💬 Quote of the Day
"The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty and love do not require coupons."
🇵🇭 Tagalog Word of the Day
Noun: Heritage, legacy, or inheritance. Something handed down from ancestors or past generations.
"PinoyBuilt is our digital pamana for the next generation of Fil-Ams."
Our site PinoyBuilt has been outperforming itself! Yesterday's AdSense earnings spiked >500% compared to the same day last week. Our "Last 7 Days" metrics are also up >500% vs. the previous 7 days, and "This month" is already +351% versus the same period last year. I may have found the "secret sauce."
Thank you to every visitor and reader of this site. Maraming salamat po! Please continue to come back and support. Thank you, Irene, for your comment! Hopefully, the rest of the gang joins in soon.
I’ve updated the site! Check out our refreshed About, Contributors, and Contact pages. I’ve also created a new link to easily access the last 10 recent comments here.
I created a new user for Pinoybuilt.com: Clarence. He’s been added to Contributors—be sure to read his latest post on the American Canyon rally.
Per usual, I still have tons of photos to edit and post. But you'll have to visit the site to see them. Please!
Melvin, Ress, and I met at my house in January 2003; I shared my vision (of what this site finally came to be). But Facebook exploded on the scene shortly after, and the three of us got too busy with life. Yet here we are. I do promise you that if I ever get as rich from Pinoybuilt.com as Mark Zuckerberg has from Facebook, I will not buy up all of Kauai. I will take you and your partner (family) on a world cruise!
Lastly, I migrated my post from Facebook on 3/13/20 to here: The Last Handshake. I’m back to what I was doing at PG&E at the start—data migration.
Happy Friday everyone!

J.F. (Jonjo) left the Philippines at age nine, spending a lifetime bridging the gap between his Marikina roots and his Chicago/Vallejo upbringing. A proud Hogan Spartan from East Vallejo and resident of LA/SF, he founded PinoyBuilt not just as a digital archive, but as a cultural compass for his three children to navigate their heritage, language, and identity with Pinoy Pride.
