THE RULES of the game have changed. We are not bound by paper and pen, by boundaries of land or sea, or by the limited number of printed copies anymore. We are truly making history as Philippines Today finally makes a debut into the cyberworld and claims a niche online. On June 17, 2001, www.philippinestoday.net was born. This is the ultimate realization of a vision -- that of reaching out to more Filipinos, not only to those who are based in Japan, but to the rest of the global community as well. Ten years ago this would not have been possible. Today, with Philippinestoday.net, our online experience begins.

In the span of merely two weeks since its initial posting, the site was able to generate a total of 8482 hits--way beyond our expectations. While the printed version already has a nationwide circulation in Japan, the online version radically transcends geographical limitations and enables Filipinos located in other parts of the world to experience the magic that PT has to offer. This statistical figure has clearly indicated that we are indeed reaching out to more people than we could ever imagine.

Philippinestoday.net offers the same excellent content found in the printed version, and with the addition of more thought-provoking articles, stimulating discussions and interactive forums -- all exclusive online! In this site we hope to establish a virtual community for Filipinos in Japan and the rest of the world--a place where we can interact and freely exchange ideas, share our insights and learn from one another. The key is interactivity. Thus the site features a "Talakayan" section--an online forum where various issues of relevance can be liberally discussed by both readers and writers alike. Comments and letters to the editor and columnists can be instantaneously posted for public viewing. Online polls to determine public opinion regarding certain issues may also be added. Press releases and announcements of important events can be immediately disseminated to the online public. It is our eventual hope that Philippinestoday.net will become a rich source of information online, and also emerge as a fast, virtual channel to voice the sentiments of the Filipino community in Japan.

It is our pleasure to invite all avid readers of Philippines Today to visit our site at www.philippinestoday.net. Make our site your home!*
