Thankful and honored of Wazzup Pilipinas to be awarded alongside the likes of Jake Zyrus, Alonzo Muhlach, Upgrade, and more at the recently concluded Best Choice Annual Awards for 2017.
We all know Jake Zyrus as the former Charice Pempengco who has courageously shown her true self regardless of what others may say. That alone deserves its own separate award aside from her prowess in the singing profession.
Alonzo Muhlach is a spitting image of his father and is not so far away from being a child star himself just like Nino Muhlach during his younger years. I grew up seeing Nino as the most recognizable child star during his time, and it is but reminiscing to see his son following his 'cute" footsteps.
All boys group Upgrade could very well join the ranks of popular singing groups with their charm as a big bonus for their fans, especially the young girls out there who are swooning over them.
I was fortunate enough to get exclusive video interviews from both Jake Zyrus and Alonzo Muhlach, aside from their performances on stage. I also have all video coverage of the performances of Upgrade so watch out for them either on our YouTube channel or Facebook page.
The awarding ceremony was held on September 22, 2017, at the Richmonde Hotel Eastwood in Libis, Quezon City.
Congratulations to the rest of the awardees. There are so many of them so I couldn't mention all of them on this blog post. It gives me great pleasure that there are award-giving bodies like the Best Choice Annual Awards that give due recognition to deserving individuals and businesses who excel in their chosen fields. Awards are a sort of reminder for us to continue our progress towards better services and products. We aim to sustain our effort to its best possible version while going against the challenges that come our way. We all know that we need to strive harder and work smarter to retain our spot as achievers, but with dedication and the sincerity to do our best, we know we will always triumph.
Together with other achievers from different sectors of society from businesses to personalities, even members of the media like UNTV, 8Trimedia and Wish FM, Wazzup Pilipinas also was recognized. Our recognition is specifically because of our achievements in the field of Multimedia Promotions and Opinion Blogging.
True enough, Wazzup Pilipinas is not solely campaigning on our blog alone, since we use all available social media like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others to reach out to people.
When others think we are only judged based on our blog site alone, many would agree that a blogger's opportunities to promote and share news and information spans across many areas of influence. On our YouTube, we have videos that reached more than a million views already, our Facebook posts have reached thousands of views as well, and though we are yet to boost our presence on other social media, we are trying our best to be all over to reach out all kinds of audience from all over the world.
Since blogs are globally accessible, it is no surprise that our reach has gone beyond the shores of the Philippine islands. I have met so many foreigners all recognizing Wazzup Pilipinas as one of their sources of news and information from the Philippines.
While others still believe the numbers are the main evaluation of a blog's success, we have our own interpretation of what success is because those numbers are insignificant if the intentions were just to attract the wrong audience by feeding them with "junk" content that just contributes to the dumbing of the masses. Our readers deserve better content than those click-baits or refurbished stories that were grabbed from viral or trending sources. After all, we only want to share the most significant news and stories that would uplift the thinking of our readers.
And since we also aim to reach out to more people, we do not concentrate on our blog alone since we put out stories where we feel it would reach more people. That is our ultimate goal: to have our stories more beneficial for its intended audience.
Congratulations to all the awardees of the Best Choice Annual Awards for 2017.
Ross is known as the Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas - An Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Professional by profession and a Social Media Evangelist by heart.
