Wazzup Pilipinas!
I’m Ross Flores Del Rosario, the founder and CEO of Wazzup Pilipinas, the most awarded online platform in the Philippines and a highly preferred media partner by brands, government agencies, event organizers, and universities alike. As a travel influencer and content creator, among many other hats that I wear, I've had the privilege to collaborate with a wide range of sectors, including government agencies, LGUs, NGOs, private companies, and educational institutions. Whether as a media partner, resource person, or guest, we’ve consistently shared relevant stories about the Philippines.
Our journey started with platforms like Wazzup Pilipinas TV on 8Trimedia, and I’ve co-hosted shows such as "Vigattin Radio" on Radyo Inquirer. We expanded further during the pandemic, launching our own online shows. I’ve also had the honor of appearing on shows like GMA News TV’s Ang Pinaka where I rated the top festivals in the Philippines, Rated K discussing food trends, and UNTV's Good Morning Kuya where I tackled important topics like fake news. Just recently, on September 26, I was interviewed by DWIZ about my travel blogging journey and the Influencers Tours I’ve been organizing. SMNI also interviewed me at their PaTalk show where I was among the very first to be featured on the show and got to tour their studio.
Wazzup Pilipinas covers everything from Philippine festivals and trade fairs to MSME stories and even features on neighboring countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia—especially where Filipino businesses are involved. While our reach is international, my focus remains on making the Philippines a top destination for both business and leisure, particularly as travel is being revived post-pandemic.
One of my key advocacies is reviving and promoting tourism across the country, especially for municipalities and cities affected by the pandemic. As part of this, I’ve been organizing Influencers Tours to help boost local travel. On September 22-23, we hosted an Influencers Tour in Montalban, and you can check out a news feature on it here: Montalban Tour.
We had many exciting projects lined up. Our Influencers Tour that was scheduled for October 21-23, 2023 in Ilocos Norte, Island hopping with beauty queens from Australia in the Gigantes Islands of Iloilo, exploring Laguna’s farms, and most latest was the CALAX Ocular Tour organized by MPT South.
Our tours aren’t just about destinations—they include accommodation options, heritage sites, local dining spots, and farm-to-plate experiences. We covered events at various destinations, including festivals like the Masskara Festival in Bacolod and a lot more.
I hope you’ll join us on this journey, and we look forward to featuring your brand, hotel, or destination in one of our upcoming stories.
This story focuses on my personal experiences and leadership role in Wazzup Pilipinas while emphasizing the platform’s collaborations, achievements, and ongoing efforts to promote travel and tourism. Of course it doesn't end as life continues...and it's impossible to share everything in one seating.
