Already, for
more than a year, Pinoy Balita has visited the homes and workplaces of
thousands of OFWs in Korea.
Our staff have
patiently written
and gathered news, current events and other happenings not only
from the Philippines and Korea but from all over the world and sent them to
Pinoy Balita readers to satisfy
their thirst for news and information.
This fortnightly
effort although tedious and sometimes disheartening has brought endless
happiness to us at the thought that we are delivering a worthwhile and noble
service to YOU—OFWs in Korea.
However, like
those of any other publication, Pinoy Balita management and staff would
like to determine if our readers appreciate our efforts and if they look forward
to reading Pinoy Balita’s next issue. If not, what is the reason for its existence?
Thus getting
feedback from YOU is of prime importance to us to prove to Pinoy Balita
sponsors, benefactors and advertisers that we deserve to be supported by them.
As a newspaper
freely given to you, we do not have sales reports to serve as basis of your
interest. Empty shelves from which you pick up copies of Pinoy Balita is not
sufficient to determine your interest. This is so because other people might be using
Pinoy Balita for other purposes rather than what it was issued for.
Therefore, to
justify to our advertisers, sponsors and donors Pinoy Balita’s reason for
its further existence, we are asking for your help by showing your desire for Pinoy Balita’s continued publication.
You can show
your support by honestly writing to us your feelings regarding Pinoy Balita’s
efforts, suggestions to improve its contents, literary contributions and much better
yet by bringing advertisers to us.
We are asking
your support because publishing costs have been rising and our financial viability
is under question. Your show of strong support will, to a great extent,
assuage the rising clamor for us to justify Pinoy Balita’s existence or else...
