Health Care Benefits for U.S. Bloggers Becomes Reality; How About the Philippines?
In the US, Blogger & Podcaster Magazine is a launching a pay-to-join blog advertising network that offers health care to its members. From The Blog Herald:
TechCrunch is reporting that Blogger & Podcaster Magazine (BPM) is launching their own blog advertising network. To become part of the network you are required to pay $5 a month. According to BPM, this fee will help get you mainstream exposure by including your blog in The Blogger & Podcaster Guide in USA TODAY and several other publications.
BPM is also looking to deliver healthcare benefits to U.S. bloggers and podcasters looking to go full-time. Details are currently vague. Once more details are released, we’ll bring you the latest.
Blog networks usually offer revenue sharing at best, sometimes bonuses for writing popular posts (frontpage on Digg, etc.). But that’s it. Although the details on what type of healthcare will actually be provided to the member bloggers, this is a groundbreaking development in the quality of blogging as a profession.
In the Philippines, it would be hard to imagine this ever being implemented, but with the number of Filipinos blogging for prominent blog networks, the push for added benefits like this could become a reality. Let’s hope it happens soon.

[...] American bloggers will soon enjoy health benefits, which is a pretty good sign online media is starting to look a little more legit, but as I have asked before, what about Filipino bloggers? Are they not supposed to enjoy any sort of benefits compared to the office workers of Makati, Eastwood, and Ortigas just because unlike them, they can work anytime, anywhere? [...]

Even the government looses its part of recognizing the Filipino talent , unless its election, they will recognize you..hmm, its a fearless forecast rather!
