We were able to dissect last year’s awards with the help of GMCI. Here are the media values generated from the event. Inclusive are the sponsorships and tie ups for prizes, mainstream media coverage and online coverage by media agencies. Not included are blog posts generated by the Internet community which should definitely not be discounted. In total, we were able to generate close to PHP20 million pesos in media values from mainstream press alone.
We have very exciting plans for October 2009 and this year will be bigger and more engaging If you are interested to sponsor for this year’s awards, you can reach me at me at jayveefernandez dot com.

For you hard work and sacrifices that you made to make the 2008
Philippine Blog Awards possible. Without you this would not have been
possible. I know a lot of you have sacrificed a lot in this endeavor
from working online, sacrificing time and sometimes not sleeping at
all.
THANK YOU.
We are proud that you helped without asking, sacrificed without
expecting and for some of you the awards that you got are due because
of your own work and skill. Let no one tell you otherwise.
The volunteers have been one of the most important assets of the 2008
Philippine Blog Awards. Again, let no one tell you otherwise.
On September 21 2008 at 6:00 PM, the Philippine Blog Awards will be doing a live stream of the awards ceremony “over the air” courtesy of SmartBro at the One Esplanade. They will be providing Dedicated Badwidth (1 mbps) for the wi-fi provision to participants with mobile computers in many different areas of the room to enable those who cannot come to the awards to see it live from their computers at home. More thanks to Rsun My Technology Store for providing the laptops and Azrael as the lead live streamer for the event.
The 2008 Philippine Blog Awards would like to thank the following individuals for being part of this year’s awards as judges. This year’s judges mirror the growing diversity of the blogging community. A number are bloggers like you and me; several are known experts in their endeavors; there are even those who are pioneers and celebrities in their respective fields – although they would never be type of persons who would shout it out. Anyway, Thank you for all these people, members and friends of the blogging community who have agreed to be a judge in this year’s award.
