Along with the launching of Filipino Voices.com we would like to also announce the simultaneous launching of a writing project. The Philippine Issues writing project. You decide the issue, in your own words, in your own style. This is a way in which everyone can participate, and this is also a way in which our readers will realize the multi dimensional aspect of the challenges we face as a nation.
So whether you are a technology blogger, a personal blogger, socio-political blogger, or a lifestyle blogger, anyone can participate, and is encouraged to participate.
This will be a two month long writing project, each Friday we will announce those who have participated and the articles they have written.
This is about the issues that you feel need to be written about. Whether it is in the technology sector, our economy, social justice, politics, it’s all up to you, be thoughtful and creative.
At the end of the two months, we will raffle off prizes for those who have participated in the writing project. Among the prizes will be P10,000 worth of books, cash prizes, and t-shirts. We will officially put up the list of prizes to be awarded in the coming weeks.
But, honestly, this isn’t really about the prizes, it’s all well and good, yes, but at the end of the day, we hope you can join this writing project because you truly want to write about the issues that are affecting The Philippines. To shed light on these issues, should be our number one goal.
Here’s how to join. Just leave a comment. A link to the url where your article is located, or if you don’t have a blog, you can simply email the article to nick (at) tingog (dot) com.

Hi Benj.
Question: do articles that have already been published in print qualified? I ask becuase I post the stuff I write for PhilStar in my blog.
Anyway, here's something I'd like to submit: http://dogberryexie.blogspot.com/2008/05/preying-…
Exie, the rules don't rule on that at all, so I guess everything's fair game.
Just make sure you fulfill the following:
"Here’s how to join. Just leave a comment. A link to the url where your article is located, or if you don’t have a blog, you can simply email the article to nick (at) tingog (dot) com."
Thanks, Benj. Will do.
