The 3rd Philippine Blog Awards — Visayas Leg
Philippine Blog Awards Visayas 2009
I was ecstatic after we successfully concluded the Visayas Event of the Philippine Blog Awards last weekend (October 18, 2009) at Ayala City Sports, Cebu City. The event was not as extravagant as the Manila event but it was well attended by bloggers, media and a few sponsors from the Visayas region.
The Awardees
Three special awards were given that night. The Cebu Bloggers Society Blog bagged the Visayas Bloggers’ Choice Award after they received the most number of votes (through blog posts) from the region. The second award given was the Best Visayan Blog — an award given to the blog from the Visayas written in any Visayan language/vernacular. Clado’s Dahong Laya bagged that award. And the last special award that was given that night was the Best Visayas Locale Blog — an award given to the best blog which talks about a certain town or city in the Visayas. Explore Iloilo, who wasn’t there at the awards night, was the one who brought home the said award.
Aside from the PBA special awards, Globe also awarded the Digital Tribe award to ten Visayas Bloggers who have exhibited a significance in their respective communities. Among those who bagged the award are Vanjohnn, Wilford, Jorich, Xerxes and Sinjin. Also during the program, Estan Cabigas was awarded with Best Travel Blog (Langyaw – Sojourns and Off-the-Beaten Path Travels) and Best Photoblog (I Am a Documentary Photographer), two of the major awards won after he missed to accept during the Philippine Blog Awards in Manila.
The organizers and volunteers of the 3rd Philippine Blog Awards in Visayas
Of course, the success of the PBA Visayas won’t be possible without the help of the members of the board of the Philippine Blog Awards and of the blogger friends who flew all the way from Manila to volunteer in the Visayas event. To everyone who played a role in this success, THANK YOU.
