Announcing….
We have a new writer starting today on LiP. I am kind of excited to be announcing this one too.
It all started a week or two ago when I got an e-mail from John Miele. John asked me if I thought it would be OK for his wife, Rebecca to start writing some articles here on LiP! Wow… it was a surprise to me, because I didn’t see that coming.
Surprise or not, it was something that I was quite happy about. I enjoy John’s articles, and adding Rebecca’s perspective can only make for some interesting reading, in my opinion.
So, I am happy to announce that Rebecca’s first article is appearing on LiP today!
John and Rebecca are now the second LiP “blogging couple” after Feyma and I teamed up on this site about 2 1/2 years ago! I look forward to reading what Rebecca has to say.
So, please join me in welcoming Rebecca Miele to LiP!

Congratulations to John and Rebecca Miele for becoming the second husband and wife team to write for LiP. I look forward to reading articles in an expat forum that is written from the perspective of a Filipina. I’m pretty sure they would be a no holds-barred assessment of Philippine life and culture without having to worry about a possible backlash from the host country.
At last another woman’s point of view!!!!!!
Welcome Rebecca!!!!
You will be a wonderful addition.
Bob: I’m the first to admit that she’s far smarter than me… Hope I don’t get too roasted in her next article!
Hi Tyleen – Female writers are always welcome, but I just have not been able to find that many.
