Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs – Philippines
.gif)
Emerging - adj. Newly formed or just coming into prominence;
Influential - n. One that is of considerable importance or influence;
From these two words alone, you can clearly see that BlogDeManila’s (BDM) 2009 Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in the Philippines will not only dominate the blogoshere community but whose opinions and actions will strongly influence the geography of bloggers.
Yes, these bloggers are making waves and shaking the industry. They move and arouse the public feeling.
Here is BDM picks for Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs 2009
- The Struggling Blogger
- I Love Hate/America
- Writing To Exhale
- Zorlone
- Father Blogger
- Tales From The Mom Side
- Social Media Philippines
- Home Buddies
- Dear Bloggery
- Adaphobic
- The father of 16 blogs and counting! A loving father cum mother to his 3 children whose “influence” brought him to various television appearances. I’ m one of those who voted for him to win a contest for a free webhost way back in December 2008 and he won the first prize! I hope and pray that he will win again this time.
- Not just a simple blogger but a fighter! Her posts will surely keep you glued to your seat. Controversies, intrigues? Yes, her blog is full of them. She almost quit blogging but because of her fighting and never-say-die attitude, instead of quitting she opened another blog.
- If writing is God’s given talent then this blogger is one those whose blessings is overflowing. If you let me define the word “Influence” as charisma, that’s what Jan has. He can sway you with his use of words alone. And this is his strong point. Hey Jan, can you share your talents? Please!
- A student of Shakespeare who has the power to swing you in melody of his poetry. A doctor of medicine in real life whose specialty is Internal Medicine. His blog’s name is actually an anagram of his name. Can you guess it?
- Who would have thought that a self-made street child is now making his presence known in blogosphere? His influence even gave him the opportunity to be featured in Manila Bulletin, one of the biggest newspaper in the Philippines. You can still read the online version of his interview at http://mb.com.ph/articles/202187/a-fathers-parenting-blog.
- A romantic wife to her awesome tech-wiz husband whom she’d met since 2nd grade and a mom to her 10-year old boy. Just like any mom’s blog that started from writing post about mom, her influence in blogging is starting to show by just checking the various subjects she’s writing – from environment, real estate, gadgets, environment and even tips on how to get traffic in blogging! Do you want to know more about her? Check her personality test here.
- Do you want to be a serious blogger? I mean to be someone with authority? If you don’t know where to start and get the resources, there’s no need to fret. Social Media Philippines is a resource hub for social media tips, strategies and tools for individuals, organizations and business. This blog is being managed by my “Cabalen” Rob Angeles with the help of Abbey Yap.
-A total stranger until she started to pour comments on BDM. A very nice lady who is very supportive to her BF (or hunny?). You’ve got to visit her blog in order to appreciate her perspective about life and struggles into keeping fit while being a mom to her hyper tot.
- Have you seen a sparkling snow? That’s what Snow is to her friends. Her blog which is a mixed reviews of celebrity news, sports, current events and being a mom is currently holding the 64th slot among the top 100 blogs of Ratified.org.
- If you are looking for a PR girl and a photographer at the same time to cover your events, then look no farther. Our nominee no. 10 has all the talents that I’ve just mentioned. She likes attending events like press conferences, product launches, exhibits, food events and whatever events happening in town with her ever-ready camera on hand.
This writing project will not be possible without the support of sponsors such as Absolute Traders, My Brute Cheats, Business Summaries, Fitness Advantage Club, Events and Corporate Video, http://www.eventsatwork.com/, Dominguez Marketing Communications, Red Mobile, Budget hotel in Makati, and Blog4Reviews.com.
So there you go. I won’t mind at all if these blogger-superstars will forget to mention my name during the awarding nights. They all richly deserve the spotlight!
Hi Eric! Thank you much for including Social Media Philippines in your list. I truly appreciate the gesture and would like to thank you for your trust and confidence in our site. We’ll do our best to give our reader more valuable posts.
I’m actually considering your blog as the “master’s chest”, you’ve got a lot of gems there.
pareng eric, just in case you don’t know yet, Rob Angeles is also a Cabalen… he is from Angeles City, although he is overseas right now.
and so is Jena who commented below
hello Eric,
Good votes, I should have come here earlier para naman kahit papaano, you might have considered my blog.
Anyway, good luck to all.
Jena, wait for my email.
Wrong grammar pa ako sa first comment ko ano? (Sa sama ng loob?) he he he…I’m just kidding Eric. I’m happy with your choices. Ikaw na ang bahalang mag-check kung ano ang mali na iyon. All the best.
huwak na sama ng loob…babawi ako sa iyo.
You’ll have to sumbit to Janette Toral’s comment section the URL of this post though Eric, so that your votes would become valid and counted.
I already posted the URL last night (hmmm..kaninang madaling araw pala), it’s already showing on her “link to this post” but not yet on the comment section. Baka minomoderate pal.
Hi Eric,

Dee, mejo boring kasi kung list lang… kaya kahit konting kwento ginawa ko… hirap gumawa kasi more than 10 ang choices ko…tsk..tsk..
Good morning, Eric. Thanks a lot for giving recognition to a 7-month old blog. This means a lot to me as a person and as blogger.
Life is too short to spend it all on negativity. I’d rather learn from and connect with people. This is what drives me.
Thanks once again. And congratulations to fellow nominees.
you’re very much welcome, Jan, you’re absolute right. we should always be optimistic in life.
Carpe diem!!!
