  Dear Word Press Support,

  I am a Word Press blogger and I would like to report a case of plagiarism by one of the bloggers here who writes with the blog title “The Tummy Traveller.”

  I acccidentally discovered her/his malpractice when one of the visitors to my now inactive blog (365 Great Pinoy Stuff) said that he read the same post in another blog. To my dismay I found out that this is not just a case of one post or blog, but several items copied wholesale, word-for-word, including the photos.

  I could have ignored this if this was an isolated case of just one post but there is a clear pattern and the danger is that people or visitors to my blog would think that I am lifting my post from others and not the other way around.

  I already have sent an email to Tummy Traveller and gave warning. I also found out that another blogger from a non-Word Press account also complained against this Tummy Traveller.

  To give you details my posts that were copied by Tummy Traveller were titled ‘Champoy,” “Puso,” “Pasonanca Park,” “Kayanging Cove,” “Davao White Water,” etc…. So far I have identified at least 8 posts, but there could be more. I don’t have the time now to further check Tummy Traveller’s archives. I will do so when the time allows.

  I look forward to your response and support.

  Best regards,
