Vote for Filipino Librarian
at the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards

This blog is a finalist at the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards. It's up for a special award for "Best Filipiniana Blog," as well as a sponsor award for "Chikka Media and PBA Readers’ Choice – Luzon." The former recognizes "the blog that has focused and consistently blogged about the Philippines whether it be social, political, historical and cultural. Everything Filipino: Everything Filipiniana," which is pretty much what this blog has been all about from the beginning, especially the posts on Filipiniana Online. The reason for this blog's inclusion in the latter category, however, is not so clear. In any case, it would be nice—and perhaps appropriate?—if the blog Filipino Librarian emerged as the reader's choice =)

And so, assuming that you'll be voting for this blog because you're reading this now, you have three options:

  1. Vote online by selecting the blog of your choice (hint: its initials are FL), providing your name and email address on or before 3 October 2009, 10 am. It's not clear if the deadline is tied to Manila time, but I would recommend that my friends in North America vote NOW or before 2 October, 10 pm =)
  2. Send "CHIKKARC L3" as a text message to 2929 (presumably only for those with Philippine prepaid or postpaid plans). You can vote until 7 October 2009. Note that each text message will cost P2.50 and is equivalent to TWO votes.
  3. Do both.
I have no idea whether any cash prizes will be given away, but if this blog wins in either category, I promise to donate any cash award in full to one of the funds set up for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy. And don't worry, I have a track record when it comes to keeping my promise to give money away (see "Katas ng 'Kapamilya Deal or No Deal'").
