Bio

Paul Farol started blogging in 2005 with a blogger blog. Originally titled “Philippine Business and Life Stories” with the URL www.pinoybiz.blogspot.com, this blog was an early attempt to cash in on the Google Adsense craze. After fiddling and tinkering with it for months, he eventually gave up the idea of earning “thousands of dollars” through blogging. The blog remained mostly dormant until December 2008 when the Bambee dela Paz blog broke out. According to the young and pretty female golfer, her brother and father became victims of violence on the golf course at the hands of the family of the Secretary of Agrarian Reform, Nasser Pangandaman. The blog’s account was eventually outed as a misleading one-sided account that neglected to say that it was Bambee’s father and brother who provoked the attack. As “Philippine Business and Life Stories”, the blog rode the crest of the Dela Paz blogstorm and the visits that came from a series of posts on Dela Paz encouraged Paul to take the blog towards a different direction – that of political blogging. Still with the same URL, the blog was renamed “Pinoy Buzz” and was fitted out with a new raison d'etre playfully phrased as “stinging until the truth comes out in blisters”. Pinoy Buzz proposes an Inquisition of sorts against the agents of his country’s damaged culture.
