Natuyo ang utak ko sa eleksyon. Tuloy I am not prepared kung anong acceptance speech ko to all of you sa Happy 1st year anniversary nang Barrio Siete.

Big thanks sa readers of Barrio Siete who are mostly Overseas Filipinos and Overseas Filipino Workers. Kaya naman after 1,247 entries and 32,283 comments, an tatabil nyo pala! Salamat sa pagtangkilik.
Kita nyo naman, starting from a miserable Alexa rank of 20,320,656, a year later, we would register an Alexa rank that look like this: 193,582. Akala kasi nang mga Overseas Pinoys, Barrio Siete …

How to earn credibility in blogging

First. Give it up. Ang kulet nyo! I truly have no interest in joining your money problems with Dona Victorina people, Amiel Aguilar Cabanlig, Belo Clinic or whoever else or anyone in your line-up of former friends. I don’t know anyone of you nor do I have any connections with you people. Sa susunod, wag nyo kasing sinasamba ang pyramid, kung pyramid man ang nakita nyo. Hindi yan simbahan.

Second. When you give PEACE and it has been accepted, you make good your word, otherwise baka …

Ladies, gentlemen and in-betweens, have a sit, because this will be the longest State of the Barrio Address in our Barangay Hall.
I will address, respond, rebut and hopefully bring world peace to this nasty blogwar between the DV Group and B7, specifically, Reyna Elena and the founder of Dona Victorina.
Let me start with the easy ones:

Delfin Montano – Reyna Elena has no relationship whatsoever with DM and no matter how hard the founder of Dona Victorina tries to connect DM with RE, it won’t work.

Rain Barnido – Do …

There’s so much that we in B7 would like to share you all in terms of collective blogging, pramis. In fact, I even begged to the bones and asked Annalyn if we could write an article, back to back sa Manila Bulletin mula front page hanggang dun sa Classified Ads, namura tuloy ako!
But really, if you are thinking of forming a collective blog, ma-trabaho sya. You need three P’s. Pasensya, pasensya, pasensya. But in my mind, here are some key success factors that I know, based on experience:

First, all of …

It may not really be au revoir and goodbye because Barrio Siete is merging back to its mother ship – Reyna Elena.
May 17, 2009 when we created Barrio Siete. Interestingly, 7 months later we are now folding up. It was a nice run. A great run. An unbelievable run. In fact, we’re still flying high with our rankings – way better than Google! Nyahaha!
Anyway, here’s our excuse slip.
Maintaining a collective blog is a drag that B7 can’t keep up with, especially with our growing pains. While Barrio Siete enjoyed an …

First, let me thank all of you for your continued support of Barrio Siete. Our unbelievable meteoric rise in the Philippine blogging community is brought to you not by prakter & gambul but ewan ko, maganda lang talaga kami siguro.
Almost 6 months in the blogging world, we in Barrio Siete are just very happy to have accomplished that Alexa ranking of 170k from the over 20 million mark 6 months ago. Salamat to ya’all. Pramis. ITALY pa.
Interestingly, the topic of my 13th SOBA today, is about anonymous commenters in Barrio …

Naubusan na ba talaga nang fire ang Barrio Siete?!
My 12th State of the Barrio Address (SOBA) addresses Roni’s comment here na personally, medyo nairita ako! Hahaha! Ano ba Roni?! Leche ka! Grrr!
“Laos ka na ba Reynz?“
Para bang it smacks of sumtin’ sumtin’ na hindi maganda pakinggan. But it’s ok. Ganyan lang yan si Roni, who abruptly left Barrio with his internal fight with a number of B7 writers. Sabi nga ni bluep, matira ang matibay.
“Laos ka na ba Reynz?“
I don’t know if it’s a challenge for the …

Backstage info:  So far highly educated rumors has it that the main front runners for the next presidential election are political royalties Noynoy Aquino with Mar Roxas, billionaire Manny Villar, Macapagal protege Gibo Teodoro, and ex-con ex-President Erap Estrada with his sidekick Jojo Binay.  I’m not sure what these guys’ plans are, but they better start helping the typhoon-ravaged country NOW!

Now it’s your turn to make up your own cartoon scenario.

“Keep Social Climbing Alive!”
That’s our tagline that endeared us to all of of you and gained us a lot of our followers worldwide. Except this reader from Houston who had no clue what our social climbing meant:
“What about you, the self-proclaimed “social climber”? You do realize, surely, what a contemptible connotation the term “social climber” has, no matter what kind of “spin” you want to put on it, Reynz.“

Our Social Climbing does not end here. Nah-ah! Hahaha! Just look at our records what social climbing did to Barrio Siete. 5 …

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome po sa ating 10th State of the Barrio Address! Duda ko, di nyo napansin ang maraming pagbabago sa paligid nyo. As La Kapitana, andito ako to tell you that we do this to nobody, nobody bachuu *clap* *clap* *clap*!!!

What a run! But we’re not finished! We’re still flying high! What are we gonna be when we grow up? Sikweet!!!

For now, I’m broadcasting live from Philadelphia mga ka-barrio, if you’ve noticed our Barrio 7 statistics, we have now breached the 200,000 Alexa ranking category which means, we are no longer “SINO BA KAMI” rather, “ASAN NA BA SILA?!” hahaha! Charing lang! Kayo naman. Tse! Eto exhibit A:

Which means, membership to the elite B7 Writers Club is now closed, except yong Malditong tiga Iloilo, dahil kabaryo …

In three months, we have gone from one bukid to pro’lly, the only fastest growing rising Philippine blog ever! Look, nakakahiya tuloy sa Apolo. Este, Apollo, because our ranking was flying past the stratosphere, past the moon and starwars, exciting na nakakaloka sya! I’m telling you, social climbing is nevah a negative thing, it’s very influential talaga, you even get a link and an invite from …

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, good morning and good evening kung saan man ang Barrio Siete nyo. This is your La Kapitana!
Before I begin my report to the barrio, happy 29th berdey (ngiting aso! hehehe!) sa karpentero nang Barrio Siete Dot Com and that would be kotsengkuba! I would also like to thank ABS-CBN for correcting GMA News TV. Hahaha! An sayaaa!! Thank you, Barrio Siete Writers, readers and lurkers at mga bagong bisita now numbering 1,500 kada dia. (Leche! Tataas ata ang renta namen sa Barrio! Me …

I address you today at a crucial moment in our Barrio Siete History. Officially, 2 months old na ang Barrio Siete. Oo mga ka-barrio, officially, we are 2 months old. Can you imagine?

Our Alexa Rankings
Parang keylan la-ang. Barrio Siete is really flying talaga. I don’t know about you, but we must be riding one super-sonic broom made in Capiz. I guess. Wala pa kami sa top 100,000 on Alexa. Pero meron kaming anting-anting that will get us there. As you know, we opened our Barrio Siete doors to the world on May 17, 2009. Mula nun, para kaming kwitis. Our rank?

44 days later, eto na po kami, the sweetest 6 figure milestone of Barrio Siete. Naka-simangot ang Silver. Gusto nya 5-figures. Tahan …

Good morning people of Barrio Siete! As you know, Barrio Siete is not one unicameral leche-lature, gaya nung ginawang coup nang mga tongressman to chip-in chip-in at lagarein ang ating Constitution at gawing songhits nang mga utabs to sing gloria na! Leche! Hmpt! Be that as it may, maganda tayong lahat kahit na I don’t have P20 million to pay our Barrio Council, Councilors and Dayong Baryo. But what I know is this:

Our mission: Keep social climbing alive!
Our vision: World peace! (Wala kaming interes makipag-away! Pramis! Hehehe!)
Our BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal): Win the hearts and minds of Pinoys around the world, one Barrio at a time.

Maganda tayong lahat sa umaga mga kabaryo! At ako ay nagdadala nang magandang balita! This is Reynz, ang Kapitana del Barrio with my 1st SOBA and that’s the State of the Barrio Address. Tandaan, SOBA at kahit ako eh tiga-Pasig, hindi yan SONA. Intiendez?!
I’m actually grinning like one hungry barriotic kid with excitement with the obvious reception that Barrio Siete is getting from everybody plus the fack that our Barrio Council is very busy. Their …
