A couple of days more and the nominations for the 8th Philippine Web Awards will be closed. yet, I wonder why there hasn’t been any really noise about it recently. Besides the fact that they have already started charging nominees for entry fees, everything else seems to be the same albeit bland and uneventfull.
I scoured their web site once more for any news but nada, and I wondered why they have not by any chance contemplated on putting up a seperate Award Category for Blogs. Well, why not? I believe blog is something totally seperable from a personal website although in their definition of a personal blog, they included it as “sites that center on one person or one group, such as family and friends, focusing on background and interests, i.e. personal homepages, personal blogs, barkada sites”. Aren’t blogs supposed to be personal?
It was just a thought. I reckon, this year, blogging has become one of the major movers and shakers of the Philippine Internet Industry and what better way to fully recognize it than by adding it (as a separate category) in the Philippine Web Awards.
On second thought, why not have our own separate Blog Awards?

Could it be that the Philippine Blog Awards does this for them?
Yuga, Fleeb
I think it would be a great idea to put up a pinoyblog web awards. Sort of like a people’s choice award. Voting to be done online. One vote only per person/site in order to weed out bogus voters… maybe some other criteria would be needed to further strengthen this.
some categories would probably be personal blog, tech blog, group blog… etc or you could expand to sites other than blogs.
No physical prizes of course, unless somebody wants to donate, maybe the recognition and a logo would be good enough for an award (paging retx.. hehehe).
just a thought
How about deploying the ‘awards’ ala WP Theme competitions? Low-key, for hardcore bloggers only
On second thoguht, nah. The attention feeds the ego very well
@hoop - pwede naman yung PTB dun, diba? it also logs in the voter’s IP. ang kulang na lang eh sponsor :P.
re: logo/graphix/emblem, no prob ako dyan basta wak lang ca-ching$$ nyahaha wala ako nun. Todo pati pato ang supporta ko sa PTB hehe.
wak tau maingay at pahalata na nagpaparinig tau sa mga pwedeng magSPONSOR!!!
Sino kAya ang Sobra Sobrang bait at mamimigaY ng tulong? hmm. palimos pow! hehehe
SPONSOR! SPONSOR! SPONSOR! hehehe. ,V..
Huwag ipa-alam kay garci please. Pwede ba mag vote thru email para medyo mahirap mag bogus. I vote per email address lang. Pwede silang gumawa ng multiple address pero medyo nakakapagod.
@ Fleeb
The Phil. Blog Awards is an independent award site, ran by my good kumpare.
@ Hoop
It is in the works at PinoyBlog, but we still have not finalized the mechanics and criteria. It should be launched within the year. Been on my calendar for months now actually.
@ Rain
I actually did thought of that as some sort of a plogHost-sponsored content for local WP users. Still, my lack of time prohibits me to push them at an early date.
@ Retz & Kates
It’s in the works. Something almost fool-proof and concrete.
sana matuloy ang mga plano nyo
magandang move yan para sa mga bloggers
do i need to have a WP to join???
I thought there willl be a “blog category” as my preconception for the 8th philippine web awards this year, but unfortunately the oranizers haven’t put up one. They’ve included the “blogs” under personal category but I think it shouldn’t, why because in a much wider sense, (although blog is personal) blog has its own thought space of interactivity as oppose to what the Philippine web awards means of “Personal Site Category”.
Imho, they should put up a separate category for this…. surely a lot of netizens/bloggers will flux this event een though for the payment.
Putting separate blog awards — I like the concept, blogs will be categorize and filtered. Beyond the subject, am I the only one using TXP? I like WP too but we’re all free here…
@yuga
That’s great!
