Few months ago, I asked fellow Pinoy Travel Bloggers to participate in 2013 Philippines Top Travel Bloggers Poll. I thought only a few will participate, thus the result is overwhelming. Forty Four (44) Travel Bloggers initially participated in the poll and their nominations tallied to 110 travel blogs and gathered a total of 588 votes.
Philippines Top 15 Travel Blogs
Each travel blogger’s vote was counted. Some of them just listed their favorite Pinoy Travel Blogs, while some also pointed out the reasons why they voted for a specific blogger. From the original 44 entries, 4 blogs went offline during the time of the tabulation and some just voted 10 and 14 instead of 15 favorite travel blogs.
Why do we have 21 blogs on the list instead of 15?
Four blogs shared the 4th and 14th spot and we really cant think of a better way to break the tie.
So here’s the Final list of Philippines Top 15 Travel Blogs for 2013:
