<br />
<i><b>BAYBAYIN IS EVERYWHERE!</b></i><br />
<br />
That's our tagline for the new <a href="http://baybayinista.com/">Baybayinista.com</a> social networking site (SNS). But why Baybayinista? Well, Baybayin people are here to stay; they're here, there, or everywhere.<br />
<br />
Baybayinistas promote <i>Baybayin</i> as a living script. We are a community. We are continuing the legacy of its inventors as heirs, users, advocates, artists, educators and innovators with a cultural identity.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://baybayinista.com/">Baybayinista.com</a> is a social media platform where Baybayin people can post their unique<i><b> marks (mga tatak)</b></i> and be recognized. Each Baybayinista has distinctive signatures or prints. We would like to use our own strokes or typefaces but we are indebted to the original pre-Filipino natives who created them. We are also thankful to the scribes during the Spanish period who preserved the script somehow through their vocabulary books.<br />
<br />
So, today, we are calling your attention if you're a Baybayinista or simply a participant who is interested in spreading Baybayin script everywhere to beta test with us. Let's gather as a pioneering community establishing a network where we can be identified as brothers and sisters. <a href="https://www.baybayinista.com/">Join us at Baybayinista.com</a>. <i>Mabuhay!</i>

He got more or less 3K of spam comments per day for the whole month of June from avid FF fans — Ha! (<i>just kidding</i>) <br />
<br />
But why am I posting about Al Raposas? Well, you should all know that Al of <a href="https://history-ph.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Filipino Historian</a> blog is not a braggart blabbering online about his magna cum laude degree in history; he's a genuine digital citizen and a passionate blogger like me. He is quite exceptional at creating engaging content on olden times that people from various backgrounds can access freely. <br />
<br />
Now, if Al is proud of the niche that he has built on cyberspace, he has also shown his love for his fellow bloggers. And I'd like to thank him for giving <a href="https://firstfilipino.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">First Filipino Blog</a> a veritable <b>Blogger Recognition Award</b>!<br />

<b>What is this blog's value by the way?</b> <br />
<br />
<b>First Filipino</b> is an online archive of trailblazers with Filipino blood. This blog is already 12 years old; older than WikiPilipinas.org (launched 2007) that also features a "Who's Who" of prominent Filipinos. In fact, WikiPilipinas recognizes First Filipino Blog as a reference for its <a href="http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Filipino_Firsts" target="_blank">Filipino Firsts page</a>. It has captured the phrase "First Filipino" and "First Filipina" or "Filipino firsts" as a label to describe Filipino pioneers, innovators and achievers in various fields (arts, sciences, humanities, entertainment, governance, business, etc.).<br />
<br />
<b>Tips for new bloggers</b><br />
<br />
Before you embark on your digital journey as a blogger, you'll need 2 valuable things: <br />
<ul>
<li>Unique content, in my experience, is an audience-generator. </li>
<li>Audience/readers that benefit from your posts. </li>
</ul>
<br />
That's what blogging is all about — giving great unique content to your readers and, in response, readers acknowledging your blog's worth. And if you want to find out more of its beginnings, you'll have to read my <a href="https://firstfilipino.blogspot.com/2017/03/blogmaster-first-filipino.html" target="_blank">Blogmaster @ First Filipino</a> article. <br />
<br />

<span class="inline_editor_value"><span class="rendered_qtext"><br /></span></span>
<span class="inline_editor_value"><span class="rendered_qtext"></span></span><br />
<div class="qtext_para">
You see, blogs are the 90s' social networking sites and Pyra Labs' <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-qt-tooltip="blogger.com" href="https://www.blogger.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Blogger</a></span>, now Google's, is still the most popular blogging service.</div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<br /></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
My
geek journey as a blog user began at that time when WWW was as hot as
WWF (of course I'm a wrestling fan). Back then, my blogging was about
wholesome lifestyle, Filipino culture, and comic book to movie
adaptations. It wasn't unique so I trashed them all.</div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<br /></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
If
you're observant like most bloggers, you can be very overwhelmed by
millions of blogs out there in the blogosphere that's stylish, artistic,
or elegant. When I changed the theme of my blog into something that's
uniquely Filipino, my life as an internet user also changed. Soon
enough, after reviewing my notes on pioneering and leadership, I got the
"Aha! moment" I wanted and started blogging about Filipino
Trailblazers. It's kind of a <i>Who's Who</i> in Philippine history and culture.</div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<br /></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
My blog's title, <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-qt-tooltip="firstfilipino.blogspot.com" data-tooltip="attached" href="https://firstfilipino.blogspot.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">First Filipino</a></span>,
became a household name. It was surely amazing when I had received
invites then from different bloggers and journalists to share my link,
however, I remained anonymous.</div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<br /></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<span class="inline_editor_value"><span class="rendered_qtext"></span></span></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
I've been regularly, quietly, redesigning and posting online profiles of Filipino and <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-qt-tooltip="firstfilipina.blogspot.com" data-tooltip="attached" href="http://firstfilipina.blogspot.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Filipina pioneers</a></span>.
I call it archiving a good data. I've learned that from my computer
school. It was supposed to be my future thesis and portfolio project for
a scholarship grant. But family crisis had hit us so bad that I had no
time and money to pursue a comp sci or robotics degree at AMA
University. I only had an associate degree in computer, system analysis,
design and programming. I could not even afford a ".com" to become
socially relevant.</div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<br /></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
So I just continued blogging
even if life was hard on us. Eventually I made it as a home-based
career when monetization was available and blogs were selling like
hotcakes. Then the time came when <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-qt-tooltip="wikipedia.org" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a></span> and <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-qt-tooltip="wikipilipinas.org" href="http://wikipilipinas.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">WikiPilipinas</a></span> users have indexed blog posts, including mine, as reference links.</div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<br /></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
Today,
First Filipino enjoys a significant following and a 500–800K+
pageviews, thanks to the huge contribution of FeedBurner, Technorati and
other blog directories, search engines, and Facebook.</div>
<div class="qtext_para">
<br /></div>
<div class="qtext_para">
Ultimately I converted my blog posts into an ebook and published that in Amazon as <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-qt-tooltip="amazon.com" href="https://www.amazon.com/First-Filipino-Records-Pagaduan-Liwanag/dp/1530178320/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">First Filipino World Records</a></span> (FFWR).</div>

By Tim Liwanag<br />
<br />
<b>IN THE PRESENT WORLD,</b> everyone feels stress at one time or another, so to deal with it I focus on positivity to stay motivated and productive. Or, I'd literally search for Filipino role models, even do-gooders with influence and power, because they have the gift to change people's perspective. <br />
<br />
Uh-oh, the intimidating and domineering on pedestals are out! The untouchables are not only dated, they have no place in alternative media where new personalities are being shown with feelings and flaws. Have you noticed that lately? <br />
<br />
So, if you're looking for some Filipino Trailblazers who move, challenge, and persuade the way our digital world works today, here's a directory of truly authentic people you could learn from.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1530178320/">
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmB50L9E82IAKzDJzkv4wmuslwX49-e7TrdGjA1W6gSvyg1nsuPHByM2AHCkgnx_2cscHQhkNrsBSmhXcVXQwI76iEtTb3WqPPrYVBYZ4xodQK8ojs_n1OZJ5mFs41NDUDlfl89g/s320/firstfilipinoworldrecords.jpg" width="260" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Honestly, it's hard to promote a book without any celeb endorser nowadays. I'm simply anonymous, but I've learned to communicate through a laptop screen. And I'm not regarding myself as more gifted or special than others. So I've approached these trailblazers and asked them to consider promoting other iconic Filipinos, from Luis Manzano to Brillante Mendoza, from those who are exposed on stage and those who are working behind the curtains. I've privately messaged and tweeted to a 100+ celebs that First Filipino World Records is now available at Amazon.com. <br />
<br />
It wasn't quite what I was expecting, but some responded and accepted me as a friend in facebook. This is engaging the reader. Yes, celebs are readers too. Call it grit with the right motivation if you want, but this is the new social reality, this is digital citizenship. Oh, I've chatted a thousand times with somebody I've never met. This is how we connect online and I'm looking forward to meaningful conversations with them.<br />
<br />
I am sure that many will buy the book. Hey, it's not about being the best really; it's about being better than you were yesterday. It's about learning from those who did better. It's being other-conscious too. And this is what I see: I think First Filipino World Records will be a positive force in their lives!<br />

<b>Tim Pagaduan Liwanag</b> was raised in Manila, Philippines by his parents. His interest in history and pro-Filipino blogs became the groundwork for his book that promotes achievements of Filipino Trailblazers. Recently, his published work on the apocalypse of first-century Jewish nation gave him the recognition of being the first Filipino author to write a book on fulfilled eschatology.
<br />
<br />
Outside his intellectual hobbies and his fascination for ancient scripts like Baybayin, the pre-colonial Philippine writing system, he definitely likes watching superhero and sci-fi movies with family and friends.

<br />
After successfully organizing the Caruso Awards for painters under 35, Kidspizza awards for painters under 11, and the memorable Dante Alighieri night "Inferno di Caruso," the next logical step for Mina was to invite Filipino personalities in culture to witness another historical moment for local arts.<br />
<br />
As part of his and Arthur Manuntag's birthday celebration, the event saw Jose Mari Chan receive the Diploma of "Merit" and a Medal in recognition of his numerous and exemplary contributions to the World of Arts and Culture. This is a unique recognition and the first to a Filipino artist.
