Wazzup Pilipinas at Radyo Uno: Hosting Every Sunday for the Family Business Radio Show

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas, Ross Del Rosario, has recently accepted accepted the offer to co-host at Radyo Uno's Family Business radio show which airs every Sunday from 5:00 to 6:30 pm.

They've been wanting me to join them since I first guested with them last December 21, 2014 but I was unfortunately too busy to accept during those times when events and writing obligations were too frequent that even my weekends were blocked.

I am still busy, but I will try my best to host whenever I'm free. Though I'm more focused on online media since I am the type of person who works best at the background, I am open to collaboration even if it means I have to be under the spotlight.

Radio and TV hosting opportunities will be challenging because unlike blogging, I will now be dealing with concerns such as impromptu dialogues (as we won't be always depending on a readily available scripts) and outfit considerations (what to wear at every broadcast since we are on live streaming and it will look awkward wearing the same clothes every airtime).

Our guest last Sunday, February 8, was e-games mobile provider Mirai D3sign Digital Solutions. Both the CEO and Business Development Officer of the company discussed about their very first mobile game app called "Fiesta7" which they are promoting as a leisure game downloadable for free as an Android mobile app via Google Play Store. The game involves just picking 7 numbers and trying your luck to win via randomly drawn numbers for the day.

Again, hope you could spread the word to your network in the region. Application closes on the15th of February.

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.
