Dine is a writer, researcher, content provider, professional blogger and new media consultant.

She brings with her a rich set of experience in the corporate world, as well as in the field of research and writing. Having taken early retirement after working as an international civil servant for 22 years from the Asian Development Bank, she has aggressively pursued her main interest in writing and research. She blogs for The D Spot (http://dine.racoma.com.ph), which bagged the Best Blog—Home and Living in the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards and Globe’s Digital Tribe Luzon Award for the 2009 PBA. She is co-publisher of The Filipina Images (http://filipinaimages), an advocacy for cleaning the image of the Filipina in the Internet. She is the editor of The CRIBS Blog (http://cribsfoundation.org/blog/) which creates an awareness for abandoned and surrendered babies and sexually abused females aged 7-17.

She provides virtual assistance, webcontent and articles for various international and local clients through home-based staff located all over the country.

On the personal side, Dine Racoma is a mother to 7, grandma to 3, a wife to 1 and a friend to many.

Dine Racoma is not supporting any candidate at the moment--she is encouraging the Pinoy to truly look into the heart of each candidate--and in the end, make an intelligent choice and make his/her ONE VOTE matter.
