Robert L. Yupangco- CEO of  Zoomanity Group

"We have started talks with planners to design the sanctuary of Mali, taking into account her physical condition and her space requirements. We will provide her with adequate food, shelter and a vast enclosure. 30- 50 hectares will be allocated to Mali in a forfeited area which will simulate her natural habitat." According to Zoomanity Group reply to the questions I sent to Robert Yupangco.

Mayor Joseph "Erap"  Estrada of Manila granted Yupangco request to transfer Mali temporarily to his Zoobic Safari Theme Park at Zambales inside the Subic Freefort Zone. Zoobic Safari is composed of 50 hectares of land while Robert Yupangco is expert in taking care of animals.

"The issue of Mali has attracted both national and international attention because of the animal welfare aspect and the celebrities who have declared their stand on it. We in Zoomanity are happy to be able to offer a win-win solution to this long- standing controversy." - Zoomanity Group.

Mali is the talk of the town and reached International celebrities. Check out what our local celebrities have to say when I asked them about their comment about the move to Zoobic Safari.

Carlos Celdran ( Manila Chief of Tourism and Famous Manila Tour guide)

"Im happy that there are so many people who cares about Mali."

Bert Guevarra (Earth Day Network Philippines President)

“Even people need to reconnect with nature; much more for Mali who hasn't been out of his cage for years. He needs a vacation. “

Chuckie Dreyfus (Actor)

“I don't mind as long as Mali can get better care and attention there. He needs to have ample space to roam and hopefully other elephants too.”

Ian Angelo King (Hotelier)

“Mali is old and transporting her might put her in shock. I think the people at the zoo know what they are doing and she belongs there. “

Ana Santos (Entrepreneur- Picture City)

“As long as there's a guarantee moving him won't cause Mali any distress, am fine with it.”

It's another milestone for the former President of the Philippines now incumbent Mayor Joseph "Erap" Estrada.

The 2nd Laguna Blogging Summit 2013 will be this coming October 15 and 16 and will start at 8am to 5pm at the Cultural Center of Laguna which is located at the Municipality of Santa Cruz, the capital town of the province of Laguna under Governor Jeorge “ER” Ejercito.

Organizers and Speakers 1st major meeting at Gallileia Events Center and sponsored by 100 Miles Cafe

The theme this year is Social Revolutionist, a theme appropriate for what’s happening today. People are not only using Social Media to promote their products or services or just to hook up with their friends, they are also using it for political campaigns, advocacies and even finding a job. Social Media revolution is happening and we can see people gathering like-minded individuals to form a group with same beliefs and with the use of Social platforms like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn and continuing it offline. There are so many professionals and advocacy groups right now who are formed from Facebook accounts and benefited from it. We are bringing these  experts to Laguna and we are hoping my fellow Lagueno will learn from them.”  According to Engr. Grace Bondad Nicolas, the lead organizer of this event.

100 Miles Cafe is located at For tPointe Building, 2nd Floor, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

More or less 700 attendees are expected to attend per day. Last year, total of 1500 participants which were composed of Students, Professors, bloggers and media practitioners enjoyed, experienced and became more aware about the advantage of Digital Marketing, Social Media and Branding.

 Galileia Events Place is located at Fort Pointe Building, 2nd Floor, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

“This year, we added a new set of speakers like Carlos Celdran who is the new Manila Chief of Tourism, we are expecting that he will share his knowledge, expertise and experience of the effectiveness of Social Media in Tourism and him being the man who won a lot of awards because of his advocacy.” Nicolas said.

This year, notable and famous speakers again are supporting the Laguna Blogging Summit, to name a few, they are Janette Toral, Alvin Cloyd Dakis, James Jimenez, Art Samaniego Jr, Randell Tiongson, Pocholo De Leon Gonzales, Lloyd Luna and Eyriche Cortez.

” There’s nothing more remarkable gesture these days than seeing collaborative efforts in flesh that made 1Labs possible. In a generation where Internet is no longer a source of pleasure but a source of information that can improve the lives of those who use it, such an event is commendable. 1Labs was a gathering of like-minded individuals whose passion for innovation is core and commitment to move the people closer to the wonder of technologies is evident.”– Motivational Blogger, Speaker, and Author Lloyd Luna of http://www.lloydluna.com

“1LABS was a blast! I learned so much from both the speakers and the participants, that I think this should be a model of social media engagement for other local governments to follow. To make a long story short,  I can’t wait for the next one!” –COMELEC Director James Jimenez
