"Finally!" - that was my first comment about the YouTube Philippines launch when I first read the news on a local broadsheet few weeks ago, I became interested to learn more and discovered the benefit to us users, viewers and media publishers the way we share video content worldwide will give more access, opportunities and also earn money from it. Our top tv network just joined the YouTube partner program and expect an official YouTube channel for the shows created by TV5, GMA and ABS CBN, and many other groups and companies.

Our government and the Malacanang also joined and will have its own official Gov.ph YouTube channel. There's also an upcoming YouTube Worldview worldwide event on No. 4 and featured on the hot seat is our Philippine President Noy Noy Aquino, viewers can send in questions to President Aquino, and then selected questions will be viewed and answered by President Aquino live on the video stream at YouTube.

Now that I'm informed about the YouTube partner program, I just got the energy back to publishing video blogs and will use YouTube more often. Its cool di ba? Check my YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/popazrael

Here are some photos that I took from the event last night, Its a photo ambush around the floor.. nice to meet everyone at Whitespace venue.

Even that I arrived late, I just got there in time to see the 1st live act of the night - Moy Moy Palaboy performing funny lip sync live! These duo came from YouTube as users and now been viewed by millions and they are an instant celebs. Check out my special interview with them for my video blog, this was after they got a slot to sing a track for Dayo animated movie.
