The Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN), one of the most active bloggers group in the country, celebrated its annual Get-together party for Christmas last December 12 at Salu Restaurant in Quezon City. It was a night of fun and surprises.

With almost 2,000 members across the country, FBN continues to expand as it provides a venue for Pinoy bloggers to interact with other members through discussions and posting opportunities from different brands and PR partners as moderated by co-admins Divine Reyes and Richard Mamuyac. MetroBuzz Bloggers, led by its admin Lariza Garcia, even made the event more fun-filled and exciting in its fifth year.

Salu, a new popular Filipino restaurant, served as the venue where FBN members shared great food and drinks, games and laughter among fellow online writers and influencers. It was a fun-filled event though time was not enough to spend more time together. The next get-together promises to be bigger and better.

Another co-main sponsor is SvelT’i, a skin clinic that provides advanced health and beauty services using state of the art technology.

This yearly gathering is an opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old pals they have not seen for a while. Representatives of different PR groups and brands also graced the event to personally thank members of the online community who have supported them in the past years.

Here are the sponsors and partners who made this year’s event possible:
