Facebook has come of age and it revolutionized the way we communicate. It used to be a one-way traffic as only those with websites often post news in the world wide web. But this time information has been bounced to one another in a more interactive manner. Virtually anyone with access to the internet can participate in the exchange of information in cyberspace. Facebook so far has been the most effective in linking people and facilitating communication.

The Gigaquit Civic Club used to have a website . . . the "gigaquitonline.com". But you may wonder where it is now. It cannot be found anymore in the internet. We at GCC realized that it is very tedious to maintain. Though the graphics design and the presentation was much better, it proved to be a difficult operation to run. A fulltime staff is needed to update it periodically. Unfortunately, the GCC does not have the funds to pay for the salary of a website designer.

But the Gigaquit Civic Club found an alternative. And that is to utilize existing websites that offer free templates and services. Among them are blogsites. They are very easy to maintain as they have standard free templates that one can use. For the contents we published in the former gigaquitonline.com, we migrated the data to http://gigaquitonlinearchive.blogspot.com, and after closing this site, migrated the contents to http://gigaquitcivicclub.multiply.com/.

We also created http://gigaquitonline.i.ph which now serves as a sort of a portal for all websites made regarding Gigaquit. It is supposed to serve as a news blogsite but maintaining a "news correspondents group" has been made obsolete by Facebook. Anyone now can be a news reporter.

Mabuhi an mga Gigaquitnons!

Mr. Jun Galolo, the scholar #2 is already enrolled but on provision only as he was not able to meet all the requirements to maintain his scholarship.  He has no failing grades though this first semester of his first year of schooling, and he showed tenacity to finish college.  Hence, he is given another chance to prove his capability this second semester.

The donor shouldering all of his tuition fee is Mrs. Angela Larong Macasero.
His guardians are Mr. Lino Uzon and his wife, Councilor Fe Uzon.
