Writer of Philippine Star’s The Freeman Newspaper copies off content from byahilo.com blog

1 Comment

These people in the traditional media will stop at nothing! First they feed off and make money out of pictures painstakingly taken by us bloggers, now they are also starting to copy/pasting content from blogs. You can read how a writer for local newspaper in Cebu has copy/pasted from Byahilo.com, a travel blog run by my friend Eric D. here: http://www.byahilo.com/2009/05/31/philippine-stars-the-freeman-newspaper-in-cebu-used-my-blog-content-without-permission/

They can juice us for now if they must but there will come a time that these newspaper will become extinct and blogs will replace their outdated and unethical methods. We’ll be on top of search engine results when that happens.

My postings here and Explore Iloilo have been sparse lately. I’ve been busy developing a new website called Everything Boracay (http://www.everythingboracay.com), which was made to help people plan their trip to Boracay. Visitors can find general information about Boracay, insider travel tips and guides, view a list of where to stay in Boracay, and even make online bookings through partner travel sites.

Looking for a job right now

Finally getting out the shackles of the educational system is great! I’ve never been more alive in my life. Basically, most of my days currently is -> Wake up during the late afternoon, Be in front of the computer for straight 12 hours, meals in between of course, search for nice torrents to download (movies/music/tv shows), sleep for 12 hours again. I must admit, this is what I’ve been dreaming of being able to experience but reality is slowly sinking in.

The college education that blogging bought me

24 Comments

I started putting Google Adsense ads on my blogs in January of 2006 but it wasn’t until three months later that I got my first adsense check and three months more that I got them every month, this was the time that I started Explore Iloilo (http://www.exploreiloilo.com). In 2007, I was able to earn a few hundred dollars a month. I was still in my third year in my Bachelor of Science in Nursing course in West Visayas State University – College of Nursing.
