A New Year's Message From InterPinoy

   The Staff of InterPinoy would like to take the opportunity to send our Season’s Greetings to our readers, clients and to everybody who happens to log on our Montreal-based website which in the last four years since it was launched into cyberspace has brought the news and commentaries relating to Filipinos in general. This is also the time of the year when we all look back and review what the past years has been for us at InterPinoy and it is obvious that it is living up to its modest objectives: to bind together Filipino-Canadians and keep them informed on issues and concerns that affect their lives. And thanks to this happy relationship InterPinoy is making progress by having readers from all over the world including prominent leaders in the Philippines who find it important to have links with Filipino websites based in Canada.

   As well, we are proud that our website routinely attracts readers not only in Canada and the Philippines but in many countries as well with more and more people continually visiting our website to keep abreast of what’s going on in the Filipino communities across Canada. We are proud too of our contributors and office staff who stayed with us a long way back like the gifted writer and playwright Edmundo Farolan of Vancouver B. C. who brings vividly before us different and fascinating topics usually on art and literature; Carla Day-Reiner of Toronto who designed our web page graphics, and Antonio V. Fernandez-- our webmaster who has done a wonderful job in maintaining our site.  We are equally proud of contributors like Senator Aquilino Pimentel, who has faced up to complex, but crucial decisions, where justice and basic human rights are at stake, and of writers like Elisabeth Medina, who has written about national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, and who can’t resist to explore further and further our Filipino identity, and Guillermo Gomez Rivera who is based in Manila and is at the forefront of promoting the Spanish language in the Philippines, as well as other newer contributors who together make up a marvellous team and deserve our thanks and appreciation. To all these wonderful people, which naturally include our readers, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 2001.
