About the author

Who *are* you?

My name is Jaemark Tordecilla. I've been writing on the Internet for about 10 years now, and I have been paid for it occasionally.

I also recently joined the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism in May 2009, where I do a mix of technology and reporting (but, oddly enough, not technology reporting). This would be a good opportunity to point out that the views expressed on this site are strictly my own and do not reflect those of the PCIJ.

Prior to that I was an IT manager in an American company based in the Philippines, a graduate student at UP Diliman, a product development manager/web development manager/content producer for the Internet arm of a large Philippine television network, an editor for a defunct online youth magazine, and a computer science student at UP Los Banos.

Did you ever do any sportswriting?

Well, it's not really sportswriting, but a few years back I wrote a bunch of snarky columns for Peyups.com about the UP Fighting Maroons. Reading them back, I cringe because they were pretty mean-spirited (not good), although I still laugh for lines like this:

[Ateneo board representative] Jun-jun Capistrano tells us about the preparations of his school for the UAAP, and tells us that it's the school they choose, and that they rock, and that everyone else sucks. Mr. Capistrano also announces that they are requiring their students to attend their games against UE, FEU, Adamson, and NU as part of their "immersion" program.


You know the burning pits in hell are really, really hot, right?

Yeah, I heard.

Anything else we need to know?

Well, I don't know about needing to know anything, but I should probably mention that I root for the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants in the PBA, and I went to Letran and UP, so I cheer for the Knights in the NCAA and the Fighting Maroons in the UAAP. So you'll probably hear a lot about these teams from me, but I'll try my best to keep everything balanced.

Where can we reach you?

You can try leaving a comment, or better yet, write me a note at j@firequinito.com

I appreciate your frank inputs ,i may have sound like a broken record coz i know a lot are asking why used a respected sportswriter's name i know we have a press freedom but at times we must also practice responsible journalism..I know Quinito is not complaining ,in fact its also an added publicity to him..as they say good or bad it's still a publicity but it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth ..anyway more power to you..
