Celebrity Blogger / The Next Big Thing: McBilly joins Mr. Cebu 2008

Hey everyone! How are you?

I finally found time to update this blog. Thanks to her excellency, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, for declaring this day, October 1st, a holiday. Speaking of holiday, I would just like to greet the whole Muslim community a Happy Eid’l Fitr.

Anyway, back to regular programming. You must have heard of the Mr. Cebu pageant, the first ever big event of its kind in Cebu, which is very fast approaching. The event will be held at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino on October 10th, 2008 at 7pm, and will be hosted by Ms. Angel Aquino.

My online buddy and friend, our very own celebrity blogger, McBilly, is one of the candidates of Mr. Cebu 2008, so I hope we could all support him and vote for him.

Here are some photos of McBilly:
