Most Filipino Steemians, like majority of the Steemit population, usually get unnoticed even when recognition is due for the quality content they provide to the platform. Furthermore, the status quo says blogging is the only way to earn something from the platform.
Blogging is an active means to get upvotes and be rewarded. On the other hand, if one finds themself too preoccupied with real life obligations, they are unable to capitalize anything from the platform because they have to post something to earn something. Not all the time an author could make quality posts.
How @BestofPH Bridge the Gap:
Worthy Filipino authors get upvoted, portion of the author rewards from the community account goes to delegators and people managing the account.
85% of the weekly liquid SBD author rewards and Curation rewards would be equally divided to share holders based on their SP delegations. See excel file for sample computation. Liquid SBD rewards to delegators are distributed weekly. 15% of the liquid SBD received by the account will be reserved for community operations. (5% will go to community contests, community efforts or programs for Steemit and 10% will be divided by curators and authors managing the account for incentives).
See Curation/Delegation Incentive Scheme here
For transparency’s sake, one can freely inquire and monitor the community account activity through steemd,active inquiry to the people running it, and keeping tabs on public documents. Nothing can be hidden in the blockchain anyway.
This program is not a get rich quick scheme. Smartmarket and SmarSteem offers higher rewards and so do other bidbots in Steemit. You do get more money if you subscribed to those investment plans. What @BestofPH offers is organic voting. Upvotes are not paid and upvotes go to people that have blogs to prove they deserve the recognition.
This is the spirit we want to promote on Steemit for the Filipino Community.
We also understand that SP delegated freely is a lose for the people giving it away temporarily that’s why we created an incentive structure to compensate and maybe make it a worthwhile investment if people are not in the program for charity reasons.
How is this different from the usual Filipino Based Support Systems?
Until now, no known Filipino Support System in Steemit has organized community upvoting for a noble cause as a possible investment avenue. Most solicit for SP delegations of trails which may not really bring much ROI to all participants. Pooled SP brings more weight on the upvote than consecutive upvotes with nearly the same value of SBD upvote.
How to be part of the program?
There are 2 options to get involved. You can either Curate or Delegate.
Curator
Anyone who is interested in promoting Filipino content creators in the platform. The curator status follows the same guidelines to 
Delegator
If you would like to delegate to Best of PH you can do so by clicking on the following links.
100SP, 250SP, 500SP, 1000SP, 5000SP.
Be sure to leave at least 50SP undelegated on your account.
Who are the reviewers?
Most of the Filipino curie curators are members of BestofPH community so these reviewers are names not hand picked randomly from a hat but people who are trained to spot quality content.
Simple way to support the program if already an investor:
Upvote the community posts because the rewards will just be distributed back to the the investors and people running the account.
If we tell you this program will solve every problem of poor visibility of Filipino authors in Steemit, that would be a total lie. What we have is an initiative closer to solving that problem while keeping level headed about how to do it.
NOTES:
- Program will officially launch on the 7th of May.
- If you want to be part of the community, join us on Discord
- Follow our trail and vote for curated Pinoy authors. If you are a SteemAuto user,
is an available trail to follow.
Best of PH Curation Program is on Beta. If it succeeds, it bring ROI for everybody.
If not, then we could learn something from the program’s flaws and build a better program for the community in the future.
