Filipina on the Web - where are they now?

I got the chance to look into this old article, Women on the Web. Hmm after the dotcom crash, I wonder where are they now? Let us see.

1. Therese Ng is still with FemaleNetwork.com
2. Rita Barreiro left my MyPhilippines and headed GCPhilippines. But due to the dotcom crash, the company retrenched. She will go (or went) to Canada to pursue her masteral studies.
3. Ria Ferro is still with ABS-CBN Interactive. (how are they doing there?)
4. Drew Europeo - I think she's still affiliated with them. Their BalikBayanMail.com closed na. Adobo Interactive changed its name to IP Ventures.
5. Janette Toral - that is me. Well still alive and taking care of DigitalFilipino.com. No longer head of PICS so I can do a lot of stuff now without the usual politics.
6. Mary Anne Tolentino - still going strong with BPI Internet Banking group. She is currently the president of the Philippine Internet Commerce Society.
7. Abigail Yap - still with Yapster
8. Patricia Nuguid - no idea if she's still with UnionBank.
9. Perla Daly of Bagong Pinay - no idea.
10. Trixie Reguyal of LegManila.com - the site closed down already right? Don't know what happened to them na.
11. Franchette Soriano of PhilMusic.com - she's still there.
    

Look forward in hearing your comments.

Hello! We're looking for ladies who can help us in updating this blog on a regular basis. Ideal topics would be issues and concerns concerning women in IT. If you're interested, please email me at janette@digitalfilipino.com. You are also encouraged to join our discussion group.

I got the chance to read Meg Hourihan blog. In her profile, she mentioned that she's alarmed about the number of women able to join and speak in major public conferences in IT. I agree to it but the reality dawns upon me that IT is really a guys world. Although women are breaking in this area, more and more of them are focused on doing back-up work rather than lead work. Well, I hope to see more female speakers in major IT conferences.

Some updates. Mary Anne Tolentino, president of the Philippine Internet Commerce Society will be celebrating her birthday next week. Happy birthday Maan!

On the other hand, Norelyn Babiera of Fiera De Manila will be having her Graphic Expo and Philippine Animation Festival on June 5 to 7. I urge you all to come, visit the exhibit, and support the event.

Let me know what you think of this blog posting. Should you be interested in becoming a co-editor of this blog, drop me a line as well. Thanks!
