If part of your mission in life is to help promote the Philippine Community worldwide and help improve other people’s lives, then you’ve come to the right place. You can work with us as a contractor or as site partner.

At Emanila, we have a number of websites and internet properties that you can work on. Our websites are designed to help us achieve that mission.

And yes, we are open in acknowledging that to help sustain our mission, we need to make our operations financially viable. We therefore have to continuously look into new approaches and techniques on how emanila and its network websites can provide value-added services to our sponsors, advertisers, members and users.

THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION of New South Wales recently launched the 2008 National Multicultural Marketing Awards at the Westin Hotel Sydney calling for nominations in seven categories.

The seven categories for the 2008 awards are CMC Markets Commercial Big Business Award, Commercial Small Business Award, Integral Energy Community Award, Export Award, Government Award, Integral Energy Community Award, and Advertising Award.

Nominations close on 29 August 2008 and the awards winnners will be presented on 25 November 2008.

The Awards began in 1990 and since then has awarded more than 100 businesses and organisations who are regarded as leaders in the industry and role models in seizing business opportunities through marketing in a society of 420 languages and 265 cultural backgrounds.

In 2000, emanila.com became the first organisation to receive the Technology Award. During the recent launch, a special video highlighting the achievements of previous awardees was played.

Together with the Awards 1990 Inaugural Winner, the Sydney Opera House, emanila.com was highlighted as being the inaugural recipient of the Technology Award and the largest Philippine-related portal website in Australia.

We have recently installed a Custom Search Engine (CSE) at our portal site to search files and pages on emanila network sites.

The CSE is powered by Google and uses algorithms that output pages in terms of relevancy to the search criteria.  The new search engine replaces our old search engine which was installed separately in emanila websites.

Test drive the new emanila global search engine here.

Hi everyone

We wanted to post a quick announcement here concerning our downtime during the last two weeks, particularly last May 23, June 5 and June 6.

It appears that we are not immune to server-related problems as we had some hardware issues on one of our servers. This pretty much caused outages and downtime to all emanila.com-managed websites, but our friendly tech people are rapidly getting everything back in order.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Additionally, we are two days behind on support requests and sales inquiries. We hope you give us a little time to catch up.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Team Emanila
