My first introduction to the Best Cebu Blogs Awards (BCBA) was back in 2009, when a co-worker was named a Top Ten Winner. I could see how happy and proud that co-worker was when he recounted his win. Seeing their achievement sparked a hidden dream within me to start my own blog. Though I had always wanted to dive into content creation, life took its course, and it wasn’t until 2015 that my official blogging era truly began.
Because of my varied interests and hobbies, locking myself into a single niche was and still is a challenge. Sometimes, because I have too many blogging ideas, I experience a 'tsundoku' effect with my writing. I remember introducing myself to a new class and sharing the various projects I pursue outside of work. One of my trainees asked, "How do you find the energy to do all of those things?" That moment stayed with me. It reminded me that when you genuinely love what you do, your passion and creativity become your ultimate booster.
Over the past eleven years, I’ve had the privilege of being named a BCBA Finalist seven times and taking home the top award twice. Being recognized as a Top Cebu Blogger by an organization that tirelessly advocates for responsible blogging and creative integrity means the world to me. Today, as BCBA celebrates its 19th anniversary, I am deeply honored and grateful to stand alongside four outstanding creators as a finalist in the 2026 Best Cebu Personal Blog category.
Cebu itself has been the true anchor of my content creation journey. Had I been living anywhere else, the prospect of blogging might have felt overwhelming—but Cebu is simply built different. It’s in the warm community I’ve built over the years and the rich Cebuano culture that continually pours value into my work. The ability to share my thoughts, knowledge, and ideas while making a meaningful impact is what drives me to grow every single day.
I am profoundly grateful that the Best Cebu Blogs Awards remain a beacon of light for local creatives. Whether you were born in Cebu or chose to make it your home, if you carry a passion for championing this society, there is a place for you to shine among the best of the best.
The official gala and announcement of winners for the 19th Best Cebu Blogs Awards will be held on November 23 at Bai Hotel Cebu, one of the event's co-sponsors. Bai Hotel is a contemporary, chic business hotel and culinary destination.
