Vigattin Radio once again provided us an interesting topic last Saturday with guest bloggers from blogging community Wazzup Pilipinas. They talked about their blogging experiences and introduced their upcoming show. The episode is a preparation for their new radio program titled “e-Blog Mo Na Yan.” With anchors Den Macaranas, Arne Bacelo and Mr. Elison Barcelo.

Their esteemed guests are Pepi de Leon of KampeonNgPagibig.com, Ross Del Rosario, founder of WazzupPilipinas.com, Ronnie Bernardo of health and wellness blog HeliconProjects.com, Rey Esteves of BoyRaket.blogspot.com and Mars Callo owner of yourhappycamper.wordpress.com.

They talked about blogging as an alternative form of media. It is a new medium where one can read the latest news, events, affairs etc. instead of the traditional media (tv, radio and newspaper). Vigattin Radio then asked them on how they started blogging.  

The first to answer was Ross del Rosario, he told Vigattin Radio that it is his advocacy to promote the Philippines so what he did is he affiliated with other bloggers to promote destinations, events and happenings here in the Philippines that can help the country’s economy. He added that he has been influenced by Ms. Janette Toral, a known blogger.

The next to answer was Ronni Bernardo; he told us that it’s his passion to promote indigenous healing practices where natural medicine should be available to the people. He used blogging as his outlet in sharing what he learned when studying medical technology and also the experiences he gained in his profession. He continued that he also keeps on improving his writing and photography skills.


Pepi de Leon then told Vigattin Radio that he got the name Kampeon ng Pag-ibig from their group in high school. The first contents of his blog are the love letters that he was not able to give to his previous lover. “We already break, so why would I give it to her? I would just blog about it and she might be reading my blog,” he said.

Afterwards, Rey Esteves told us that he originally started his blog in 2010 and was not able to update it for a couple of months or years. He started it because he wants to share some business and job opportunities to the people so he named his blog “Boy Raket”. He plans on featuring some ordinary people on his blog.

Vigattin Radio then asked if there’s money on blogging. Ross answered that it’s not all about money but it’s about the passion that you want and through blogging you can even be invited by some persons on their events. “We are not thinking if they will pay us, it is a big part for us to go to those places for free. It’s on them if they will provide us some financial assistance or not,” he said.

They later talked about how advertising works on blogsites, does a company can dictate them to have a good review of their products and services? Ronnie told Vigattin Radio that it’s part of their advocacy to review any products or services of a certain company in a true way. “It should align with our advocacy and as much as possible, you should be the one that will try their products or services so that your readers will believe it,” he uttered.

Ross added that bloggers should not wait for an approval for a company to publish their blog. He said, “They should write a review for the product honestly. If it’s dictated by a certain company, it’s not blogging it’s already a press release and just an extension of what the company likes.”  He added that it’s not appropriate for them to have some company-dictated blogs.


They later give some blogging tips before the show ended. Ronnie told the listeners to be truthful in what you write and you should mind your content. “It is important that you know what you are saying, you have your own authority to present it.” He added that through blogging, you can do something worthwhile and you can even go to events without costing you a dime.


Rey told us that in blogging, you should express yourself. “It’s an open diary about a certain subject or company. You should relate your blog to the niche you choose so that you readers can interact with it.” You should also improve your skills in writing and photography and you need to do your best when blogging.

The next to give some advice is Ross, he told us that “Blogging is all about you and your experience.” He added that you should write in your personal point of view, personal thoughts just like a diary of what you experience.  “You should need to express everything, from what you feel and you should put your heart and mind into it. That is the right way of blogging,” he concluded.

The last to give some blogging tip is Pepi, he told Vigattin Radio that “You should not stop on what you have written, mind what you write. It will just come up. Even you have just a few readers, they can relate with it. It’s not just about the readers; it’s also about you to be an expert of this field. You should do it every day to be a successful blogger.”

The show ended providing us the necessary information about blogging. The bloggers will soon have their own radio program that is titled “e-Blog Mo Na Yan” that will provide topics that are related to blogging. It will be produced by Mr. Vigattin Elison Barcelo.  So tune in to Vigattin Radio at Radyo Inquirer DZIQ 990 AM between 10 to 11 am for more updates on the upcoming show.
