IBlog: The Philippine Blogging Summit on it's 10 year now

I'm just uber super duper to the max happy to be part once again of Iblog: The Philippine Blogging Summit which is on its 10th year now under Ms. Janette Toral of Digital Club Filipino and famously known as the Mother of E Commerce.  I will be a speaker/Panelsit again and it's my 4th time as speaker to this amazing convergence of Social Media influencers & for those who are just like to learn, interested or just curious to understand why Social Media is the present and the future in digital marketing, networking, connection or just to use it as a tool in reaching people. 

I can still recall in 2010, as a newbie in Philippine Blogging Community since I started blogging in 1998 in the States using Angelfire & Geocities and as a 1st time speaker at Iblog, it was a memorable event, star struck with the fellow speakers, organizers & emcee who later became my friends. Ms. Janette Toral, little I know then will be the one I will look up to as the one who gave me a break. How will I forget the 1st time I received her email that stated that my proposal as speaker was accepted and everything is history. I screamed with my lungs out.

For this year, celebrating the 10th year of Iblog, I belong now on the 1st day and as from the Iblog official page says, "We have invited speakers who were part of iBlog in the past 10 years and those who have also made a big impact to the blog and social media space." This is way big for me and I am just plain happy to be included & to talk about my passion which is engaging with people as an online writer and digital marketer. 

While on the 2nd day, Iblog accommodated a few topic submissions from first-time iBlog speakers to add that newbie touch while sticking to our theme of retrospective and moving forward.

I am inviting you all on April 4 and 5, 2014 at Malcolm Theater, College of Law, University of the Philippines, Diliman to listen and connect once more with the like minded individuals who might help you too with your endeavor, you never know, because for me, my very good experience, my four years under Iblog was truly amazing. I met all the right people.
