I was watching the live feed and i heard the presenter said “And the winner is…OUR VERY OWN…”
Ano ba naman yun, puro magbabarkada ang nanalo at nominado. Sana next year judges na lang din ang pipili ng nominees kasi kung organizers, bloggers din kasi. Atsaka sana it will represent the BEST in the blogging industry. Daming magagandang blogs di man lang nanominate. Opinion lang po. World peace!

A little constructive criticism from the eyes of a newbie in the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards… do click the link for my opinion and some commentaries as well.
I think that winners do deserve to be winners but sometimes the category they are in does not fit like for Professional Heckler and The Creature Lover… others are nominated for 2 categories which I believe a blog should only have one main category for nomination.
A mixed blog should be a Personal Blog or choose which category is his/her main focus.
Thanks and again congrats to all winners!

By being a finalist we are all winners… organizing an event like this is not easy. Again I am congratulating everyone… the organizers… the volunteers and also thanking all the judges…
Sometimes people who want to help and make some criticisms are seen as someone out to destroy it… well commonly that’s what people see me because I tend to give comments and some criticisms specially if I really consider myself as a part of such a community.
I am a blogger and I sure want that all of us will improve together… isang komunidad na sama-sama at nagkakatulungan.
Mabuhay ang mga bloggers!
An experience worth mentioning… the coolest blog awards and my first time of course…
.. and here is what being a finalist did to my blog… Thanks to PBA for it not for this I would not have think ways to improve my craft.
Congratulations to all the winners!

Go bloggers! Mabuhay Philippine Bloggers!
Galing talaga ng mga pinoy!
Syempre naman… pagdating sa dedication at passion number 1 ang Pinoy!
Thanks sa lahat ng nagreoply dun sa post ko about The Philippine Blog Awards 2008… it is an article aim to clarify things. A constructive criticism so that others will know how PBA works and how it is handled. Thanks po ng marami!
This guy has a point:
The Objectivity of the Philippine Blog Awards 2008
Unang una ay congratulations sa mga nanalo. Naniniwala pa rin ako na lahat kayo ay deserving na manalo ng inyong nakuhang award para sa Philippine Blog Awards 2008. Mahirap magmaintain ng blog at alam ko na ito ay isa sa mga tagumpay na maaari ninyong makuha para sa inyong pinaghihirapan. Subalit sa kabila ng tagumpay at ganda ng awards na ito ay mayroon pa ring ilang punta na nais sana akong itanong o bigyang pansin. Mga puntong nag-iwan sa akin ng tanong at kakatwang tingin sa Blog Awards na ito.
Nang pumasok ako sa Coral B ng One Esplanade ay nakita ko na ang simoy ng “elite circle” ng blogging community. Ang daming Pinoy Bloggers perso magtataka ka kasi ang official language nila ay hindi Filipino kundi English. Dahil ako ay isang baguhan sa awards na ito minsan inaakala ko na wala na yata ako sa Pilipinas. Pareho namang Filipino ang nag-uusap pero pagandahan pa ng diction at ng slang… HANEP!
Simula pa noong una ay madalas kong tingnan kung sino ang mga judges pero hanggang sa awarding kahapon ay hindi mo sila makikita sa website ng Philippine Blog Awards at ngayong araw ko na lamang ito nakita. Maganda ba ito o hindi? Depende sa dahilan. Kung ang intensyon ay para hindi maimpluwensyahan ng bloggers ang mga judges okey yan… pero yun ay kung hindi rin sana kasali sa mga nominees at finalist ang mga organizers at sabihin na nating volunteers nila, Di ako sigurado kung yung last na nagsalita e sya rin yung nanalong Best Network Blogger… well sana mali pagkaintindi ko.
Sa aking nakita… at sana mali pa rin ako eh ilan sa mga nanalo ay bahagi ng organizers at yun nga yatang nagvovoice over ay dalawa pa ang awards. Wala namang masamang manalo kaya lang hindi ba may undue influence ang mga organizers sa mga judges… kung volunteers naman sila well para sa akin masama pa rin tingnan yun.
Volunteers and organizers should automatically not qualify as a finalist to ensure objectivity and credibility.
Sana mabigyan ang lahat ng pagkakataon na mabigyan ng pansin ang kanilang mga blogs… mahirap man sila o mayaman… mom man o nanay ang tawag nila sa kanilang ina… Englisero man o karaniwang Pinoy.
Salamat sa nomination at pagpili nyo sa blog na ito bilang finalist. Kudos sa mga organizers for a job well done… aba eh mahirap din naman talaga magorganize ng ganito.
Wala man lang badge ang Bloggers Choice awards dun sa listahan ng badges. Bakit po?

kelan po makukuha ang trophies ng mga di naka-attend sa awarding?
I disagree with Dave D’Angelo. Creature Lover talks about cats mostly. However, it doesn’t talk about “cutie-cutie” cats but stray cats. It talks about how the author helps stray cats (spaying, cleaning, medicating, etc.). Stray cats (and dogs) and how they are neglected by our society is in fact a SOCIAL ISSUE.
As described by the PBA, the Best Commentary Division focuses on a variety of topics from Social, Political, Historical and even Scientific posts.
“Commentary” posts need not be negative (complaining or telling about political or social issues all the time). It can also be positive (tell funny or touching stories, etc.)
Moreover, the welfare of other animals are also discussed *lightly* in Creature Lover.
sana may education category next year.
