Welcome!
Blogging is about ‘being heard.’
-Abe Olandres and Connie Veneracion
The Internet Society Program (ISP) of the U.P. College of Law is pleased to announce the holding of the 1st Philippine Blogging Summit—an open event where Pinoy bloggers and newbies can discuss everything and anything about blogging.
ISP recognizes the pioneering efforts of the originators of Pinoy blogging. Through their initiative, blogging became an effective tool for disseminating opinion and personal thoughts on a wide array of topics. The Filipino blogging community has since grown. And Pinoy blogging has become a vibrant and revolutionary medium of communication.
Hence, the summit aims to explore the potential social and political impact of blogging, as well as, document the history of blogging in the Philippines and encourage the growth of Pinoy blogging.
Globally, blogging is fast becoming a relevant social phenomenon. Blogging has gradually emerged as an effective tool that will have an impact on a broad spectrum—from political discourse to science and technology, and corporate governance to employment, among others.
Through this summit, therefore, ISP also wishes to engage the collective thoughts of our Pinoy bloggers and gather ideas on Pinoy blogging as a socially relevant phenomenon.
