Until October 2006, RE de Leon was a professor of Development Communication at the University of the Philippines, Los Baños. He has since left that post to be able to focus more on writing.
He received his Bachelor's Degree in Development Communication in 2000, and was the recipient of the Higino A. Ables Award for Best Undergraduate Research. He majored in Development Journalism and took additional units in Marketing, Economics, Social Forestry, and Management. In 2005, he received his Master's Degree in the same field, this time taking a minor in Information Science. His Master's Thesis focused on the health-related knowledge processes and flows in a Tagalog coastal village. Development communication is about using the art and science of communication to promote social development, and in a lot of ways that's what RE de Leon is all about.
Interested in ways of practicing Development Communication as an individual, RE De Leon is currently trying to understand what it would mean to be a "Development Blogger." He is hoping that a concept for organized "Development Blogging" might catch on, and he is currently working on A Wiki Model of Development Communication.
He is currently interested in mythology as the means by which a culture seeks to define itself, as a quide on the collective search for meaning, as a way people ask themselves the questions "who are we?" "what are we doing here?" and "where are we going?"
Three years ago, he founded the Philippine Order of Narnians, the Philippines' first community of CS Lewis enthusiasts. As a writer his strongest influences are CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, and inspirational writers John Eldredge and Philip Yancey.
He is currently working on a screenplay and a series of short novels set in 8th century Laguna, Philippines.

[edit] Tributaries of Laguna de bay
Status thus far: 13 of 21 Major tributaries (Marikina River existed before I started, which is to say I've made articles for 12 of the Tributaries )
Remaining rivers:
- Angono River
- Balanak River
- Cabuyao River
- Tanay River
- San Pedro River (Philippines)
- Pila River
- Pililla River
- Prinsa river
- Banca Banca River
- Tirado River
- Mabitac River
- Dampalit River
- Biñan River
- Jalajala River
- Napindan Channel
- Manggahan Floodway
I'm getting seriously irritated by different sources having different numbers for the number of tributary watersheds - apparently the result of some watersheds occasionally being treated as one, and by sometimes including or excluding the Manggahan and Napindan watersheds. Its making me bloody furious. At any rate, I'm about to complete the list of River Tributaries with River monitoring stations. (meaning the ones with conservation info available from LLDA)
- Molawin River NEW! (Home sweet home. hehe.)
- Bay River NEW! (Article also covering the Calo and Maitem Rivers, which are the Bae River's sisters. Also made Calo River, and Maitim River redirects to Bay River)
- Mangangate River NEW!
- Tunasan River NEW!
- Pagsanjan River NEW!
- Morong River NEW!
- Santa Cruz River (Philippines) NEW!
- San Cristobal River NEW!
- San Juan River (Calamba) NEW!
- Sapang Baho River NEW!
- Pangil River NEW!
- Siniloan River NEW! Also now contains my first ever image! Ha! Proud of myself. :-D
Some Questions in my head:
- Is the Napindan Channel part of the Pasig river, or a separate body of water altogether?
- Which of the two is the Calamba river? The San Cristobal or the San Juan?

[edit] Interest in WikiPedia
I am not sure if my case is unique, but I am a rather unusual Wikipedian in that I will readily admit to having an ulterior motive, although I assure the reader that motive will not adversely influence the quality of my postings. (Although my new-ness to Wikipedia might...)
You see, my first extensive use of Wikipedia as a reference came about because of I was doing research for what I call my Ma-Yi Project - a series of short novels set in 8th century Laguna.
Since I've been having trouble finding somewhere to properly visualize all the data I need, I've come up with the idea of making details of the research publicly available on Wikipedia. That way, not only do I get to organize my readings, everybody benefits from the research I turn up.
Since my novel project is not published yet, I won't be referring to its plotline or characters at all (which would not be appropriate anyway). I will basically be using wikipedia to create a picture of the world my character and plot will develop in - the real world of the Philippines, circa 8th century.
This benefits the community by making the material available, and benefits me because now I won't be alone in my research!
I suspect other novelists working stories based on real-life settings (fictional or not) will find the approach useful. :-)
[edit] The Ma-Yi Project
"Ma-Yi" is what the ancient Chinese called the people they traded with in what is now Mindoro. It is one of the first proper names given to the people who would eventually become modern-day Filipinos. [1]
I took up the name Ma-Yi back when I thought it possible that Ma-Yi could actually be modern day Pasig. But my readings have since convinced me that it was, indeed, what became modern Day mindoro. I have since reset my novel in Pila (in modern Laguna Province), which is also said to have already existed at around the time. But I have chosen to retain the "Ma-Yi Project" phrase, mostly as a matter of habit.
I have created a subpage, /Ma-Yi for the project, where I can record and organize my research, so that I can eventually add the findings to the appropriate wiki entry. I must request patience, however, as the task is quite tedious.

I authored the entry for the Philippine Order of Narnians, the Philippines' only organized community of CS Lewis enthusiasts, and a member of the New Worlds Alliance.

Since I am currently based in Agoo, La Union, I might as well add to the entry...
I found an extensive history of Agoo at [2] which can serve as a reference.
