1ST-APLUMA, an organization of provincial media practitioners, has launched its own where its members and other interested persons can communicate and get to know more about its advocacies, programs and projects.

“Just by typing http://1st-apluma.yolasite.com , anyone can access our website that gives the freshest news about our group which represents provincial journalists, photographers, poets and others who make a living out of writing,” said Ismael Amigo, national president of 1st-APLUMA.

“This is just a temporary website because we are planning to purchase our own so-called web domain or web address. At present, we have utilized the free service of www.yola.com, where anyone can create their own website easily,” he added.

The website features daily headlines of different newspapers and updates from different government agencies such as the Metro Manila Development Authority, Bureau of Customs and Malacanang.

Also, Amigo said anyone can interact with us through our forum and blogs where they can post their opinions and other views on matters like current events and anything under the sun that affects our daily living.

“And the most important thing is that those interested can send in their membership form through the Internet. Just go to the section join 1st-APLUMA, fill up the form and click send. In seconds, your application form will reach us and you’re automatically a member of our group,” Amigo emphasized.

Amigo also announced that 1st-APLUMA welcomes those writers who want their work published on the Internet. “Just send it to our email unangapluma@yahoo.com and we will publish it online through http://1st-apluma.yolasite.com,” he said.

Amigo also encouraged interested persons from different parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao to send in their application form through our new website.
