Congratulations to all the winners and all the bloggers who participated in the contest!  The awarding was done at Coffee Club 101 yesterday afternoon and luckily, despite the heavy rains, four of the winners made it to claim their prizes. (See pix above.)

Mr. Michael Wee, Gensan’s non-paralleil restaurateur and Concert Producer and this blog’s SEO Contest Sponsor were with his staff Marc and Neljo to award the prizes.  Mr. Sonny Sambrio of ABS-CBN Socsargen and his crew were also there to cover the event.

Here is how GenSan News Online Mag came up with the winners.

1. Winners were chosen using the search results for the keyword, “YAMAN GENSAN 2009” on Google Philippines (http://www.google.com.ph) at 12:01am of July 15, 2009.
2. Google Philippines (http://www.google.com.ph)  is the default Google search page when users from the Philippines access Google. Moreover, all Google searches from browser-based (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari) search boxes default to the Google Philippines results.
3. The search engine results rankings were verified twice by four (4) people from two different cities including Bariles to ensure fairness in the results.
Here are the TOP 5 winners:

Please note that Bariles extended the deadline of the contest from the 14th to the 15th because of his TOXIC schedule on the 14th.  This did not however change the rankings of the top placers.  If this however caused discomfort on the part of some quarters, Bariles extends his sincere apologies.

The TOP 5 WINNERS  each received the same prizes:  Two Front Section Tickets worth P1000 to the Side A All Hits Live Concert for tomorrow and a Gift Certificate worth P1000 each from Grab A Crab Restaurant and Coffee Club 101. Top winner Leonard Pe received a voucher for an overnight stay at Tierra Montana Hotel.
The other entries are winners too and did not go home empty-handed for they each received two General Admission Tickets to the concert.  They are DJ Tammy, Jinky Borela, Sheng Dumalay, Vilma and Gay Carillo.
And yes!  As an extra treat, all of these  bloggers will also have a chance to meet the members of Side A Band personally at the Grab-A-Crab Restaurant before noon tomorrow for some photo ops.  Thanks to Mr. Michael Wee for all these freebies!  Mabuhay kayo Sir.
And with that, GenSan News Online Mag would like to stress that the decision of the organizers is final and binding on all aspects of the contest.

Magandang GenSan at maraming salamat sa lahat!  I love you all!  World Peace!!!  🙂 – July 16, 2009
