In the the last 29 years of my life I’ve been to a lot of product launches and events. I’ve been to product launches in and out of the Philippines.

It’s amazing how TV5 has grown so much in the last year. I’ve been with the company for 1 year now (joined December 2010) and there’s now better way to cap this year off than by watching the TV5 Christmas Station ID. I think this video shows the aggressive nature of the company as well [...]

Hopefully I’ll still be [...]
So… Bench will donate 1 million pesos to a charity if their endorser, Dingdong Dantes, gets 1 million followers on Twitter. In all honesty I don’t think Dingdong needs a promo to reach 1M given his popularity. All he has to do is to ask help from his other celebrity friends to tweet to their [...]

For some unexplainable reason my personal account was no longer there. I could still access the pages that I was admin for but [...]

Fundamentals of Social Media Talk at KBP I was invited by the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) to give a quick talk and a forum about the basics of social media marketing. Since I’m currently with TV5 (a KBP member), I immediately said yes! It was also a first for me to talk [...]

One of the biggest announcements made during the Youtube Philippines launch was the World View interview of President Noynoy Aquino. This was definitely a welcome development since it showed that the Pnoy administration was open to doing out-of-the-box ideas like this one. The interview was also supported with TV and online plugs. However despite all [...]
A few days ago we posted a story saying that international group Akamai pegged the average Filipino internet speed at 1.2 Mbps.

I log-on to Facebook daily and one of the things that keep popping up on my News Feed is the update that shows what my friends have read on Facebook. Apparently Yahoo is the only site taking advantage of this feature for now since they’re the only ones I see on my stream via this [...]
