Do check out Funchain, a social-networking-cum-blogging solution created by a Filipino, Jason Banico, formerly of EDSA.com.ph and Yehey.
Erwin Oliva interviews Banico in an article on inq7.net:
To be launched in Indonesia and Malaysia, Funchain (http://www.funchain.com) was partly inspired by Friendster and blogging, according to Banico in an e-mail interview.
“This idea came from looking at how Friendster (a free online social networking service) took off in the Philippines three years ago. A year earlier, I started blogging. There seemed to be a similar pattern in grassroots community building in those two, so I decided to put them together. This was before Yahoo! 360 or MSN Spaces. Friendster didn’t have a blog then,” Banico said.
Another Filipino offering worth watching!
