Pinoy Vlogging and the Inquirer

Thanks to PinoyBlogosphere.com, I found out that Erwin Oliva of the Inquirer.net posted our video interview at Einthar‘s YouTube channel.

I thought Erwin would record videos, and then write articles from them (see Video a new way to express, test ideas, say RP bloggers). I found out about the Inquirer.net post, thanks to the Twitter-ings of andrew_ds and LaTtex.

So I was pleasantly surprised to see our videos online. Here’s Sharing Filipino culture online via vlogging [425×355]:

UPDATE: Erwin shot the video at 640×480 resolution. I wonder why the same video, uploaded to Veoh.com [originally 540×438, but html coded at 425×344] (is Veoh the Inquirer.net’s video player of choice?), looks so much clearer:

And here’s Coy Caballes (ThisIsCoy.net) in Why Filipinos Are Into Video Blogging:

The videos were taken during the Feb. 7, 2008 HappySlip Meet ‘n Greet in Mag:net cafe, Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City.

HappySlip Meet ‘N Greet

There was a HappySlip Meet ‘N Greet event held at Mag:net Cafe in Bonifacio High Street last Feb. 7, 2008. I’ll be adding more photos plus more info about the bloggers next time.

Meanwhile, here’s a quick photo slideshow and a few photos…

Paypal To Unionbank Woes

Lots of Pinoys rejoiced when Paypal allowed Filipinos (based in the Philippines) to receive payments. The question was, how do you move funds from your Paypal account to your bank account?

At first, lots of Pinoy bloggers talked about the Unionbank EON card. There are many steps to get this working, but once it does you can use your EON card to withdraw funds with the help of those ATM machines.

Then, we hear the news that you can transfer your Paypal funds directly to your Philippine bank account. And if you transfer at least P7,000 then the processing/transaction fee is waived.

Great news, right?

Unfortunately, some folks are having issues with their Unionbank account. For example, at Sasha-Says.com, you’ll read about her Paypal – Unionbank delays.

Apparently, it’s taking more than 5-7 days for the funds to get from Paypal to a Unionbank account. (Someone else shared their January 14 transfer, which has still not been reflected in their Philippine bank account.)

Looks like we still need to closely monitor this Paypal-to-Philippines fund transfer issue. A number of Pinoy netpreneurs are hoping this payment system will work.

UPDATE: Paypal money withdrawal problems — Is this getting widespread?

Popular Pinoy Blogs

Have you ever wondered who are the popular Filipino or Pinoy bloggers? Wonder no more.

Janette Toral presents to you the A-listers and the B-listers at Philippines A-List Bloglebrity.

If your Pinoy blog is not listed there, please let me know so that I may visit your site. Afterall, the A-listers of today were the Z-listers of yesterday.

HappySlip in Palawan

Someone I know spotted HappySlip in Palawan recently. He walked over to her table, pointed to her and said…

You’re HappySlip.

Some of the guys with Christine Gambito (aka HappySlip) ask him if he would like to have his picture taken with her.

I’m not a fan of HappySlip. But perhaps she wants to have her photo taken with me?

HappySlip goodnaturedly laughs, and poses beside him, while someone else in the group snaps the photo.

He later walks away from the table, then turns around and says…

Would you like my autograph?

HappySlip smiles back. Ang bait niya talaga. 🙂

How’d he recognize HappySlip in the first place? He read HappySlip: A Filipina YouTube Star back in September 2006.

He says he’s not a fan. Riiiiight. 😉
