The gerryruiz photoblog was accorded the 2010 Best Photoblog Award (National Level) by the Philippine Blog Awards in awarding ceremonies held last night, December 12, 2010 at the RCBC Plaza in Makati, Philippines.
Coming close to the heels of being bestowed Best Photoblog Award for the Visayas region last November 27, 2010 in Iloilo City, I cannot help but feel humbled by such additional recognition granted by peers most of whom I have never met in my entire life!
Allow me then to express my utmost gratitude to the Philippine Blog Awards and to my co-bloggers for this wonderful gift of recognition. Thank you all for the likes and the kind comments (mostly at Facebook and elsewhere).
The gerryruiz photoblog has always subscribed to the notion that, “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal!” Unselfish and noble actions are, after all, the most radiant pages one can aspire for in the biography of souls. We may not be able to singularly do great things for the Earth, but we can certainly do small things with love and passion!
The award really goes to the photoblog’s readers as well without whom the author would be devoid of the inspiration that fuels it all. 
I raise my glass to you all! Cheers!!!
In some long walks of doing the dictates of inevitable passions, it surmounts to the open barriers if it can blow up expectations for others to grasp the innermost will & reasons to justify everything. Only consistency in anything can make all things valid. As an Artist also, passion certainly is an instrument to capture optical illusions & put them into documentaries of time making them a legacy. Laurels are there as an epitome in gratification of humble doings. It will remain in the hearts & thoughts of everyone as a whisper of time encompassing. Congratulations Gerry!!!! Though I haven’t met you personally, my hat’s off to you! SALUDO!!!
It’s a brilliant touch for anyone’s heart, that we can somehow be at par with the best photographers in the country & the world’s finest. For some reason, it could be a flight into a much broader spectra in photo art. Congratulations!
