A few of the many challenges that a woman faces today in this country (USA) on top of all the economic and environment crisis are finding the right ’shop’ or store to shop for home and building supplies, what kind of products to buy and what are the standards to set in purchasing those products. Here are a few suggestions from me.

Purchasing home and building supplies could be strenuous for some women and demanding for others specially when unable to prioritize and identify exactly what needs to be bought, from where and why. The world today is facing a danger no man thought would be ever happen- Global warming. How do we help lessen this danger through our purchases and the choices we make in purchasing home and building supplies?

Filipina bloggers and visitors, we need your help. Look at the latest search engine ranking in Google Philippines:

The bad news is FilipinaImages.com is now number 6 but the good news is we are still in page 1. The first five links are all dating sites. Let’s not allow FilipinaImages.com rank way below page 1.

Update- from USA google search engine results show us at Number 3.

We at Filipinaimages.com enjoin you to sustain our Filipina Online Campaign by writing about the Filipina in your blogs and continue to link the “Filipina” in your entries.

Aside from blog entries, we also need immediate help from you and your blogger friends.

How?

In your sidebar or footer, place this link. [Don't just write the word, "Filipina." Instead, insert the link. The highlighted, linkable keyword, "Filipina," will be the published result.]

<a href="http://filipina.eu.com/">Filipina</a>

If you have a large community of readers in your site, start a similar sitewide links campaign and use this Filipina link:

<a href="http://filipinaimages.com">Filipina</a>

or simply add Filipinaimages.com with anchor text “Filipina” to your blogroll.

I’ve been waiting for the appropriate time to share these creative works with Filipinas worldwide. Preparing for FilipinaImages.com’s first anniversary on August 5, 2008 felt right. Our contributors — brave and inspiring human beings that they are — have indeed showcased a kaleidoscopic diversity of Filipina Images through its simple SEO campaign. Once in a great while, award-winning creatives such as Roger Pe unleash provocative, compelling messages through their advertising creations. Roger, who I had met when he was the Executive Creative Director of DDB Philippines, working with the organizers of the Third Global Filipino Networking Convention (he developed the Public Service Announcements for print and TV which resulted in a phenomenal increase of local convention attendees’ registrations), is the 2007 winner of the London International Advertising Award Silver Trophy.

Roger wrote me and explained, “Thousands of Filipinas are sold overseas through/by Mail-Order-Bride syndicates. We helped curb this activity through an awareness campaign – for victims to speak up so that activities of people operating to traffic Filipinas can be checked and minimized.”

Let’s take a look at Roger Pe’s award-winning ad:

And let’s see what the “call to action” is:

A picture indeed says a million words.

I’m enclosing snippets from the article about the “Duct Tape” ad wherein I highlighted certain portions.

CANNES, FRANCE—DM9 JaymeSyfu, a Manila ad agency affiliated with the DDB network of communications companies, was awarded on Tuesday the Bronze Media Lion at the Cannes International Advertising Festival.

The first Cannes Media Lion won by a Philippine ad agency at the weeklong festival was for DM9 JaymeSyfu’s “Duct Tape” campaign for Gabriela Philippines, a women’s group opposing women abuse.

To dramatize the maltreatment of women, the campaign used duct tape to hold up posters of women which made it appear that the women in the posters were either gagged or blindfolded. The ad calls on abused women to speak up.
