With that said, here are the last 5 highlights:
2010 was also the year that gave us massive media mileage. We guested more than a dozen times on various shows on ABS-CBN’s news channel, ANC. To top that off, I was also a resource person to at least 3 news reports on TV Patrol and a news report on TV5′s Sapul. For print, we were interviewed for an article on Inquirer and I had a full page feature on Manila Bulletin’s Business Agenda (Thanks to Ms. Cora). For online, New Media PH was cited as a source by CNN Asia for the Pilipinas Kay Ganda Issue.
Here’s an excerpt from an guesting on ABS-CBN ANC’s Media In Focus hosted by Cheche Lazaro:
I’ll just keep this part sweet and simple – thank you to all of our clients who hired us for various projects like web design, web development, social media management, online ad placement, and strategy development. 
Looking forward to 2011! Muchos gracias!
By the way, let me share the video that we produced to promote Internet Marketing in the Philippines:
Let me just give a shout out to the Bistro Group (especially Fish & Co. and Italianni’s). You guys rock.
2010 was also the year that I started to actively search for more partners and sponsors for our sites. It’s expensive to run technology blogs like Apple Manila and BlackBerry Manila because I need stuff to review. I was very fortunate to get some content partners for product reviews. We basically borrow products, test them out, review them, and then give them back. The nice thing with our current arrangements is that we’re not forced to say just good things in the reviews that we write.

Thank you Opt Philippines, MiLi Philippines, Curious Cases, Research In Motion (RIM), Eubiq, and the rest of our partners!
For 2011 we hope to get more content partners so that we constantly have fresh, relevant, and exciting content for our technology blogs.
2010 was also our breakthrough year for speaking engagements and in-house training sessions. In the last 365 days, we delivered over 55+ talks all over the country. Topics mostly dealt with social media, entrepreneurship, career motivation, personal branding, and blogging. Here are some pictures:
We already have 10 confirmed engagements for January – February of this year. One of the events that I’m really excited about is the Ayala Young Leaders Conference! It feels good to be able to share lessons and experiences to the next generation.
The biggest highlight of the year? Me getting married! Hahaha! Check out the video below for snippets of my wedding last August 7, 2010.

And that’s it! 2010 was a great year and I’m hoping, praying, and believing that 2011 will be bigger, better, and brighter! Cheers everyone!
#10 is the best! Congrats Carlo!

Hey Carlo! You forgot to mention all the wonderful pro-bono work you have been doing to help our OFWs through the Blas F. Ople Center. Every time we need a resource person re online stuff for OFW families, you’re always the first to respond. Thanks and hope you will do the same in 2011. Hehehehe!
Haha of course Tita I’m always here.
Congrats Carlo! More power to you and your family and to New Media.ph! God Bless! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
