Time Magazine Unofficial *Erratum*

By philobean | July 30, 2007

I’d like to declare an unofficial erratum to Time Magazine’s July 30, 2007 Issue. Page 49 , the magazine’s music feature zooms in on the Philippines and one of Manila’s premiere bands, Up Dharma Down. Paragraph 6, lines 15-16, somewhere along the feature’s third column, names Rivermaya as an example of an ASEAN band making it regionally. It also cites Singapore as Rivermaya’s country of origin instead of the Philippines, which would be closer to fact, to say the least. (Aside: Besides this not-quite-minor error, I quite liked the Time Magazine feature)

    nice one. you should write to time ;-) about PH bands, maybe the philippine music scene should benefit from strong net presences.

    That (i.e. your second point) reminds me of our most recent rep to the Miss Universe Pageant. Our candidates almost always win the *Miss Photogenic* prize, no? That’s determined by Internet Voting (winks). Indicative of strong Pinoy presence online?

    Hehe. You are right! Pinoy are notorious texters and Internet Voters!
