Not only did Kabataan Partylist, of which he is president and top nominee, make history as the country’s first elected youth group to win a seat in Congress under the partylist system, but Palatino is also the first blogger to become a national legislator in the Philippines.

Imported September 2004-February 2007 archives

I’ve imported my old blog posts from my original personal blogs on Blogger and WordPress.com.

I started blogging in September 2004 on Blogger, before moving to WordPress.com in March 2006.

My last post for my old WordPress.com blog was in February 2007, when I moved to my own hosted WordPress blog. I don’t have access to those archives yet, but you can check out the stuff I churned out from Septermber 2004 to February 2007 here if you’re interested.

Whew, time sure flies when you’re having fun… blogging.

Cheers!
