<hr />
In blogging, what does it take to be the best? For me, to be the best, one does not aspire to be the best. For in trying to be the best, one may start to think more of one's self than others or ones readers, followers or community. And when that happens, there is now the temptation to manipulate Klout scores or other measures of influence. One might resort to artificially create followers, and likes.<br />
<br />
What makes a blogger the best? It's not the number of events one attends, or the number of celebrities one meets, or the Ad revenues or the number of sponsors he or she has.<br />
<br />
All of the above will just follow when you create useful content - content that comes from your passion to inform, to advocate, to educate your readers. After all, content is still king. One good example is Ms. Nancy Cudis of the Cebu Bloggers Society. She is passionate in sharing to others her advocacy in bookreading and her thoughts on books that she reads, without any award in mind. And look at her -- she is multi awarded.<br />
<br />
Indeed to be the best, one has to be passionate with his or her blogging. If self and money is your main driving force, content becomes artificial and your blog will be forgotten. But with passion, comes sincerity and that sincerty will be reflected in your content. The likes, readers and invites will just come. For some, even the money. <br />
<br />
Someone once said passion in blogging fades. I beg to disagree, for if it wanes then it's not real passion.<br />
<br />
I know every awardee here tonight has the passion and that is why you are here tonight. You are the best in your niche. But to remain being the best, one has to be professional and not let awards like this allow to inflate your head. Let this award be an inspiration instead for you to continue to be passionate and to continue to be professional. <br />
<br />
To be professional, one maintains a good relationship with bloggers and never takes advantage of them. One learns to look back and be grateful to those who helped him or her in blogging.<br />
<br />
Simply put, to be the best, be sincere. Be yourself and think more of others when you blog. Congratulations to all the awardees and good evening.<br />
<br />

Globe extends smartphone ownership to prepaid customers with GoGadgets

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Prepaid customers can now purchase discounted devices and get their money back via GCash with every promo registration </i></div>
<br />
In another pioneering move, <a href="http://www.bestcebublogsawards.com/search/label/Globe%20Telecom" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Globe Telecom </a>is boosting smartphone penetration in the country with an innovative offer that allows prepaid customers to avail of discounted devices and get rebates with GoGadgets.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nqM_7L9NFio/VHy0N8_vyZI/AAAAAAAALh0/fflmBM9iBSM/s1600/Poster-GoGadget_edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nqM_7L9NFio/VHy0N8_vyZI/AAAAAAAALh0/fflmBM9iBSM/s1600/Poster-GoGadget_edit.jpg" width="506" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
GoGadgets is the first-of-its-kind prepaid service that allows customers to create their own prepaid bundle by choosing a gadget from a menu of discounted Android phones ranging from as low as P2,699 to P7,899. <br />
<br />
To complete their prepaid bundle, customers just need to choose their promo combo (texts to all networks or unlimited calls), the validity period of the promo (7, 15 or 30 days) and the registration period (6, 12, 18 or 24 months), with no need to submit any requirements. Customers can earn their money back via GCash every time they register to any GoGadgets promo, which allows them to get their devices almost free.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MN1YE8DW8_Q/VHy0Wg9jxsI/AAAAAAAALh8/ZO4t70SpVGw/s1600/Samsung-Galaxy-Trend-Lite.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MN1YE8DW8_Q/VHy0Wg9jxsI/AAAAAAAALh8/ZO4t70SpVGw/s1600/Samsung-Galaxy-Trend-Lite.png" width="488" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Devices that can be availed from GoGadgets include CloudFone Excite 400dx, a smartphone that comes with interchangeable batteries and has 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal storage and long-lasting battery which can last up to 1 day of heavy use and 2-3 days on regular usage and Samsung Trend Lite which sports 4-inch screen powered by 1GHz processor and 3-megapixel rear camera.<br />
<br />
 “We continue to provide game-changing experiences to our customers through the introduction of innovative and first-in-market products and services. With GoGadgets, prepaid customers get the latest devices and get their money back while enjoying the flexibility of prepaid promos, enabling them to fully enjoy their digital lifestyle,” says Issa Cabreira, Senior Vice President, Globe Consumer Mobile Marketing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IunLJKokdwA/VHy0h9aLXqI/AAAAAAAALiE/ntarUva60YQ/s1600/cloudfone-excite-400dx.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IunLJKokdwA/VHy0h9aLXqI/AAAAAAAALiE/ntarUva60YQ/s1600/cloudfone-excite-400dx.png" width="348" /></a></div>
<br />
GoGadgets comes on the heels of another pioneering innovation from Globe Prepaid, GoSAKTO. When it was first launched in 2013, GoSAKTO offered its prepaid customers the ability to create their own promo, allowing them to choose the kind and amount of calls, texts, and data they need for the validity they want. With the improved GoSAKTO launched in June this year, subscribers can now add apps and sites like Facebook, Instagram, Viber, and YouTube to their promo, letting customers create over 200 million different call, text and app combos. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Globe Prepaid customers can register by dialing *143#, choosing GoSakto and selecting Choose a gadget.</b></span><br />
<br />
GoGadgets is already available in select Metro Manila Globe Stores (Glorietta, Market! Market!, Robinson’s Manila, SM Aura, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM Southmall, and Trinoma) and in select provincial Globe Stores in Luzon (San Fernando La Union, SM Calamba, SM Olongapo, LCC Iriga, and Central Mall Cavite) and Visayas (Robinson’s Tacloban, Boracay, and Gaisano Island City Mall Bohol).<br />
