Many writers of Barako suspect the name to have come from the “male
boar” but if linguistics is to be consulted, not only do Batangueños
call pigs barako,
but other animals as well and people themselves, whether men or women,
as long as they manifest either masculinity or strength – or bravery.
That's how we use the word - not a being but a character ...<< MORE >>

Yes, I do!  After all, it's my surname. 

Buy and Sell Philippines, popularly known as Sulit.com.ph, is the country's no. 1 e-commerce site owing to its popularity marked by high rankings in the Search Engines and millions of visitors. You cannot miss the site by a simple search for online classifieds, products and services.  Members not only enjoy free ad spaces, they are also able to build profile sites, also for free, and join the others in chat and discussion.  No wonder it has become hugely popular in only two years since its inception. And for a Filipino e-commerce site to do that is truly amazing.  I would really like to think I own the site!

But the developer of this remarkable site is RJ David, a twenty something Mechanical Engineer-turned-web developer. He entered the IT industry in 2003 as a Software Test Engineer, in 2005 as a PHP Architect / Senior Developer, and on to become a full time freelancer. In a post at Pinoy Tech Blog.com, RJ's "decision to leave the security of employment was brought about by the influence of the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” (by Robert Kiyosaki) on him."  I might as well grab a copy of that book.

Personally, I agree about three things from that post: the clean and simple interface, the greatly enhanced product gallery and the large amount of posts in each category.  Usually when you opt for a free service anywhere, you have a poor chance of getting noticed, as compared with a paid or premium service.  But with Sulit.com.ph, not discounting the fact that you get better chances with its premium services, you can't feel that you are being left behind.  Which only means that the developer has a heart for everybody.

Fortunately for me, the great guy is not a Sulit!  I can still have a chance to buy the whole thing some other day.  Meanwhile, I may just take pride brandishing the site's banners better than anybody else.  Thanks, RJ, for choosing such a great domain name!

Hence the name MyLako: my - for your personalized web experience plus lako - Tagalog for peddle, product, ware or trade.  Batangueños are best known as a peddling people from the Philippines' Southern Tagalog region.
