What Keeps Us Getting Even Despite All Odds

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Our founder has this habit of talking too much. Well. it's more like writing too much.

The reason why friends suggested he writes a blog was for him to have an appropriate place where he could easily post his lengthy tirades.

Thus the https://bekindtoustrolls.wordpress.com/ was born. It was originally named "Be Kind To Us Trolls" because he was like trolling and sharing his incessant opinions at several discussion threads or open forums.

When he met a well known e-Commerce advocate, she cautioned him with the negative implications of the blog title, so he eventually changed it to "Be Proud of Us Pinoys." He met her for the first time when he participated in her program recognizing top emerging blogs. He actually won in the same program the following year.

The first time he attended her event, he was still writing on his original blog, but then got an idea to apply as a writer for a community blog site When In Manila (WIM). He got in as a writer, and after 3 months of active contributions attending and writing about events for them, they already promoted him as Senior writer.

But after his six month stint with WIM, he decided to create another blog that would fit promotions of events and brands. It was originally intended to be a travel blog as Wazzup Pilipinas under the blogspot domain http://wazzuppilipinas.blogspot.com

This was because he lost interest of writing for WIM when "politically motivated" agendas began sprouting in orchestrated by members who couldn't accept that he was raking in more events and inviting correspondents to take part. That was when issues against him were exaggerated that led to him leaving them. But they insist they kicked him out first. Lol!

Since he has more event invites than travel opportunities, and he wanted to make it a community blog, he decided to open it as a lifestyle blog that accepts contributions from everyone (fellow bloggers, students professionals, etc.,), and to make it more decent, he bought a domain WazzupPilipinas.com

PR Director Goes Berserk with Open Letter to Bloggers

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Here's a PR Director's open letter re-shared by a blogger, and correspondingly countered by Wazzup Pilipinas' founder Ross Del Rosario, exposing what really happened by providing background stories about the mentioned incidents.

We are posting this here because the original posts got reported on Facebook and might be eventually removed. We felt it fair to let everyone become aware of the statements and let the people decide on their own.

This PR Director was not able to provide counter-accusations of her abuse being a volunteer at the said event she was part of. Ross only got involved when he got an invitation to collaborate or help out by inviting his fellow bloggers to promote the event via pre and post event articles in our blogs and social media accounts.

We need to emphasize that this PR Director was never in the loop of the online campaign of the event which were coordinated with another recruited social media manager that regularly updates the social media pages of the event. She was not even part of the meetings held for the event, at least during the months before it.

All communications were directed to the head of the event. We never passed through her or any third party or mediator.

Arrangements with the main organizer were done accordingly and were approved by both parties months before the actual event. It doesn't make sense if this PR Director feels it is excessive since both involved parties agreed to the final arrangement.

The following statements below branched out because of a request to Ross to explain his side on the blogger's thread of discussion which originated on his Facebook page.
