Rebirth Of Manggagaway
By Ishilta
It has been a rollercoaster ride for the management and staff of Manggagaway since its website premiere on yule of 2003. Starting off with free webhosting at Yahoo! Geocities, it was then transferred to a US-based web hosting company last February 2005. There it earned its own domain name: www.manggagaway.com.
In partnership with the Philippine Wiccan Society, Manggagaway covered the Fullybooked’s oracle fest entitled “Bewitch, Beguile, Enchant” in May 2004 at the PowerPlant Mall. It had also successfully thrown a benefit concert-party at Tajma Restaurant in Katipunan on Ostara of 2005. This concert was used to finance the website’s second term. Manggagaway Contributors’ Center in Yahoo! Groups was also launched, including its very own Friendster account, which is still very much active to this day. A raffle promo was also held as a means of gaining extra resources. Winners will be announced on the relaunch of the main site.
“Expansion plans of the website have failed to be implemented primarily due to very limited resources, both human and financial wise. You know it’s hard to maintain a cause like this without support and back-ups,” said Ishilta, founder and managing editor. There has been a decline in the number of writer and staff volunteers for the past year, which resulted in the website’s sudden inactivity. Add to this the unfinished website design and lay-out, which hampered the entire publication process.
Now with its new innovation, Manggagaway brings you Manggagaway Central: Your Ultimate Guide to the Filipino-Pagan Community. In it’s blog form, Manggagaway Central promises to bring you the latest updates on the Filipino-pagan community such as workshops, seminars, gatherings and press releases. Also, Manggagaway Central is expected to showcase a number of original pinoy write-ups every month, both new and selected archives -- all of this while waiting for the relaunch of the main site.
Special thanks to Mr. Damonsteine for the new logo and to Selfshift for helping me edit the news articles.
