Philippine Blog Awards 2009 for Luzon

Members of the Philippine blogging community convened last October 9, 2009 for the Luzon leg of Philippine Blog Awards (PBA). Held at the PETA Theatre in Quezon City, the event recognized the country's finest blogs and celebrated the continuous growth of local bloggers with the theme "One Blogging Nation."

The PBA 2009, organized by Philippine Bloggers Awards Inc, will also be held in Visayas (2/F Ayala City Sports, Cebu Business Park, Cebu City) and Mindanao (Pearlmont Hotel, Cagayan De Oro City) on October 18 and October 24, respectively. For details, email philippineblogawards@gmail.com or visit www.philippineblogawards.com.ph

Okay tama na english at seryosohan medyo kairita na.

Congrats sa mga finalists at winners!!! Alam niyo na kung sino kayo. UHM. NO. Di ako hard-core blogger. (meh. hard core parang medyo bastos..hihi). Pumunta ako sa PBA kasi curious ako kung masarap ba yung pagkain atsaka alam niyo naman gusto ko talaga manalo ng bagong Nokia phone kasi nawala yung phone ko di ba? sa ano ba mangyayari dun. Bilang isang outsider/observer, napansin ko lang na may mga glitches yung program. Hindi ko alam kung ako lang ba ang nakapansin nito pero medyo magulo kasi siya. Pero tingin ko naman nag-enjoy pa rin yung mga tao at yun ang importante. Sana ma-improve yun Visayas and Mindanao. Peace. Kudos pala sa team nila Juned para sa isang successful na event!

Anyway, here are some photos from the event (uy, english ulit nuxnaman!). Complete photos are uploaded in my Multiply site.
