As part of the continuing program of emanila.com pty ltd, emanila*pilipino, which for many years have been a source of information about Philippine history and culture to school students, have moved its materials to Dateline Philippines at www.emanila.com/philippines.

The move is to capitalise on the ease of Dateline Philippines in updating its information using the latest technology in news posting.

Articles on the controversial “The Filipino State (Another way of looking at Philippine History)” and “Ang Pinanggalingan ng Tatarin” have been moved to the new section.

Please contact us if there were materials in emanila*pilipino which you cannot locate in the new section.
