The Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2012 Writing Project is now on its 6th years. It was created to seek new blogs but already made an impact to its readers.
“These are blogs that started anytime from June 1, 2011 to the present. These blogs are gradually gaining a considerable amount of readership, following, influence and fascinating the reader in various ways. The bloggers behind them established the blog for various reasons such as expression of thoughts, sharing of knowledge and insight, building a movement, events reporting or coverage, and some for profit.”
Based on the criteria's mentioned, the top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2012 are:

2. Vivi’s Random Ramblings
One of the best travel and photography blog owned by a well traveled young lady who writes about her adventures from Asia, Middle East and Europe. She inspired a lot of people through her travel experiences and superb photographs of the places she visited.

What makes this travel blog unique, influential and different from all other travel blogs in the Philippines is its being Nationalistic.

The Urban Walker is inspired by its author's professional inclination and practice, that is urban and regional planning with major on transportation. With all the buzzes and pressing issues that we face in the metropolis pertaining to traffic congestion, environmental issues, transport policy and governance as a whole, The Urban Walker has the greatest potential to become much more influential in terms of engaging us with its crucial takes on our urban states and affairs. Web presence wise, the blog started sometime in October last year (2011) and it has been gaining followers. With roughly 8-months of presence in the web and around 40 blog posts, it has gotten about 700 Facebook followers already
9. PALAGUTOM

It features food that are less than 100 pesos in amount. Palagutom Boy (the author) believes that you should not spend much just to taste your favorite food if you can have them cheap.
10. Filipino Bloggers Worldwide
