10 new blogs worth checking out
The much-anticipated annual exercise initiated by Janette Toral in 2007 is now upon us once more, and the blogosphere is again abuzz with bloggers and their top 10 offerings. Each year, the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs writing project catapults into fame new blogs that have a great potential to influence thought and opinion in the blogosphere and beyond.
And so, in an attempt to contribute to this worthy endeavor, here are my top 10 choice picks (not listed in any order). According to the rules, these are blogs that were created on or after 1 May 2008.
- A Photographic Saga: Photography and Lifestyle
- Leonard Pe is an accomplished photographer, and this blog is his expression. He definitely has an eye for composition, and everything else that comes naturally to talented photographers. His blog is certainly one that can become an inspiration to other photographers.
- Batang Lakwatsero
- The Batang Yagit recounts experiences of his travels in this new blog. Winston, although he professes to be from very modest roots, is destined to go places, so I think his new blog will be an interesting read now and in the future.
- RP Elections 2010 – The Election Watchblog
- A community blog, RP2010.com hopes to deliver timely news and opinion regarding the upcoming electoral exercise in the Philippines this May 2010, and thus become a useful resource for Filipino voters.
- Regnard Raquedan: Self-Titled
- This self-titled personal blog is owned by Regnard Raquedan, a Web & Usability consultant. Think UX — user experience for websites, that’s Regnard’s domain.
- The Thirsty Blogger
- I love this food blog’s name! And I love the fact that it focuses on drinks in particular. I hope this blog will gain more popularity in the coming months! (There’s another blog whose name I also admire: A Scientist in the Kitchen. Too bad, though, because that blog was started in 2007, so I can’t nominate it here any longer.)
- Patay Gutom
- It seems foodie bloggers have a penchant for coming up with catchy blog titles, and Patay Gutom tops ‘em all! A group effort, it’s not far-fetched to think that this blog will go far indeed (what with the appetites of the member bloggers).
- Father Blogger Dot Com
- It’s refreshing to see a personal blog written from the point of view of a father. For some reason, there’s a dearth of such blogs… I’m sure Father Blogger will become a helpful resource for fathers and would-be fathers.
- Let’s Go Sago!
- Let’s Go Sago! is a travel blog, and a personal journal of an adventurer. The blogger relates his travel experiences, as well as his excursions into various cuisines.
- New Media Philippines
- A marketer’s blog, I think New Media Philippines has the potential to provide invaluable knowledge to those in the marketing arena, as well as to businessmen who would like to be kept abreast of this field of expertise.
- Video Chops
- This is a new vlog that’s fast gaining popularity. Originally intended as a repository of the vlogger’s unused video clips and footages, the site is now offering a broader coverage: happenings, opinion, and Pinoy virals.
That’s it! I hope my selections make it to the final Top 10!

Congrats to all your nominees. Sayang I did not made it in your list. :)
Wala na ako gaanong blogs na nababasa ngayon eh. Not much sa mga emerging influential.
I’ll be reading blogs when I get home (mamaya na yun). Sana makahanap ako ng 10 blogs.
Salamat!
I know only three among the nominees. But that’s not so bad. Pinoy blogosphere is getting bigger by the day after all.
Congratulations to your nominees! “,)
