When Is It Proper To Flaunt Our Blogger's Loot for the Day?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Someone asked if bloggers need to post in social media an image of their loot for the day, and if a plain message is enough to express our gratitude to our host.

I believe it depends on the loot. If it's the actual product or cool merchandise with the brand names or logos, why not. It's a way of promoting the brands. But if it's GCs, cash, or anything that has nothing to do with the brands or companies, then that's a big NO.

Most readers are more gratified when we attach an image on our articles, thus a Thank You message would also look much better if we accompany it with a photo showing the object of our appreciation. Not too many will notice or even read posts with no visuals, especially when the message is lengthy. But if there's an attractive image, it will surely get noticed.

Just as how celebrities flaunt their outfits, jewelries, gadgets, etc., or the venue or facilities, or the services of a spa, gym, health clinic, etc.. All are intended to promote and showcase the brand. They should not be seen posting their fat cheques, or any kind of loot that serves as either their ex-deal talent fee, or compensation, or even perks and freebies that do not directly relate to the brand.

If you see the actual product(s), service(s), etc., especially when the brand/company logos are prominent, then that's acceptable.

Sam YG and Rhian Ramos Host 2nd Season of Full Throttle on Fox Sports

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Fox Sports launched the 2nd season of Full Throttle - a transport show featuring everything that drivers, riders and commuters would appreciate, accentuated by challenges revolving in sports, recreational activities, hobbies and even travel.

As seen on the preview shown during the launch held at the Rolls Royce showroom in Bonifacio Global City, the two hosts - Rhian Ramos and Sam YG - goes around to showcase stuff that would greatly interest everyone because they present it not on a very technical term but convenient enough for even the ordinary Juan to understand and appreciate.

We can see that they went to places like Cebu to also tackle what to expect when visiting the place, plus guested celebrities mostly in the field of sports like Coach Rio, the Tiu brothers, and many more.

The launch also featured a stacking competition where the hosts tried to beat the time of a professional stacker, but failed thus forfeiting the chance of the audience to win an entertainment showcase. I guess the professional stacker brought home the prize.

At an interview with the Creative Director, Niko Sebastian, and the Program Manager/Producer, Romel Dizon, they revealed that transferring to a new channel would definitely expect a better and much improved 2nd season for Full Throttle. So don't be left behind in seeing the premier episode on Thursday September 8, 2016 at 9:30 pm only at Fox Sports. Though there will be replays during the same week and also at another Fox channel. 

The two has also mentioned the future launch of the Full Throttle magazine which will also feature other stories aside from some of the contents of the TV show, As of the moment, they have an app that fans can download featuring the previous episodes of the 1st season that were shown on a different channel. They put out online three digital magazines per month that also shows animated GIFs and videos aside from the text and photos.

Jude Turcuato, Fox Sports SVP and General Manager, also thanked the media for their attendance and invites everyone to help share the great news.

Sam YG obviously brings in the humor, while Rhian Ramos should be oozing with sexiness even when she wears basketball jerseys, and other outfits during their adventure. Since Sam is also a DJ, I'm sure there will be lots of comical statements and interviews with their guest celebrities.
