Today, Aug. 16, 2010, the Office of the President of the Philippines unveiled the new website of President Noynoy Aquino. I believe it is a new domain name under gov.ph. It seems when you type the old OP website address now (@ op.gov.ph), it now redirects to president.gov.ph. Still, I think the use of "president" makes it all clear and specific and this is a good move by the newly-created Presidential Communications Operations Office. Unlike the old presidential website which contained only boring official press releases, the magic word for the new website is ... Continue Reading...

Noynoy Aquino on the cover of the April 26 issue of TIME Magazine
Noynoy Aquino's campaign seems to have scored another PR coup with Noynoy being put on the cover of TIME Magazine's April 26, 2010 issue headlined "The New Aquino."

Shalani Soledad: getting to know Noynoy Aquino’s girlfriend
The Youth & Campus page, one of the Manila Bulletin's best sections edited by my kumare (and former boss, Ivy Lisa Mendoza) ran a very engaging article over the weekend about Shalani Soledad, the Valenzuela City Councilor who is also known as presidentiable Noynoy Aquino's girlfriend. It's a good read since the pretty (but shy) Shalani is usually not written about in the mainstream lifestyle & society sections. Second, it gives a first-hand insight into a man who's leading the surveys for the May 2010 elections. Some of the women which have been linked in the ... Continue Reading...
