Your Friendly Neighborhood Blogcaster at Radyo Inquirer

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I've been calling myself as a "blogcaster" for quite a long time already since I joined the broadcasting community on radio as a co-host at the Vigattin radio show of Radyo Inquirer DZIQ 990 AM airing every Saturday from 10 to 11 am.

I genuinely coined the word from the words "blogger" and "broadcaster" to come up with the perfect designation since I've gone beyond blogging already and penetrated the broadcasting world. I would also like to mention the other radio and TV guesting opportunities, plus the upcoming TV segments for existing TV shows at UNTV, and another TV network soon, if ever it gets approval.

I owe the opportunity to be part of radio hosting out from the invitation of Mr. Vigattin himself, Elison Barcelo, to become part of Radyo Inquirer as his guest co-host. I will forever cherish this experience as part of my ever growing portfolio.

Last Saturday, February 7, after several weeks of absence from the radio show due to weekend-scheduled events, I finally had a free Saturday to drop by and join them once again to interview some guests namely the students from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Junior Marketing Executives group who is currently running a beauty pageant competition among the students of PUP. They brought along 5 out of the 18 pre-selected candidates who are already scheduled to compete in the grand coronation night to determine who will be Mr. and Ms Marketing World for 2015.

This was followed by an interview with our other esteemed guests namely were Israel Brizuela of Pay8Bilis.com and Emil Tapnia of PhilDev.

Nivea Men: Unlock Your Everyday #Diskarte

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Sometimes it takes more than just hard work, intelligence, physical strength or even a fortune, to get through in life. We need to be a little more resourceful to achieve certain tasks especially in this very competitive world where only the most cunning will stand out or remain standing. It usually takes a lot of #Diskarte in order to have a good chance of surviving in this challenging world.

#Diskarte is the operative word, underlining the Pinoy’s ability to get through any situation, find ways to respond to curveballs that life may throw and still come out looking and feeling fresh, cool and definitely well-groomed. 

Whenever we are stuck in a tight situation or need to make a quick but tricky decision, there's now a product called NIVEA MEN that will let the men unlock their #Diskarte to face the everyday challenges.

Nivea introduces the newest range of products designed for today’s quick-thinking males at a launch held at the Trinoma Activity Center last February 6, 2015. Members of the media were invited to attend the event, which was also opened to the public. Everyone was given the opportunity to get free shirts every P300 worth of Nivea products and a chance to win a Boracay trip for two.
