Interesting: was checking through my stats and ran into a search for these keywords in Google: “Contribution of J. Angelo Racoma in the Philippines” (without the quotes).


Makes me wonder if I’d indeed been contributing positively to the

country with all these undertakings I’m getting into.  Perhaps I am: to the

online Filipino community at the very least.


I’m getting to be controversial.  Blame it on Google for placing my site on the top results of queries for “Filipino Economist.”

;) ;)   I even got an e-mail last week from a student inquiring on

what I do as an economist.  I responded I’m not as good as Google

would want people to believe–it’s the J Spot’s (or any good blog, for

that matter) being search-engine friendly that’s doing the positive

publicity.  I’m probably not half as good as most of my UP Econ

and graduate Dev Econ classmates.  But hey, you can ask me anything about

real-world economics.  As provider for a family of four, I can

most likely give you an honest-to-goodness answer on what I think about

the Philippine economy today.


Ah, the power of weblogs.
