HomeAmbot-ah wins “Best Travel Blog” at the 2010 Philippine Blog Awards Visayas By Marcos Detourist on December 1, 2010The announcement came during the awarding ceremony of the 2010 Philippine Blog Awards – Visayas leg held last November 27 in The Venue Function Rooms (The Avenue Complex, Smallville, Iloilo City). Thank you to everyone who supported Ambot-ah! Your comments, likes, shares, emails, private messages, and wall posts have helped me significantly to continue blogging about my travels and push myself to go that extra mile. A lot of times during my solo travels, I do have my episodes of feeling lonely but the creeping weariness does not last long because I know there are people out there who care about me and the things I blog about.Congratulations to the other winners of the 2010 Philippine Blog Awards Visayas: Best culture and arts blog: Michael’s Shades of Blue Best food and beverage blog: Flavours of Iloilo Best lifestyle blog: Ilonggos.net Best photo blog: Gerry Ruiz Best tech blog: Tech Source Best personal blog: The Rookie Blogger Next up is the “National Edition” of the 2010 Philippine Blog Awards in Manila.
