2008 Philippine Blog Awards Winners

Last night after I went to mass, I went online and checked the latest happenings in last night’s awarding of the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards. From the blogs that I have read, the awards night started around 6 P.M. I arrived our flat around 7:30 P.M. and at that time the final award for the night was to be announced. I even went to the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards website where there is a live streaming of the awards night. The sad thing is that there is no audio and video (Thanks to SMART for that!).

I was nominated at the Blogger’s Choice category and was quite excited to hear the winner. I was hoping to win but in reality there is no chance that I would win. For obvious reasons that my co-nominees are well-known and all of them deserve to win. Since there is no video streaming, I just logged in to Asrael’s site where there is a chat applet. Batang Yagit won for the Blogger’s Choice. Congratulations, you definitely deserve the award.

To the other winners, congratulations and let’s make blogging an opportunity to show the world how Filipinos are opinionated and smart tech savvy.
