Manila Vanilla

What it's like to be a U.S. Fulbright scholar, basketball player, journalist, and the whitest man in Metro Manila.

Newsbreak Postscript

I want to thank Glenda Gloria, managing editor at Newsbreak, for weighing in on the publication's future, online and hopefully in print. You can read her comment, from an earlier post, here.

I should also add that while I put more than 1500 words into doomsday predictions for Newsbreak's new direction, I have admired the publication since I arrived in the Philippines a year ago and started reading it, and I felt honored to have contributed a couple stories to it in late 2006. In this case, I hope Newsbreak survives and my fire and brimstone prophecies are proved wrong.
