Pilipino-American Lifestyle Online Community Under New Management

BakitWhy.com formally announces the official completion of the transition into new management and ownership, offering even more products and services to the Pilipino-American Community!

Los Angeles, CA – Oct. 19, 2010 – BakitWhy.com is excited to formally announce that we are now officially under new management and ownership!

BakitWhy.com was founded in the spring of 2008, and immediately after its inception, a group of Internet professionals and community leaders came together to create this premier Online Community for the Pilipino-American Lifestyle. Since August 2008, BakitWhy.com has been owned and operated by Kasama Media LLC; an online community solutions provider for businesses and organizations. Its purpose:  to provide an online outlet for the Pilipino American lifestyle. Drawing from years of experience leading several Pilipino-American organizations, the BakitWhy.com team built a rapidly growing online community based on grassroots organizing, social media expertise, innovative business integration practices, and an understanding of the offline and online audience.

As of July 1st, 2010, BakitWhy.com has promoted new leadership to guide it though the transition into its newest version, BakitWhy.com 3.0.  As the flagship product of Kasama Media LLC, BakitWhy.com is now managed by three of its long-term staff members.

Along with the management changes, a continuing expansion of team members has also progressed nationally. There will be greater coverage of more events across the country, as well as the sharing of more diverse Pilipino-American lifestyles that individuals from the multi-generational community can freely blog about using their own free accounts. 

We want to be a part of their lives as that reliable neighbor you can always turn to for a cup of sugar. From wanting to find out what’s going on in Pil-Am entertainment or wanting to support Pil-Am businesses, we aspire to be integrated into their lives, to be the first Pil-Am resource they can turn to.

Managing Partner, Kasama Media
