[edit] Candidates for inclusion in the Portal page

[edit] Candidates for Selected article to be featured at the Portal page

I've changed it into Manila LRT. --Howard the Duck 09:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Oooh...I would love to see the MRT next! --Sky Harbor 03:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

If no one objects this'll be next. --Howard the Duck 04:23, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Why not make this on December, since another train-related SA would make it appear that this portal is stale? --Howard the Duck 15:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• I would like to nominate my article about Mariano Trias. Kevin Ray 04:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • If it improves into GA-level by January it can be selected here. (Note that it's on the Did you know section, right now.) --Howard the Duck 06:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Candidates for Selected picture to be featured at the Portal page

I've changed into the leaning bellfry at Bacarra, Ilocos Norte. --Howard the Duck 09:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Candidates for Selected biography to be featured at the Portal page

I've changed the selected biography to Andrew Gonzalez. But on second thought, I think Epifanio de los Santos would be appropriate. What do you think? --Mithril Cloud 16:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I think we should stick with Bro. Andrew. --Howard the Duck 14:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Do we have a free pic, though? --Howard the Duck 14:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

For Brother Andrew? Nope. --Mithril Cloud 01:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Does he have a statue somewhere? --Howard the Duck 02:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

None too. --Mithril Cloud 05:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other sections at the Portal page

Everybody is encouraged to be bold and update the sections without going through the nomination process.

[edit] Portal:Philippines/On this week/Anniversaries

Everybody is encourage to add the following:

1. Foundation dates of LGUs, corporations, schools, etc. (example: Quezon Day on August 19)
2. Birth dates and death anniversaries of notable people (presidents, sportspeople, actors, singers, mayors, businesspeople, etc.). (example: Jose Rizal birthday on June 19)
3. Historical events (example: Independence Day on June 12)

[edit] Languages problem

Well, I added in the Chavacano and Pangasinan Wikipedias to the Philippine-related Wikipedias section, but it seems that it got messed up for some unknown reason. Who can fix it? --Sky Harbor 22:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

It looks fixed for me. --Howard the Duck 02:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Have you heard of Cheche Lazaro ?

Cheche Lazaro is a Filipino broadcast journalist, but how notable is she? Have the members of the Phillipines Portal heard of her? Guroadrunner 15:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

For questions about Philippine-related articles, visit WT:PINOY, nobody goes here anyway, hehehe. --Howard the Duck 18:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
