TIM eMagazine Volume 2 Issue 1 | Page 4

Publisher’s Note Because you are important to us . . . W e at TIMe – Travel & International Maritime eMagazine are very happy that after a year, we continue to grow. We know that, despite the fact that there is now everything that caters to every particular taste and preference, it isn’t easy to be in a very tough, competitive world of publishing. Particularly when many like to stick with the tried and tested instead of venturing into something much more novel and enriching to both minds and senses. And we at TIM-eMagazine decided to embark on the latter, because we know that there are potentials that can be tapped there. We may sound a bit socially correct when say we want to be enriching for our readers. And yes, we are now working on our second volume. Yet it is through this way that we create value for our readers, partners as well as supporters because of our consistency in sticking to our principle on what we know will be best for them—as well our invaluable contribution to an industry that needs something that will create a really big difference. With so much claims to be the best or No.1 or being on the top, we ourselves would like to be most comfortable in sticking to our values. And we will continue to work to advantage on your behalf, dear supporters. PHILIP O. ORTALEZA 4
