Pinoy Passenger » PDA Little Dreamer Cristina de Leon:Vote for Talent!
PDA Little Dreamer Winner Cristina de Leon - and she has been a winner, most consistent in bringing outstanding, flawless performance as mentioned by her mentors and jurors. The sad part is either, the ABS CBN network is more inclined to promote the more “marketable” contestant, or that Filipinos may not be voting for talent, […] [Link]
Pinoy Passenger » Philippine Economy in the US Recession
Philippine Economy - a lot of talk in the news today, probably around the globe, is the predicted slip of the US economy into recession. The cause being pointed out by many for the 2008 US recession is the unwise increase in the supply of money credit, which consequently leads to inflation. Economists, businessmen, and […] [Link]
Pinoy Passenger » Multiply.com is better than Pay Per Click Marketing
Do you know why I sometimes think Multiply.com is better than pay-per-click ads? I’ve been with the Internet marketing industry as a Filipino SEO for almost 3 years. And yes, I’ve worked with Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, and MSN Ad Center. Adwords can make profitable returns to your business, but you are always challenged with […] [Link]

Pinoy Passenger » American singing a Tagalog song
A former co-worker and fellow SEM Specialist posted this link on SEO Philippines. It was just both funny and amazing actually to see an American seeing a purely Tagalog song… a rock-OPM at that. Since June is the month of Philippine Independence, I’d like to share how this foreign buddy loved to sing and play a […] [Link]
Pinoy Passenger » Philippine Flag Day: God Heal our Land
Riding along with the Philippine national flag bandwagon, just to recall - the longest trail of Philippine flag holders was witnessed here in my hometown Cavite, from Imus to Dasmarinas last June 1st. It is known as the First Wagayway Festival. I was not exactly compelled to blog about it because the event simply brought me […] [Link]
Pinoy Passenger » Increased Transpo Fare in the Country
It is just right that I blog about the new fare increase here at Pinoypassenger.com. Recently (or was it yesterday), the LTFRB has increased the fare by P 0.50 for public utility vehicles. That makes P 8.00 as the official minimum transportation fare. At a news report from GMA News, it was stated that the […] [Link]
Pinoy Passenger » Iron Man – Action Film inside a Political Story
Iron Man - It was Wednesday of last week when my boyfriend and I watched Iron Man.

And when I got engaged to the whole eye-opener story… With […] [Link]

Pinoy Passenger » Rice Shortage in the Philippines: How to Conserve the Supply
There is a question on the usage of the word “shortage” in the latest national issue battling the Philippines. Does the “shortage” in rice really exist? Maybe it does, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the significant decrease in the farmer’s yield. I bet you’re thinking what I’m thinking – rice hoarding. As per Secretary Arthur Yap, […] [Link]
Pinoy Passenger » Overseas Filipino Workers - Modern Day Heroes?
In 5 Filipino families, how many do you think have relatives abroad? Relatives included in the pool of our overseas Filipino workers, or OFWs? I bet more than half of that number would raise their hands. Just some quick stats about the Overseas Filipino Worker: There are more than 11 million overseas Filipinos worldwide. That makes […] [Link]
Pinoy Passenger » Pacquiao’s Win versus the Truth
For the pioneer post of Pinoy Passenger, I thought it good to feature the Philippine’s “Pambansang Kamao” - Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. After a very controversial match with Juan Manuel Marquez, the latest issue now is Pacman’s call for unity among his countrymen - which of course is well-applauded by Malacañang. Here’s a line from his speech: “My only […] [Link]
