WikiPilipinas and Filipiniana.net

For the past three months, I have been very busy with a new task. I have been assigned to work on Vibal's online endeavors-- the wikipilipinas.org and filipiniana.net.

WikiPilipinas is an editable encyclopedia/almanac about anything and everything about the Philippines. Filipiniana.net, on the other hand, is a digital library. My job is to handle marketing of these two great sites. I am also contributing regularly to Wikipilipinas on topics I like such as women's movement, rock music, my college organizations and my hometown. It supports the Web2.0 movement, meaning, free knowledge. I am glad to be a part of this revolutionary project. My wish is for everybody to use this site and contribute articles, not because I am in charge of the marketing, but because I really believe in the project. It is a storage of information about our country and about who we are as Filipinos. These sites show that we Filipinos are knowledgeable people.
