Wazzup Pilipinas!
26 Collaborators, over 20 places. This is hands down the biggest collaboration this group has ever been a part of. Thanks to Google for allowing such an epic collaborative adventure to be posted online.
Bogart the Explorer from Davao City, on his YouTube account with Paperbug TV, previously asked people to take a trip with their barkada, using Google to ask questions and to prominently display the question written on a piece of paper. The question should be about how Google Search helped them with the answers in pursuing their journey or trip anywhere in the Philippines. They asked to share with them the videos to qualify for a chance to be part of a big commercial.
This was the original announcement: "Mates, we’re working with Google to create their next commercial, and we want you to be a part of it! Just send to tripngbarkada@googlegroups.com a 2-min video of your barkada traveling or exploring somewhere you've never gone before, with a little help from Google Search. Make sure you show us on a piece of paper the place/question that you asked Google while on your trip. Send in your video by July 15, and if we like it, it’ll be in the next Google commercial. If we really, really, really like it, we will give you a special gift thanks to our friends at Google!"
Other important guidelines reiterated were: No nudity, profanity, violence, defamation of character, and to shoot horizontally. The videos must also meet the criteria of 40% Usage and relevance of Search, 30% Friends benefiting as a result of Google, and 30% Creativity and Fun.

Apparently, they asked director and fellow YouTuber RA Rivera to help them put it together to bring forth one epic video.
Please see below the epic result:
Amazing isn't it! I'm betting you wished you were part of it! You're drooling with envy!
With the wit and charm of Bogart the Explorer from Davao City, one of the brand ambassadors for Google, included in the video, this will surely become a hit.
For those interested with this kind of exposure, I've heard that Google has also announced another collaboration through Mikey Bustos' YouTube account. Mikey is another talented and popular YouTube sensation. But I've seen his video invite and this time its all about food trips!
I'll share that story in another blog post. For the meantime, enjoy watching the video while laughing out loud to the charming and lovable antics of Bogart!
Aside from Bogart and Mikey, there's also Erwan Heusaff, Ramon Bautista, RA, Rivera, Lourd De Veyra, Jun Sabayton, Sponge Cola and several others who's part of this Google collaboration. Thye are probably doing several of this type one at a time. But I'm just guessing for now. So stay tuned for updates!
