MANILA FOODISTAS, a food blog by eight University of the Philippines students, was named last night as 2008’s top emerging influential blog.
Other winners in the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2008 project are Filipino Voices, a group blog on news and politics; Visit Sagada, a travel blog; Missing Carlo, a sister’s tribute to her brother who has autism; Mar Roxas 2010, a campaign site for Liberal Party Sen. Mar Roxas;
You Got Tech, a technology blog for non-techies; The Talented DJ Montano, an Australian’s controversial blog about his ex-lover; food blog Davao Delicious, which tied with Music Picks by a Music Lover Blogger in the eight place; Bariles Republic, a guide to General Santos City and personal blog Fritzified; and Bloggers Da Who, a blind item blog about bloggers.
This year's most influential bloggers with project organizer Janette Toral.
“I’m happy coz people recognized and appreciate our initiatives for the non-techies,” said Aileen Apolo, lead blogger of You Got Tech and one of last year’s top emerging influential bloggers. “After all there are more non-techie people than techies,” she added.
Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2008 is a writing project organized by Janette Toral of Digital Filipino. The project aims to identify “new and emerging blogs that are making an impact to its readers in 2008,” Ms Toral wrote on the project’s official site.
The winners, who were chosen by bloggers who participated in the project, were announced last night during an eyeball at the The Legend Villas in Mandaluyong City.
Manila Blog Times got the list of winners from the blogs of AJ Matela, owner of Bloggers Da Who, and Jehzeel Laurente of Jehzlau Concepts.

Hi,
I recently created a healthy recipe blog. As of now I have about 50 recipes and will continue to add 4 or 5 recipes weekly. My recipes are some new creations and some old favorite recipes with a healthy twist. I hope to promote healthy eating and a healthier lifestyle which I think is now becoming a trend.
Check it out!
