With Labor Day or Araw ng Manggagawa approaching us, our first Blog Carnival topic will be focused on jobs, The Filipino Worker, The Philippine Job Market, and the state of the job market itself. If you aren’t familiar, a blog carnival is,

a type of blog event. It is similar to a magazine, in that it is dedicated to a particular topic, and is published on a regular schedule, often weekly or monthly. Each edition of a blog carnival is in the form of a blog article that contains permalinks links to other blog articles on the particular topic.

Filipino Voices will hold a blog carnival every second and fourth Sunday of the month. Each topic will be announced that week and all submissions must be made no later than 12 noon of that Sunday.

If you wish to participate in the blog carnival, please leave a brief comment on this post regarding your article and the url of that article.

Our current topic is a timely one, indeed the state of our job market plays an important role in the progress of our nation. If we can’t provide a qualified workforce and well paying jobs for that workforce, our nation cannot and will not progress.

Vox Populi! And may your voice come with analysis, propaganda allowed, but solutions and analysis are most welcomed too.

Update: April 29, 2008 – seeing that the submissions haven’t been all that swell, we’ll be continuing this blog carnival up until the next topic. Considering it was our first Blog Carnival, we’re still happy that even a few chose to participate. Thank you.
