Congratulations to Jerico Macatangay! You win a Galaxy 5 Android phone from Samsung
Posted by Jayvee Fernandez at December 21st, 2010
EDIT: Also I updated the final result of the Shark notebook. We’re donating it to the CSR arm as per my last SMS with Samsung.
I’d like to congratulate Jerico Macatangay who submitted a LONG blog entry on how the Korean culture influenced his life. It was a choice between this and 2 Youtube videos — but in the end, I found Jericho’s entry more moving despite being words and photos (compared to video).
Jerico, I agree with you — and might add that I do enjoy Korean grocery stores for their ice cream! I’ll email you details on how you can claim the Samsung Galaxy 5 from their office. I will endorse you to Odette. Better hurry though, as the holidays approach, lest you get it next year pa!
Trivia: To those who submitted entries with Sandara Park (now with 2NE1), our magazine was mostly responsible in making her famous before she left.

Tama ka Vicente I. Ferrer! Ang “Maliit at materyal na bagay” ay deserving ng 1356-character comment!
At tama ka din, “mr. rules“, dahil mahirap talaga mag-compose ng acronym! Walang sinabi yung mga triathletes diyan.
Jayvee, kelangan mong ayusin ‘to. Mag-bigay ka nalang ng Samsung gaming notebook sa lahat na sumali sa contest mo. /entitlement
I wonder anyone from Samsung read any of the trolls’ comments… Ano kaya ang comment nila? Hmmmmmm…
@ Sir Jayvee: Oops… this is not a comment regarding the controversial issue. I’ve promised not make further comments on it.
Suggestion ko lang po, kasi nakikita kong parang one of your passions ang photography, why not hold a photo contest? At sana huwag popularity contest ang judging (I mean, not through public voting). Pwede rin namang voting but after you have presented your top 5 selected personal choices. Kung wala pa po kayong sponsor, then pwede naman sigurong i-give away niyo na lang po ang one of your junked camera (yong slightly used ha, at least remembrance from you… he he he!). Pwedeng theme niyo po ngayon ang current holiday season para nang sa ganon hindi masyadong mahaba ang gap ng contest vacation mo. I know for sure marami ring mahihilig ng photography dito na kagaya po ninyo. Cheer up!….
It will not be over. You will be haunted.
But it’s a good thing because it will increase your readership. That’s why I wanna try the tactic out.
Hey hey congratulations to the winner! Enjoy your phone!
LOL Rico. I was gonna ask nga how a misunderstanding over a laptop can cause such an uproar when anyone didn’t even lose anything in the first place. Ka-level ba ng world hunger ang problema that it merits this much attention?
Obviously the people affected the most are those who don’t frequent the site before the contest series started. Avid readers would know how Jayvee operates (hence the successful first two rounds of the series).
Shame that people will have hatred in their hearts this Christmas.
oh hala makapagreason lang look at the site Jayvee gave http://www.samsung.com/ph/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=12584&page=1 dated March 2009 pa yun so meaning last year pa. hala niloloko talaga tayo nito. haha
^ You have a lot of time on your hands, don’t you?
I believe the link was an aid to let people know that it’s a legit CSR effort. The article might be outdated, but the charity is still alive.
I suggest that you click the little X button at the upper right corner if think you’re being scammed. I tell you, it’ll do you good
Merry Christmas!
ou nga pwd ph0t0 c0ntest, but n0t lng sna based sa pgalingan ng dslr, cp lg kc me. Haha . .ung my theme tlga. .for sample mg wriwrite o mg dadraw kmi ng abuggedlife den picture wid self. Hehe
@vicente ferrer: i inherited vintage cameras from my dad / grandfather =) but sige will take that into account. thanks!
@andrew either the week of jan 11 or the week of jan 17 =) will know once everyone gets back to work.
LOL @ the Trolls! Thank you for the entertaining posts.
@Jayvee, Awesome contest and kudos to your decision to give the notebook to charity.
Merry Christmas and a fruitful new year! =)
Baka naman multuhin winner na gagamit ng camerang yan…LOL. Sana simple lang ang requirement para naman makasali ako… hehehe.
Photography equipment would be great! Pero ang nakakatakot lang eh baka pagalingan nanaman sa photos so yung mga walang equipment who would need them, sila yung natatabunan ng mga hobbyist na.
Lagi kasing ganun nangyayari 
Two ways to get rid out of it w/ regards of this issue:
SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE the page.
easy lang di ba? kaya what are u waiting for?!
@jayvee… last comment ko na din to ok? we understand very much what ur feeling ryt now. pasensya n din kng over kme magreact ksi sa totoo lang nahirapan tlaga at nageffort kme ng todotdo sa pacontest nyo. Anyways, thanks for dat and for me.. ok na sakin na walang samsung shark. all i want is that you could answer these questions which I think, is very importand to your avid readers and would greatly fix things up.
1. Did you really scanned or bothered to study carefully each and every one’s hard-thought entry?
2. Have you really short-listed the top 10 entries?
3. IF YES, WHERE ARE THEY? can u announce it on this blog right now?
Hope to end this controversy after uv answered all these questions. Thank you very much again and May you have a Merry Christmas
P.S. Sorry for being mean. (coz the wrong proclamation really affected us)
Ah, so here’s where them Ghosts of Laptops Past, Present, and Future went.
yup them ghosts… they also mistook jayvee for scrooge. lol
@Joel Avatari who said “kudos to your decision to give the notebook to charity”. Sorry but I think hindi si Mr. Jayvee ang nagdecide na ibigay sa charity yung laptop. As usual, the Samsung guys, the guys with the “final say”, made the final decision.
This is what Jayvee said:
“ok guys. was exchanging a couple of SMS with samsung’s marketing to address the stalemate. what they told me (and i think it is for the best) is that they are donating the computer to their charitable initiatives (might be their Samsung HOPE campaign for technology education for kids”
@shamesung: my decision. deal with it.
@mr. rules
1. yes. for this contest series i usually just sift through entries at the last day. but for this particular week, i realized, come middle of the week, that there were just too many entries. so what i did was to choose my top 2 entries per day and list them down on a piece of paper. then come sunday, i made my final decision based on the ones i wrote.
2. and 3. good idea but think of what would happen — it would give more fodder for people to criticize my decision to pick the winner. that would just open a can of worms. so let’s move on. thanks! =)
Very Filipino-ish attitude that when someone failed, you will just forget the rest of the entrants, everything. This kind of retraction doesn’t happen in U.S. based contests and giveaways. At least, I never heard of it so far.
Please don’t reason out again anything just to turn your back from giving away the happiness we participants deserve regardless the prize’s worth!
When you commit to a contest, make it all the way! Word of honor anyone?
Whatever is the reason behind it, next time commit to what you have promised! Or better yet, if you’re not sure you’ll reward a winner, tag the contest title with “winner not guaranteed” so that we won’t expect for anything goody2x and you don’t have to expect at least a thousand visits that can help generate interests in your assorted product promotional posts.
once your name is tainted, it is hard to earn back respect…
feliz navidad la la la la la
feliz navidad la la la la la
feliz navidad
prospero ano felicidad
Kakanta na nga lang ako ng nababagay na kanta para dito.
I started a joke
which started the whole world crying
But I didn’t see
that the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry
which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I’d only seen
that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies
running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
hurting my head
from things that I’d said
Jst wanted to know if u really did selected the top 10 that’s it. maybe u didn’t that’s why u wont post them
its not a matter of opening cans of worms but proving what uv really done for the hard-thought entries. wht do u tnk? why be afraid to release the top 10, thats what uv decided so what?
at least uv proven urself for the things uv done. Thanks
