Social Media and Calamities
I have been talking all about New Social Media in this blog and, maybe, some of you just want enough of it. Haha. Anyway, NSM has penetrated almost all aspects of our life and I have written about some of them here—most are in the context of businesses and organizations. I think it is just timely to take a look on how social media helped the initiatives of different individuals and organizations in helping the victims of storm Ondoy.

Grad School, anyone?

Apart from seeking a decent employment, I also want to earn a Master's degree. I actually wanted to get an MBA but I realize I also want to get an MA in Organizational Communication because of my personal ambition to develop the degree program here in the Philippines (hello unbelievably high aspirations; hello Sir Burn-who-wants-me-to-study-at-NUS). Unfortunately, no MA in OrCom is yet available in the country. Until recently… Continue reading
The First of The Last

Yesterday was a Friday the 13th and I sure experienced what it wanted to offer. One of my classes (which I already enrolled and paid for) was dissolved by the department due to the below-minimum number of enrolees. I had to transfer to another class which has a conflict with another class. So, I have to cancel that another class—But when I cancel that another class, I have to find… Continue reading

Most of my recent (an overstatement) entries here at my personal blog were mere links or teasers for my academic blog entries. This is reflective of the fact that I don’t have a personal life since most of my hours were spent for the thing called academics. Now I feel the pressure to tell stories I weren’t able to tell during my leave of absence. To lessen my… Continue reading

This blog has been up for some time already and I did not start this because I’m nerdy like that, haha. This is actually a fun requirement for one of my major subjects, Organizational Communication 153 (Communication Trends and Styles). One of the goals of this project is for Organizational Communication students to penetrate the new social media sphere and be ambassadors of the degree program. Moreover, this… Continue reading
Politicians as Brands

Mr. Paolo Pangan, Digital Strategy Manager of Yehey! Corporation, talked about Online and Viral Marketing in our class. I was thinking of nice way to share what I learned from Mr. Pao until I remembered the things he told us in the end. Before he concluded his talk, he mentioned some politicians that have websites and how effective are those in engaging visitors. Well, it’s not exactly what he said… Continue reading
A Triathlon Hosted by Ondoy

September 26, 2009, 9:00 am: I left my house with my two sets of formal wear, one set of casual wear, two pairs of shoes and 150 freaking pieces of CDs. And oh, I have my umbrella which, apparently, has no match to Ondoy’s screaming power. I rode a bus bound for Lawton but before it reached Sucat, SLEX (South Luzon Express Way) was no longer passable. Most cars flunked… Continue reading
An Easy Social Media Release

You can see it everywhere: organizations, companies or even individuals distribute Press Releases to relevant opinion leaders or key people like the media. Press releases are done to spark public interest or to start a hype regarding a specific subject. Usually, when you take a look at the status quo, press releases are distributed to the media during a press conference. The media is invited to this event so that… Continue reading
