This one's for every Filipino.Online Philippine news easily equates to inquirer.net or abs-cbnnews.com. That's saying news about Filipinos and for Filipinos usually mean something negative (when it comes to politics and governmental affairs). I'm advertising here a good read. Visit Manilamail.com.
The site provides this description:
A reference point for understanding the Philippines and Filipinos. The site carries news and features, materials culled from Manila media and Postscript, a popular column of Federico D. Pascual Jr. in the Philippine STAR, the No.1 paper in the country.The description smacks of conceit but I can let that pass. I've been reading it for months now and I can say it's worth the bandwidth. If you're tired of hearing so much negativity about Philippine government, Mr. Pascual offers alternative insights and perspectives. I still read (the generally negative and most often overly biased) abs-cbnnews.com and inquirer.net and I can say having Manilamail.com as an additional read somehow neutralizes things...or keeps sanity on board.
Philippine media today generally looks, sounds, and feels appalling. People like Che-che Lazaro and Dong Puno should be back on the helm or should be exerting greater leadership. Well, thanks to the Internet we always have access to resources like Manilamail.com.
