2014 Filipino Bloggers Network Christmas Party

Filipino Bloggers Network is a friendly Filipino blogging community with over a thousand members that promotes professionalism and support to each and everyone of its members.


Blogging is a social media platform for online expression.  Anyone from all walks of life can blog and call themselves as a blogger.  Thus, through the years, bloggers in the Philippines are growing in numbers.  I won't deny that through the almost 3 years of my blogging experience, I have encountered negative insights on certain bloggers.  But, to generalize the entire blogging community with its vast number is very wrong.

Last week, I couldn't help but feel the warmth and glee by participating at the 2014 Filipino Bloggers Network Christmas Party.  Amidst the hard rain, floods and heavy traffic, everyone came and delivered their promise of volunteerism for the party to push through.
