    Thank you for supporting us, two years in a row in our desire to honor the best and inspiring OFW blogs and bloggers. In fact, we are more than grateful.

    There were 73 nominated blogs, but only 37 made it to the finals. What an irony, just a scramble of numbers. hehe Hope to see you there Ate Ellen, on the 26th of December at a post-Christmas awarding and celebration of OFW’s and their families, sponsors, bloggers and government agency representatives, NGO’s and media and the government leaders!
