Congratulations to Filipino problogger Jayvee Fernandez on taking over as Technology Channel Editor for global blog network b5media. Jayvee is best known as site editor for Cellphone9 and contributing editor for Hinge Inquirer Publications. He also took the gorgeous photo of me in the top left.

First Abe Olandres takes over The Blog Herald, then Kevin Codamon takes over PC Gamers, and now this. I figured Filipinos would quickly adopt blogging, but I never dreamed they’d take over the blogosphere.

Angel Locsin Photos on Flickr
