Phew. Sorry if I didn’t post much this past week, my final exams prevented me from blogging. One more project defense this Monday and I’m officially free from school works! Goodluck to me!

Here’s a list of interesting articles and news about the Pinoy blogosphere during the past two weeks. Oh, and also some Pacquiao news! Enjoy!

Malu Fernandez, one of the most remembered (and most hated) figues on the Pinoy blogosphere because of her display of ascerbic wit on her article about OFWs, is back with a new one about blogging and the nature of Pinoy bloggers on her column in Manila Standard Today last March 10, 2008.

Indio. This was a name given to us by our Spanish colonists long ago to remind us of our inferiority to their race. It was used as an insult and of mockery that suggests that we are nothing more but ignorant savages.
