How I View Blogging Ethics

I just received this email from a fellow blogger doing her thesis about Blogging Ethics.

This is my honest answers to the following questions. Any reactions are accepted.

Name (optional): Francis Daniel Maning
Age: 26
Sex:M
Location:Cebu Philippines
Blog Title and Category: iStayl Sugbo: A collection of Random Thoughts. Sushi Chef from Mizu Japanese Restaurant. Subscribe and get updates on new trends, useful stuff, and more..

QUESTIONS:

A. On your personal ethical standards
1. What is your perception on ethics? Do you think you are applying it in your blogging activity? Why or why not?
Answer:
Ethics refers to a properly defined guideline being used by an individual, in this case a blogger, which he could use somehow to make himself determine things from right or wrong. Follow what is acceptable and be a model of truth.

Yes, by doing so you would earn “Trust” from your readers, in turn you would get more subscribers.

2. What ethical standards do you apply in your blog? Do you currently follow any or a personal Code of Ethics?
Answer:

Since my blog is not that complicated and have not reached its full potential yet, I am basing my ethical principles on my conscience, conformity with the law, fairness, and the passion of delivering quality information to readers.

3. If you were to draft your own Blogger’s Code of Ethics, what principles of ethics (example: honesty, accountability, truth, etc) will you include in it? Briefly elaborate on each and give examples on how you can show each principle.
Answer:
If I were to draft my own bloggers code of ethics, I would base it on the Rotarians 4 way test.. ^_^

1. Is it the Truth?
Honesty and Fairness. A blogger should be honest and be fair in delivering information. Provide information as much as possible by disclosing and elaborating the source (if any). A blogger should not post untruthful and biased articles that might mislead and harm users. Also be accountable for the things that you write and always be ready for change and accept suggestions from readers.

2. Is it fair to all Concerned?
Always keep in mind, that everything you write might affect readers. A blogger should think about his social responsibility.

3. Will it build goodwill and better friendship?
A blogger should always be kind in writing articles. It should not provoke hate and discrimination. Nor it would cause harm between 2 parties, products, and personalities. Etc..

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
A blog should be constructive and not destructive to the community.


4. Among the many blogging problems and ethical issues that arise now, which do you believe should be addressed?
Answer:
There are many issues at hand that should be looked upon in the present time. But there is one deviation on ethical standards that a blogger should not practice. And that is how business individuals use blogs and bloggers to gain search engine rankings thru BUYING LINKS.

5. Personally, what do you think is the importance of having ethical standards in blogging?
Answer:

Having ethical standards in blogging would give you confidence and to minimize the problems that you may encounter in the future.
B. On the Bloggers’ Code of Ethics

1. Have you come across any Bloggers’ Code of Ethics online? If so, what version is it? Answer: NONE

2. If not online, how did you learn about it? What was your primary reaction?
Answer:
N/A

3. Do you agree with the provisions stated there, and the principles that were tackled?
Answer:
N/A

4. Do you apply the Bloggers’ Code of Ethics in your blogging? Why and how do you apply it (through your language, designs, etc)?
Answer:
N/A


5. Does the knowledge of the existing Bloggers’ Code of Ethics pressure you to follow it? Why?
Answer:
N/A



6. Do you think it is necessary to have a Bloggers’ Code of Ethics? Is it really implementable? Why or why not?
Answer:
Yes, the blogosphere needs to have a Bloggers’ Code of Ethics. Is not a question if its implementable or not. As of the moment, we should focus on creating a body that would implement it to start with.

7. Is it possible for the entire blogosphere to follow a single Bloggers’ Code of Ethics? Why or why not?
Answer:
It depends upon the individual. I doubt that the whole blogging community will follow it. However, it would be nice to know that somebody would be starting it.

8. How do you think will a Bloggers’ Code of Ethics change the way bloggers blog? Or will it not affect anything?
Answer:
If it affects a blogger in any way, for sure I see it as a long term investment. When you write quality blog, you get good results. If you follow the rules, everything will be fine.

9. What do you think is the relationship of Code of Ethics and freedom of expression?
Answer:
That’s a very sensitive issue. However, I see no difference between both if they both serve the same purpose. For truth and fairness.

The Philippines - My country, my home

The Philippines - My country, my home

“My home, my country, my native land, my Philippines.”

The Philippines is the place of my birth and may it also be the place where I shall cease my life. The Philippines is rich in treasures, God given natural beauty abound the archipelago. There are many beautiful destinations that one could venture, both local and tourists alike. The Philippines is rich in wonders, to name a few such as the Tubataha Reef, The Rice Terraces, The Chocolate Hills of Bohol, the perfectly cone shaped Mayon Volcano, etc.

The Philippines is also rich in culture. Influenced by different parts of the globe, the Philippine culture has become a melting pot of different heritages and ancestry. Majority of which are the Indo, Malays, and Chinese races. Yet, no matter where they may belong, a natural born Filipino will always be a Filipino. Born in the land of the Pearl of the Orient and the Cradle of the Brave.

By blood or by heart, Filipinos are close family oriented. Filipinos are hospitable and have high respect for elders. Filipinos are also very grateful people. They are hardworking and they enjoy life and are high in spirits. Intelligent and open minded. Filipinos are God fearing.

Every Filipino that have left for a job abroad or have migrated abroad, surely would come back home and visit their native land. Every pinoy have their own lasting bond from whence they were born. They treasure memories they have left behind in their homeland. This is evident in the way that almost all Filipinos who left their country would always contact and ask “Kumusta na dha sa Pinas? (hows everything there in the Philippines?). And would surely come back and visit.

All these and more, makes me proud I am a Filipino. The sparkle of your flag is victory that shines. Its stars and sun shall forever never dim.

Artificial Traffic vs Content Driven Traffic

Artificial Traffic vs Content Driven Traffic

In this post, I would like to share with you a little idea of mine that might work in increasing your blog traffic. I am not an expert in SEO, but there is one technique that I guess might work for you if you are still starting your blog.

That is to write, write, write, and write. Create volume content. Write new post as long as you can. Give your blog a post each day. By creating newer content will give you a higher chance that your blog be ranked on search engines. In turn you will be gaining natural traffic from search engines, which is a good idea.

Avoid using techniques that would give your blog artificial traffic, like auto surfing, card dropping, etc. Although I am not really against that, since some web masters still claim that it would also help you increase your Alexa traffic ranking, although artificially.

I have done that too and indeed it surely gave my blog an Alexa Traffic rank of 750,000. But when I decided to stop because I was tired of it, my Alexa rank dropped to 2,000,000.

Having a 2million Alexa traffic rank is not a good sight, but it is the truth. Too far from the artificial 750,000. So if I were you, don’t give your blog a LIE Traffic. Now I’m on my way to doing my best to increase my Alexa page ranking naturally thru my posts.

Below is a Graph showing the unique site visit of http://istaylsugbo.blogspot.com. As you can see in the illustration, on the month of April, I started to learn acquiring traffic from auto surf, card dropping, blog hopping, etc. Traffic gained was amazing, it went to over 2,000 unique page visits for the month of April, however, I stopped doing it because all I see from the referrals was more from these artificial traffic generating sites. Which, doesn’t sound fulfilling on my part.

(note: as of February 12, 2009)

By the month of September, blog traffic went back to its normal/natural 100 unique visits each month. Doesn’t sound good, disappointed, and discouraging. However, I realized when I looked at the referrals on the report, it showed that most traffic sources are from search engines, which gave me an idea that if only I could create content that might interest search engine users, then I could increase my traffic.

Since then, starting the month of October, I began creating useful posts, not to mention attractive post that plays well on search engines. As you can see on the graph, site visits are going up. Not a good number yet, but it is assured that readers do come to my blog and there is an improvement since the day I started my blog.

How to become a successful blogger?

How to become a successful blogger?

In the pursuit of becoming a real Blogger, like most blogs I envy. Questions prompted my mind, how do I become a successful blogger? How will my blog be known to the world? How will I gain traffic like most other blogs do? How will I monetize thru my blog?

In my constant search for answers, there is one real truth that I have uncovered. What really separates good blogs from the rest is its “Content”. It is already proven that useful content drives traffic. Choose a topic that might interest other people. Write about something other people don’t do. Create some interest in the things you write. Write in your own words and don’t imitate anybody, be natural. Provide as much information as you can. Put up illustrations or pictures that might entice readers.

I believe that content alone could give you page rankings, however, as I have noticed it is also important to build and maintain a good linking network. Do blog hopping and make friends thru chat boxes in each blog. Ask for link exchange, until such time that your pages will be crawled.

Successful bloggers use keywords that are relevant to the topic at hand, repeat them over in your post but not to the extent that your post may look funny because of repeated keywords. It is also advisable to stick in to one kind of topic, or you can create posts that are related with each other.

A successful blogger must also be patient and be satisfied of the little achievements that he would be making. Don’t rush things and always put in mind that you are blogging for the purpose of sharing information, make friends, be part of the community, make a difference thru the things you write and be heard, earning money online should come next. If you think that way, you will be surprised of the results.

Talisman Online

Talisman Online

Talisman Online is a free to play 3d MMORPG. This is my new online game discovery. Graphics is good even with minimum requirement. The game loads faster and the interface is very user friendly.

Characters are Monk, Wizard, Assassin, Fairy and Tamer. What makes this game unique is the abundant numbers of game quest in each level. There are also many ways to gain experience. Even when your offline you will get a little amount of Character Experience by doing Secret Soul Exercise. There is also competition that would make you gain even more experience level by level. There are also repetitive Reputation Quests that you can do all over again for fun or for a fee from other players. Aside from that, if you can recruit apprentices you can also gain more experience from the Master and Apprentice system.

The map design, flora, and fauna, are amazing. The monsters come in many different forms, altogether with different scenario bosses that you and your friends could tackle. Cheaters and boters are never welcomed, so game is insured fair play. Bot at your own risk! Talisman points can be bought with real cash but if you play good enough, you can purchase T-points thru auctions.

My Wizard Character on All Star Server is already 35 level as of this post and still continues playing. My character name is blurem23, hope I will be seeing you there! Thanks for reading!

SINULOG – The feast of the Blessed Senior Sto. Niño

SINULOG – The feast of the Blessed Senior Sto. Niño

The display of little colorful flag-lets that hang over the major streets of Cebu City, gives a distinction that the city is celebrating the Feast of the Patron Saint of Cebu, the Blessed Sto. Niño (Christ Child). Actually, in my own personal understanding, the Burnt Holy Child of Jesus could not be considered as saint because Jesus Christ is of Godly nature. But since, it has been accustomed that the patron saint of Cebu is Sto. Niño, that’s why I am using the title.

The celebration / feast happens during the third day of the first month of the year, which is January. This year, the Sinulog Festival happens today, January 18, 2009. Thousands of devotees, tourist (both local and international), international and local media, celebrities, politicians, and prominent personalities, come to witness this once in a year event and flock here in Cebu City.

The feast focuses on the burnt image of the Christ child Jesus, which was discovered by a Spanish soldier during the Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines on the remains of a burnt settlement decades ago. The Child image of Jesus Christ gained its reputation because of its miraculous nature.

The feast starts with a fluvial procession that reenacts the entrance and arrival of the Spaniards and Roman Catholicism in the country. Followed by the world famous presentation of street dance, offering, parade, and celebration, the Sinulog Mardi Gras. With colorful costumes, participants from all over the country compete for the Best Sinulog Based Participation category, which includes best in interpretation of the Sinulog concept, theme, and history.

The criteria includes:

• Theme, Concept / Ritual 10% - relevance to Sinulog, choice of material as to musicality, movement qualities and expressions, clarity of message and interpretation to dance movement.
• Performance ----------------------------- 25% - precision and coordination, fluency, alignment, balance, focus, projection, rhythmic and spatial interest
• Choreography --------------------------- 25% - creativity and artistry of steps and formation, style and expression.
• Costume ---------- --------------------- 20% - artistic choice of color and style, effective use of props relevant to the interpretation of the theme / concept / ritual.
• Props --------------------------------- 10% - Effective use of props relevant to the interpretation of the theme/ritual.
• Sinulog Musicality ---------------------- 10%
• TOTAL ------------------------------------- 100%

The Sinulog festival is also a time for both young and old, to enjoy and celebrate. Some household, prepare modest meals for the expected and the unexpected guest that would visit Cebu to celebrate the fiesta. Colorful souvenirs, accessories, and shirts, flood the side streets, to meet the demands of potential customers and buyers. Every restaurant offer their own kind of marketing strategy, such as hiring a playing song band, that would attract costumers to their establishment. Hotels are fully booked and occupied. With unlimited places and parties to go to, Cebu City has become a venue for fun, entertainment, and leisure.

For most Cebuanos and the rest of the Filipino people, the essence remains the same for today’s celebration and that is to celebrate, give thanks, and honor, our Protector, Provider, Healer, and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Thanks for reading, I hope you would post your comment and share you insights about this topic. I would be posting some amateur pictures after the parade, so in order to keep you updated, please do subscribe to my blog. Here.

Pit Senyor everyone and Happy Fiesta Cebu!!!

Mesothelioma – Cancer from Asbestos Exposure

Mesothelioma – Cancer from Asbestos Exposure

Source Wikipedia:
Mesothelioma - is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the heart,[1] the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart) or tunica vaginalis.

Read more here for Mesothelioma diagnosis and general info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelioma

I am writing this post, to raise awareness regarding the use of exhaust (mufflers) and gasketsi n motorcycles with asbestos on it. We don’t know the long-term effect for this type of product. Asbestos as we know can cause cancer, and therefore if present on air, may expose ourselves to lung cancer if inhaled.

Friendster Virus – LOL Message

Friendster Virus – LOL Message

Recently I just received a message from one of my friends on Friendster. The subject was LOL, when I opened the message it took me to a site similar to Youtube. At first, I thought it was YouTube but when I looked again it was spelled in a wrong way “YuotTube” with the U and O interchanged. The address also on the address bar was way too different. The site asked me to download a file “setup.exe” in order to watch the video that was displayed. Which of course is a virus, and if downloaded, would definitely put your computer at risk. And every time you open your Friendster, it would send spam messages to all your friends, without you knowing it.

If you ever come across this site, don’t download the said file, close your browser right away. Inform your friend about the message that you received, and inform him or her to change his password right away. Lets all inform our friends about this stuff that are abusing Friendster. Lets make Friendster a safe and fun place. Thanks for reading.

Manny Paciquiao Wins Over Oscar De La Hoya 8 rounds

Manny Paciquiao Wins Over Oscar De La Hoya 8 rounds



It has been proven, Manny Pacquiao is the no.1 Pound for Pound boxing king! After the 8th round, de la Hoya’s corner decided to stop the fight. Making Manny Pacquiao live up for his title as the Mexican Assassin. Since round 1, Pacquiao was already sending punches coming from nowhere. The punches were so fast and strong that de la Hoya wasn’t able to see it coming. Punches were so quick that you think they did not connect, but right after every fight, in slow motion, the punches hit hard. Beating de la Hoya’s face.

"We knew we had him after the first round," Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said. "He had no legs, he was hesitant and he was shot."

Manny Pacquiao’s punch combinations were extraordinary, left and right, hitting both. While Oscar wanted to create a combination, Manny was so quick to avoid it. Giving no way for Oscar to gain control of the game.

If Oscar De La Hoya did not stop at round 8, Oscar would surely hit the canvass at round 9, since starting from round 6, Oscar barely throw punches anymore.

"My heart still wants to fight, that's for sure," De La Hoya said. "But when your physical doesn't respond, what can you do? I have to be smart and make sure I think about my future plans." Does it mean it’s the end of Oscar de la Hoya’s career?

I want to extend my congratulations to our New Filipino hero for winning this fight, and satisfying millions of Filipinos of different ages. We are very proud of you Manny Pacquiao!

Now, who do you think would be Manny Pacquiao’s next match? Whoever it may be, rest assured the audience will definitely enjoy the game if it is Manny who is inside the ring.

Mabuhay ang Pinoy!!

Some say, he’s much slower than Pacquiao but his punching power will surely be a threat to our New Filipino Hero. As for Manny Pacquiao, winning this fight is a big turn in history of Philippine boxing and in sports. Although this isn’t a title bout, we all can be proud if he wins this game.

Our thumbs up and prayers are all with you Manny Pacquiao! Just give them and show them what you really got. After all those hard trainings, I could only say, when you come back, you are another million richer than before.

The Terraces - Ayala Center Cebu

The Terraces Ayala Center Cebu

Ayala Center Cebu, one of the biggest mall destination here in Cebu finally opened another exciting and new place to venture, The Terraces. As Cebu Holdings President Francis Monera said in a press conference, “We named it The Terraces because one will walk through a terrace-like ambiance that gives you the feel of being in a resort.”

Having my first step inside reminds of the first time I set foot at Greenbelt malls. The uniquely designed railings, curved nicely to make it look like your very own terrace and those strips of wood (I don’t know what its exactly called) that covers the stairways were much like that of Makati’s Greenbelt malls.




As far as I could remember on my college days, this place was a lagoon filled with green still waters. Now its filled with life and green plants. Not to mention the people that come and goes there, to dine, to take a stroll, relax, drink coffee, enjoy the view, and meet new people. As for me and my daughter, it’s a place to pass time away, took some pictures of the place, and make her go running around safely.

Here are some photos I took, not a good catch though, but its enough to make you wanna go there yourself. Enjoy everyone!

FROM THE SHOWCASE

Criselda Volks Scandal Controversial Video

I can’t believe it myself, another hot video search is burning over the internet wires. This time from a controversial teenage celebrity.

Criselda Volks once surfaced on the news on her suicide attempt, drinking detergent soap and liquid bleach. And now with this alleged video sex scandal with Malaysian boyfriend.

As what did Ogie Diaz wrote in his column (Phil Journal):

Kung ilalarawan ang napanood naming apat na video ay “nakakaawa” talaga si Criselda Volks.
Hindi maipagkakailang siya ’yung nasa video na nakahiga sa kama at “sinasamantala” ng isang Malaysian.
Gusto naming murahin nang bonggang-bongga ’yung lalaki, dahil “nagamit” na nga niya ’yung katawan nu’ng babae, talagang kinunan pa niya ng video.
Ginawa nitong “bading” si Criselda.

Honestly, hanggang ngayon, natutulala pa rin kami kapag naaalala namin ang video na ipinakita sa amin. Parang gusto pa rin naming maniwala na hindi si Criselda ’yon at hindi rin siya ’yung nakatuwad na babaing may maliit na tattoo sa kanang pisngi ng puwet.

According to an interview, Criselda did admit she was the one in the video. She did not expected it to come out.

Yellow Caterpillar Roll - Sushi

Yellow Caterpillar Roll

It was a quite day at the hotel, another time for creativity. Rolled a cucumber and crabmeat stick on a large piece nori, topped it with sweet ripe mangoes, then dressed up to look like a caterpillar. Cut a piece of olives for the eyes and black sesame seeds for the dotted look on the body. Creating this type of Maki Roll is fun and it adds another creation to the dynamic and ever changing style of making Sushi.
