About The Advocate website

The school paper made itself online through the efforts of the former editor in chief Jasper Barcelon, managing editor Robald Castillon, the first web editor Engel Ang Tong, and art director Armani Garcia, on September 25, 2006, consisting of 5 news, 2 features, 5 sports articles, The FEU TAMBayan Forum (formerly The FEU Advocate General Discussion Forum), a tagboard (chatbox), University Profile, 5 random comic strips, and some UAAP statistics.

 

On SEPTEMBER 21, 2006, The Advocate website contained advertisement banners as Island Photo Center Inc. as the first advertiser.

 

The Download Center was created last DECEMBER 20, 2006.

 

On FEBRUARY 2007, the University Profile, UAAP game results, site polls and gallery were added.

 

On MAY 16, 2007, the first video was uploaded and displayed on the site, creating The Advocate TV (Tamaraw Video) having the Far Eastern University hymn (in video) as the first video (courtesy of the FEU Media Center).

 

On MAY 20, 2007, The FEU Advocate General Discussion Forum was renamed as The FEU TAMBayan (through online voting) by its members.

 

As part of The Advocate tradition, an online version of The FEU Advocate - UAAP Season 70 Online Special (Primer) was conceptualized, and began its construction (online) last JUNE 17, 2007 and was fully operational last JUNE 29, 2007 to provide an accessible online glimpse of the FEU Tamaraws in the 70th season of the UAAP. This tradition began in print only last 2001 under the supervision of the former Editor in Chief Ian Evasco. The current online version of the UAAP primer was made possible by the former Sports Editor Hazel Sanculi (IN-2007), former Associate Web Editor Aldrin Vasquez (IN-2007), with the contributions of former Advocate Editor in Chief Ian Evasco and Arvin Dauz and FEU TAMBayan members.
