Ask any Filipino web designer, and they know or are somehow connected to the Philweavers, the largest bunch of organized Filipino designers anywhere. How come I've never heard of Filipino Graphic Designers Guild or Art Directors Guild (maybe there is... and I'm not a part of it, heheheh)? In the short time, the internet has been up, Filipinos have quickly adapted to this fast growing medium (adapation is one trait of Filipino Design, I will write more on this, stay tuned).
According to their site:
"PhilWeavers (PW) was created in October of 1999. Over the years it has evolved into what is now the Philippines' unofficial non-governmental, non-political representative for web design and webcentric visual communication. Today, it serves a worldwide community of Filipino Web Designers and in doing so, it aims to:
* Raise the standards of web design, professional practice, and ethics raise the professional status of the Filipino web designer.
* Further the appreciation of Filipino web designer's professional achievements.
* Extend web design's contribution to understanding among people.
* Promote the exchange of information, views, and research contribute to design education - theory, practice and research coordinate matters of professional practice and conduct.
* Establish philippine web design standards and procedures.
* Protect and improve web design professional fees to protect the livelihood of its practitioners.
Philweavers is an online global network of Filipino web designers. There are more than 300 active members in a number of countries that share common concerns, commitments, and standards."
You guys are an inspiration, mabuhay!
