Top 20 Best Posts at Filipina Soul
It’s my 2nd year as a blogger for b5media, and for Filipina Soul.
YEY, happy birthday to me! (although I really did miss it, since my first post was May 2, 2006). I am so pleased to have made it this far. When I look back at the two years, I can’t but pick out several posts that I really loved.
So here they are – my TOP TWENTY favorite posts:
- What it means to be a blogger Mom
- A tribute to the true Filipino
- “A borderless world”
- What is a modern Filipino mom?
- The 1000-strong Dancing Inmates of a Cebu prison
- The unique history of the Barong Tagalog: a symbol of colonial resistance
- An Honest Look at Poverty and Paradise in the Philippines
- This land of abundance
- What is the best medium of instruction – English or Filipino?
- “Paraiso”: the Gawad Kalinga movie trailer
- On the Desperate Housewives Issue
- A Filipino-American Thanksgiving Dinner
- 100 things that make us Filipino
- The proper way of eating balut (fertilized duck egg)
- Social relevance and the Filipino music
- Culture shock – defined and experienced
- The Philippines’ best universities
- Recovering our “Filipino-ness”
- Migration economy and the OFW
- Growing up bilingual
How about you? Which of our posts became a favorite of yours?
I’m also excited over where Filipina Soul is going in the future. But, what is missing from Filipina Soul? What would you like to see more of? And what can we do to improve this blog (be it design or content). We’d love to hear from you!

what it means to be a blogger mom
My favorite is ”A Borderless World” It resonates with such truth and is not just applicable to the Filipina Soul but each and every person on the planet. I wish this article could be printed in its entirety on a larger scale for the people of this country to read or at the very least hear the words you’ve written. At this time when our country is almost certainly being torn from within by racial and religious bigotry all in the name of politics…this would be like a drop on water on a still pond. For those who would heed its lesson and stop to reflect, it would be like ripples in a pool…subtle but ever changing. And we could really use a change.
This land of abundance sounds interesting!!

I can relate to A Filipina-American Thanksgiving Dinner. My mother is asian and her versions of recipes for Thanksgiving are so weird. Can you say Spam sushi?
my favorite blog is “A Borderless World”.
“a borderless world”: I enjoyed this thoughtful meditation on the Filipino diaspora and it’s role in the global community.
An Honest Look at Poverty and Paradise in the Philippines, was a good one.
My favorite is a borderless world because it is so true and relevant. Congratulations on the anniversary!
