Philippines may be a third-world country, with a lot of natives going abroad to seek for a greener pasture and where corruption is a common topic in every table. But Filipinos are born with great talents and they can shine anywhere, given the chance.

I do not need to mention the names of Manny Pacquiao and Charice Pempengco, who are now doing very well in their respective fields. But these two are just among the millions of great Filipinos who are doing their best for their country and families.

Filipinos are also known to be sociable and hospitable, and blogging is another field where we can prove that we are. In case some of you are not aware, John Chow is very thankful to the 13-year old Kid Blogger Carl Ocab for saving him through a guest post. But this is not just about him; this post is a salute to all the Filipino bloggers in every corner of the world.

As I traced back as to when blogging started here in the Philippines, I found an article from Manila Bulletin Online entitled How Blogging Started in the Philippines which was published on March 29, 2005. Here, Analyn Jusay learned that the first Filipino blogger is Lauren Dado who has been blogging since 1996. The following year, Analyn pubilshed another article – Revisiting The First Pinoy Blogger this time with an interview with her.

On September 17, 1999, Digital Filipino was created by Ms. Janette Toral to assist people with thier e-commerce needs. Last Nov. 5, 2008, awards were given to top Filipino bloggers according to different categories in which you will find the complete list of winners here. The D Spot won the Personal Blog Category, while Tech at Hand dot Net won the Professional Blog Category.

Furthermore, you can find the complete list of the top 100 Filipino bloggers at Ratified dot Org. This is according to Technorati, Alexa Rank and number of subscribers. If you are a Filipino, you can also submit your blog there.

On the other hand, The Philippine Blog Awards also announced its set of winners for this year 2008 in which the complete list can be found at the Manila Blog Times. Tonyo Cruz whom I met at the recent blog event I attended, banged the The Best News and Media Blog.

The Philippine Blog Awards however, is being organized by Abe Olandres, Gail de la Cruz – Villanueva and Jayvee Fernandez which started in the latter part of 2006.

But I cannot end this post without mentioning some Filipino bloggers who I met online and offline. Some of them may not be on the top list, or has a topic or language that you will not like. But these are real people, sincere with their posts, and write what’s in their hearts.

So, without further ado, here they are in no particular order.
