In 2013, iNewMedia.org, the defunct new media publishing, started the search for the outstanding bloggers in Cebu.
Three years later the same organizers decided to revive the said award giving body, but this time with a more reliable matrix: The TOP CHOICE algorithm.
Since 2015, the ESCooped team has been collating data and information of more than 200+ blogs based in Cebu.
As ESCooped.com founder Ruben Licera Jr explains: ” as search and social media engine professionals, we are always on the look out for the Top, Oustanding and Preferred (TOP) brands whom we can benchmark for innovation and for growth for other bloggers and social media users.”
Using the intelligence of the search engine and social media engine, the expertise of our chosen digital influencers judges [Minerva, Vernon, Bjorn and Ruben], and the feedback of other Cebu bloggers, we we’re able to come up with the authoritative lists of TOP Cebu Blogger Influencers that you should follow,” Licera adds.
These are the TOP 20 Cebu Blogger Influencers that you should follow:
20. Miong Tampus
19. Jazmine Llaguno
16. Herbert Kikoy

This is a great list… I have been looking to get to know other Cebuano/Cebu based bloggers as well to virtually make friends and exchange experiences with blogging. My blog is only 6 months old and topics varies basically anything about Cebu. I share this blog with my best friend.
Would really love to get connected to other Cebu bloggers. Would really mean a lot to me if you could send a heads up.
I am also following Solitary Wanderer and Pinay Solo Backpacker – two awesome female solo travelers that are from Cebu.
Now, I’m reviving my travel blogging and vlogging and I hope I’ll be able to maintain them in the long run. Follow my journey at https://asaniquen.com.
