I would like to inform your organization of an irresponsible journalistic action done by a writer of Pilipino Star Ngayon, Edwin Balasa. He wrote an article entitled "Away sa Trapik: Mag-amo dedo sa abogado" dated October 3, 2007 without verifying the information he wrote. The spelling of some of the names was wrong and some of the details mentioned such as Katherine Palmero's profession and that the suspect went to the police station were both incorrect. This sort of thing is what gives journalists in our country a bad reputation. When I wrote to their editor about this, I did not receive a reply nor did the article get an erratum. May I request your organization to aid us in addressing this concern. Our group plans to take action if this small matter is not rectified immediately. Thank you and hoping for a kind response to my request. Good day!

Cyberpress is in its 10th year! I can't believe time travels that fast. Still remember fresh in my mind when Bronx, Edison, yours truly and several others met at Coffee California to draft the very first by laws of Cyberpress 8 years ago. I am very proud to serve the organization at its infant stage, specially during the "hard times", struggling for "identity". Now Cyberpress has its own website and conducted several successful forums and events, it is really heart warming to learn all about this. I am now working as editor of a Chinese language daily here in Toronto, Canada. Wishing Cyberpress good luck and more success. More power!
