Proud To Be a Part of The Book



You don't have to be a good writer to write something. The only requirement is to write simply to be understood. I have seen a lot of good writings in the internet in the form of articles, opinions, ideas, biographies and stories. I have seen also poems and puns. Some writings can be seen also in magazines and newspapers, not necessarily in the internet.

But most of these writers have only one or two articles and therefore not enough material to be published as a book. And yet, many of you want to publish your writings.

So the idea of collecting all these various writings hit me. I myself cannot come up with enough material. I decided to offer my services to publish anybody's worthwhile writings in one fairly good sized book, in paperback form. Your ability to publish is solved in a nutshell.


I am offering these services free of charge because of the availabiliy of print-books-on-demand system nowadays. I have acquired the knowledge the hard way. I am now in a position to help publish writings of anybody. I can produce the book at no cost to you.

Why put your writings in a book? And not just in the internet? It's all a matter of choice. But I recommend that your writings be retained in a hard copy or in book form or printed form for posterity. The book will always be there among your book collections or in libraries. Not all use the internet. The internet access has its technical problems. Writings in the internet may be erased erroneously. Free storage is hard to access. Paid storage may be returned or lost. CDs, DVDs, memory cards, and other forms of electronic storage need players. In book form, you don’t need a gadget or electronic player. It’s just there to access directly.

For those looking for a publisher, specially if you have a large collection of your own writings, or if you have written a novel or long story, I can offer to produce the paperback book under your own authorship. Just tell me.

I limit myself to one particular type or size of book. It must be a paperback, which is 6 x 9 inches and not more than 200 pages.


Book sales is risky business. In most cases, I cannot even recover my initial costs. It’s not really free of costs. As authors, you must help in marketing these books that contain your writings.


Any royalties earned from publishing, no matter how small, will go to buying piglets for families in the Philippines. It takes 50 to 100 books to sell before I could even afford to buy one piglet for one family. That's how hard it is to earn royalties. I am absorbing all the risks, but at least, I am able to publish your work and I hope you are happy.

When you decided to be part of these writings collection and publishing, you are unaware that you had become already involved in my piglets programs, in your own little way.


My piglets program concept is described in the following websites:

Want to watch movies almost free?


Use  your CITIBANK Credit card anywhere and keep the charge slips (those small papers you sign)
 

Simply present your Citibank Credit Card and submit your valid charge slip at the following participating cinemas:
AYALA CINEMAS, EASTWOOD CINEMAS, ROBINSONS MOVIEWORLD, SHANG CINEPLEX, SM CINEMAS.

Please share this good news to your family and friends!

TIPS:
Buying in the Supermarket? 
Make the cashier swipe your card every time it registers P1500.

Your Charge slips until December 31 are valid for use and redemption until January 31, 2010.



I already tried using a few of my slips, one usually adds P20-30 since each moviehouse has a different price range and the P1500 slip only covers a P130 movie ticket


But still good news right?

Yes We Have Filipino Pride!

What is the exact word for FILIPINO PRIDE in our native tongue? 

If there's no word for it, how can we express or show it?

It all started when Dale David was in Boston in 2000. In a party he asked another guest in a party if he was Filipino. This person loked at him in the eye and said NO, though Dale was so sure he was. This incident bothered him so much that he shared it with some friends ... who had similar encounters.

Why deny being a Filipino? We deny something we are not proud of. But there is so much to be proud of as a Filipino.

Today, we give PRIDE a face.
FILIPINO PRIDEis born.
A book that would give Filipinos examples of people, events, and things to be proud of.  
The first volume has 64 entries spanning 8 categories - History, Literature, Business, Performing Arts, Culture and Values, and Science.
It is a work in progress which aims to complete 365 articles in all - like a daily devotional.
You can be a part of it just log on to http://www.filipinomatters.org/ for their 2nd volume.

What's best is they are giving the book for FREE!

Oh, before we forget, there is an appropriate phrase for Pinoy Pride.
TAAS NUO KAHIT KANINO.

Let us!

The Learning Center (TLC) gives Tender Loving Care


 
 
 
 

Would you think that all the above items were made by
students challenged with autism, mental retardation, Down syndrome,
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or other developmental and behavioral conditions?


I wouldn't.

But happy to say they are.

Made by
students, children and adults,  ages 18 and above in
The Learning Center (TLC) Inc. in Merville Park Subdivision, Parañaque City,
TLC is a special education center that has workshop programs for adult students
that train them on vocational skills, giving them opportunities
for independence and livelihood.

TLC is one of several partners of Gifts & Graces Fair Trade Foundation Inc.
(tel. 7592525; email info@giftsandgraces.com), an NGO
that promotes the livelihood programs of marginalized sectors,
helping them develop and market their products here and overseas.

Here is another newsworthy group of Pinoys who give hope to our country by continually
caring and loving  all that is Filipino.

Mabuhay kayo!
