It was a decade ago when the Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN), one of the most active Philippine-based community of bloggers and influencers in the country, held its first-ever Thanksgiving Party in a hotel in Quezon City.
This coming December 12, FBN will hold its 10th Annual Thanksgiving Party virtually to reacquaint with fellow members around the country and reminisce 120 months of challenges and cheers, 3,650 days of networking, countless stories, and priceless memories.
Although the gathering will still be online just like last year, FBN members anticipate the annual get-together as an opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old pals they have not seen for a while, not to mention the chance of winning some exciting prizes from the games and raffle draws. Representatives of different PR groups and brands will also grace the event to personally thank members of the online community who have supported them in the past years.
FBN currently has around 2,000 members across the country and abroad and continues to expand as it provides a venue for Filipino bloggers to interact with other members, even those based overseas. Moderating the discussions and posting opportunities from several brands are co-admins Divine Reyes and Richard Mamuyac and Lariza Garcia.
This year’s celebration is supported by the following generous sponsors:
