Globe Tatt Awards 2012 : Nominate your Favorite Internet Rockstars Now!
One of my proudest moments as a blogger, thus far, was being named 'Tech Junkie' in the first ever Globe Tatt Awards held last year.
Filipino Freethinkers bagged 2011 The One Award; Laureen Uy was named Stylisimo; 'Professional Heckler' Loi Reyes Landicho for Word Slayer; TV host-columnist Bianca Gonzales was voted by her followers as the #1 Thoughtmover; Mikey Bustos for the Video Slinger award; Up Dharma Down for Indie Rocker; Elizabeth Angsioco for the Advocate; Jin Joson for the Artiste; Mark Macanas of TechPinas for Tech Junkie; and the Philippines' Pride, Lea Salonga for the Ball Breaker award.

This honor is important to me not just because it recognized all the hard work that I put into this craft but also - and more importantly - because I couldn't have gotten it if it wasn't for the support of the whole TechPinas Community. I always say that the opportunity to publicly share my thoughts about technology, gadgets and social media via TechPinas in itself is already a blessing but to have loyal readers and friends who are willing to go all out in supporting me - in any endeavor - is a precious gift. To this day, my heart is still filled with gratitude for all TP Friends who voted for me then and who continue to support TechPinas.
Globe Tatt Awards 2012
This year, Tattoo - the #1 broadband in the Philippines - continues its trailblazing recognition of social media celebrities and influencers with the prestigious Tatt Awards, the first-ever awards platform for online personalities who have inspired, led, influenced and sparked changes in the world in a positive way.

"This year’s Tatt awards will honor a new batch of digital rockers," shares Dong Ronquillo, Head of the Tattoo Nomadic Broadband Business. He adds, "What sets Tatt awards from other web-centric awards is that we look beyond mere statistics and acknowledge individuals who have expressed an opinion, created inspiring works or ignited social change. This is not a mere popularity contest but a recognition of people who used the social media space to share what they are most passionate about and, in the process, created positive influence and stirred action among people."

"The Tatt Awards is our venue for recognizing digital rockers who, through passion and individuality, have created a space that is uniquely theirs, but sincerely shared with others."
