Yugatech on Pilipinas, Game ka na ba?

Ok, this was told me by surprise when Anton passed by my pad this evening. He said he saw on TV, Pilipinas, Game ka na ba?, that my blog was part of their trivia questions.

The question goes like (and I’m translating it liberally) “According to Alexa, this is the most popular blog in the Philippines. It starts with letter y——-.”

But where did they get that info? Alexa is unreliable at the very least. So, I dug a little deeper and found this:

Alexa

I’m sure the contestant/s weren’t able to guess it correctly. Yugatech? Who, what??

Oh, no, I’m not that popular with the masses. Or maybe I should start blogging about celebrities and showbiz gossips?

Wow! You’re even more popular than DIGG here! :P Perhaps someone on the Game Ka Na Ba? staff is an avid reader.

at least, you can proudly say kris aquino mentioned you in her gameshow. now maybe a Game Ka Na Ba episode with pinoy bloggers would be nice. I would like to see Abe, JV, Migs and some others go head on head for some favorite tech charity. Hehe.

Kudos! Maybe this mention by Kris should really awaken the Pinoys to what blogs and blogging is.

Yeah let’s have a bloggers’ gameshow!

Preferably not one that requires us to be locked up in the “big brother house.”

I guess you are really that popular. Another blogger send me a survey form to find out the most popular IT blogger in the Philippines today. She however indicated that you should not be included in the list anymore, because it is pretty obvious that you are the most popular.

So, congratulations!
