It has been exactly 13 days ago since the last edition of the Top 20 Commented Posts #Philippines tag. A lot has happened in those days, I spent one week as a break away from Steemit, I called it Steemit Detox, as I have been sick in that first week and have been resting haha. The second week I was too busy with my day job working for 10-12 hours a day for the past 5 days so less time really on Steemit and so burned out after I had no time to continue this edition. All of my previous posts were just color challenges, but now I will be slowly easing back the Philippines Top 20 Commented Posts editions.

Next I want to apologize to the previous edition winners of the top 3 after promising them a feature on the last edition and failing to do so. Do not worry your points are still tallied for the Rewards Pool Payout. I will start fresh this time. For this edition there will be no features of posts.

For the Rewards Pool Payout, it is still in my wallet you can check, it is still there and February is also fast approaching. Expect the payouts on the first day of February if possible :). With nothing more much to say let us start!
