Congrats to the winners of Bariles Republic’s Blogoversary Contest
Congratulations to the winners of Bariles Republic’s 1st Blogoversary Contest. A few could have made it if only they fulfilled the first requirement – SUBSCRIBE first to the blog’s feeds.
At any rate, a giant thank you to all the well-wishers, who made my day and to my generous sponsors – Bob Martin, Blogie Robillo, Jehzeel Laurente, Dennis Paul Custorio, Winston Almendras, Job Oberio,Toto Lozano and Coffee Club 101.
I divided the winners into two groups – One for the bloggers and one for those without blogs.
The winners from the first group and their corresponding prizes are:
- A copy of Virtual Earner Video from Bob Martin goes to Sarangani teacher and MBS2 Convenor Ariel Lalisan of HomeWard Bound who wrote a blog post for me. Ariel always links my posts in his blogs (he has several). This video will come in handy for his economic pursuits.
- A bundled domain with webhosting for a year each to the following from Mindanao Bloggers.Com convenor Oliver “Blogie” Robillo,
- Nate Marx, for his limerick cum poem;

- Mark Aethen, for his historical “backgrounder”.
- One year free Webhosting with 200mb capacity from Toto Lozano goes to two winners:
- Sarah or Rashid’s Mom, for the delightful visayan poem;
- Lyle Santos, who also blogged about Bariles Republic’s blogoversary.
- One year free Webhosting with 200mb capacity from Dennis Paul Custorio for Joana Grace Lapore, for her early (#2) heartfelt wishes. Joana co-hosted the MBS2 magnificently.

And the surprise 10 winners from the 2nd group, a cup of any coffee variant they want from General Santos City’s latest coffee bar, Coffee Club 101:
- Rachel A of GenSan

Belated anniversary greetings to Bariles Republic. Here’s to you, Kuya Avel!
Congratulations too, to the winners of the blogoversary contest. Sayang, been busy with other things, was not able to join. Sa kabilang kamay (on the other hand), buti na rin because I am afraid i would not know what to do with a “bundled domain” had i joined and won, hehehe.
I only have praises for you, Kuya Avel. Keep up the splendid work!

@bariles – Okay. I’ll see you very soon. I have one request, though. We’ll be posting a streamer sa may J. Catolico, pa-help po sana ako. How do we get permits? Thanks.
Thank you very much ulit for the prizes.

Just submit a letter addressed to the mayor detailing your request to the city mayor’s office. Madali lang yan. They will immediately act on it.
