Thanks Alex! By the way, will PCIJ be able to come with a list of party list nominees given COMELEC won’t release one?

Baycas, sorry for the delay in posting on Sheila Coronel’s Requiem essay on PBS’s Frontline/World. Have out-of-town trips since Saturday. Will try today if the wifi connection at the hotel I’m staying in here in Naga will be cooperative.

Congrats PCIJ!!!
Now I have a suggestion: I think its time for you to also launch your “PCIJ Bloggers Awards” just for fun and to recognize all the efforts by PCIJ bloggers in maintaining a healthy exchange of unsolicited advise/comments or ideas in blogsphere.
I noticed that we lost a lot of regular blog posters (intelligent & outrageous) in recent time probably because they lost “interest” for non-recognition of their efforts and in fact, I’m already missing many them so to speak.
For instance “Joselu” should have been awarded the “RETSBEW” (Webster reads backward) Award for most spelling errors, etc. just to make blogging lively and interesting. The recognition award (no medals, no money no anything but just plain recognition by PCIJ) could be monthly or yearly. What do you think?

This may be late, but what the heck. Congratulations, guys!
I’d like to second Ambuot’s suggestion. You can give joselu his award, then we’ll give him a standing ovulation!

Thanks, Scud, Tongue in, anew. As I’ve said, the recognition also goes to loyal blog followers like you. We owe you this honor. And rest assured we’ll seriously consider Ambuot’s suggestion.
