About Jomanila:
|
My real nickname is Jojo. I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. That is where I got the user name Jomanila. I am a registered sign language interpreter in our country. I have been signing for the deaf since 1992. I am a strong advocate of Filipino Sign Language and deaf culture.
I have created an article in 1996 entitled Love for the language means Love for the People - A Focus on Deaf Culture based on my personal experiences. This link is still alive and hosted by Geocities.
I am currently the Training Director of Manila Christian Computer Institute for the Deaf. I am also the first president of Philippine Web Accessibility Group, an advocacy group that teaches and promotes Web accessibility in the Philippines as a method of making information accessible to all including persons with disabilities (PWD). I am also a web designer and a proud member of Guild of Accessible Web Designers and a member of Web Standards Group. I have also contributed articles in web accessibility in Web Standards Group, Closed captioning on the Internet and Benefits of Accessible Websites.
I have authored the first reference book in my entire life just last 2007. It's entitled "Basic Web Accessibility Guide for Filipinos."
