A new business paper is now circulating all over Davao City — The Edge Davao. It’s the first of its kind here: a newspaper that’s dedicated to business, investment and economy-centric news. And I’m part of it! I have been invited to handle the one-page “ICT hub” section, which is now the new home of my IT talks! column.
My section also has feature articles, and quick facts about the IT industry of Davao City and the region.
Aside from the ICT hub section, the paper’s other sections are: The Economy, Entrepreneurs, Vantage Points, SciTech, Competitive Edge, AgriTrend, Community Sense, and Games. The last one isn’t about video games — it’s more for sports, particularly golf and other sports that are popular among businessmen.
I am deeply honored to be in the presence of media heavyweights. The paper’s editor-in-chief is Antonio “Tony” Ajero, one of Davao’s most respected journalists. Backing him is the venerable Ramon Maxey, who is the paper’s editorial consultant. And managing the entire operation is Olivia Velasco, who has tons of experience and skill in building publications from the ground up. The Edge Davao certainly has a bright future ahead.
The paper comes out once a week, every Monday. Eventually, in the foreseeable future, we’ll become a daily newspaper. It is circulated all over the city, and will soon be covering neighboring cities as well. You can read the paper at any of the popular coffee shops in town, as well as at hotels. Subscription will soon be offered. For information, please call (82)221-3601.
Website? Coming soon!

@tiara / Winston — Thanks for your comments, guys! Btw, if you’d like to contribute to my section in The Edge, let me know.
UPDATE:
The paper’s name has been fine-tuned a bit, and is now Edge Davao.
Edge Davao is still undergoing birth pains. To our growing readership, thank you for your understanding and patience!
Iam happy that there is a newspaper The Edge now circulating in Dvao City. Although right now being in Calbayog City I may not be able to read the maiden issues of the newspaper. Nevertheless I hope I may be able to contact my long long long missed first cousin Antonio “Tony” Ajero. I think it’s more than 10 long yeras that we haven’t seen, met nor the opportunity to talk to each other.
Tony if this is you indeed, please contact me with these telephone numbers (055)209-2916 (pldt) or 09158869924( cel globe) or just email me your email address, home telephone number or celphone number. ASAP ?…Thanks to your newspaper I have found you.
Hello Mr. Ajero! Thanks for dropping by. AMA is Edge Davao’s editor-in-chief (and part owner). I have forwarded your email address and contact numbers to him.
Btw, the paper’s name has been changed to simply EDGE DAVAO.
Dear Mr. Blogie,
Thank you for being generously accomodating and for being a bridge between me and AMA . That’s what I call genuine public service. With the growing educated and critical population, I believe EDGE DAVAO (with its experienced editorial heavyweights ) will not be wanting in a bigger share of discriminating readership. More power to the EDGE DAVAO!
@Leonardo Ajero — It was my pleasure. AMA is my idol.
@ Leonardo Ajero — wow! my father’s long lost first cousin ba kamo? that makes you my uncle then.
@ blogie, nakakataba ng puso that you admire AMA. He has yet to send me a copy of Edge. Btw, I hope you could help Edge build its own website.
@Maya — Hi there. Yes, I am helping the paper out with the website. It will be done before you know it.
