Microwarehouse sponsors the Philippine Podcast Channel which features their top picks for the different podcast channels ranging from Gay Speak of Danton Remoto, technology magazine T3, lifestyle channel on Health and Fitness by Chinggay Andrada, politics by Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, Twisted by Jessica Zafra and Halikinu Radio show from the Ateneo campus.
Some of the other channels are derived from existing television talk shows (Mommy Talk, Digital Tour, etc.) which I doubt is a real podcast in the truest sense. What they could have done is stripped off the video and re-packaged the audio for download or via web audio streaming. The one of News Central is actually a vidcast and not a podcast.
High-profile podcasts there (since most of them are by celebs or TV personalities) but I’d rather they include [email protected] and Fr. Cuying’s podcast.
Update: The IT Girl adds that the The Philippine Podcast is not even a real podcast at all.

By definition, a podcast can either be in audio or video :)
Stand corrected. The general term would have been Vodcast or video-on-demand podcast(from Wikipedia).
[...] I heard news about the Philippine Podcast Central last Monday and was suprised to learn that Microwarehouse, a local Apple distributor, was sponsoring a local podcasting event. It was held at the Red Box in Greenbelt 3. [...]
[...] She quoted me in an earlier YM chat we had. Before it came out, I posted a more lengthy entry here two weeks ago just to expound on what I mentioned to her. Manuel Villoria had something to say as well… “While Pinoys love to talk and share their opinions on the air, not that many are willing to make the time to record their voice and upload it. There’s also the issue of sustainability. It takes a lot of time to produce a podcast.” [...]

Hi,
I’m a young OFW here in Riyadh KSA and I’m planning on conducting a site ‎which will soon include pod casting here in the middle east. ‎
I’m curious if I could check out if there’s a couple of Podcast sites back there in ‎the country and maybe do some small possible business with them. ‎
Best,‎
