Craft: Molding the Lore of Marketing Wizards Post-Event Highlights

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last September 16, PUP-Junior Marketing Executives had its academic mentoring seminar entitled "Craft: Molding the Lore of Marketing Wizards" at Claro M. Recto Hall. It was attended by 300 students from PUP Marketing Management and 50 from partner schools.

The mentors which are the highlight of the event molded the lore of the students by giving them humorous but knowledgeable ideas about their respective topics that made the event more exciting.

Mr. Lloyd Luna, who named as the Pambansang Inspirasyon, tackled "Personal Branding" which gives the students an impact on how to develop their personal brand as an individual.

Mr. Jigo Reloj, a Digital Strategist of ABS-CBN, discussed about "Digital Marketing" which is timely and relevant on our generation. It made the students learn different stategies that they can use in their future businesses.

It was successfully conducted with the help of their adviser, alumni, faculty members, and the whole PUP-JME family. Ofcourse it wouldn't be possible without their generous sponsors namely Loyal Coin, Budgetarian Travel Services, Zest-o, Smart, TNT, Wazzup Pilipinas, Techkuya, Astig.ph.

Wazzup Pilipinas Awarded with Hall of Fame for Most Outstanding Social Media Influencer

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Hall of Fame is a huge feat because being consistently awesome is difficult and rare! But at Wazzup Pilipinas, we live and breathe to excel above and beyond the standards. We break barriers to stand out among the online noise.

We would like to thank the Best Choice Awards council for conferring to Wazzup Pilipinas a Hall of Fame recognition as Most Outstanding Social Media Influencer for having been awarded for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019.

The awards night was held at the Richmonde Hotel Eastwood in Libis, Quezon City just recently this September 14, with an impressive list of celebrity performers and co-awardees from many industries.

Leading the line-up of talented performers were the TNT Boys, the kid trio with their amazing voices. There were also Anthony Rosaldo and Mikee Quintos who also wowed the crowd with their powerful voices. The Manila Tron Dancers were the ones who started the mood that night with their night glow opening performance, followed by the disco beat singing of Osang Soliven, Betong Sumaya, Dace David, and Twity Bird, and Lassy who made us all laugh with his crazy antics with a Canadian guest. He got a P1000 for his joke! Seriously, engaging with the audience is still an effective way to please the audience.

The traditional cake slicing and wine toasting was expected as they have always been part of the opening ceremonies. This was participated in by not to forget MMDA Spokesperson Celine Pialago, who has always been a stunner even in her casual outfits (but tonight she was elegantly gorgeous as ever that I was too shy to request a selfie with her) together with the Best Choice Awards Council and other VIP guests.

But tonight was Wow! Look at the cake with projected moving images on it. This is the first time I've seen cake mapping!, and the stylish setup - a blue, silver and gold color combo theme tonight  So elegant!

Tonight we feel like royalties! This is better than attending the Star Magic Ball because here we were all stars, not just the celebrity performers for tonight. This is the biggest salvo in business and achievement awards!

Hosting the night were Beauty Queen Chole Florendo and Voice-over Jun Dumlao - a pleasing to the eyes and ears combination.

Congratulations to the "Pambansang Blog ng Pilipinas" for another milestone. We are definitely humbled but extremely proud.

It is heartwarming that our humble beginnings way back 2013 was the birth of a courageous expression guised in the form of a blog which evolved into more than just another online presence.

This was only possible because of our followers and "partners" who supported us throughout the years

With so many collaborations like media partnerships for both local and international brands, TV and radio guestings, as resource person or speaker, and even judging and event coordinations, event, presscon and media launch invites, product and service reviews, personality features, out-of-town and country coverage and features, with local and international contributors, advocacy boosts and promitional campaigns, and the numerous awards from different award-giving bodies,we are proud to be among the highly recognized online presence in the country.

Thank you for the trust!

We all wanted be the very best — like no one ever was!

Do you want to be a blogging master?

How do we master the art of blogging?

How do we accelerate our blog growth very quickly with proven & best strategies to increase our business earning opportunities?

Once again, we are happy to serve you.
