The Best of Pinoy Web (week ending 01/01/10)

First post of 2010! Happy New Year/Decade!  :D

Every day, I scour the Pinoy web to find the most interesting Philippine-related articles, tweets, pictures and videos of the week. Then every Sunday, I will share my best finds here. If you think I missed something really cool during the past week, please write about it in the comments. ^_^
