How Many Pinoy Expats and OFW Blogs and Bloggers?

I come across this question while working on the sponsorship letter.

Okay, hope matulungan niyo ako.

There are currently 24 Million Filipino Internet Users according to ACNielsen and Yahoo.

Great numbers went to checking email, online messaging, online gaming, and social networking

3.3 Millions are reading Blogs

2.3 Million actually have Blogs

But the question is

how many Pinoy Expats/OFW Blogs and Bloggers meron?

The only answer to this question is KABLOGS.

PEBA is unique because it showcase the best Filipino Bloggers abroad and come to light their wonderful and sad stories and the challenges that becomes their strength.

But KABLOGS is unique as well. It is the one and only site that has a network of Filipino Expats and OFW Blogsites. A blog links in the common term. A one-stop-bloghop.

KABLOGS effort is primarily to encourage OFW's to blog. Another is to engaged in projects and outreach program, and to help OFW's in distress and in need. Currently in its roaster list is more than 300 blogs of Expats, OFW's and OFW- supporters.

Hindi natin maconsider na basis ang data na yun kasi I believe marami pang mga bloggers sa abroad na hindi nakasama sa list na yan. Will it be safe to say 1,000 Expats and OFW Bloggers?

I believe so. I believe even more than that!

Count mo na lang sa Multiply at Friendster na sinubukang suyurin ng KABLOGS pero mahirap kasi ang ibang blogs walang location or profile info kung saan sila.

Count mo ang MySpace, Live Journal, Wordpress, Typepad, and many other hosting sites.

I wish KABLOGS will undertake a mission, to gather more OFW blogs and place it in one house. Kung may alam kayo na hindi pa nakalista sa KABLOGS, baka pwede niyong mapalista dun. We also hope na magkaroon na ng sariling site ang KABLOGS, placing in one house a Help Center, a Social Station, a Job Center, and Bloglinks. Kung meron na tayong pera, we can purchase a domain and webhost, or maybe may angel na pwede magdonate dyan, and may magaling na webmaster na magaling website design to manage this thriving site.

Ang PEBA naman on the other hand exist dahil may KABLOGS. So hand in hand itong dalawang site.

KABLOGS gather OFW's and Expats Blogs para PEBA can honor them. PEBA will look for sponsors and donors para KABLOGS will have money for its missions, projects and outreach program.

It is a joint effort, and when I started them, I have no idea what I am doing, so long that I know it is good for the OFW's. Now I am beginning to realize.

Ang mga simple dreams na ito, KABLOGS and PEBA is becoming a legacy,

and its all because of you!

And maraming-maraming salamat sa tiwala at suporta!
