Miss Nadj Villaver of MediaCom Solutions Inc. sent me an invite about the Blogger's Conference in line with the launching of Baby and Family Expo Philippines 2013. Well, due to my motherly duties and conflict in schedule since it was a weekday, I regret to say that I wasn't able to attend. I had to stay at home because I had no one to tap to look after my son while I was away. Sayang talaga that I missed this fun-filled event. I just started blogging last year and this could be the chance also for me to meet both new and seasoned mommy bloggers.  |
| It was an honor to be invited to witness the launching of Baby & Family Expo Philippines 2013. |
I asked Miss Nadj to send me the details about what transpired during the launch and promised to share it to you, my dear readers. Here are the details...The BABY & FAMILY EXPO PHILIPPINES 2013 – “Welcoming Life, Love and Care”, the country’s biggest family expo for all maternity, baby, early childhood and parenting needs was officially launched last October 24, 2013 at Fun Ranch, located at Frontera Verde, Pasig City.  |

With our tagline –Welcoming Life, Love and Care , we want to give a message that having a new baby in the family is not just the mom’s responsibility but the entire family’s – no one is left out. We encourage Filipino families to come to the expo because we have invited industry experts. From there, they can get the latest information about maternity, babies, early childhood, parenting and everything they need to know when planning and having a family. Together with our partners and sponsors we want to nurture family development and raise the awareness on responsible child care." says David Abrenilla, MediaCom Solutions, Inc. president and Baby & Family Expo Philippines 2013 organizer. |
