Tanikalang Ginto™ (Filipino for Golden Chains) is the Philippines’ most comprehensive and largest human-edited web directory for Philippine-related sites. Tanikalang Ginto™ has been online since 1994.
Tanikalang Ginto™ is a one-man operation, basically the blog site of Ken Ilio aka Manong Ken during the early days of the Filipino presence on the Internet. Others talk about what’s going on their lives in their blogs, in Tanikalang Ginto™, Ken basically reviews the myriad of Filipino/Philippine-orientated sites that he finds in his daily meandering on the Internet.
Ken is a native of Malinao, Aklan on Panay Island in the Philippines and is currently based in Chicago, Illinois.
He was once chosen by the now defunct Web Philippines as one of the ten most influential Filipinos on the Internet and also one of Asia’s movers and shakers under 50 by Asia Inc.

Favicon

The favicon is that little icon located just before the url in your browsers address bar. It can also be found next to a website’s or page’s name in your list of bookmarks.

Ken Ilio Associates’ family of sites uses the equivalent of letter “P” in the ancient Tagalog script called “alibata.” I chose this icon to represent the first letter of the Philippines.

Principals

Ken Ilio, DVM, Ph.D. is a pioneer of the Internet, organizing online communities and building websites since the mid-1980s — including Tanikalang Ginto™, the most popular human-edited Philippine Web directory, which has linked Filipinos from all over the world since 1994. In 2005 he was named one of “50 movers and shakers under 50″ by Asia Inc. Despite the magazine’s “Who’s Hot in Asia” cover teaser, Dr. Ilio is actually based in Chicago, where he has been a prostate cancer researcher in the urology departments of Northwestern University Medical School and Cook County Hospital, and has taught biology to art and communications students at Columbia College. In recent years he has developed an interest in digital photography and has organized communities of photographers in both Chicago and his native Philippines.

Ron Dorfman is a veteran writer and editor based in Chicago. He was a founder and editor of the pioneering Chicago Journalism Review (1968-75) and later served as articles editor of Chicago magazine; editor of The Quill, the national magazine of the Society of Professional Journalists; and director of publications at the Field Museum of Natural History. An alumnus of the University of Chicago and the Stanford University Professional Journalism Fellowships Program, Mr. Dorfman has been a contributor to many newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals in the United States and abroad. He is the editor of Vanishing Treasures of the Philippine Rain Forest (Field Museum / University of Chicago Press) and of The Rape of Nanking: An Undeniable History in Photographs (IPG / Triumph Books), among other books, and is currently editing a photographic history of the Harold Washington years to be published in October 2007 by Northwestern University Press. In recent years he has consulted as researcher, writer, editor, and/or production manager for a wide variety of organizations — the affordable-housing and community-development clients of L.R. Glenn Communications; the Illinois Campaign Finance Task Force; the Illinois Division, ACLU; Pellett Productions (PBS documentary producers); the Mayor’s Office of Workforce Development; and the Science Institute of Columbia College, among others.
