Whoa! These days, it’s almost impossible to find someone who does not hold any social network account. Social networks have become great tools for accessing the latest issues and to voice out opinions. A lot of people have discovered the advantages of social networking as it brings us closer to the people and getting the best hits in town.

Everyone, including those in advocacy fields, recognize the value in tapping this technology to further their reach. They maintain accounts in at least a few of the most famous sites: Facebook, Friendster, Multiply and Twitter. The real-time sharing of opinions on topics and the circulation of issues paves the way for many people who used to be lurkers and listeners to share their stands now without hesitation. People know that once an idea or an opinion is posted, it will surely be read and heard.

Like everyone else, Mulat Pinoy maintains social network accounts where you can post your opinions and comments anytime. Speak up! Your voice counts.
