Local awards season generates buzz
MANILA, Philippines -- The past week recognized talents of the industry through two major awards: 1st Yahoo! OMG! Philippines awards and 27th PMPC star awards.
The Yahoo! OMG! awards recognized talents who were nominated based on how often they trended in Yahoo! Philippines search engine. The winners were selected by the general public through online poll conducted from June 14 to 18, 2011.
Hosted by JM Rodriguez and Andi Manzano, the 1st Yahoo! OMG! Awards were attended by the hottest stars from major networks. Held last Tuesday night at the Republiq Bar in Resorts World Manila, Pasay City, some recognizable faces chosen to present the awards included Dra. Vicki Belo, Jim Paredes, Lauren Young, IC Mendoza, Angelu de Leon, Quark Henares, Gaby dela Merced, Rovilson Fernandez, Jojo Alejar, Raymond Gutierrez, Fabio Ide and Rico Blanco.

Other celebrities strutted down the purple carpet with the flair appropriate for their respective beauty and charm. Bella Padilla looked stunning in a sequined classic lace detailed mini, which matured her baby face. Aljur Abrenica kept things simple with black tee and jacket and still managed to smitten the ladies.

One should have the chance to watch a sports game live and on the big screen with fellow ‘crazies’. It reminds you what teamwork really is all about and how exciting it is to be rooting for a team that is either an underdog, relatively new, Pinoy, or all of the above.
