Hi everyone, join me in welcoming the Yahoo! Philippines Editor here in Yahoo! Answers!  Some of you know this already but 2 weeks ago, she started asking the community different questions that are usually related to a news article or story featured in the Yahoo! Philippines home page.

The first question our editor asked was “Is it ok to use smileys and text lingo like “tnx” in a thank you letter after an interview?“  and 27 Answers users shared their answers.  Congrats to Kat for explaining why, although text lingo is a common part of our day-to-day conversations, it’s really not a good idea to use it when applying for a job.

Last week, she asked the question “Do you believe changing the Constitution to institute federalism will help the development of the Philippines?“, this time in relation to the news about Malacañang’s support for the amendment of the Charter to support changing our form of government from a republic to a federal one.  To our surprise and delight, 118 community members shared their opinions on the topic!  It was pretty overwhelming especially because a number of you gave really comprehensive and well-thought of answers.  However, there can only be one best answer and the person chosen was mjlocad, who gave a concise, informative and compelling explanation behind his answer.

That’s just the first two, expect our Yahoo! Philippines Editor to be regularly asking questions to the community on topics about what’s happening in and around our country.  You’ll see these questions in the Featured Module of the Yahoo! Philippines home page and I’ll be featuring them as well in the Best of Answers.  So watch out for our Editor’s questions and feel free to do what you do best here in Answers – answering questions.
