PRESS
RELEASE: PHBS, Zoomanity Group to Host Free Health Bloggers Workshop
Today, the Philippine Health Bloggers Society (PHBS) in partnership with the Zoomanity Group will conduct the very first "Blogging for Health and Wellness Workshop" for health bloggers.
Here are the five reasons why to blog:
- Because there is so much to write about the profession
- Blogging is Educational
- Because you need therapy, too (from day-day stress)
- It is an extension of your clinic/practice
- Because doctors are natural story-teller and writers.
To hone the skills of
online influencers of health, the Philippine Health Bloggers Society has
partnered with Zoomanity
Group to hold
its first ever workshop, Blogging
for Health and Wellness. The
free event will be held on May 3, from 7AM to 4PM. Health bloggers will be in
touch with nature as they spend the day learning and relaxing in Paradizoo,
Tagaytay City.
“Social media and
blogging are powerful platforms for advocating for health,” said PHBS president Janina Santos, who is also speaking at the workshop.
“This initiative is truly
a group effort of the Society. Our working group has been very passionate in putting
this thing together. But of course, this would not have been possible without
all wonderful people supporting our cause.”
Health bloggers are in
for a treat as their transportation, venue, and food are shouldered by Zoomanity Group, while top brands in the
business industry such as ElabramSystems Group, Gardenia Bread Philippines, Inc., Victoria Court, and Global Learning Innovation Institute (GLI Institute) have also offered support. The event shall be covered by media
partners FAME
Publishing, Tribune Post, and Klipling Times.
