FAME Holds Blog Spot Holiday Treat for Bloggers

Wazzup Pilipinas!

FAME recently held their Blog Spot Holiday Treat for 2017 on November 21, 2017 at the Green Sun hotel. As expected based on last year’s run, the event was again very successful with many sponsors providing both learning opportunities, and awesome freebies, to all blogger attendees. We have to thank all participating brands for making the event a real winner because aside form the freebies, the raffle prizes were also a big hit that made the event twice as rewarding.

We learned about several products and services being offered by the brands like Raso Travel which offers stunning travel and tours packages that would surely fascinate both avid and beginning tourists. Their packaged tours to Jeju Island, Kore and Okinawa, Japan are something to look forward to. Their cruises are also a great way to travel since it’s like chilling in the ocean while you’re off to your preferred destinations.

Prima Taste offered food products that are quite new for me. Aside form their cookies, they even have boxed goodies that I have not even heard of yet. I am excited to try them all soon, but I’m sure I already have even before I’ve ended and published this article. They were all just too tempting to ignore.

There were two skin care brands specifically SkinMate and Glupa which both boasts of making your skin a lot more glowing. Aside from the sin whitening ingredients, their products have sunblocks that would prevent your skin from sun damage.

Accu/Chek is a great tool to assist you in monitoring your diabetic condition. I had myself tested and I was not surprised of the results since I just recently found out myself that I am diabetic. Some laboratory tests that I took revealed that I have too much of the glucose, and so I would need Accu/Check to assist me in sustaining my health. It’s easy to use and understand interface makes it a convenient tool to purchase.

Uncle Tetsu’s fluffy but rich cheese cakes are a best-seller at the event for it was gone so fast that I only had one serving. No worries even if I am diabetic since they are not too sweet. They gave us a small sample but it was not enough to satisfy my craving.

A representative from Sleepwell also made a presentation to promote their product. That’s the first time I knew that taking a sleeping pill does not necessarily make you asleep all throughout the night. It just makes you sleep a lot more comfortable.

Inquirer mobile also gave a talk to invite us to download their mobile app for an alternative means of getting the news from one of the leading publications in the country.

Another guy introduced sample of his crispy gluten-free sliced breads that are good for all kinds of spreads like butter, jams and liver. I forgot the name of his product since he did not give away some samples for take home.

Of course, since the event is organized by FAME, they also gave magazines for free to the attendees. They also informed us of the digital versions of their content that can be accessed online.

You may take a look at the photos and videos taken at the event at our social media pages like YouTube and Facebook.

Wazzup Pilipinas Guesting at DWBL 1242 AM Radio

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Wazzup Pilipinas recently got invited again to guest at a radio show called Radyo Negosyo: Kabahayan At Iba Pa which airs every Sunday from 10 to 11 am at DWBL. The station is located at Paragon Plaza building along EDSA corner Reliance streets in Mandaluyong city.

One of the hosts, Donna “Ganda” Raquiza interviewed Wazzup Pilipinas founder Ross Del Rosario about his blogging activities, and his latest stint as a television host for Brand TV Season 2 Travel & Tours: Let’s Unwind.

Ross is proud to share his experiences and accomplishments as a blogger, and is so excited for the upcoming developments or upgrades in his career. True enough, his passion towards blogging has taken him to more opportunities. His aggressiveness may have irked some colleagues who questioned both his ethics and sanity, but that same eagerness or “kapal ng mukha” has given him more rewards that he is so thankful for.

For those who have not been able to follow the career path of Ross, everyone should know that his humble beginnings coupled with the thirst for information and social engagement has led him to more epic achievements unlike those ever achieved by other bloggers that started just almost at the same time as him. 

His secret is probably because he remains an idealist. He never resorts to accepting the culture for he believes we could all do and deserve more. He never tries to follow the trends, or make dirty gimmicks just to increase his numbers. He prefers organic followers who would look for and read his articles because they want to and not because they are obligated to exchange deals with other bloggers. So all those Like, Comments, Sharing exchanges are frowned upon because what it only does is fool the readers of their actual viewership and engagement.

Thank you to the people behind this radio show for recognizing Wazzup Pilipinas as a reliable source of information that could be benefitted by its listeners. With its primary goal to share stories about businesses, specifically focusing on real estate, it is quite surprising that I got invited as a guest.

Why not? Blogging could become one’s source of income as well. We must constantly remind ourselves not to fall victim to selling ourselves short. We should remain vigilant so as not to fall prey to users who would try to use us. If the need to be picky to stay away from defective brands is necessary, we should exert every effort to do so.

The trend to effectively promote almost everything has been very successful through online means, thus many brands are making their online presence strongly felt with the assistance of bloggers or online/social media influencers. The future is ours only if we keep ourselves aligned to what is right and proper, and still have lots of fun while doing it.
