Year-End Awards of 2013 : The Wazzup Pilipinas Awards


Wazzup Pilipinas!

A year-end award is sacrosanct! It is regarded as extremely sacred and inviolable, and apparently too important and respected to be ignored, changed or even criticized. You should not question its validity. It is a right that it should exist and be put out before the end of the year to honor and pay tribute to the past glorious months that made up the entire year.

We are happy to give these special awards to those that we believe deserve well-deserved praises and special recognition.

2013 was a very meaningful year filled with lots of happenings and breakthroughs, and we are very much thrilled to have been a part of a remarkable year.


10. Zero to Hero - Wazzup Pilipinas was reborn as a personal blog. From being just another promotional kick-off it has turned into a more daring medium of expression.


9. Dot Com Ruler - Wazzup Pilipinas converts from a wazzuppilipinas.blogspot.com to a wazzuppilipinas.com. After six months of just loitering around the Internet, it's time to get a little bit more serious in an effort to better serve the public and look more professional and dignified.

 8. One to Infinite
- Wazzup Pilipinas converts into a community blog. The blog is now open to other correspondents (blogger or non-blogger, students or professionals, pro-writers or newbies, etc.,) who would like to share their experiences as a contributor. It is open for everybody who wants to freely express themselves without fear of too much pride and prejudice.

7. Partner Advocate - Wazzup Pilipinas partners with government agencies like the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).  Blogs have become more user-friendly than the government websites so we aim to to help the government reach more people.

6. Online Media Partner - Wazzup Pilipinas expands and now partners with events, brands, advocacy movements, and other establishments to spread the news and help in the online promotion.

5. Logo Loco - Wazzup Pilipinas incorporates a better logo to make it more recognizable and distinguishable among other blogs.

4. Multimedia Master - Wazzup Pilipinas now includes personalized illustrations and videos in its blogs to cater to the readers whose attention span is too little and would prefer watching the story than reading about it.

3. Brand Ambassador - Wazzup Pilipinas is now the most preferred blog to represent brands and help in disseminating corporate social responsibility and social outreach.


2. Top Emerging Influential Blog of 2013 - Wazzup Pilipinas wins as one of the Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2013 as recognized by DigitalFilipino.com.

1. Most Outstanding Filipino Community Blog of 2013 - Wazzup Pilipinas receives another award from the National Customers' Choice Annual Awards Council as the Most Outstanding Filipino Community Blog of 2013.



I know it may be quite strange to give and receive an award to the very group that you belong in, but who else should love us most but us. I am very proud of Wazzup Pilipinas, though not perfect, but honestly more "real" than all of the other community blogs combined.

We are just thankful that 2013 has been mostly kind to us inspite of a few haters, bashers and trash-talkers who try their best to bring us down but failed to do so. Some people just can't take the heat so they try to burn you as well. They only revealed that they are the real losers.

2014 will hopefully be a better year for Wazzup Pilipinas as we all work our best to achieve greater heights and glory. Long live Wazzup Pilipinas!!!
