MAKATI City, Philippines — Senator Manuel Roxas III is taking his online presence further.
Aside from his official website, an e-forum and accounts in social networking sites, Roxas has finally opened his own to further promote his advocacies.
Roxas’ other websites include one that is about his official function as senator. He also has entries in Facebook.com, Friendster.com and MySpace.com.
Roxas who uses the handle “misterpalengke” launched his official blog last August 1, after meeting up with bloggers in Quezon City. It appears, however, that he made his first posting on July 27.
So far, there are three blog entries, though the last two entries were written by “Kael”, a staff member of Roxas, and “Susan”, a former staff member.
Meanwhile, Roxas’s Virtual Rally site is still undergoing final revisions but the main page is already readable. One of his staff members said in an interview that they will soon finish working on the site.
The virtual rally, created in Adobe Flash, is aimed at gathering a virtual crowd to peacefully protest different issues. People can use avatars to represent themselves in the rallies.
So far, there are 111 members of the virtual rally and the main topic for now is the fuel price hike.
