Wazzup Pilipinas!?
In an age where information floods our screens but authenticity remains rare, WazzupPilipinas.com has carved its name into the annals of digital media—not just as a blog, but as a force. Born from the vision of Ross Flores Del Rosario, a former United Nations ICT officer turned citizen journalist, this once-humble platform has grown into one of the most influential, awarded, and respected community blogs in the Philippines, earning the trust of readers and recognition from institutions across the globe.
What makes this platform extraordinary isn’t just its content—it’s its courage. Unfiltered, unbought, and undeniably Filipino, WazzupPilipinas.com has become the voice of the masses and the mirror of the nation.
A Tapestry of Honors and Distinction
Over the years, WazzupPilipinas.com has amassed an impressive collection of national and international awards, solidifying its status as the country’s most celebrated community blog. It has been hailed as the Best Filipino Community Blog, the Most Influential Digital Platform, and a Trusted Voice in Socio-Political Commentary—recognitions that reflect not just editorial excellence but moral courage and public trust.
From media councils and blogging award bodies to global business excellence institutions, WazzupPilipinas.com continues to stand tall among titans of media. Among its accolades are titles such as:

These awards, earned through years of tireless storytelling, are not vanity—they are validation. They are testament to a platform that chooses truth over trend, community over clicks, and purpose over profit.
Bridging Worlds Through Media Partnerships
Beyond trophies and plaques, WazzupPilipinas.com’s credibility is further affirmed through its strategic and long-standing media partnerships with some of the country’s and region’s most respected institutions and event organizers.
The platform has been a proud media partner of Worldbex Services International (WSI)—the powerhouse behind high-profile expos and conferences that shape the nation’s industries, from Worldbex to design, lifestyle, food and technology expos. WazzupPilipinas.com has stood alongside these influential platforms, amplifying innovation, entrepreneurship, and Filipino ingenuity.
But the support doesn’t end with expos and trade shows. WazzupPilipinas.com has forged deep ties with government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions. It has become a constant collaborator in events hosted by colleges and universities, championing student-led initiatives, youth forums, journalism conferences, and advocacy programs. From state colleges to prestigious private institutions, WazzupPilipinas.com has been the ever-present digital ally of the next generation.
Its partnerships also extend to various government departments, including tourism, culture, science, health, and education sectors, as well as numerous mainstream media outlets—proof that collaboration, not competition, builds stronger narratives.
Soaring Global: A Seat at the World’s Table
WazzupPilipinas.com’s influence is no longer just national—it’s global.
In its most recent milestone, the platform was officially invited to become a Media Partner of Qatar Travel Mart (QTM) 2025, one of the world’s premier gatherings of travel and tourism leaders. Held under the patronage of Qatar’s highest office and supported by Qatar Tourism, the event welcomes hundreds of international buyers, journalists, and thought leaders.
To be recognized alongside world-renowned media outlets at such a prestigious international event is not just an invitation—it is a declaration of global relevance. It signals the world’s acknowledgment that a Filipino voice, powered by authenticity and community, deserves a seat at the global table.
As the platform takes on this role in Qatar, it brings with it stories of the Philippines—its culture, resilience, creativity, and heart.
Beyond the Awards: A Legacy in Motion
What makes WazzupPilipinas.com exceptional is that it never strayed from its roots. Despite its long list of awards and elite partnerships, it continues to engage with the grassroots—championing environmental awareness, calling out injustice, promoting local tourism, amplifying youth voices, and defending the rights of everyday Filipinos.
For its founder Ross Del Rosario, this blog was never about fame—it was about impact.
“Each story we tell is a bridge. Each partnership, a testament. Each award, a responsibility,” says Del Rosario. “WazzupPilipinas.com exists because the people need platforms that speak for them, not above them.”
The Journey Continues
Today, WazzupPilipinas.com stands as more than a blog. It is a movement powered by truth, a network of partnerships driven by purpose, and a platform of integrity in a digital landscape often dominated by noise.
Its journey from the Philippines to the global stage is far from over. If anything, it’s just getting started.
Because when a single blog can influence policy, uplift communities, earn the world's respect, and still remain rooted in people’s stories—you know it’s no longer just a blog.
It’s a legacy.
Ross is known as the Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas - An Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Professional by profession and a Social Media Evangelist by heart.
