In the World Wide Web


Author/journalist Felino M. Santos has written hundreds of thousands of news reports, special reports, features and fast breaking news for local, national and foreign news agencies and publication in a career that started in 1976. 

He has come out with this output as news reporter, correspondent, Bureau Chief of the Philippines News Agency (1979-1989) and stringers for other news agencies to the present. He has also served as news editor of several newspapers in Zamboanga from 1980 to the present (2009) although files of these publications are hard to keep through the years and have not found their way to the World Wide Web.

Unfortunately, the archiving of these published reports in the World Wide Web started only in the late 1990s and it is only in recent times that most published materials ended up being accessible in the Internet.

The links in these pages are of recent times and represent only a  drop of the volume of printed materials , written by the author, in a career  that has so far spanned over three decades.
