Congratulations to Vince Golangco and wheninmanila.com for the successful launch of Blogapalooza last Saturday. I sat, I ate and I owe you this badge.... It was a cool way for businesses to pitch to bloggers and for bloggers like us to get to know some brands in the market. I immediately warmed up to the sight of this lean and limber young lady from Polecats Manila hanging on to a pole by the entrance. Whatta welcome! This man that lugged along a camera and a printer on his back was also quite a sight. Everybody had fun having their photos taken and then ... Continue Reading...
Who is the Big Blogger who is smiling his way to the bank?
The blogging circle in Manila is just very small and am kinda amused at how someone has been portrayed the Big Bad Blogger (like he's really baaad!) I've heard about this BBB issue as early as two years ago, when fellow bloggers would tell me stories about talking to so and so resort/resto owner that Big Blogger approached. I didn't easily dismiss it as a result of envy and professional jealousy, but until I talked to affected restaurant owners themselves, I wasn't ready to believe all the reports either. I thought to myself then: what is this blogger and his band ... Continue Reading...
Marketmanila takes a blogging break
Something picked up from my Google Reader: Marketmanila, one of the Philippines' top food blogs, is going on an indefinite sabbatical. " I have decided to take a month or two off, and when that time has passed, decide whether to return to blogging about food on a much less active basis or to call it quits for good," said the Marketman.

I am truly amazed at the number of ... Continue Reading...
Pinoy Blogfest 1.0 at Richmonde Hotel
My friends from Gadgets Magazine are organizing Pinoy Blogfest 1.0 which is happening tomorrow, April 17 at the Richmonde Hotel in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. With the theme " Opportunity & Responsibility," it aims to gather together alternative media practitioners and bloggers on issues confronting new media. A Universal McCann study conducted in 29 countries in 2008, estimates that about 90% of Filipino users read blogs (second only to Korea’s 92%). It also reported that the Philippines has the highest percentage of photo uploaders and web video viewers. Among ... Continue Reading...
Corporate blogging 101: should your company engage in it? (Blog-O-Rama)
Note: This post is adapted from my Manila Bulletin Blog-O-Rama column for April 27, 2009. Because of the popularity of blogs these days, some companies are joining the blog mob or the blog bandwagon. There’s really nothing wrong with this. A corporate blog, after all, is another way to connect with your customers or market on another level. And a blog, if put up well, can project more warmth and candidness than a generic press releases would. It is an affordable, high-impact way to get your message across without the expense of multi-million campaigns. On the ... Continue Reading...
