PGMA Lives a Second Life

It seems that PGMA (President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) just got into Second Life. Various news sources have confirmed that our (Philippines) President is now officially a Second Life resident. LOL!

Other personalities also activated their avatars in Second Life like Department of Science and Technology Secretary Estrella Alabastro and IBM Executive Vice President for Innovation and Technology Nick Donofrio. Honestly, I don’t know who they are but their titles sounds very important. LOL!

The avatars were created by Gabby Dizon of Flipside Games under the direction of IBM Philippines.

Now that she has an avatar in-world would she be the one controlling her avatar? Or will they hire or have hired someone to play her role as President? Or will she just be there for display purposes only? Makes you think and ask questions, right? LOL!

Anyway, I think the Filipino Second Life community is very excited about this and this might also encourage more Filipinos to use Second Life. This might even attract local businesses to set up offices in-world.
