Today was indeed not a normal day for me. I don’t usually wake up early for a discussion. Especially if its at 5:00 o’clock in the morning. But because Melanie Heng of ABS-CBN ( a tv network in the Philippines) asked for an interview in their morning show Bagong Umaga, bagong Balita, I did go to the studio. The discussion was about online addiction, internet addiction, addiction to social media sites, online games and other forms of digital distractions that id borne about by the internet. There are instances when kids and the youth are so into social media sites and online games that their behaviour dramatically change over time. Vanj Padilla as interviewee at ABS CBN’s Bagong Umaga, Bagong Balita with Host Melanie Heng They become passive for physical social interaction but aggressive, more violent and less respectful for other people’s rights and immediate environment. They become overly obsessed with their online personas and think that the universe revolves around...

This guy we passed by along the zigzag road in Baguio City was fully utilizing Mother Nature to his advantage. After washing his jeepney from the waterfalls, he started to wash himself too, unmindful of commuters seeing him and taking pictures too, as I did. I know that the water is so cool, but he seems to have enjoyed it. I can imagine how refreshed he is after the activity.

Today I start my FITT Blog under my namesake. You can call me Vanj, from the bountiful province of Pangasinan. I am a digital influencer in my community. My day job is being a communications strategist specializing in social and digital media. When not beating deadlines and not servicing clients, I blog. Among other things, hosting an agriculture and investment walkthrough show are two of my ventures that you will see here on later posts. Recent Food Tour adventure, Bangsal's Pinoy  Boodle Meal I chose to blog about FOOD, INVESTMENT, TOURISM and TECHNOLOGY because its my passion.  My friends call me " laging gutom " ( always hungry ) because wherever I go, food is always an attraction for me. I am constantly looking for unique food offerings in a place.  When travelling, I always assess the economic activity or non-activity of a place. Then see what they have or what they don't. What they need and what would be profitable here. What is abundant and w...

We are living in a highly modernized and technologically advanced world, where almost any industry is now using and reliant upon digital communications. Mainstream media is evolving and digital marketers, promoters, online publishers are some of the jobs that are in demand in the marketplace. Bloggers are now considered influencers and their authority and relevance are highly recognized in communicating brands to their target markets. Being a Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur can equip you with necessary skills and knowledge to start your own service business like I did. I was one of the early adopters of this online learning program, belonging to the first batch in 2010. Coming from the mainstream media industry, radio broadcast and journalism, I thought that if I don’t innovate and upgrade myself, I will be left out and wake up one day under the UNEMPLOYMENT and OBSOLESCENCE TENT. So I invested in myself then, sacrificing my paycheck to finance this program which costs P2...

We are moving into the e-commerce era and we are a nation gradually turning into virtual or mobile payment systems. Cashless shopping is now embraced by uber mobile consumers and its a relief that GCASH is around. I’m a fan of cashless shopping since it is very convenient. Just bring your phone, your shopping list, look for their merchant partners and you’re good to go. I always wanted to redeem Globe rewards like GCs and movies, but I don’t have enough points. Now that holiday seasons are fast approaching, family celebrations, shopping and movies are bonding activities to look forward to. Its good that Globe allows us until January 30 to convert GCash into Globe Rewards points. I can convert P25 Gcash into 20 Rewards points. Just by following these simple steps Just call *143# and follow the instructions on your phone on how to convert GCASH into Globe rewards points. For more info, you may refer and click this link . Here’s learning with Bianca and Pocholo abo...

I heard this exciting news from a friend, and since a Baguio beat isn’t always on a schedule of a busy woman like I am, indulging in with a treat for a bargain, bonus of a cold weather, is something I won’t pass. My shudder for shopping is undeniable. And like what all women say, shopping is a woman’s thing. You can’t blame me. I unwittingly consider shopping as a strategy to bring myself into sharper focus. When I speak at an event, I am fuelled by the belief that a perfect top, a belt, and a pair of shoes reflects who you are, especially in the professional sphere. But beyond that, I also enjoy the pleasure of the purchase itself, especially when sales are around the corner. Buying something on sale is a very special feeling. In fact, the less I pay for something, the more its worth is realized (not that I don’t value my other assets). So what’s in store for us this coming October 18th to 20th at the biggest mall in the summer capital city, SM City Baguio? Get ready to rejo...
