Best in Pinoy blogs recognized in 1st BDO Blogger Awards

The BDO Blogger Awards honors bloggers and influencers for sharing useful information, insights, and positivity with their followers and viewers. The awards honor bloggers’ contributions not only in spreading awareness about the bank’s advocacies but also in initiating important public discussions for a more financially-inclusive industry through content creation.

The Awards feature two segments: the recognition ceremony, which awards the top-performing content creators in terms of the quality of content they published online from 2020 to 2021; and the content creation contest—a thematic activity that challenges participants to come up with unique and creative ways to talk about various topics.

This year, BDO challenged participants to discuss the bank’s innovative digital solutions, which served as an alternative option for clients to perform their bank transactions, especially during the height of the pandemic.

And we are happy to share that yes, My Metro Lifestyle is one of the winners of the Content Creation Contest! 

We'd like to thank my family, friends and of course all of our readers and followers who have been so supportive. 

It is such an honor to be part of these top mommy bloggers who also won the contest.

Fitz Villafuerte of Ready to be Rich was named 

As bloggers and content creators, this recognition definitely inspires us to work harder. Many of us started blogging as a hobby and personally, there are many times that I ask myself if I am just wasting my time or if I am doing the right thing. This definitely gives us the reassurance that what we do has meaning. Thank you, BDO for inspiring us to make a difference in this world one content at a time.
