I submitted Bariles Republic last April 2008 under the category RECREATION/TRAVEL and did not notice until recently that of all the blogs from the Philippines, mine got the highest rating at 8.8! The next blog trails it at 8.5. This is out of 18 blogs on the Recreation Category reviewed by the site owner.

Wow! I must really be doing something good to deserve this! Yipeeeee!!!!!
