Bloggers invades the Ecomoda Manila office of I love Betty la fea studio set
you'll see me standing between Ruffa Gutierrez and John Lloyd Cruz.
I got invited to a studio tour inside the Ecomoda Manila set of the Philippine tv series version of I love Betty La Fea, I arrived 30 minutes late and just battled a big traffic jam in Manila and glad that I just catch up in the studio tour, and I got amazed on how beautiful the set they have for Ecomoda Manila, and at first I thought that it was held somewhere in a building with a real office space, but didn't know that the set is in the 11th floor of ELJ bldg, in ABS CBN compound. And they transformed the whole office space venue into a the Ecomoda Manila adverstising, the office were the most actions and scenes begin and end during the I love Betty la fea.

I greeted my fellow bloggers as I saw them in one area, and told them that I got lost during my solo tour inside hahhaa, then we saw Wendy Valdez and Thou Reyes just finished their take and we met them and did some photo op and crazy and funny talks after, they are very accommodating and I was there still amazed on the set and it really looks like a real office aahaha. We were informed that Bea Alonza aka Betty is not around and still in the hospital, sick and still recovering.
Then we were invited to have lunch with them and we saw the pantry area that they dressed up as the Bacolod Chicken Inasal cantina, During the meal John Lloyd Cruz showed up and sat with us during our meal, we got a talk with him and everyone got starstruck to see the young actor, who play the lead role as Armando Solis, the guy who runs the Ecomoda Manila. We introduced ourselves are bloggers and we explained to them what we do, what we blog about, what we love to write and how bloggers share their experience by writing it and posting in online for the public. John Lloyd shares to us that he is 90% computer illiterate, which is cool and he became honest with us, he knows how to surf the internet, and play video games, but the other stuff like beyond internet surfing is already out of his tune, But during the talk and lunch, he got some interest in blogging and he asked a lot of questions on how we blog about all this and also our experience as a blogger, it was like a sharing moment that he also opened up that he doesn't own any Friendster, Myspace or Facebook account profile,which a lot of fakers are already taking advantage from it, but he said that all of those are fakes and he didn't even have any account for any social networking websites. I was sitting in the middle when he talk to me and everyone looks at me, and because that I just finished a blogging lecture few weeks ago, hahaha, I just used the same lecture in blogging and he evolution of blogs.
After some talks, Ruffa Gutierrez showed up, and seated beside my place, I got starstruck and nervous, but I still continue my meal and eat that buko pandan ahhaha. Ruffa greeted us and said that she loves bloggers, she even shared to us that she like this one particular blogger, a famous one. But she told us not to mention it in our blogs. She also shares to us her experience in blogging at Pep.ph, but because of the busy sched, she wasn't able to update it, but surprised that it reach a hundred thousands hits and can't believe that many are now reading updates via the internet.
Great chat with Ruffa and John Llyod, and then Ruffa showed to us her K-text mobile updates to fans, and its a funny one. Watch the video above to see that K-text update. the mobile updates is like a mobile blog, when mobile sms subscribers receive updates from the celebrity and its a lot more easier to receive updates by using a mobile phone, and she also told us that subscribers can receive multimedia files by subscribing to another service. Ruffa's K-text is ( she told us to promote it) K TEXT! Simply type RUFFA (SPACE) ON and send to 2366
then she shared to us her official website which is http://www.ruffagutierrez.com, then she suggested that to John that he should have an official website, just to avoid confusion to fans who are frequent visitors to fan sites and fake social networking pages.
Then after some photo op, they went back on their set to prepare their make up and to get ready for another shoot. So while they do some takes, we were stuck in Armando Solis's office, we waited there till the take is finish, so while waiting we did some photo op at his office desk hahahaa. and that's me sitting in the middle, feel like a president to a big company..wow. I wish.
It was a great experience at the set and meeting the celebrities, and I'm glad that ABS CBN allow us bloggers to invade their set and do some tour with fellow blogger friends.
