Health Yada Yada

Hello RANTers!

I know, I know. This is my second RANT this week. And you guys might be wondering as to the reason behind I’m having a RANT today.

Honesty speaking, Ms. Janina Santos asked the members of the Philippine Health Bloggers Society(PHBS) to have a press release (This is sometimes called “PR” but I always thought of PlanetRomeo whenever it was abbreviated like that. Geez!) of our Health Blogging Workshop on May 3, 2014.

And since this is a press release of our workshop on Saturday, this will be just a very S-H-O-R-T RANT.

I am sure it will be a fun-filled day for all of us who will be coming to the event.

So, if you guys want to join this workshop, you might as well read this…

"PRESS RELEASE: PHBS, Zoomanity Group to Host Free Health Bloggers Workshop

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, Gardenia, 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 Ms. Grace Bondad Nicolas and nurse blogger and PHBS Founding Chairman Alvin Dakis. 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.
