Why Are the Filipinos and the World in Love with J. Lin

2012-02-16T16:57:00.000-08:00

The local news industry included Lin in their news reporting and why not Jeremy Lin with jersey number 17 shows a lot of things Filipinos like us are easy to fall in love with.

1. We Love Underdogs

J. Lin is an ultimate underdog. Nobody expected him to rise from the stature that he is now enjoying. He battled all odds to be part of the starting five. Now the New York Knicks is enjoying a winning streak they never had experienced the previous year.

2. We Love Hardworkers

J.Lin is not a flashy guy but he works hard and thinks hard to be at the top of his game. This is what Filipinos are not flashy but works and thinks hard to deliver above normal results. Watching J.Lin reminds us who we are in our relationship with life.

3. We Love People that rises beyond the rubble of life and be successful

J. Lin ‘s story is just beginning but it is enough for us to make him a hero. He showed that the human spirit can triumph against the harshest challenges that life can offer. In his case, being cut twice by NBA teams and sleeping in the sofa o of his relative and co-player just to pursue his hoops dream.

4. We Love Humble People

Despite the success he remains grounded. He acknowledges the coach as the key to his success and his teammates as the most important element of winning than his individual contribution. Even the frenzy that surrounds him he does not allow to enter his mind. He remains humble and hardworking.

5. We Love Asians

In this basketball crazy country who dreams of winning an Olympic Gold Medal and sending a Filipino into the NBA. J. Lin is an inspiration. He is an Asian. He’s height and physique just like Filipinos. He showed it is possible and doable.

THEME: “Taking Advantage of Tourism by having a strong MICE

Fundamentals”

DATE: March 28, 2011

RATIONALE:

The development in the region is forcing the country to be more open and keep up with our neighboring countries. This is evident in the Tourism Sector, the lowering of the travel tax, the imminent transfer of International flights to NAIA 3, the budget allocation for the repair of NAIA 2, and the expansion in Clark where another International Airport that can accept a bigger number of tourists are just some of the numerous good news for the tourism industry.

The new Department of Tourism logo “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” is a social media rock star that needed concrete actions to transform it into economic gains for our country. The logo built a tourism momentum and this force we need to be prepared in order to maximize it.

It is with this landscape that a prepared and educated MICE professionals are needed. It is with this backdrop that educating and training the next MICE professionals is a must and an obligation among the existing MICE professionals.

5 Reasons Why Event Promotion is Here to Stay!

2012-02-01T07:34:00.000-08:00

A lot of changes had taken place in the marketing landscape. But more of the changes are in the online arena where social media is dominating it.

The dominance of social media changed our behavior. However, the change in behavior does not mean we jump the bandwagon and pour all our resources in marketing our products and services in this new domain.

Surprisingly, it is in these times of great change that event promotions are very much needed and in demand. Here are the top 5 reasons why?

1. Best Way to Engage Market

The one-on-one platform provided by event promotion allows seller to convince buyer on all the benefits that a certain product or service possess. Also, all the questions of the buyers are addressed instantly. The moments created by events are so intimate that the engagement is way of the roof.

2. Best Way to Generate Feedback

Being at the moment, means that you have the opportunity to get immediate feedbacks to buyers and new markets. This precious benefit if use wisely can give you a bang to your investment in event promotions. It is like having a free market research because all the target market you wanted to be with are there giving their quick feedback once your engagement begins with them.

3. Best Way to Generate Sales Leads

People give their time and attention to an event because they are interested in your products and services. You don’t force them to go in the place of your event. They go there because they wanted to and they see something in your products and services. Ergo, they can be the leads that you want and a hot leads at that!

4.Best Way to Expand Network

Man is a social animal and events give this important need. This also brings us to expanding our social network better than facebook or other social media because you meet the people in person and there is always something magical to the actual shaking of the hand and exchange of smiles and pleasantries. Indeed, what you generate here are live network that you can tap anytime you wanted it because they know you personally.

5. Best Way to Create and Renew Relationships

Again, we are social animals that thrive on face-to-face encounters. Humans create strong relationships when they see each other. Events are venue to create new relationships and renew old relationships. In fact, all markets hunger for a real presence of the products and services we are carrying. No other platform can claim the deeper relationships events provide.

As a conclusion, events are here to stay because it is part of us. No matter what gadgets or applications are invented human relationships will still be best created in events, this is why event promotion is here to stay and will never be obsolete.

ASAP SENDONG Event Slated

2012-01-18T22:49:00.000-08:00

Once again, Mother Nature reminds us how fragile life is. With one calamitous sweep of wind and rain, the world’s deadliest typhoon of 2011 hit land on the thriving cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro in mid-December, striking at the dead of night.

At its wake, Typhoon Sendong caused the death of 1,500 while over 500 are still missing.   It cleared and buried 42,000 homes, leaving nearly 55,000 individuals from more than 5,500 families in evacuation centers. Homeless and desolate, victims of Sendong now rely on the warmth of a kind hug and the reassurance of a helping hand.

Known for its bayanihan spirit, feisty Filipinos were up and ready to provide food and water, basic necessities and medicine.   As with Typhoon Ondoy in 2009, everyone was eager to do their own little bit to help.

Members of Advertising Suppliers Association of the Philippines, along with friends from the United Print Media Group, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas and the Philippine Association of National Advertisers, as well as the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of the Philippines, the Independent Blocktimers Association and the Technical Group for Events and Entertainment of the Philippines join forces to create one meaningful fund-raiser to sustain Sendong relief efforts.

This powerhouse group of the country’s advertising industry is Cause I’m Sendong All My Love for You, so to speak, in a variety show and concert on January 28 at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.   Supported by the Quezon City local government, and with performances by local artists also on a mission to spread hope, Cause I’m Sendong All My Love for You is sure to be a massive endeavor.

Aimed at generating P1.5 million through a variety of sponsorship packages from P10,000 to P100,000, sponsors are invited to send their donations to Cause I’m Sendong All My Love for You fund-raising concert. All proceeds from sponsorships and donations will be coursed through the Pelaez Foundation and the Philippine National Red Cross.   Typhoon victims still in desperate need of assistance will benefit through shelter rehabilitation and home building projects.

‘Cause I’m Sendong All My Love for You is a one-of-a-kind production crafted specially by topnotch industry leaders who have pledged their involvement and services in full commitment in the spirit of hope and goodwill. -*-

Sustainability

2012-01-12T19:44:00.001-08:00

Now that the global warming effects are being felt greatly. It is time to apply the iron hand in implementing the Green Economy.

In Tourism, it is always wrong to improve a site if you will destroy it's natural beauty. A wrong sense of tourism that will keep away tourists.

The point is to start and after that the rest becomes easy.

A Fresh and Fun Way To Start Philippine Tourism

2012-01-06T17:36:00.000-08:00

The new logo of the Department of Tourism gained a lot of positive feedback from the industry and around the country.

Indeed, it depicts who we are as a people.

Now as Senator Dick Gordon commented beyond the logo is the infrastructure and preparation to deliver the promise. Our tourism system must be solid to welcome the influx of tourists.

May I humbly suggest the following:

1. Finish and ensure the Clark Airport is a world class infrastructure.

2. Transfer International Flights to NAIA 3.

3. Renovate or Sell NAIA 1.

4. Give Incentives to local MICE Companies.

5. Bid for International Events Aggresively.

I will expound the importance of all these recommendations in succeeding blogs. For now this will be enough.

I strongly believe It's More Fun in the Philippines!

MegaBalikbayan OFW Expo Opens with a Bang!

2011-12-09T20:46:00.001-08:00

The rain never stopped yesterday. The whole day is like going to the bathroom and taking a shower. The city landscape is gray. The roads are like a glass window. For some, it is a gloomy day. Another wet and cold day aggravated by the terrible metro traffic.

On the other side, the rain is a blessing. A continuous rain is a continuous blessing of life. Rain cleans the air of pollution and increase the level of oxygen.

In one part of the city, this is what took place in Megatrade. A Blessing was opened the MegaBalikbayan OFW Expo – an event promoting entrepreneurship and business to OFWs and Balikbayan.

The event has more than 250 exhibitors. The exhibitors are showcasing different business opportunities to the OFW and Balikbayan. This is a contrast to what is happening in the lower floors of the venue where a Christmas Sale is going on.

In the event, investment is being promoted and below spending.

Yesterday, the first activity of the event is the awarding of the 2011 Outstanding OFW and Balikbayan Reputation Award (OBRA). An award that aims to recognize OFW and Balikbayan models of inspiration to the following category: Entrepreneurship, Community Builder, Family Builder, Positive Character/Deed, and Work Ethics.

More than the awardees receiving their plaques, the precious moment in the awarding ceremony are the story telling of the awardees on their struggle to be successful and triumphant in the challenges of life.

The awardees stories can energize you to go to greater heights. Their stories can also make you cry and refreshed your soul with the understanding of how human spirit’s power move mountains.

The MegaBalikbayan OFW Expo happens every year and always attracts a lot of visitors and exhibitors. But more than these two elements the event happens to be a strong statement that OFWs and Balikbayan must shift to being entrepreneurs. This is the only path that can ensure sustainability of the quality of life that OFW and Balikbayan have gained.

The event runs today and tomorrow. If you wanted to be inspired or be an entrepreneur then by all means do not miss any moment and be inside the event and basked at the different things that you can see, hear and feel.
