As much as I don’t want to tackle this type of issue (since blogging about events is something I rarely do), however, as a member of the blogosphere for half-a-decade, I have to be concern too.
And so was at the blogging industry.
I’ve been hearing stories from one of the top showbiz
bloggers, claiming that some tabloid practitioners running their irate on the
entertainment bloggers like him.
Just few weeks ago, the head of a Filipino community-based bloggers
became a target subject of some of our colleagues. That guy (which I’m afraid I
won’t do the name dropping out of respect and fair judgment) was lambasted for
gate-crashing on events, allegedly harassing some personnel on certain Public Relation
(PR) firms, and even telling “journalists are imitating bloggers.”
Some report even claims ‘scamming,’ and putting up an awarding
ceremony for ‘the most respected blogger.’
Okay, as we all know, the mentioned earlier were obviously mortal sins on anyone. And that’s supposedly end of story for
me. Plain and simple, as supposed.
However, I hate to think of this statement: “JOURNALIST ARE IMITATING
BLOGGERS.”
Yes, I am really expressing my disagreement on this one. ‘Cause
despite everything that legitimate journalists have their own respective blog
sites, and they are doing it in their own personal manner, I don’t think “imitating”
is the proper word. And that just made me sick.
Anyway, as I posted
these words on my Facebook pages earlier, one blog-o-politics issue after
another.
I spotted this guy either THRICE: at the launch of Ellen's Aesthetics
in Malate Manila (01/30/2014), the 10th Philippine Blogging Summit at UP Malcolm
Theater (04/01-02/2014), and at the Pagpupugay event held Independence Day (06/12/2014)
at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. Had a brief chat and same remarks din
ang naku as well as the bloggers/marketing personnel.
(Though still I won’t drop the name nor upload a photo of
him. We still have Cybercrime Law, remember?)
After all this bunches of stories, I can only come up with sets of lessons to
ALL OF US.
If you're not invited, THEN DON'T THE FUCK GO. As simple as that.
Another, if you're not a blogger in the first place (as much as I want to say
"If you're NOT ONE OF US," I'm afraid that sounds over-arrogant.
LOL!) man, don't pretend to be one.
If you only blog because of the perks, FORGET IT. There are more perks in life
than to attend a blogging event which is obviously, not your line. Don't be a
lootbag for damn sakes!
And in case you are really a legitimate one, got REALLY a call to join or
REALLY ACCEPTED, please be straight: If you can't blog them at all, tell them
right between their eyes.
Otherwise, DON'T ATTEND at all.
I am pretty sure of this: hindi lang nag-iisa ang mga lootbag blogger. Yung iba
nga, invited eh. Magsasabing magsusulat sila ukol dun. Pero guess what?
Pustahan, NGANGA yung mga taga-PR na tumingin sas ite nya after 2 or 3 weeks.
Still, this should DEFINITELY be stopped sooner or later.
