It was a night of great fun, awesome giveaways, delicious food and meeting new friends at the 2016 Christmas party of the Filipino Bloggers Network {FBN}, one of the most active bloggers group in the country, in cooperation with MetroBuzz Bloggers held at St. Nicholas Catering and Restaurant in Mandaluyong City last December 28, 2016.
Blogger members took the opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old friends they have not seen for a while. Representatives of different PR groups and brands also graced their event and personally thank bloggers, online writers and influencers who have supported them in the past years.
FBN currently has more than 1,800 blogger members and continue to expand as it provides a venue for Filipino bloggers to interact with other members from different part of the Philippines. Moderating the discussions and posting opportunities from different brands for the group are co-admins Divine RC and Richard Mamuyac.

It was indeed a night of fun, prizes, and building camaraderie with our fellow bloggers and everyone had a lovely time. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially the hardworking FBN admins and event organizers, pr friends, as well as the brands and sponsors. I particularly loved the decadent cake that Comm & Sense sent, too bad I was not able to take a photo of the lovely cake. Cheers to more years of togetherness! 😀

Looks like not just a successful event but a fun one! Hopefully, I can join blog networks too. It would be fun to join a formal organization. More power to your blog and Filipino Bloggers Network 🙂
Thank you! It sure is! You can join the group anytime 🙂
Looks fun to network with all of you here. I’m blogging mostly for the love of writing but I’m actually challenged in giving time for it. A lot of sponsors you had there. It must have been one happy party!
It sure was! Yes, giving time to do something you love will lead you to even greater things! 🙂
Looks like it’s a wrap! I have heard a lot of groups for bloggers and by far, this has the most members. I can see loads of sponsors too! How much does a membership costs?
The good news is it won’t cost you a cent to join. Simply search for our FB Page and join. Hope to see you there 🙂
