Now you can read me in the SunStar!



Just a quick announcement, everybody.  Effective today, I have a weekly column in the SunStar Davao Newspaper.  SunStar, I believe, is Davao’s largest circulation newspaper, and I am happy to be featured there.

My column is called “Mindanao Bob’s Journal” and will appear every Friday in the SunStar Davao edition.  For this week’s column, it is basically just an introduction of who I am and how I got here.  We’ll get down to more serious issues next week.

Unfortunately, this first column is not included in the Online edition of  SunStar, but perhaps future columns will be.

    Congrats Bob, that really sounds great. I have been reading the Sun-Star website for several years, usually the CDO edition but now I will start checking out the Davao section as well. I hope they will eventually put your articles online. I wonder if you could also publish them on this website as well ? It would not surprise me that in some cases you could know more about Davao than many of the people that live there !

    Congratulations Bob!

    Your hard work is being recognized by a wider audience. I am sure that you will provide a fine example of a kano with a true love for Mindanao. This should make Filipinos proud of their homeland and also will help to make them understand that many foreigners choose to live in their place for honorable reasons.
