History

The Happy Pinoy concept began in 2004. Young people were applying to be students at Doolittle School - a Computer Based Training Center, in San Mateo, Rizal, Philippines. Many applicants were not qualified to be programmers but displayed very good skills as communicators. During that period the school did not have time, resources, or a method to help those people.

In early 2005 Pinoy acquaintances and I were discussing some of our visions for the ways we could provide service to a wider group of people. It was mentioned that there had been a recent survey of people throughout the world. The results of the survey placed the Philippines at, something like, number 2 in the world (under the classification of countries that had the highest level of happy people within their society). We could not locate the publication to get full details, and still have not found it. My personal experience relating to the Philippine people, since first coming here in 1986, indicates that the survey must be true.

The Philippines, in my experience, has people with hard lives, low income, poor working conditions, bad streets, and a government that wants to reinvent itself weekly. With all these negative things the people are willing to smile, laugh, and give each other cheerful greetings. As all people do, they complain about everything from the weather, which I believe is always perfect, to the smallest things but they are inwardly, outwardly and truly "happy" people.

The name "Happy Pinoy" was suggested in that it would be a great name for a project and possible Internet web site. In early March 2005 Barya Lang Web Page Design registered the names happypinoy.com, happypinoy.net, and happypinoy.org as major Internet web sites. We did not have time to begin to develop the new registered web sites until July 2005.

During the period between January 2005 and March 2005 the concept of extending our outreach to Philippine people with creative writing and communication talent, but little future in programming, came together. We began training people to talk about the Internet and to sell our very low cost web page design service. In August 2005 we have opened the site http://www.happypinoy.org for individuals to publish their written creative words on the Internet. We hope this will give the individuals that submit the words public exposure. This may allow many people to stay in the Philippines and write for organizations and publications worldwide.

We review the words that authors, writers and composers submit to publish. Our review determines if the writings reflect the "Happy Pinoy" attitude that I see daily in the Philippines. The results will be a web site that provides a "happy" place to visit. We pray that the people throughout the world will find http://www.happypinoy.org a place they can go to and get their spirit uplifted by the Pinoy in a country that is "Happy", the Philippines.
