UPDATE 3: Read the story about this event at INQUIRER.net breaking news.

Excerpt:

MANILA, Philippines — It was a no-frills affair.

But Filipino bloggers came dressed in their best, some like they were already winners in “semi-formal” getup, others clad casually in jeans and rubber shoes.

UPDATE 2:I forgot to add the categories. So here it is again. You can also see some loving, er, live blogging at Blog Addicts and @play. Congratulations to everyone.

The post below was done several hours ago. By this time, some of the winners and organizers are out partying.

In my case, I need a shuteye. Good night world!
