PEBA 2011 to Honor Homecoming Heroes



News from the ABSCBN News



Contest for OFW bloggers launched

Posted at 10/11/2011 9:06 AM | Updated as of 10/11/2011 9:06 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Filipino bloggers from all over the world are invited to participate in the 2011 Pinoy Expats/ OFW Blog Awards (PEBA).
Interested Filipino expats and OFWs are asked to submit blog entries on this year's theme is "Ako'y Magbabalik, Hatid Ko'y Pagbabago" (I Will Return, I Will Bring Change.)


Organizers said the contest will look into how returning Filipino expats and OFWs make use and share "social remittance" or their talents and skills to bring change to their families, communities and country.  Social remittance is defined by PEBA as ideas and practices that are brought from an overseas country to the Philippines.


To qualify for the contest, the blog must be managed by an OFW, Filipino expat or half-Filipino who is living temporarily or permanently in a country other than the Philippines.


The PEBA is also introducing a new blog search called "Any Blogger, Anywhere" for Filipinos, whether based in the Philippines or abroad, who write about different topics such as politics, health well-being, finance and travel.

PEBA is a non-profit, non-stock organization of international Filipino bloggers from different parts of the world.







News from the Philippine Star:


Int'l Blog Awards to honor homecoming of Pinoys worldwide
Home Updated October 11, 2011 05:14 PM 0 comment to this post 
Pinoy Expats OFW Blog Awards (PEBA), Inc., an international alliance of Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and Pinoy Expatriate Bloggers will put to center stage the return of Philippines modern-day heroes as PEBA 2011 celebrates the “homecoming” of OFWs and Filipino Expatriates.  Joining this year’s celebration are Ayala Malls, Nokia and Globe Telecoms.

PEBA is on its fourth year of recognizing blogs written from all over the world by Filipino workers and expatriates.  This year is unique from the previous awards night as it will also honor the talent of Filipinos abroad in the field of photography.


“We wanted to bring a message to the world that despite the hardship experienced by our fellow Filipinos working or residing abroad, we continuously think of returning to the Philippines with honor and our dignity intact.” according to Mr. Segre, Director of Global Affairs.  The focus this year is to promote the beauty of the Philippines and declare that OFWs and Filipino expatriates are returning home to effect positives changes learned from their respective host countries.  The theme, "Ako’y Magbabalik, Hatid Ko’y Pagbabago" (I Will Return, I Will Bring Change) brings to life the aspiration of Filipino workers abroad.


PEBA is going back to the basic; it will bring the advocacy to a wider audience by increasing PEBA’s visibility in the shopping malls. We want to come closer to the hearts of Filipino people, including to those who do not blog, to the mall-going Filipinos and help us campaign for change and support the blogging Filipinos abroad.

We would like to promote the importance of blogging because it enable and empower Filipinos in various parts of the world, encouraging them to express their thoughts, ideas and share their individual experiences.

The PEBA 2011 awards night will be held in Trinoma Activity Center on Dec. 9, 2011 at 5pm.  The winning entries of PEBA 2011 Photo Contest will be exhibited in Market Market Mall and will be attended by OFW advocates in the government, diplomatic corps and NGOs.

Ang TEMA ng PEBA - Expounded

You are seeing an elegant and beautifully poise promotional logo for PEBA courtesy of Nebz, free for grab from his blogsite. Thank you po so much Nebz!

Ang TEMA ng PEBA - Expounded

"Filipinos Abroad - Hope of the Nation, Gift to the World."

Or

“Pinoy Expats/OFW – Pag-asa ng Bayan, Handog sa Mundo.”


Natatawa ako kasi sa lahat kaming mga members ng Core Group ng PEBA,
ako lang yata ang nagtatagalog ng post. I’ve lost so much traffic
since I started a Taglish post, from monthly hits of 3,000 nasa less
than 1,000 hits na lang. Pero it’s not the traffic that is more
important to me now. Thoughtskoto may not be widely searched in Google,
but I wanted to make myself clear, I will sacrifice my traffic hits
just so I will be understood and so that I can express myself better,
clearer and understandable. I don’t believe that English posts are
nosebleed to Pinoys especially bloggers.

If you are articulate and
inspiring; if you are encouraging and informative; if you are witty
and yet making sense; people will definitely read your posts whether in English
or in our native language.
Filipinos are known to be very good in
English, wise, educated, and yes, bright and smart.


Ang pinakatema ng contest this year is all about HOPE. PAG-ASA. There
are times I am so sick and tired in watching news back home, and there
are times that I ask myself, may pag-asa pa kaya ang Pilipinas? Kahit
anong bansa dito sa mundo na corrupt, hindi na yata umunlad di ba?

Sinamahan pa ng economic downturn na tuluyang nagpalala ng sitwasyon.
What happens in the USA swings back and forth in every direction and hits
every stock markets and economies of the world.


Hope of the Nation

Ang mga Expats and OFW, “with their talents, means, resources and
their blogs will serve as voices and beacons of hope”
With 12 Million
OFW’s in over 182 countries and islands around the world, and with an
estimated minimum annual remittance to the Philippines of
736,000,000,000.00, (P736 Billion) OFWs are bearers of

hope to a country so troubled yet beloved.


Thus, Filipinos abroad are hope for the Philippines – they keep the
Philippine economy afloat with the dollar influx, they feed millions
of families, send kids to good schools, engaged in some livelihood
businesses, helping create more jobs and generate activities of worthy
cause. I can expound it deeper and further, but suffice it to say,
OFW’s are the new heroes and hope of our society. If you are not
convinced that you are for our country, at least you are, to your love
ones left behind.


I’ve read the comment of a visitor in
The Pope, Palipasan blog in
support of PEBA. He said; “I am an OFW son. Nakikita ko kung paano
nag-titiis si tatay to give us good life. Count me in. Suportahan
natin yan!.”

At si Tambay, hari daw siya ng sablay says “Naging interesado ako sa event na ito dahil ang aking erpats at iba pang mga kamag-anak ay nasa ibang bansa.
Nagpapakahirap. Nagpapakasakit.”

Count them twice or thrice and multiply to 12M, you will get an idea
how many millions of OFWs family members look up to them. It is the same reason for which we choose HOPE as a theme. OFW’s are real heroes and heroines, alive and
breathing and its time to stand hand in hand with head held high and
be heard, be counted. Kapit-kamay!

Gift to the World

You must have known or come across a Filipina Chef in the White House? Do you know
that Filipinos are the 2nd highest paid professionals in America? Do you know
that Filipino seamen are the best and most hardworking sailors of the world’s oceans and seas? Do you know that Filipino nurses and caregivers are the most nurturing and
compassionate health workers? Do you know that there are

more than 4 million Filipinos in the USA? That there are more than 2
million in Saudi Arabia and hundreds of thousands more in the Gulf countries and
considered as the highest paid-most trusted-accountants, engineers,

technicians, office staff and skilled workers? Do you know that
Filipinos are great examples to the people of Europe? Ask Francesca.
Everywhere you go, Filipinos shine forth as dedicated, hardworking and
fun loving people. Anywhere, when a Filipino touches a caliper, a keyboard, a syringe, a microphone, a machine, oil, water, earth, stone and fire, beauty and magnificence is created. Knowledge and creativity naturally and freely flows. Thus, producing result not only to the economy where an OFW works but also lifts a cheerful spirit, comfort and joy to loved ones back home.

TOP 10 PINOY EXPATS-OFW BLOG AWARDS LAUNCHED!

Blog release of the Global Launching of the search for Top 10 PEBA.

Any successful endeavor is worth repeating and much more sustained. Especially when it touches and inspires the lives of the people for whom it dedicate its toils, pain, and achievements. Such are the motivations for which the 2009 Top 10 Pinoy Expat/OFW Blog Award (PEBA) is once again being launched online. Wikipediamention of PEBA here.

In its second year, PEBA will recognize Pinoy Expats and OFWs bloggers making a difference in their lives, workplace, community, the Philippines and the world in general.

This year the theme is

“Filipinos Abroad – Hope of the Nation, Gift to the World”.

Cognizant and directly affected by the brunt of global financial crisis, Filipinos continue to anchor their hope and trust to their family members abroad as herald of better news and good tidings. Thus, reinforcing the OFWs and Filipino expats role and image as new heroes and saviors.

PEBA also recognizes that Filipinos wherever they are, be it land-based, sea-based or air-based as the case maybe, are shining examples of dedication, diligence, and excellence in almost anything they do. It is not uncommon for them to be praised as assets to companies and organizations contributing to the social and economic well being of their host country. PEBA considers the more than 12m overseas Filipinos scattered abroad as gifts to make this world a better place to live.

The award which started last year had a very simple objective. It was created to award bloggers who infuses enthusiasm and inspiration for others to do good and be hopeful in this world of hopelessness. Filipino expats and OFWs with their talents, means, resources and blogs unfailingly served as voice and beacon of hope. Ten top bloggers were identified from around the globe such as theAmericas, Europe, Africa and Middle East, and Asia and the Pacific, who, up until these days continue to blog and their commitment re-ignited in contributing change through their own little ways.

So for this year with the valuable help of numerous individuals from around the globe, the search is on again. Filipino bloggers and netizens are invited to recognize Pinoy Expats/OFW who tireless blog in making the blogosphere a better space and place for exchange, discussion, and service of the Filipinos and the citizens of the world alike. It is worth knowing and learning those stories of Filipinos overcoming difficulties and challenges. Although it is a reality that not everyone is successful but still their stories are way for others to gain insight from their life lessons and experiences.

From May to October 2009 any Filipino blogger can nominate or be nominated except for last year’s top 10 PEBA awardees. Guidelines are available from its official blogsite (click here). By December 2009 winners will be announced in a public event in the Philippines whose details are still being prepared and ironed out. Sponsors, supporters and volunteers are very much welcome to make this endeavor a success.

Be part of another historic event of Pinoy Expats and OFWs!
