My Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2014

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Blogging has become really influential that many brands and organizations have been engaging bloggers to run campaigns to promote their products, services or advocacy. Aside from sharing personal ideas, thoughts, revelations, realizations and awakenings, blogging has turned into a promotional tool to spread news about almost everything.

This can be attributed to the popularity of smartphones with Internet access which also eventually led to the creation of useful and entertaining mobile apps that somehow are already changing our lifestyle. This gave opportunity to startups to develop apps that are now reshaping e-commerce and the way we do business and even leisure.

There has been blogs coming out with significant and relevant content that are both entertaining and informative, as well as useful and reliable. They are slowly becoming a source of readers who are looking to be informed and educated. While some were created to simply provide an outlet for the author to express himself, many are online to serve as an alternative means of earning.

There are several blogs out there that are emerging to be influential for many so this is the time we recognize them. Please just bear in mind that we got the list from the ones submitted for consideration. Although there are probably a lot more deserving blogs out there, we just do not have the capability to inspect each one of them since there is a requirement that the blogs must be fairly new. Only blogs created anytime from August 1, 2013 to the present are qualified to be cited.

Here are my top ten emerging influential blogs of 2014:

PreWreck: Retake the Mental Breakdown

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The UPLB Com Arts Society’s PreWreck: Retake the Mental Breakdown is all set to bring back the crash course benefit party to the Los Baños scene on September 18, 2014, 9PM at Java Avenue, Los Baños.

This year, proceeds of PreWreck: Retake the Mental Breakdown will be funding the scholarship of a BA Communication Arts freshman student and will also be donated to the treatment of Rav De Castro, a UPLB Com Arts Society alumnus, who is the only documented case of Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in the Philippines.

Following the success of PreWreck: Drop Beats, Not Subjects in 2013 with over 600 in attendance, this year’s party returns with signature fun games and free-flowing drinks. The venue is divided into different drinking game stations with various challenges and witty prizes.

Last year’s chosen beneficiary was Limao Elementary School in Biñan, Laguna, where The UPLB Com Arts Society held a storytelling session and learning activities for the school’s Grade 1 and 2 pupils. Proceeds of PreWreck were also donated in the form of books and toys for the children.
