@Jayvee: Korean grocery stores = MELONA Ice cream and those red bean ice cream shaped like fishes. UGH. *drool*

@camille

the fishes are yummy. i used to stock those. what i find to be pure genius is how their version of the drumstick has ridges in the wrapping so that you can peel off as much wrapper needed as you make your way through the ice cream.

i also like their version of the pinipig crunch that uses nuts and has a chocolate bar “surprise” center in the popsicle stick

…What do you mean by chocolate bar center, is it like the chocolate in the drumstick here in the philippines but instead in the center of the popsicle?

@jayvee, is that real?you mean the popsicle-like is chocolate?if im right, it’s nice and great.

kanino kaya ang 2 you tube videos na yun.. hahaha.. sir jayvee pd ba malaman. malaking compliments na rin yun na mapasama sa top 3 na pinagpilian.. hehehe.. anyway, congrats.. i thought 5 samsung galaxy ang bibigay.. 🙂 better luck next time… looking forward for the next game.. wag po voting system please…

happy holidays..

LOL AGAIN, MUCH ADO OVER A LAPTOP. Congrats to the winner! Jayvee, I now want ice cream.

ou nga sherw00d. ,gus2 q din malaman e ,youtube vid din ung akin kc. .hehe , .pa c0ns0 nMn po kuya jayvee.jwkz, .hehe.

d rin ako nakasali d2 kasi parang d ako gaano na influence.pwera na lang sa napuno gn lola ko ugn siang cabinet ng mga pirated an koreanovela hahahaha

In school, my teacher taught me the value of sportsmanship. That in every contest, there is always a winner and a loser. If you win, be grateful to God; if you lose, be humble enough to accept defeat – better luck next time. This is also the value that I am teaching to my children, especially to be honest in how you win the contest… This is the first time to have heard of a contest having no winner just because the supposed-winner is a disqualified entry. Marlon knows very well that he is disqualified so why should he be hurt when he was denied of the prize. One of the top ten deserves the Samsung Shark SF410 prize. Parang obvious nga naman na hindi talaga binasa ‘yong buong 1800+ entries at parang doon na lang nag-focus sa mga latest entires.
@Jayvee, please be open to criticisms and suggestions, be it positive or negative. Tell you, you will learn a lot from them; they will help you grow and become mature. Closing off comments won’t help you grow. Respect the opinions of others even if it hurts. We are in a democratic country so always expect criticisms no matter how good the intention is. Nobody’s exempted from criticisms. Si Lord Jesus Christ nga eh grabe ang pinagdaanang criticisms but it brought him glory.
Sana Marlon will speak up and be humble enough to say it’s alright to give the prize to the rightful winner (among the top 10!).
Thanks a lot for allowing my comment to be posted. A joyful Christmas and a Blessed New New Year to everyone. More power and God bless po.

did summady say ice cream?

hindi naman best solution ang magannounce ng NO WINNER sa pagkakamali ng pagpili ng winner dba? hindi ba mas best solution ang IAWARD ANG LAPTOP SA NARARAPAT? SA MGA PUMASOK SA TAMANG ORAS? SA MGA NAGHIRAP? SA NARARAPAT NA ENTRIES diba? what do u tnk? ok lang naman kng hindi tayo manalo e, sport naman tyong lahat pero ang point is… i award dapat yan sa nararapat? pangit man ang entry nsa desisyon nmn ni Jayvee yan at tatanggapin ng lahat dhil c Jayvee ang may kakayahan na magdecide kng cno ang dapat manalo dba? come on, its never too late…;)

Tama po. Para once and for all mag-end na ang grudge ng mga pipz and happy na ang lahat… A winner has to be announced. Wala pa po akong nasalihang contest which has no winner. 😀

whew. hindi pa rin ako nanalo.

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)

http://www.samsung.com/ph/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=12584&page=1

im sorry for screwing up the previous contest. but i think this information relayed to me is a good way to put closure to everything.

thanks and happy holidays!

Well thank you for screwing this up. You are such a joke! The winner is a joke! Did you even bother to go through the thousand entries? I knew it you will do this and will do again for another prize as major as a laptop. The next time you’ll do this again, you will find yourself banned in the blogosphere. Trollers will be all over you. Your fellow bloggers will condemned you and we’ll see you gnashing your teeth in the darkness. You absolutely are a joke!

Well, kahit di ako sumali dun sa samsung shark nafi-feel ko ung disppointment nila..and tama ung sinabi nila na maging open ka to any criticisms (wag dapat i-restrict ung comment box mo once na may nag-aappeal sa page mo)..ang dami kong gustong sabihin but wag na muna ngayon..am still monitoring ur page..remember my DTI nman right?:)

@ Sir Jayvee, I would like to clarify one thing: Ibig po bang sabihin nagpapa-contest kayo na wala pa sa kamay ninyo ang supposed-prize na ia-award ninyo just in case may manalo at walang kasiguruhan kung ibibigay sa inyo ng Samsung ang promised unit o hindi? Bakit Samsung po ang may authority at magde-decide kung mag-aaward ng winner o hindi? Di po ba sa inyo ang pa-contest na ito. Regarding the charity/outreach project of Samsung, di po ba dapat wala na kayong pakialam doon. At sa pagkakaalam ko ay sadyang may allocation na ang Samsung sa ganoong project nila. Ang para kay Juan ay para kay Juan, di po ba?… I may sound too selfish kasi nga ibibigay daw sa charity yong laptop. The means justify the end, finally? (Robinhood’s new version?)…

Remember a former Philippine President saying “sorry”, was it acceptable to the public majority? It’s the moral issue that’s involved… Come to deeply think of it, Sir Jayvee. Maliit at materyal na bagay lang po iyan kung titignan pero malaki po ang impact niyan sa inyong credibility.

Last comment ko na po ito, promise!
At appeal ko po sa lahat ng mga nagco-comment na kagaya ko, sana po ay walang bad mouthing o below the belt kasi palagay ko po ay maraming minors na nagmo-monitor sa development ng isyung ito.
Peace to all…
Again, merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to everyone and God bless po….

@vicente ferrer thanks for your inputs. they are greatly appreciated especially since you state them constructively and you disclose who you are. as for the issue of credibility, i admit to making a mistake in not double checking with the sponsor so it’s my bad. it is clear now that we have different opinions as to what the right thing to do is. for one, you aren’t in my position but i do understand that you are trying to empathize with me. let’s move on. it is unfortunate that this happened. i was planning for this contest since september 2010 and i am at that point where i am slightly regretting it, para wala nang hassle diba? but im sticking through. it’s my contest. i have the final say. samsung did not approach me for this. i went to more than 10 companies. this was supposed to be a celebration of sorts. but yeah i do appreciate that you aren’t trolling like the others.

if it is one thing that is worth celebrating, it’s the varied opinions. at least we can agree to disagree. =)

thanks and happy holidays!

for the nth time people, TIME TO MOVE ON… i myself submitted more than 20 entries. if we let this thing drag on, there won’t be any closure to this issue. jayvee made his decision, and he stands by it. let’s just respect that. he admitted his fault, and for me it’s enough. it’s just a laptop. as jim paredes has said in one of his tweets before, “you’ll never miss what you never had,” so let’s put an end to this debate once and for all. if you really want a to win something, there are a lot more lined up next year starting january 11 (tama ba jayvee)? peace and happy holidays…

I wonder anyone from Samsung read any of the trolls’ comments… Ano kaya ang comment nila? Hmmmmmm…

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. 😀

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.

^ 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!

@vicente ferrer: i inherited vintage cameras from my dad / grandfather =) but sige will take that into account. thanks!

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! =)

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 🙁

@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) 😉

yup them ghosts… they also mistook jayvee for scrooge. lol

@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! =)

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.

feliz navidad la la la la la
feliz navidad la la la la la
feliz navidad
prospero ano felicidad

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 🙂
