Hi Eli! For the Independence Day, I think swak yung Rizal mo in a snowy, winter setting. Lagyan na lang ng evocative text.

Pakibato lahat sa amin ni Ariel, as in "copy furnished' style.

Manong, the magazine started as a magazine about condos in the Philippines, with OFWs as target audience. Ariel Valerio is the founding editor. The story on the evolution of this publication may be found in Ariel's site.

Recently, the publishers decided on expanding the magazine's global reach and scope. The first issue starts with the Global Pinoy-US East Coast Edition which will be launcehd this April.

Kung may oras ka, mamasyal ka sa workshop para maipakilala kita sa aming resource persons na sina Dr. Luis Gatmaitan at Amy Bonifacio-Ramolete.Congrats! Isa ka pala sa mga editor ng Global Pinoy.

English --although admittedly colonial -- is a neutral language among the Pinoys abroad.

Tagalog (also called P/Filipino, which is a misnomer) is still a sore issue among non-Tagalog speaking regions in the country.

Yes, pls Ms. Erlinda. The Global Pinoy mag has 4 separate editions for all Pinoys in the four corners of the world.

Hey Eli, sasabihin ko kay Doc Luis ang pakumusta mo. Sa limang regional sites (sa Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao) kami magkasama ni Luis. Nagpapa-workshop sa mga bata. Padala ka naman ng contribution (short story, essay o poetry in Filipino o English) para sa ANI, literary annual ng CCP. Ang tema: Spirituality and Healing. Sana matanggap ko hanggang May 15 (extension ng deadline yan para sa iyo). CHI, sana magpadala ka rin ng contribution via email. Ang tagal ko nang di nakakabasa ang mga kuwento (fiction) mo.

Hermie
