We deprive people of the knowledge regarding sex and sexual behaviors and yet we expect them to do the right thing. At this very moment thousands, no, millions are suffering as a result of this deprivation.
This carnal drive we call sex and all the related behaviors and aspects streaming out of it is an inherent [...]]]></description>

&#8220;New mobile rules mean premium safeguards for SMS&#8221; &#8211; ACMA headline.
Nothing wrong with using premium mobile as long as the user knows that the usage rates are also at a &#8216;premium.&#8217; And by &#8216;premium&#8217; is meant rates higher than the standard rate. Based on our observations, SMS to premium mobile numbers to download ring tones, [...]]]></description>

I am not surprised that among emanilapoetry contributors, there are those who like to experiment with grammar in their posts. After all, there is the impression that, of various genres of creative writing, poetry gives the writer a license to write in a language, form or structure that he or she pleases. 
Unfortunately, creative writing [...]]]></description>

Going over our &#8220;wayback machine&#8221; at emanila, I thought I revisit an article I wrote in 2003 (yes, days when blogging was not as much in vogue) which is equally relevant these days. The article, &#8220;Towards a cleaner and more transparent government&#8220;, commented on the downgrading of the Philippines rating in the Transparency International&#8217;s corruption [...]]]></description>

Six months ago, I asked: At Twitter, do you need to be a follower to be followed?&#8221;
I asked that question because of the increasing belief (obviously perpetrated by marketers and developers of Twitter-related products) that a Twitter-er needs to follow to be followed.
With a very small Twitter account, @pinoyjokesnet, we started an experiment. What we [...]]]></description>

We tip our hat to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for its relentless fight against spamming.
The ACMA is responsible for the regulation of the broadcasting, radiocommunications, internet, and telecommunications industry in Australia. With approximately 540 staff spread over its principal offices in Canberra, Melbourne, and Sydney, the organisation is not small.
