And yes, I think the Philippine blogosphere is too small to come up with such list. Migs is on the money with "what makes a blog Pinoy". There are Filipinos that blog about totally foreign topics while there are foreigners that blog about the Philippines. I guess in the end, if our goal is to capture a screenshot of the "philippine blogging scene", I think we should be focusing more of "about the Philippines" rather than "by the Filipinos". @ von

How many people actually quote you and link back, as opposed to just including you on their blogroll. At the moment, Technorati can't tell the difference. On what makes a blog Pinoy: I guess, if it's something uniquely about Pinoy culture. My own blog, for instance, barely qualifies as a Pinoy blog. There’s another metric to build on #2.

I should be sure to add them for the next round of aggregation. Besides that, the <a href="http://www.megite.com/index.php?section=miguelparaz" rel="nofollow">Pinoy Megite cluster</a> seems to be doing OK.
