MM you don’t need an award. Your site’s 4 years of happy existence is proof enough that your readers respect and admire you, and are totally educated and entertained by this blog. It has also brought together genuine foodies from all over the globe connected by the universal love for food and enlightening exchange of thoughts. Lex and deirdregurl are right, the way you respond to us makes us feel as if we also are a valued part of your blog. Your site is really something else as it not only entices me to read your new posts but also look forward to reading the comments of the delightful apicio, lee, bettyq, sister, millet and all other readers who give their honest, from-the-heart comments.
Congratulations!

Market Manila gets my vote.

Voting is too complicated. When is the deadline?

May I suggest to more recent visitors with time on their hands to review the Market Manila archives. Lots of delightful posts and guarantees an incomparable vantage point from which to take in the sweep of consistent quality and tone Marketman has maintained from day one (September 2004 was his initial post). Yes on rare occasions he vents vein bursting rants of the how can you soar with eagles when youâ€™re surrounded with turkeys frustration but on the whole it has been four years of bracing curiosity and deep, quiet urbane sophistication, something sadly, our time and country seem to be only rarely capable of producing.

Full disclosure, an avid fan since June 2005. â€œBlogueurâ€ who shall remain nameless has been pretty consistent too, I noticed.

MM,my sister recommended this website to me last May and since then I frequent your posts. I find it very interesting and I continue to learn a lot from you (the expert) on things which I don’t really know anything about like your posts on Flowers and Produce. I wish you all the best in your nomination. God bless and may He prosper your work even more!

I checked the voting procedure. It sounds so complicated. Anyway, I think yours is the best blog around. I admire your patience in responding to many of the comments. I am disappointed in other blogs that just post and do not bother to respond to comments and suggestions, like why bother…… Yours is what a real blog is all about. It makes us readers feel that there is a real person behind the discussions. I wish you all the best and may you best other blogs again. Keep up the good work even if you have made many of us to gain weight just reading and testing your delicious recipes.

Sponsor linking is now optional :)

https://www.philippineblogawards.com.ph/2008/09/11/more-on-the-bloggers-choice-mechanics/

After writing your BLOGGER CHOICE nomination post, it is completely optional if you wish to post the links of the sponsors using the generated form. You may also wish to use a rel=”nofollow” tag as well. Afterward, please submit the entry to the designated form.

We need you to post the nominations on your blog because it is the easiest way to track and confirm if the vote comes from a bona fide blogger – whether the blog is self-hosted or hosted on services like Blogspot, Multiply, etc.

Sincerely,

The PBA 2008 Team
