My iBlog 5 Aftermath

 

 

I of all people will admit it’s not easy to wake up on a Saturday and drag myself to go to Quezon City. But since I know that iblog is an important event. I was glad to make an exception.

9:45 – 10:05 Photo Blogging 101 (Faith Salazar and Fritz Tentativa)

Very informative I really learned a lot from them. I liked the tips

that they gave. Somehow it affirmed my believe that It’s the talent that 

counts and not the equipment.

They said that it really helps if you have a great online reputation.

AFTERNOON SESSION

1:00 – 1:20 Legal issues in Blogging (Atty. JJ Disini)

I really loved this talk and wished that his time was longer than the others.

He was really so good and he answered the tricky  question really,really well.

1:30 – 2:15 Preparing Bloggers for the 2010 Elections

 COMELEC on Blogging & Bloggers (Dir. James Jimenez, COMELEC-EID Director)

I really enjoyed his talk, he was very  funny and very candid. He answered the questions

really,really well

- Citizen Journalism for the 2010 Elections (Oliver Robillo, NAMFREL Chairman – Davao City)

- The Bloggers Election Handbook project release (Janette Toral)

Since Blogie was absent Ms Janette Handled the two topics

She was great and explained everything really well. I too want to get involved and do my part but I don’t know

where to start or where to go to help with the elections.

2:30 – 3:30 Blog Advertising Situation in the Philippines (Mannix Pabalan – AyosDito, 

His talk was great he explained it a lot. And I really hope that AyosDito will prosper here like what happened with

their site in Malaysia.

Kristine Mandigma – Philippine Online Chronicles,

She did not say anything about Blog Advertising just talked about what their site was all about.

 Laszlo Lim, Business Development Head – Yehey, 

He talked about how events really work and what the client is looking for. Very enlightening talk

Jayvee Fernandez and Eric Ramirez

Great talk and I’m really hoping that I get ads from Blogbank and Nuffnang really sooner than later

4:15 – 4:45 Blogging to the Next Level (Fitz Villafuerte and Anton Diaz)

Fitz gave great advice about pro-blogging. These are the things that pro-bloggers will tend to keep to themselves 

and not share with us lesser known mortal bloggers. Very,very helpful!!!

Anton Diaz tackled about the 4 stages of blogger evolution: Artist -> Advocate -> Entrepreneur -> Maven. 

The goal is to get to the Maven stage and it’s not easy to do it but with hard work and lots and lots of effort nothing

is impossible.
