Wazzup Pilipinas Founder Awarded as Influential Social Media Evangelist

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Congratulations are in order every time an individual receives an award. To be recognized for excellence in whatever form of achievement establishes an identity that you are among the more significant few deserving honor and prestige.

The founder of Wazzup Pilipinas, Ross Flores Del Rosario, was officially awarded as the Best Choice Influential Social Media Evangelist during the awarding ceremonies held last July 25, 2014 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel located in Ortigas Center.

The Best Choice Awards recognizes companies and professionals that have gained significant achievements in their respective fields. The Executive award is given to an individual that has made outstanding contributions to the practice of the management profession, and has demonstrated leadership and initiative management concepts, techniques, practices or services.

The selection process to determine the awardees has been perfected with a third party research firm to ensure that only the best choice service providers are the winners within an industry. This is the only organization that conducts research that surveys both the consumer and the business community with statistical accuracy. The research method determines all service providers, products and individuals to ultimately select the Best Choice, and establishes the winner within each industry.

Got the extremely rare opportunity to meet with ABS-CBN's Mutya ng Masa, Miss Doris Bigornia - the charming lady of the masses for the masses, or shall we say, Madlang People, who has been conquering Philippine television with her down-to-earth interviews and features of the ordinary people around the neighborhoods of Metro Manila and other nearby locations.

What is memorable about the event is that it was actually a surprise on our part that we would actually be a part of her show celebrating its anniversary. As far as we all know when we got invited, we thought we were just covering the event for our blogs but we got the shocked when we were informed that we were actually going to be co-stars of the show.

Just like any TV production, there are times when we were asked to do things for the camera as it rolled to take video shoots of us entering the different venues of the whole-day celebration that was also sort of a tour. From getting on the bus, to entering the first restaurant venue where we had breakfast, we suddenly found ourselves acting for the camera. Lol!

Relax! That's not me with a needle pierced through my skin. I would have loved to be the guinea pig, or the lab rat, that night, but no matter how adventurous I was, there still remains the hesitation if its about an old age tradition.

In this day and age, who would believe acupuncturists still exist? Modern medicine has several advance methods, equipment and technologies already so I was actually baffled that Mainland China's traditional Chinese medicine or alternative method of curing used by their ancestors was still around to treat various kinds of problems. Where ever is the source of this kind of treatment, many are still doubtful that it is indeed effective.

We all know how the new generation resist the old practices, the same way how the oldies are hesitant to adapt new technologies, but I guess some people are still into what they believe works. Like what some people say, you don't fix something that is ain't broken.

However, our dinner date with acupuncturist Dr. Philip Nino Tan-Gatue, a Medical Doctor and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine, emphasized the point that the acupuncture method is really just complementary. Meaning, it should be coupled with other means to make it effective or eventually work. There still exist the need for discipline to keep to the required treatments other than just solely acupuncture.
