A visitor wanted to tell us about his new music site AFIRtayo.com. Take a look:

www.AFIRtayo.com (A Filipino International Radio) has been created with the purpose of “bridging all the international Filipino communities in order for them to have one voice.”

Listeners may ask this question: “What makes AFIRtayo.com different from all the other net radios?”

Creative License, winner of the Best Overall Film in the National Film Racing Tour, is a story of a young Filipino immigrant struggling to make it in the big city.
