Phoebe Parrone from the University of Pittsburgh and Ken Ilio , a post-doctorate researcher at Northwestern University, have between them created over 30 different pages under the headings, Best of SCF and The Philippine Trivia Pages . Jesus Dizon in Oregon has created an on-line Tagalog Tutorial page. Hector Santos in California has just created The Philippine Leaf to share his interest and research into the system of writing which was widely used in the Philippines hundreds of years before the Spaniards arrived. On his pages he reveals the secrets of a copper scroll dating from 900 A.D. which was found in Laguna de Bay in 1989. It contains information on the Philippine stock market and you can obtain the latest closing price by simply entering a stock symbol.

Last year wonderful little three and four paragraph stories about daily life in the Philippines started to appear in the soc.culture.filipino news group. These stories were exquisite in form, texture and content. These stories were worth saving so I contacted Arthur Villordon by e-mail to ask permission to convert his stories into WWW pages. I immediately posted a request on the SCF news group appealing for help from anyone who had been saving Arthur's stories. Six people responded and within a few days I had all of the stories he had written converted to WWW pages and posted on the Internet.
