Congratulations to all the winners and kudos to Janette for organizing and making this writing project a huge success. Great job! Looking forward to next year’s writing project.
Btw, I like the comment made by Manuel Viloria:
What’s the lesson here? Build a blog and people will come. If you promote your blog, that is.
Sounds like Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams. Hehe But I do agree with him. “No man is an island” and this is true even with bloggers and blogs. If you want your blog to be successful, you need to reach out to others. And today, this project and these blogs have set a good example for others and for future bloggers out there.
More power to Pinoy bloggers and to the Pinoy Blogosphere! Proud to be Pinoy!

Hello and welcome to JaypeeOnline! My name is Jaypee Habaradas and I'm the author of this blog that talks about the latest blogging news, WordPress theme and plugin reviews, technology, gadgets and tips & tricks.
I agree!
@Aileen - Congratulations!
Credibility is good and Popularity is also good. I am one of the readers of the blogs you mentioned but what I simply care about a particular blogger is when their words mean something to someone - even if it is just one person. I love an interactions into a blog. Mine is a personal blog where I talk about a variety of topics but it gives insight to who I am as a person and I don’t care much about popularity.
Go Pinoys!
@K - Being popular shouldn’t be the main reason for someone to blog. For me, it’s nice to get some attention but it’s just a bonus.
What’s important is that your blog reaches out or helps others. Making a difference in someone else’s life or experience.
That’s a great list. I should drop by Anitokid’s blog and congratulate him.
@Brown Baron - Yeah, these blogs really deserve to be on this list.
“Build a blog and people will come. If you promote your blog, that is.” - Very well said!
@BrownBaron: Thanks friend!
@AnitoKid - I just quoted Manuel Viloria. Btw, congratulations and thanks for the links!
I agree. Attending blogger events helped a lot in attracting more readers for my blog. Bloggers shouldn’t be too shy promoting their blogs!
@Prudence - Good for you bloggers who are in the Philippines coz you get to attend all those blogger-meetups, eyeballs and stuff. It really does give you an opportunity to do offline promotion and also build relationships with other bloggers.
I agree with Prudence… attending can help you gain more regular visitors since they alrealy know you personally..
@melo - Yup, that’s true. Once they know you, you’re no longer just another blog or blogger but someone they know and become a part of their “network”.
Hello Jaypee. Thank you very much for the link love to the project and winning entries.
On another note, the Filipina Writing Project has just started and I hope you can join.
@Janette - Hi! You’re most welcome! I was just doing my best to promote worthy projects especially involving Filipinos and the Pinoy blogosphere.
Thanks for the info. Another good project. I’ll definitely join it and try to post my entry this coming week.
Cool! I wonder when my blog will reach that status, hehehe…anyway…just stumbled on your blog!
@�茹 - With hard work and perseverance you can sooner than you expect it. Thanks for dropping by!
