You don't need to tell your readers na you've committed mistake. You have made the decision and you must abide by your rules. Don't regret Bro. It's not a wrong decision. Actually, you've made it! Be thankful.

Buti na lang gracious un winner. Nagbalik pa dito at nagpa thank you.

Marami ka bang feedback na negative re sa winner? E ano naman Kelvin. It’s your contest, your rules. Di mo naman dinisregard yun result to favor another contestant. Kahit well meaning feedback nila, kung sa tingin mo the contestant won it fair and square, okay lang iyon.

It might harm you more Kelvin sa tingin ko lang. It’s your blog siempre pero words can truly hurt, Kelvin. It’s hard to undo when hurtful things have been said. Besides, the object of the contest is for you to create a buzz, di ba? And to win friends na rin?

Jaypee has a great suggestion about random.org and having a select group of friends who’d act as judges for your contest.

Di lang learning experience ito for you. Ganun na rin sa amin who might conduct a contest in the future.

Kelvin, remember what I told you last time? Before you run a blog contest, you really need to plan it well, look at all the possibilities and angles and really think it over. But anyways, what’s done is done and like what others have said, just learn from your mistakes. Don’t be disappointed, its all part of learning. At least, next time you know what to do and what not to do.

Btw, next time maybe you can just use a randomizer like random.org or a set of judges (close friends, other bloggers, etc) to choose the winners.

tsi… ano ba yan…

And of course to you Kelvs. Galing, congrats for running a successful a blog contest.

Way to go little bro!

I didn’t expect those words to come out of Kelvs’ fingers… (Fingers kasi tinype lang… ehehehe…)

Well, we can’t do anything about it now. Ehehehe! Expected ko na yang may magrereklamo na unfair ang naging labanan but not from Kelvin! Ehe… Kasi Kelvs, kaw ang may gawa ng rules.

Pero di ka rin naman masisisi, you must’ve thought na ang mga tao ay boboto kagaya ng sa tingin mo ay tamang batayan ng pagboto.

Medyo natamaan ako dun sa “hey-you’re-my-friend-so-vote-for-me” campaign, kasi halos gumamit na ako ng spam-bot para lang send-an ng comments lahat ng facebook friends ko… ehe…

Well, I knew kasi that I never had the chance of winning, lalo na nakita ko yung competitors ko, matagal-tagal na din sa bloggosphere at marami na rin kaibigan dito sa industry. Kaya tinigilan ko na rin pangangampanya. Ehe…

So, ayun, matuto tayo sa mga pagkakamali.

Favor Kelvs, please delete my entry. Medyo nagka-gap kami ng friend ko dahil dun eh. Ehe…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dun sa friend ko na na-disappoint sa pagsali ko dito sa contest na ‘to (for his own reasons which I totally understand), sorry… Peace na tayo! Ehe…

But I agree with Mars, dapat walang online poll, you know how much the magic click works these days in the net.

Congrats to the winner, personally it wasn’t his fault tho – it can happen to anyone or anykind of online “contest”. More next time, Kevs.
