11th State of the Barrio Address (SOBA): Welcome our new tagline!
“Keep Social Climbing Alive!”
That’s our tagline that endeared us to all of of you and gained us a lot of our followers worldwide. Except this reader from Houston who had no clue what our social climbing meant:
“What about you, the self-proclaimed “social climber”? You do realize, surely, what a contemptible connotation the term “social climber” has, no matter what kind of “spin” you want to put on it, Reynz.“
Our Social Climbing does not end here. Nah-ah! Hahaha! Just look at our records what social climbing did to Barrio Siete. 5 months ago, we started with an Alexa ranking of 20 million!
With 24/7 social climbing – karon?!
And the numbers are really humbling. Barrio Siete’s reach continues to mutiply threefold!
Pageviews continues to increase over 300+% and time spent in our blog stands at over 10 minutes. And in our 5th month in existence, we’ve added yet another very successful project up on our sleeves. Our Bayanihan Fund Drive for Ondoy Victims that brought us over Php160,000 with your unbelievable support. I was just wondering now, if we continued the fund drive and where that number would have ended up? Half a million perhaps?
Barrio Siete will continue to evolve. Social Climbing will always be alive here! We’ve reached our initial goal of proving something. But we’re not about to throw our social climbing model Ah-ah! World Peace pa rin kami. It will continue to be alive here in da Barrio.
But something in da Barrio will change.
And change is good, right?
So, the Barrio Council met online; had a Constitutional Convention without your knowledge; passed a barangay resolution that was approved unanimously nang mga present hahaha! Baket?! Tongressmen lang ba ang marunong mag-hijack nang legislations in the middle of a storm?! Hmpt!
So, let me introduce to you all our new tagline….
“Barrio Siete”
“IMBALANCED NEWS. BIASED VIEWS.”
You like?!
Violent reactions makes us sane.

about sa new tagline,
hmmm..parang mas gusto ko yung dati, social climb – kakaiba e.
baka di ko pa na a absorb yung bago. o baka di ko pa nage-gets yung meaning, dami work e hehe
“social climbing” smacks on it’s negative connotation kasi taz we gave it a completely different meaning haha
Ang taray taray naman ng bagong tagline!!!!
Meron bang supplementary explanayshun sa katarayan ng tagline ng barrio?!
Someone in the Barrio Council is drafting an Addendum to the Barrio Resolution para ma-i-bandillo hehehe, baka kasi indi na naman maintindihan nang mga iba dyan na maim-pluwensyal hehehe
“Barrio Siete”
“IMBALANCED NEWS. BIASED VIEWS.”
Hehehehe! That’s the most social climbing on line news website there is….
i prefer the previous tagline. mas s ang dating. s as in sensible? s as in sensational? s as in sexy? he he basta mas maganda ang dating tagline – it’s the ‘social climbing’ that made it!
hi bing! moi aussi. with great barrio siete writers, it was really social climbing and them that brought us to where we are now. we’re not dumping it though – i still love it, tugma pa rin sya, sabi nga ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan eh nalelechehan hehehe
Then that is another story… much better.
Very well represented. . . why not.
true! true!
hagalpak naman ako ng katatawa dito sa bago nyong tagline! oo nga naman, bakit hindi?!
pretty much the same reaction when bluep floated it amongst us in the barrio hehehe
ang mahirap nga niyan baka hindi ma-gets na mga bagong lurker at biglang maghuramentado without knowing the history of B7.
which is very true Leo. my officemates from New Orleans, initially did not get what “social climbing” was until i explained it to them. they did not even understand why we plastered our credentials in here. that too, i have to explain. hehehe
but our tagline “keep social climbing alive” was very successful actually. it elicits laughter and raises a few eyebrows.
and so it this one that we wanted to have… or is “considering” given the reaction that we’re getting.
“imbalanced news, biased views” is actually very witty. one has to read between the lines what it meant. hehehe
Ang taray ng new tagline ha! Following you now on Twitter
maldita ba masyado? hehehe!
kung sa visayan pa inungas nga tagline. an evolution to another dimension.
Congrats sa iyo mahal na kapitana at sa B7 members for a job well done lalo na sa ating fund drive, about the new tagline, okey na rin, wait na lang ako sa addendum
very welcome an2nette!
Ang taray. but i love it! very witty (reynz, baka mamisinterpreter nnaman yan ha? LOL) and “social climbing” is still part of the tagline right? like it. aprub! ~clap clap clap~
bahala sila magbasa between each spaces kung ano ibig sabihin nyan hahaha! mahirap ata gumawa nang Barrio Siete Dictionary hehehe
i love the new tagline but yeah wag lang totally i-dump yung dati. kasi wala dito ang barrio ngayon sa tugatog kung di dahil dyan. di ba manay?
congrats barrio siete, malapit na akong bumalik.
Nakangisi ako nung nabasa ko ang tagline, tiyempong may pumasok na kano. aba, akala siguro niya naloloka na ako. tumatawang mag isa.
kaaliw. although, the social climbing thing was also cool.
mabrook barrio siete!
Kung ano ang mabuti para sa kapwa natin yon ang dapat gawin at para tuloy sa lahat na rin diba! ang syete kung makakabuti ba! eh di gawin pero kung makasama sa iba itigil na lang natin. At mag tulungan na lang tayo para sa ikakaunlad nang bansa sa pighati at kalamidad. eto lang ang solosyon sa mga problemang dumarating sa atin puro reklamo wala naman ginagawa para sa iba!
Ikaw may nagawa ka na ba para sa iyong kapwa? kung wala magisip ka igan baka ito na yon! ang pagkakataon para maging isang pilipino karin na matatawag hindi puro pa ekla na lang! at galing sa salita wala naman magawa!!!.
Kami nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa kahit papaano para makatulong sa aming familya at inang bayan sa maliit na ambag nito kayo dyan! at iba nating kababayan makamasa daw pero asa nang asa sa gobyernong hikahos nanga para tumolong sa higit na nangailangan nating kababayan pabigat pa sila wala akung tinutukoy kung sino ang tamaan.
Dapat na magising ang natutulog na mahirap gisingin ang gising talaga diba!!!. eto para sa lahat narin ang pinoy mahusay pagdating sa ibang bansa bakit mahina sa sariling atin dahil ba sa walang pagkakaisa? makasarili eto? oh! ang batas natin lampa pabago bago sistima pula puti eka nga!.
mas gusto ko yung something about social climbing. household name na kasi ang “social climber” e. mas madali matandaan.
hmmmm… parang i like the two together!
konek pa rin. hihihi
maganda both. so why not keep them both. hehehe.. if you can have the two or why not di ba? i really love this site.
actually making the negative term into a positive one takes skills. ahhh.. if only she knew what it meant. another case of her only skill, barge in and start shooting.
forgive her. she must have a lot of slick running through her mind. you see, her doctor who’s also a blond, told her that her engine needed a new transfusion. she brought in a few gallons of Texas oil.
bless her heart.
