Janina: This is it, pancit! PHBS blogging workshop is this week and I am so excited! So much so that I have three consecutive sentences ending in exclamation points!
First, I would like to thank the wonderful people I am working with to make this event possible: Ate Grace Nicolas for hooking us up with our awesome partners; Ate Jofti Villena for all your hard work in coordinating with our speakers; and my bhebhe Drei dela Cruz, for being the catalyst of this event, for helping us make the certificates and posters, for finding sponsors, and for being one of the best people I get to work with. Mahal ko kayo *Ms. Universe Wave*.
On with the press release!
To
hone the skills of online influencers of health, the Philippine Health Bloggers
Society has partnered with Zoomanity
Group to hold its first ever workshop, Blogging for Health and Wellness.
The free event will be held on May 3, from 7AM to 4PM. Health bloggers will be
in touch with nature as they spend the day learning and relaxing in Paradizoo,
Tagaytay City.
“Social media and blogging are powerful
platforms for advocating for health,” said PHBS president Janina Santos, who is
also speaking at the workshop. “This initiative is truly a group effort of the
Society. Our working group has been very passionate in putting this thing
together. But of course, this would not have been possible without all
wonderful people supporting our cause.”
Health
bloggers are in for a treat as their transportation, venue, and food are
shouldered by Zoomanity Group, while
top brands in the business industry such as Elabram
Systems Group, Gardenia Bread Philippines, Inc., Victoria Court, and GLI have also offered support. The
event shall be covered by media partners FAME
Publishing, Tribune Post, and Kipling Times.
Blogging
for Health and Wellness
also features speakers from the blogging and journalism industry who have years
of experience and knowledge to share. Included in the roster of trainers is Ms.
Inday Verona-Espina, Campaigns Director for the Philippines of Change.org, and
Michaela Sarah De Leon of Health Beat Magazine. Joining them are marketing and
brand specialist Engr. Grace Bondad Nicolas, nurse blogger and PHBS Founding
Chairman Alvin Dakis, and PHBS President Janina Santos. The workshop will cover topics like starting a blog,
making profit from one’s blog, creating good content, and, something every
veteran and newbie blogger should know, the intricacies on online libel.
The
Blogging
for Health and Wellness workshop is one of the many activities the PHBS
is planning to help build a community of online influencers who will advocate
for health.
