Let's do this countdown the BakitWhy.com way! We're counting down the top ten most popular posts of the year. The rank of each post is determined by not the topic nor writing, but by responses from you, our awesome online community! If you're itching to find out what's been hot this past year and just joined in on the fun, this is the 2008 list for you!
2008 marks the year of an emergence of Pilipino American involvement in mainstream culture and politics. It also marks the year that a ragtag group of scrappy Pil-Ams created BakitWhy.com in a crowded bedroom with a matress for a conference table. We were extremely fortunate enough to chronicle many of these inspiring and riveting showcases of talent, unity, and heart of Pilipino Americans. We combed the content over the past few months and found that you, the community, gravitated towards several reoccuring topics and trends. As we party our way into 2009, we present everyone the...

An editorial by Russellie
About two months or so after I moved to New York, I caught wind that Barack Obama was speaking at NYU. Of course I went and while there, I new I was watching history when I saw him campaign to be the democratic nominee.

With a little less than two weeks left before this year's historic election, an issue that seems to have been swept aside to make room for others is that of immigration. Even when it was mentioned, we heard very little about the issue unless it pertained to Mexico or Latino Americans and any immigrants who are on American soil in ways that the U.S. Government doesn't approve of. Debates went on about amnesty periods, a faster application process, benefits for persons already here, securing borders to deter crossing illegally, etc. But, what does that mean for Pilipinos that want to come to the United States?

Look out for breakdowns of major election topics such as immigration, war, economy, etc. as they apply to Pil-Ams this month on BakitWhy.com.
