Barangay Filipino in New England up and running



Boston, MA: Fil-Am Ramon Raagas of this city announced the launch of BarangayFilipino.com, a website for Filipinos in New England.

Barangay Filipino in New England aims to create an online community for Filipinos in the region, promote Filipino activities and inform visitors coming to the region of events and other useful information as well as to promote Filipino businesses.
Barangay Filipino in New England recognizes and celebrates the fact that Filipinos are a part of a larger community, though specifically, the New England states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont are highlighted. The Tagalog word "barangay" (also known as barrio) is the smallest local government unit in the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. Wiki describes Barangay as being derived from an ancient Malayo-Polynesian boat called a balangay. From www.barangayfilipino.com, "Barangay Filipino in New England encourages all Filipinos in the region, or individuals who are interested, to participate and be involved." An online feature "Chat" is available. "User Groups" and "Forums" are currently being developed. These features will enable interested groups to focus on and discuss a particular topic. The website continuously makes improvements to maintain the site as interactive as possible and to make visitors experience useful and informative.
