Greetings  from  the  Philippine  Internet Users  Society!

For the first time in history, the Philippines will  join  a  target  of  some  50  countries on September  22, 2009  in a  simultaneous global annual  celebration of  Internet day - OneWebDay,  which is aimed  at  highlighting  the  importance  of the  Internet in  empowering  individuals,  enhancing  social  ties,  and  contributing  to  economic  growth and  development.

The event would surely be more successful with a  little  help from people like you.  In this respect,  we  are  inviting EVERYONE TO JOIN THE CAUSE and BE A “DONOR” for a minimum amount of 100 PESOS you become a part of the event and is entitled to a "I Celebrate-OneWebday Certificate" memento which you can get during the event at Mall of Asia or directly delivered to you.

PIUS is the  official host  and principal organizer  of the local celebration  of OneWebDay,  which was started by the New York-based OneWebDay Inc., a non-profit  organization founded in  2006  by Susan Crawford, now  an adviser of  President Obama on science, technology, and innovation policy at the National Economic Council. OneWebDay  is  considered the counterpart  of the  April 22  Earth  Day for the  Internet.

As a non-profit organization, PIUS is organized like a movement that is enjoining everyone from individuals, businesses and organized groups  to  contribute their share to this growing  global phenomenon. PIUS is inviting malls, schools and other commercial  areas to hold their respective events as OneWebDay  zones.

Internet  shops,  for instance,  in partnership with  I-CAFÉ Pilipinas , are encouraged  to  offer  Free tutorial services to  non-users for an hour,  or  half  day,  or  even an entire  day. After all, this will generate  new customers  for them. PIUS is also holding its main OneWebDay Festival at the SM  Mall of Asia, which will feature a band concert, a FREE PC repair, online sellers EB, a symposium and seminar-workshop for  e-commerce operators, and  a  lot more.

There are volunteers  working on our website for free, and other  groups organizing various events starting with a package  of  events  at SM Baliuag on Sept. 18 (check website  for details). This is the strength of PIUS, which is anchored on the more numerous and often financially-strapped micro home-based entrepreneurs, who are practicing volunteerism and reviving the traditional “Bayanihan Spirit,” which is fast vanishing to the dog-eat-dog market competition. A manifestation of this  is  the  commitment of  some  20 computer technicians willing  to offer  computer repair  services  for  FREE  at Sept. 22  OneWebDay  celebration  at  SM  Mall of Asia. .

Also,  we  are  inviting your business to be our “DONOR” for a minimum amount of P10,000, or  in  kind like gift certificates, or prizes, or a combination  of both,  to help us defray expenses  for  the OneWebDay celebration.

1. Your business will be recognized during the event.
