Some people just have no respect for intellectual property. Yeah, you can copy anything from other people’s blogs but ask for their permission first or at least have the decency to acknowledge them as your source. I did a search at Technorati on the word Ilonggo and guess what I discovered? There are bloggers who posted a blog entry which is a copy of my Ilonggo guid blog entry. Well some did acknowledge that it was from an email sent to them so it wasn’t really their fault. But those who posted it as if it was their own, shame on you. I’m flattered that some people think it’s good enough to be forwarded but I don’t see why you have to forward it or post it without acknowledging that it wasn’t your idea after all.

Geez, I don’t need to be glorified for that simple blog but at least give me credit for having thought of it first. I don’t think that is too much to ask.

Ilonggo ko ya no!

I was having breakfast with my officemate yesterday and we started to talk about past relationships. It seems she was not yet over her ex-boyfriend although she admitted that it was probably her pride who still hurts rather than her heart. Her ex has apparently "upgraded" to an Optometrist who's...

In behalf of The Mobster Network, I want to say sorry for this. I’ve asked the author of the post from our blog and he said that he copied it from an email. If there was an author on that e-mail then we probably have posted it, but it was just a forwarded e-mail. Once again, we’re sorry.
