Sex Tour 4.0 for Bloggers- Bigger. Better. Bolder.

Posted by bariles On February - 6 - 2012 10 COMMENTS

The Soccsksargen EXperience Tour for Bloggers must have already made an impression in the Philippine blogosphere that by the time we have started planning for its 4th installment which is still due in September this year, I have already received enquiries from bloggers.

The SEX Tour was started out in September 2010 by GenSan News Online Mag & GandaEverSoMuch as an alternative activity for a group of Manila-based bloggers who flew to General Santos City at that time but were left with nothing to do since their original reason of coming here, the Tuna Festival was moved to a later schedule.

"THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE FIRST SEX TOUR AT LAKE SEBU, SEPTEMBER 2010."

Guided by the success of the Soccsksargen Summer Safari in May 2010 participated in by more than 20 bloggers from Cagayan de Oro, Davao and GenSan, we immediately devised a similar albeit simpler tour package for them and called it the SEX Tour, short for Soccsksargen EXperience Tour.

"A JUMPSHOT FROM THE SEX TOUR 2.0 BLOGGER PARTICIPANTS AT THE 5TH MOUNTAIN OF BALAKAYO ADVENTURE PARK. FEBRUARY 2011."

Needless to say, that initial SEX Tour was such a smashing success that we followed it up with a SEX Tour 2.0in February 2011.   A 3rd version,  the  SEX Tour Tresin September 2011 was also hatched.

All these three SEX Tours did wonders in promoting South Central Mindanao by highlighting its eco/industrial tourism potentials, OTOP products and services of world-class calibre plus its bounty of  heavenly gastronomic delights!

(We will be sharing the blog posts from the participants of the SEX Tour Tres in a future feature so watch out for it.)

"MORE BLOGGERS CAME FOR THE SEX TOUR TRES IN SEPTEMBER 2011. THIS WAS SHOT AT THE GAISANO MALL OF GENSAN, A SEX TOUR PITSTOP & PARTNER"

And now for SEX Tour 4.0, we are expanding the itinerary to include more pitstops and adventours on a larger scale!

This time, as organized by Project O! Consultants,  SEX Tour 4.0 will traverse 3 Cities (Gen.Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong) and 3 Provinces (Sarangani, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat) and will run from September 1 to 5, again right smack during the ATOP 2nd Best Festival in the Philppines awardee, the Tuna Festival!

So to keep everyone informed and even more excited, here’s the official teaser, the SEX Tour 4.0 poster, created by young Wizard designerJune Raye Prudente, a blogger from Polomolok, South Cotabato.

A registration fee of a measly P2,000 is the small amount required for each participant although we are limiting the number to 25 bloggers at the most.  We have already pre-chosen 10 bloggers initially and will need to look only for 15 more.

Transportation fares to and from General Santos City plus expenses on hotel accommodations from September 1 to 5, 2012 will be shouldered by the participants themselves.

Check out GenSanHotels.com for very affordable lodging houses in the city.  We  can also assist you in scouting for the best places for you to stay while here.

Meals, snacks and water are all complimentary and will be provided by the SEX TOUR 4.0 partners and pitstops.  Each SEX Tourist will be given a SEX Tour 4.0 Kit.

If you are interested in joining, just leave a message below detailing your reasons as to why you want to be part of the SEX TOUR 4.0.  Along with those is the vow or promise to BLOG about each major pitstop of the tour afterwards.  Be sure that your messages are convincing enough to make us laugh, cry, scream  and eventually choose you as one of the official 25 SEX Tourists for 2012!

Now how’s that for a foreplay?

Krisis sa Mindanao?

I would like to share with you a video from Lourd de Veyra, part of a series which he dishes out regularly in his weekly program on TV 5, “Word of the Lourd”.

It says a lot on what we Mindanaoans have been complaining about for ages – the bad rap we have been getting due to the manner in which mainstream media nonchalantly lump up every unfavorable incident that happens in various places here into one “convenient term” to describe its location – “MINDANAO”.

That is basically the very reason why this blog of ours was conceptualized in the first place, four years ago and why the group, the Soccsksargen Bloggers was born.  We had to band together to change other people’s negative perception of our region in particular and Mindanao in general through our blogs.

And we are thrilled and thankful that Lourd de Veyra, who is not even from these parts, is joining us on this cause.   Check out his video below and see what we mean!

Daghang salamat Lourd!  Galing mo bai!

Kung Hei Fat Boy!

Last week, yours truly, Bariles celebrated my 50th Birthday!

Yes, you read it right – 50!  Fifty!  Singkwenta!  Limampu!

I bet most of you readers didn’t know that but yes, I am already half a century old!

Today, Monday in honor of the Chinese New Year being celebrated around the world, I am sharing with you this Chinese-themed poster made for me by Master Erwin Bantilan featuring a photograph of mine lensed by Wizard fotog Apple Greatson for my birthday last week.

I hope you like it.  Kung Hei Fat Boy! Hehehe! :D

Enjoy the Chinese New Year holiday!!!  Yey!! :D

P.S.

A million hugs and kisses to all who greeted me on my birthday, sent messages, called, texted, gave gifts, showered me with lots of love!    And to all who have been part of my life for the past 50 years and have seen me in my best and in my worst states and have still stood by me, I owe you much!

To God Almighty, thanks for this milestone.  Reaching 50 has made me realize how short life is and little I have accomplished.  Hopefully,  I still can catch up soon with the loving support of my family and the friendships I have cultivated all throughout these times.

Samsung Store now at KCC Mall of GenSan

Posted by bariles On January - 4 - 2012 13 COMMENTS

Samsung which has now become the cellphone of choice of most Pinoys due to the popularity of their entry-level and mid-level Android phones has just opened its first store cum service center in General Santos City.

Their outlet is conveniently located at the KCC Mall of GenSan‘s 3rd floor, right beside the NOKIA Store.

 

I was there very recently to browse through the numerous displays of their phones and tablets which were for everyone to touch, smell and feel.  I would have wanted to ask for the price of the Samsung Note I was eyeing but their four lady clerks were busy chatting away and seemed oblivious of my presence.   Oh well, will Google Search about it anyway.

Noticed that the Service Center is right at the back of Samsung’s display area which makes for a convenient arrangement for their clients.  Nokia on the other hand has separate areas at the KCC Mall for its Products Showcase and NOKIA CARE Center, which for me is even better.

Either way, with both Nokia and Samsung in our shores, coming up with elegant product showcases, I guess, Apple wouldn’t be far behind.

What do you think?

 

Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0 featured on ABS-CBN TV Patrol GenSan

Posted by bariles On December - 7 - 2011 5 COMMENTS

I still haven’t gotten over the Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0 which we mounted almost two weeks ago which turned out to be the most fruitful and successful blogging event in these parts of the island.

While still waiting for our copies of the photos of this Grand Eyeball of bloggers and online media in Mindanao from our official Digital Studio partner, Montage, we are releasing the news report from ABS-CBN TV Patrol GenSan/Socsksargen.

Although quite brief, it was able to show the viewer snippets of interviews of speakers Mae Paner, US State Department Deputy Press Attache Cynthia Cook and a local blogger, Lynette Gallinero plus yours truly, among others.  It also introduced Bob Martin, my American kumpare who’s Davao based and was responsible for coming up with the first official website of General Santos City. The GenSan bloggers who won during the Philippine Blog Awards for Mindanao were also featured.

We are showing it with no copyright infringement intended.

Thank you ABS-CBN GenSan.

Congratulations to the winners of the Philippine Blog Awards for Mindanao 2011!

Their names were announced during a riotous and fun-filled awarding ceremony presented by the Circle of Arts on Saturday, 7pm at the Bali Ballroom of the East Asia Royale Hotel.

Since most of the attendees just came from the day-long Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0 at the next-door SunCity Suites, event organizer Chiclet Rillo made sure that the event will be one stress-free, laugh-out-loud experience for everyone.  And yes, she and hostest-with-the-mostest Donna Mae Congson of Kikaymuch.me did not disappoint.

Before each category winner was called, Donna Mae came out as different characters with matching production numbers; most notable are those involving Miss GenSan 2008 Romarie Cunanan (for the Beauty & Fashion Blog Category) and another one with three dancing waiters of the hotel (for the Food Blog Category).

Joining her as presentors were CameraHauz’s Joseph Chua Kao (for Photo Blog Category), Davao Bloggers Brendel Balaga & Lyle Santos (for Personal Blog Award), Blogfest Sox’s speakers Mae Paner & Flow Galindez (Tech Blog Category), GenSan Gazer Publisher Mandi Nicolas (Travel Blog Award), interior designer Rain Ramas & hilarious restaurateur Dimples Odi who came in as a sexy Donna Summer (Lifestyle Blog Award), GenSan Hotelier  Association Prexy Philip Pabelic (Food Blog Award) and GSC Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc. Executive Director Bench Tacumba.

The evening commenced with a sumptuous dinner co-hosted by our friends from the GSC Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Inc.  A 32-kg whole fresh tuna straight from the GSC Fishport satisfied the attendees craving for sashimi, courtesy of GenSan News Online Mag!

Everything’s all set for Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0!

Posted by bariles On November - 24 - 2011 6 COMMENTS

It’s less than 40 hours before the biggest eyeball of bloggers and online writers/publishers in Mindanao so you could just imagine how jittery we are, being the organizers of Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0.

It’s been a short 3 months of organizing and planning and on Saturday, November 26, 2011, people will have a chance to find out if we made the right decision in following up the first Blogfest which we conducted almost a year ago in December 2010.

We are certain however that judging from the # of bloggers who registered online coming from all over the island of Mindanao, we are in for a full house. We were only planning to accept 100 registrants but had to re-open the sign-up for a couple of times due to numerous requests and pleas from late-comers (sooo Pinoy).

We are very grateful to the generous personalities who will be sharing their insights based on the simple yet timely theme “The Emergence of Blogs & Social Media“. They could have given us the run-around when we first invited them but no. Ever so graciously, they immediately accepted the offer to meet and hobnob with the bloggers of Soccksargen or South Central Mindanao and her neighbors. Until now, we could hardly believe our luck.

Where else then can you find these internet stalwarts and social media experts in one roof: Multiply Phils Country Manager Jack Madrid, essayist and blogger Undersecretary Manuel L. Quezon III, Video Blogger and TV/Commercial Director Mae Paner aka Juana Change, GMA News & Public Affairs Anchor/Producer Raffy Tima, Mindanao-based American internet entrepreneur Bob Martin, Techie Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio of GenSan, Google Asia-Pacific‘s Aileen Apolo-de Jesus, Advocacy Blogger Flow Galindez of ABS-CBN, Superstar Tech Blogger Abe Olandres and Cynthia Cook, Deputy Press Attache of the US Embassy?

Dito lang sa Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0 ng GenSan!   (Get to know more about them by checking out the official BlogfestSox website.)

We couldn’t have pulled it off however without the assistance of our Co-Presentors, local companies and CSR leader Dolefil, Sagittarius Mines Incorporated and the ever-supportive SMART. Not to mention the help being extended by Gold Sponsors AirPhil Express, ACLC College, the GSC Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the local government of General Santos City, and the Department of Trade & Industry -12, Official Hotel SunCity Suites and Sarangani Highlands.

So all those who registered already at the SoxBloggers Site and are getting ready for Mindanao’s Funnest Eyeball of Bloggers, we are proud to give you the Official Programme of the Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0.

We are encouraging the delegates to bring their laptops and tablets and mobiles.  SunCity Suites, the Blogfest Sox 2.0 venue will be equipped with FREE WI-FI powered of course by SMART.

By the way, we are raffling off a Round-Trip Ticket to any Philippine destination courtesy of AirPhil Express at the Blogfest Grand Raffle Draw.

Good luck bloggers and kita-kits sa GenSan for the Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0!  For more info, log on to www.Blogfestsox.com.

Following the Blogfest Sox 2.0 is the strictly-invitational glamorous Awards Night of the Philippine Blog Awards for Mindanao 2011 at the East Asia Royale Hotel starting at 7:00pm.  If you are a nominee or an invitee, please make sure to be in your best SMART CASUALS.

We are encouraging all the nominees to attend the awarding which will be a mini Sashimi Night.  You may attend the Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0 during the day and hit two birds with one stone.

    4th Blogoversary Special IV: The GenSan News Online Mag Slogan Contest (updated)

    Posted by bariles On November - 8 - 2011 11 COMMENTS

    When I came out with my first blog post exactly four years ago today under the blog name, Bariles Republic, we adapted the phrase, “An Idiot’s Guide to GenSan” as our official slogan.

    It was supposedly a “tongue-in-cheek” description about the blog but some quarters who didn’t have a sense of humor didn’t like it.  Still, I persisted and up to now, I still use it, although sparingly, to describe what is now known as GenSan News Online Mag.

    However, now that this blog is celebrating its 4th blogoversary exactly today, November 8, 2011, I feel it is time to come out with something new – a better and more apt slogan to describe GenSantos.com.

    And so with that, I am launching the last of my 4th Blogoversary Special Series – the “NAME A SLOGAN FOR GENSANTOS.COM CONTEST!”

    Here are the contest rules:

    1. Like our Facebook Fanpage (facebook.com/GenSanNews) which you can access by CLICKING HERE.
    2. Write your entry to the “NAME A SLOGAN FOR GENSANTOS.COM CONTEST” at the Facebook Fan Page via an INDIVIDUAL STATUS UPDATE.
    3. Come back to this page and write this sentence on the RESPONSE BOX below:  ”I just wrote my entry at the GenSan News Online Mag Facebook Page.
    4. Deadline for submission of entries is Friday, November 11, 2011 at 11:00pm (11:00pm on 11/11/11).
    5. Winners will be announced on a separate blog post immediately after.
    6. The decision of a set of judges commissioned to rate the entries will be final.
    7. The winning slogan entry will be used by GenSantos.com as its new official slogan thereon.

    Here are the prizes:

    • GOLD AWARD – Grand Winning Entry Prizes:

      • ONE  4-gig Flash Drive from MULTIMEDIA TELEPHONY, INC.

      • ONE Gift Certificate worth P1,000 from ROBINSONS PLACE GenSan (may be used in all Robinsons malls nationwide)

      • ONE Starbucks Mug from celebrity/events blogger Morgan Garcera of SuperMorgy.com & One Steve Jobs Commemorative T-shirt from InkPossible Designs & Prints.

    • SILVER AWARDEES – The next top three entries will receive:

      • ONE 4-gig Flash Drive each from MULTIMEDIA TELEPHONY, INC. and ONE Steve Jobs Commemorative T-shirt each from KCC Mall of GenSan and InkPossible Designs & Prints.

    • BRONZE AWARDS – The next top five entries will receive:

      • ONE Gift Certificate worth P300 each from ROBINSONS PLACE GenSan (may be used in all Robinsons malls nationwide) & ONE Steve Jobs Commemorative T-shirt each from KCC Mall of GenSan & InkPossible Designs & Prints.

    • 10 Consolation Prizes (for GenSan-based participants only):

      • ONE Jollibee Gift Certificate from Jollibee RD Plaza and Gaisano branches.


    Good luck to everyone and may be the best slogan win!  Thanks to Multimedia Telephony Inc, Robinsons Place GenSan, Jollibee RD Plaza/Gaisano, KCC Mall of GenSan, InkPossible Designs & Prints and SuperMorgy.com.

    UPDATE:  CONTEST RESULTS…

    Nobody from among the seven entries won the Gold and Silver Awards.  I and the rest of the judges feel that no one slogan was able to capture the real essense of GenSan News Online Mag.

    We have however chosen two entries as winners of the Bronze Awards.  Here they are:

    • June Raye Prudente:  ”THE SPLASHING NEWS MAG OF GENERAL SANTOS”
    • Eunice Aclan:  ”THE WORLD’S WINDOW TO MAGANDANG GENSAN”

    The rest, names below will be receiving one JOLLIBEE GIFT CERTIFICATE courtesy of Jollibee Gaisano Mall of GenSan.

    • Nanardxz Zee
    • Lito Antoque
    • Sheila Dumalay
    • Rean Mikel Corpuz
    • Rap Ladeza Gregorio

    Thank you for joining and hoping for better entries next time.
