Maiden post
I was arranging my gears and preparing to take photos for the mass in memory of the death anniversary of my late mother. I was in one room when I saw this little figurine on our family altar. The morning sun seeping through the thin white curtain created a dramatic lighting to this half statue of the Virgin Mary. At once, the scene captivated and caused my creative juices to trickle once more after having been glued on my work desk for weeks, and with very little chance to do creative photography.

A lot of my friends have been telling me about Alberto’s Pizza.
Pakalista Jon was raving mad about Alberto’s Garden Special Pizza for its very affordable (9″ Php 72.00) yet decent tasting pizza.
Hungry after a night out, it was about time to pay Alberto a visit and try their pizzas. Read DiningCebu.com’s review of Alberto’s Pizza here: Breaking the Dawn with Alberto’s Pizza

From Vigan to a Newspaper and finally to the Courts: Copyright Infringement
Here’s an interesting story concerning a pinoy photoblogger…
It all started with this post:
Visiting Vigan
“The travel bug bit me again!…” …”Just got back from Vigan…”
Then came the violation:
Major Daily Violates Photographer¢s Copyright and Intellectual Property
…”the MB Feature of Vigan by MAX BALLESTEROS (march 21, 2007 B-5)…”
And now…
Philippine Photographer Sues Major Daily for Copyright Infringement.
“I finally did it.. with the help of my copyright lawyer atty vera. i sued a major daily, a 108 year old newspaper that used my photo without permission. The same newspaper that threatened to slap me with a criminal case if continued my claim.”
What’s next? coming soon… 
This is an issue that bloggers should really be vigilant about, right? I guess this hasn’t been the only instance of violations done against bloggers by the main stream media. Just a guess hehe. Maybe there were others that haven’t been noticed or maybe have been noticed but never been raised. Just maybe. It’s a good thing that someone already stood up and brought the issue forward. We will surely learn from this issue as it unfolds. Let’s just hope that justice will be served.
Do you know any other instances of violations done against fellow pinoy bloggers?
