Cebu Bloggers meet Filipino Voices
Posted on 29 November 2008 by Michael Sinjin Pineda
The Cebu Bloggers Society met Nick of FilipinoVoices.com yesterday, November 22, 2008 at Bo’s Cafe, Ayala, around four in the afternoon. FilipinoVoices.com is a collaborative blog of Filipino bloggers which focuses on news, politics, and social commentary.
The main agenda of the meet-up was to discuss the participation of Cebu bloggers in citizen journalism, particularly socio-political blogging. The goal is to form a movement wherein local based bloggers become reliable sources on socio-political issues and help in increasing awareness on issues.
Here is an excerpt of the copy of Overview and Responsibilities sheet handed by Nick:
The bloggers will be our correspondents, playing an important role in providing key insight, information, and analysis where they will most likely be informed that other bloggers and writers from outside of the area.
Today is the beginning of Cebu Bloggers’ participation in a grassroot movement that will take back our voice, and finally give back to the people, the power that is rightly theirs.
Thus the Cebu bloggers will be crucial so that our readers will have a more updated, more in depth look on the issues that are facing Cebu specifically. Opinions, views, and analysis coming from not outside, but those who live and breathe Mindanao..
Sinjin, X, Empress, Vanjahn, Rodel, Atenean, and Clarence were present at the meeting.

will Filipinovoices give orientation on how to go about being a citizen journalist? As much as it is becoming a trend worldwide, credibility and responsibility are still to be desired.

wow! ka nice diri sa CBS wui… it opened up my mind about avenues to speak up…i’ve been trying to search for a society in which i would fit in and would hear me out… and the idea of collaborating with filipinovoices is bridging the gap of individuals who wanted to be heard…such a good idea…
hope i could be a member of CBS… : )
