#HealthXPh at #Bloggys2015

This blog was nominated for the Health & Fitness category of #Bloggys2015 along with the blog of Dr. Narciso Tapia www.cebumd.com. The blog of the #HealthXPH tweet chat www.healthxph.net was nominated as well. That’s three votes of confidence for the #HealthXPH team! Three chances of winning 🙂 and … drum roll please … www.healthxph.net is one of six finalists!!!

While this blog didn’t make it, I’m happier that HealthXPH did! We’re turning two in January. Check out how it all began – #HealthXPH: A Series of Fortunate Events. We take turns moderating the weekly tweet chat and writing the pre-chat blog posts on www.healthxph.net. That’s me, Dr. Remo Aguilar, Dr. Gia Sison, Dr. Narciso Tapia and Dr. Helen Madamba. I think it’s a sign that we should strive to do even more together!

“And when you want something, the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Remo said it best when he posted a Facebook status update announcing our inclusion in the finals.

We thank you all for keeping the conversations alive at #HealthXPh! Here’s to Philippine healthcare conversations!

I’m definitely in a sentimental mood. Here’s looking back at our very FIRST team picture/get together/face-to-face meeting last February in Cebu at #hcsmPH, after more than a year of online team work.

Maybe we can have a reunion at the #bloggys2015 gala night! I’m happy that our “baby” Helen is flying to Manila then. Truly, it’s time to celebrate!

Check out this picture from the Health Advocacy track of #hcsmPH! Second from the left is Dr. Stef dela Cruz. Yes, she’s also a finalist (www.stefdelacruz.com) in the health & fitness category of #bloggys2015. Second from the right is Jofti Villena. Her blog healthactivist.ph was nominated in the same category as well.

I feel privileged to be part of the #HealthXPH team. Here’s to the next social media and healthcare summit #hcsmph in 2016!

P.S. Thanks to those who voted for me and for HealthXPH.
