This
website has been created and is being voluntarily
maintained without any costs to the organization.
Its existence could be traced back to a
letter of proposal sent to DBI President Rogelio F.
Fuentes dated 17 July 2003. A copy was also sent
via e-mail to then Editor, Mrs. Ester Fulleros-Abitona.
The
Webmaster formally presented the proposal before the
members of the Board in their monthly meeting dated 03
August 2003, at the association's headquarters in Sta.
Mesa, Manila
Among
all others, the following were presented:
Objectives:
1.
To provide an alternative means of access to the
existing Gazette to help it reach more people, including
non-Buluseños who could simply be inspired by what the
organization is doing – and do the same for their
respective hometowns
2.
To promote pride in the hometown among online
Buluseños here and abroad
3.
To make the Gazette more interactive, being a
repository of current and previous issues
4.
To provide another “first” for DBI, as this
undertaking would be the first of its kind among all the
other resident organizations in the entire Province of
Sorsogon
