I should add that one of our parnters Visayan Forum Foundation made it to the finals as well! We are also very big fans of Rugmak who made it to the finals.

It's a great interview - what I saw....I missed the last part and wasn't willing to fight the bandwidth to have to watch it all over to see it.. :--(

Did they mention the competition in the interview?

I agree, great timing. Only two days left in the vote and we have all our facebook savy volunteers out mobilizing. Popular vote type awards are not our strong point, so I dont like to get my hopes up.
