating up.  Sec. Esperanza Cabral is just starting her vengeance.  Yet blogger Ella Ganda is not bucking down.
It all started when Ella shared her grave concern over her blog on October 2009 about so many relief goods stagnated or the words she preferred to use was “rotting” on a DSWD warehouse, the lack of volunteers and the [...]

Stop Tweeting Political Stuffs, Bro. Seriously.
Stop Tweeting Political Stuffs, Bro.  Seriously.

I cannot really get this out of my head, just like the need to put up a high-speed internet connection at home: unless I write and share about it. Yes, another blogging issue for me if I may. Simply put it:  Blogging rant.

Why I Blog About Willie Revillame, Conrado de Quiros, Sen. Lito Lapid, and GMA
Why I Blog About Willie Revillame, Conrado de Quiros,  Sen. Lito Lapid, and GMA

Why have I chosen to blog about socio-political issues which is simply defined by many (and some of my students) as = “boring”.

Winning Against Blogging’s “Dark Side”; Morsels of Wisdom From the Jedi Bloggers

In the midst of the slow invasion of the “dark side” on the hearts of so many, select citizens coming from the different corners of the blogosphere stood up to fight with one heart and mind despite of their own weaknesses and frailties, to prevent the annihilation of the upright, the good and the true.  Like gold tested on fire, [...]

Four Full Proof Ways of Becoming the Most Annoying Blogger
Four Full Proof Ways of Becoming the Most Annoying Blogger

Master Yoda used to tell me that there are two ways of looking at a phenomenon as a Knight; that basically holds true also on our way of relaying such phenomenon to other people. We could either see it on a positive guise or just be consumed by the “dark side” and become an eternal cynic and perpetual pessismist:  seeing [...]
