Relyn Manuel, a blogger from Baguio City said: “… hindi lang siya hobby pero source of living din, hindi lang iyon ang gusto kong ma-achieve pero gusto kong i-explore ang sarili ko at passion ko on beauty, lifestyle, and local at ma-research ito for my audience to learn about it as well. For aspiring bloggers, huwag mong isipin agad iyong pag-momonitor ng blog mo [but] build your content first kasi from there, doon mo makikita kung ano ‘yong pinagkaiba mo sa ibang bloggers, either you will add to the noise or will you share something different.”
