Wazzup Pilipinas Bloggers: Special Guests at Vigattin Radio Show of Radyo Inquirer


We have witnessed how tri-media (print, radio and TV) networks have crossed over new media (blogs and social media networks) to share their news. Bloggers have also been doing the same as they now penetrate the mentioned news and entertainment sources. Many bloggers have written for newspapers and magazines and been interviewed and guested on TV and radio shows. It seems blogging has reached a new level as many bloggers are really investing on better ways to share their stories online, and now embracing other mediums to gain access to a wider audience.

Bloggers from the Wazzup Pilipinas community were given the opportunity to guest at the Vigattin Radio Show of Radyo Inquirer DZIQ 990 AM last July 12, 2014 during the 10 to 11 am time slot. Thank you to Elison Barcelo, CEO of of Vigattin Inc. and co-anchors Den Macaranas and Arne Bacelo for allowing Ross Del Rosario of Wazzup Pilipinas to bring along other bloggers to share the spotlight. If Ross was all alone there being interviewed, he would have suffered terribly from “mental block,” “stage fright”, and who knows what else. It was great to have fellow bloggers with him as it was more comfortable to talk while they had fun temporary ruling the airwaves that day.

Pepi De Leon of Kampeon Ng Pag-Ibig, Rey Estevez of Boy Raket, Ronnie Bernardo of Helicon Projects and of course, Ross Del Rosario of Wazzup Pilipinas were interviewed about their lives as a blogger – how they got started, what influenced them to start blogging, to answer the question “Is there money in blogging,” and other topics circling the blogosphere including an on-the-spot blogging-on-air task given by the radio anchors.

Say Yes to San Jose: Let NSJBI Build Your Dreams For You


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Dreaming of having your own home, then you should wake up now and head on over to any of the properties developed by New San Jose Builders, Inc. (NSJBI)!

The renowned Filipino property developer headed by its chairman, Mr. Jose Acuzar recently launched a heightened campaign to reach more Filipinos and provide them with quality yet affordable homes.

Honestly, its my first time to hear about this developer but I've heard the name of Mr. Acuzar already. It seems reputation precedes him as the man behind the properties is more famous than his creations.

New San Jose Builders, Inc from its humble beginning back in 1986 as a contractor of government projects, it has already diversified to include residential and condominium properties that are communities with a higher standard of living. It begins with a strong foundation brought about by the patron saint from which the company was named after - Saint Joseph, the carpenter.

BPI Offers Free Access to BPI Express Mobile App to Globe Subscribers



The BPI Express Mobile app, the most downloaded finance app in the country, becomes even more accessible, as the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) today launches free access to the widely used app to Globe Telecom’s over 38 million prepaid, postpaid and TM customers.

From April 30 to August 31, 2014, Globe subscribers will enjoy having no data charges whenever they log on and transact using the BPI Express Mobile app.

“BPI has always been at the forefront of introducing new channels for our clients to access their accounts conveniently. The BPI Express Mobile app, our latest innovation, is doing very well. Since its re-launch in June last year, it has consistently been the number one downloaded finance app in the country,” says SVP Manuel C. Tagaza, Electronic Channels Group Head.

“In line with the Bank’s new corporate slogan, ‘Make the Best Happen,’ we not only want to offer the best mobile banking channel in the country; we also want to make mobile banking even more accessible by providing free access to all Globe and TM subscribers–no service fee to transact, no data charges to access. This is definitely another milestone for us.”

“This partnership with BPI enforces our customers’ digital lifestyles, where access to the mobile phone is not just about calls and texts, but financial services as well. With the growing smartphone users, more customers will definitely benefit from this wonderful service using our robust mobile data network with the largest 4G coverage nationwide, giving subscribers faster and seamless connectivity and making the banking experience more convenient through the use of a smartphone,” says Daniel Horan, Senior Advisor for Consumer Business at Globe. “From offering our subscribers free online services, we want to get more Filipinos online and fully embrace the smartphone and data revolution. With the free access to the BPI Express Mobile app, banking has become easier, more convenient, and definitely more affordable.”



With just a swipe of the finger

Mobile banking has never been more accessible, with the prevalent use of smartphones in the country. With the BPI Express Mobile app, instead of queuing in bank branches, users can complete banking transactions using their mobile phones in as fast as 30 seconds.

With the BPI Express Mobile app, people can pay their bills, transfer money to other BPI clients, invest, and reload their prepaid phone–wherever they are, whenever they want.

“The BPI Express Mobile app lets you track your finances conveniently. And when you have a 24/7 view of where your money is going, you can manage it easily and wisely,” explains Tagaza.

With the power of the Southeast Asia’s first bank in your pocket, you can make your budgeting less of a chore and kiss unaccounted-for expenses goodbye.


The power of banking within easy reach


This promo is another first for both BPI and Globe, with both companies being at the forefront of innovation in banking and telecommunications.

“Globe is the perfect provider to help us in this project because their services have always been focused on helping people by bringing them together through telecommunication,” says Tagaza. “We have the same aim, that is, to help people live their lives better.”

The BPI Express Mobile app can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store, Google Play, and Blackberry App World. Downloading the app itself will accumulate corresponding data charges. More information about the promo can be found on www.bpiexpressonline.com.
