About the Blogger

This space is a venue for self-expression, a release, an outlet for insanity squeezed thru inspiration and, well, most of the times, the lack thereof. - me

Hiyee! This is Iva, and am your host. Hehehe. Okay, serious now… I started blogging at around 2002, when portals and message boards are the “in-thing”, and blinkies are hot cyber commodities.

I’m a communications specialist by profession, and a graphic artist on-the-side. I’m a technical writer (ows? haha!), a lecturer (ows no. 2!), and an all-around handygirl — the last part, I’m just kidding. Anyway, if you’ve already met me, err, my serious “me”, this blog might give you a glimpse on who I am when not at work. Hahaha!

So, I bet by now, it’s clear that this blog is more like another “part” of me. I love the media and almost everything about it, and I find it fun to observe how things are developing in the local industry. Plus, I guess it has a lot to do with me being a frustrated media personality (masscom grad here, but not in the media… only a bit).

Anyway, I put up TheFilipinoWeb initially as a pet project, with my friend, Etten, to promote the love for everything Pinoy (Etten writes about stuff like living in the province, or doing business since she’s a super entrep)!

We want to make it known that the Filipinos are a great group of people, and that we are making a huge impact in this world. So, from time to time, we feature Pinoys worth admiring — yep, like the young sudoku champion, or Gemberly, the Pinay Puzzle Queen (If you wanna be featured, just drop us an email at admin @ thefilipinoweb.com)!

By the way, if you think you’re worth a feature here, say, you’re a blogger, just drop us a line… and we’ll hook up with you..

Thanks muchos! Maraming salamat, po.

Support TheFilipinoWeb!
