Everyone is a champion of the sacred right to free speech - but how many of these well-meaning souls will still do it when faced with a harrowing, expensive lawsuit? Not to mention the fact that they will get a grand total of nothing for the effort?

Very few, I imagine. dotPH is currently currently fighting for the right to free speech - it is still fighting for somebody else's right to free speech against a company that will sue a pair of shoes if it knew that it could get something out of the case.

Forgot it? Let me jog your memory. An anonymous person set up a blog called Alimuom using dotPH's blogging platform, i.PH blogs. The blogger aired his grievances against a company, Versomina, claiming that it abused its employees and sued them if they tried to leave. Joel Aquino (lawsuit-happy owner of Versomina, also charged with a criminal case by the NBI) got wind of this and asked dotPH to take down the blog. Valuing the inherent right to free speech, Joel Disini (dotPH CEO) refused.

Hey guys! We at i.PH are highfiving each other right now because we just checked the list of finalists for the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards, and we saw that two i.PH bloggers made it!

Bim of Comicology and Madz of Ukay-Ukay Escapades are just two of the great bloggers using i.PH.

Bim, if you can remember, is last year's winner for the same category: Best Hobby and Recreation Blog. Bim aims to "bring you our unwanted and totally unnecessary opinions about all things comic-related around the Philippines and other places not as crowded, polluted or fun."

We won't be surprised if he wins again this year.

Madz, on the other hand, has been nominated for Best Fashion Blog. She says that Ukay-ukay Escapades is about finding great clothes without putting a hole in your wallet. Scouring through random ukay shops around the Metro, Madz shares her ukay finds that are fashionable yet cheap. Her style ranges from street to semi-formal to cosplay. She also shares her tips and tricks on ukay shopping, locations of ukay shops, and her thoughts on clothes and fashion.

So we at i.PH are really happy to see some of our bloggers getting in the Philippine Blog Awards finals. We wish them luck! If you want to show your support, just visit their blogs and leave a message for them!

Well hello there i.PH-ers!

 The i.PH (and dotPH) team is planning something big. Really big. And you see, we're letting you i.PH users know about it first.

I can't give away too much right now, but I can tell you that it will involve an epic battle of creativity. But if you keep your eyes on the prize, it will be worth it.

Are you guys going to sit this one out and just watch from the sidelines, or are you going to join in, creativity guns a-blazin' ?

Also, have I mentioned that you can win gadgets if you join?

What do you guys think? Are you joining?
