48 Busy Mommy Bloggers in one place.. that’s not an easy feat.. and to say the event was a huge success, is an understatement.

The Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand Eyeball can be dubbed as the mommy bloggers event of the year. From a target of 50 mommies, 48 graced the event. These mommy bloggers came from different parts of the world, one came from Canada, the other one from the US and one from Germany. Mommy Bloggers all over the Philippines also joined the said event, we have moms from Baguio, from Cagayan de Oro, from Bacolod and from Bicol as well as moms who are from Rizal and from different parts of the Metro.

The first PMC grand EB was held last April 2011, and just a few weeks after that, we already started planning for the 2nd grand eb, yes the first one was so bitin that we all end up asking for more! The date was set and the ball started rolling, and just like any other events organizing, we experienced some bumps along the way but with this photo proudly displayed on our group wall, those bumps just made the event more successful.

The event, of course, wouldn’t that successful if not for the help and support of companies who believed in us and agreed to be our sponsors. Their products, I can say and I am sure the moms would agree, are those that we trust and use.

As for our major sponsors, we have the following companies that gave each mom something to bring home and generously gave items that were raffled off during the event.

Smart Steps  brand is the newest baby care line from EVEolution, Inc. Safe and high quality yet affordable  line of products for taking care of our little ones.

They gave each mom a sample of their products such as Smart Steps Baby Fabric Conditioner, Smart Steps Baby Bottle Cleanser, Smart Steps Baby Laundry Detergent (liquid and powder), Holy Seat Disposable toilet seat cover and Holy Seat hand spray toilet seat sanitizer. Smart Steps also brought in a box with their complete line of baby care and was raffled off during the event.

One of the leading pharmaceutical (and most trusted when it comes to Quality Health Care) company in the country also graced our event by being one of our major sponsor, I mean 3 as Unilab sponsored not just one product but three. Each mom got a loot bag from Unilab that contains products such as Rashfree (used for prevention and treatment of diaper rash), Loperamide Diatabs (used for symptomatic relief of acute diarrhea), Multivatimins Enervon (provides essential vitamins to help maintain good health and energy). It also contains products from Ibuprofen Dolan, tumbler, pencil case and a very cute pencil. Ascorbic Acid Ceelin 5oo ml bottle was included.

Loot bags from Unilab, Ceelin and Dolan. Unilab generously gave items that were raffled off. Moms smiled their hearts out as their names were picked and handed out their raffle items.

Our minor sponsors, gave each moms their products:

Our friends from Geiser-Maclang, brought in Krispy Kreme and gave us an Alaxan/Pacman shirt. And yes, that is the reason why an almost 50 moms had donut for breakfast last Wednesday.

Some of our minor sponsors also gave items that were raffled off during the event:

Although Pinay Mommies Community collected an amount from attendees to cover the food, venue and other expenses, Goldquest Biotechnologies send us some cash that were added to the PMC 2nd grand EB fund.

The program was divided into two parts, part 1 where sponsors were acknowledged and their items were raffled odd and PMC founder Ruby had a short talk on how the community started and PRMoms.net (PMC’s PR arm) was launched.

Part 2 of the event includes PMC shirt distribution and token giving wherein each one brought a token for each attendees (dubbed as PMC’s mini divi!). Items from PMC members were also raffled off such as Walis Tambo from Baguio, wellness items sponsored by World of Welness.
