Blogapalooza, the Philippines’ largest influencer marketing company, brought the heat to Cagayan de Oro with Bloga SZNs Mindanao from October 25-27, 2024. The event gathered creators from all over Mindanao — including Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, Iligan, Lanao, Butuan, and Davao — for three days of inspiring community-building, collaboration, and camaraderie.
The event kicked off with a warm welcome dinner at Panagatan, where creators were treated to a seafood feast as they enjoyed live performances by local talents Kween Yasmin and Kirby Bas. This memorable opening set an energetic tone for the days ahead.
One of the event’s highlights was an interactive skincare party hosted by Sephine’s, where creators bonded over skincare tips and routines, enhancing their knowledge of beauty and self-care.
The excitement didn’t stop there. Bloga SZNs Mindanao featured an action-packed lineup of games, including Bloga Bingo, Tumbang Preso, a Maze Scavenger Hunt, and a Tug of War. Team 2gether, led by Red Anunciado “James Rhed,” claimed victory, fueled by their unstoppable spirit.
Ace Gapuz, CEO of Blogapalooza and known affectionately as “BlogaMomma,” reflected on the event, saying, “To our Mindanaoan BlogaFam, #WalayMagmoveon from the wonderful feeling of meeting beautiful souls and sharing a beautiful experience together! This energy is what will keep you alive as creators.” She added, “Bloga SZNs in Cagayan de Oro was all about creating meaningful connections among creators from all over Mindanao. This event inspired and empowered our community to celebrate their passion and push boundaries together.”
The event’s success was made possible by brand partners Crocs PH, Mondelēz, Panagatan Restaurant, Sephine’s, Seven Seas, and Virginia Food Inc., who played a pivotal role in supporting the BlogaFam.
As Bloga SZNs heads to its final leg in the Visayas, the BlogaFam continues to live by the phrase heard throughout the event: “Walay mag-mo-move-on!” Blogapalooza invites creators nationwide to join the BlogaFam through the Elevate platform and become part of the Bloga SZNs journey.
