Several months ago, I was invited to join this contest by the Malaysia Tourism Board. One finalist per country will be chosen and he can bring along one of his readers (plus another one of the reader’s choice). I wasn’t able to join but fortunately, one of our YugaTech special assignments correspondent, Calvin Lo, did and he’s now a finalist.

So we’re reaching out to all our readers, friends and fans to help us win this Trip to Malaysia and also get a chance to join Calvin and others in this all-expense paid trip.

To sweeten the deal, Calvin is also giving away all (almost) of his nice and shiny gadgets to those who join in so there are more winners even if they don’t get to bring everyone to Malaysia.

Here’s the mechanics of Calvin’s giveaway.

Here’s the Malaysia Facebook Contest page.

Go join and help us win this trip! If for nothing else, there are tons of gadgets at stake as well. Contest ends tomorrow midnight (April 8, 2011) so better hurry.

Disclosure: Calvin bribed me to help him boost his numbers. :D

I hope Calvin wins this and to increase his chances up a notch, I just shared his post on my Facebook wall. Good luck to him.

Wow! This is a welcoming event in the entire history of Blogging. Haha. Two very old blogs ganging up against the up and coming, brand in town, Techpinas.com! Whoah! Can I share this to my friends? Am I just dreaming or what?!!FTW!

I just love smiley faces. *sarcastic* :) :) :) If I remember it right, someone said that “I’ve decided to stop promoting the contest, guys. Let’s see how far my TP friends can take me.” Uhm, ano ba talaga?

To the fans of Yuga, whom I personally call “The Father of Philippine Tech Blogging” (naks), baka you want to support the other Pinoy blogger in this race: that’s TP Founder,

BLOGGER #5: Mark Milan

thanks sa lahat ng magvovote! Thanks Yuga readers!

Dude, can’t you read? This page is a promotion for Blogger # 1: Calvin Lo. Paggawa kay Abe kung friends kayo.

Calvin · 15 years ago

Gee… See the irony here. You think highly of Yugatech yet out of the past 100 posts that he made… Ok let’s make that 200 posts, how many comments have you made? Uhmm… Zero?

TechPinas · 15 years ago

Too busy lang talaga minsan to comment. But I regularly read Yuga. :) I even addressed him that title in a radio interview once. Yuga and I were both from Ateneo so that’s another reason for me to see him as a pioneer.

Tia · 15 years ago

Whoa! I didn’t know that. Now, TechPinas has the audacity to promote himself on this page. TechPinas, here’s my unsolicited advice. Stop messing with Calvin. Ikaw lang napapahiya. I don’t remember any instance that tinira ka ni Calvin in any of his post not unless you’re the ones initiating the issue.

One classic hi-jacking! :)

TechPinas · 15 years ago

I’m just glad Pinoys are on the race! :D

TechPinas · 15 years ago

Look. There’s a smiley. I was being sarcastic. :)
Eh ano naman sakin kung si Abe mismo ang nagprisenta ng idea? Haha.

Calvin · 15 years ago

Mark, galit ka ba or na-aamuse? tigilan mo na pag whine mo, pati yung admin ng contest naiirita na rin eh. basta kanya kanyang strategy remember? as long as hindi nagviviolate sa rules. eh pano kung sinabi ko sayo na si abe mismo nagprisenta netong idea?
