After we finished distributing the goods to the street children along Roxas Boulevard in Malate, Manila; we – the Pinoys Heart Britney together with yours truly- headed towards Ortigas , Pasig City as William Pombo booked an overnight  room for us at Oakwood Premier Joy- Nostalg Hotel.  The said overnight stay-cation is a celebration for the success of “Why Don’t You Do Somethin’?- Charity event.

We arrived at 10PM in the hotel; the others were assigned to buy stuff for our dinner and the other half were assigned to cook. It was agreed that we’re gonna cook our dinner just to feel the celebration (YUNG TIPONG NAGHAHANDA which is a Filipino Culture). Well, it was crazy as I took advantage of the clean and pleasant kitchen of the hotel. I came up an idea of filming the cooking session of ROY (one of the Britney Armies). Honestly, it was actually my first time to meet these guys during the event (except William Pombo since he is my office-mate); and truly, cooking is really the best way for bonding and knowing them personally.

In fact, the planned-party became a cooking show and later on, turned into a comical vlog. Originally, I was just planning to create a formal cooking show just like Erwan Heussaff ‘s Youtube Channel but sadly, it became a hilarious content as everyone is punching a joke. The others were even disturbing us while filming.

Undeniably, I should say that I love the companion of these guys. We’re all diverse and has different upbringing but the overnight stay-cation with them runs harmoniously – full of laughter and joy. Thank you guys for the experience and merry Christmas.

Why Don’t You Do Something? A Heartwarming Charity Event Inspired by Britney Spears

Not everyone knows that global pop icon Britney Spears is more than just a performer; she is also a dedicated philanthropist. Throughout her career, Britney has supported countless charitable causes, including helping children battling cancer. Inspired by her generosity, Pinoys Heart Britney, a Philippine-based fan community, has made it their mission to emulate her philanthropic spirit. On December 17, 2017, I was honored to join and document one of their meaningful endeavors—a charity event aptly named “Why Don’t You Do Something?”

The event, held during the Christmas season, focused on spreading love and kindness to the street children of Roxas Boulevard in Malate, Manila. Volunteers gathered donations in the form of used clothes, books, second-hand toys, and food to distribute to the less fortunate. For the first time, the event, which had previously been exclusive to Cebu, extended its reach to Luzon, bringing together fans and volunteers united by a common goal: to make a difference.

A Community Effort Inspired by a Shared Idol

Organizing the charity program was no small feat. According to William Pombo, an active member of Pinoys Heart Britney, the group worked tirelessly to gather donations from its members. Some contributed financially, others offered their time and effort, while still others donated items to be distributed. The collaboration reflected the inclusive and giving nature of the fanbase, mirroring Britney Spears’ own compassion.

“This is actually our fifth year, but our first four years were only held in Cebu City. Indeed, it is our first year to execute such a charitable program here in Luzon,” Pombo shared with pride.

Challenges on Roxas Boulevard

The volunteers walked along Roxas Boulevard, specifically the Baywalk and Pedro Gil Street areas, handing out goods to the children. However, the reality of the streets presented unforeseen challenges. Some street peddlers, under the influence of solvents, harassed the group, forcibly snatching some of the items meant for the children. Despite these setbacks, the volunteers persevered, focusing on their mission to bring joy to those in need.

“We can no longer control the scenario nor change it; this is really the situation of Roxas Blvd. We already did our part. However, the important thing is the spirit and thought of giving this Christmas that somehow touches their lives, and I’m pretty sure they’ll also pay it forward to other people,” Pombo expressed emotionally.

A Legacy of Giving

Despite the challenges faced during the Manila leg of the event, the Pinoys Heart Britney Cebu Chapter simultaneously held its own version of the program, successfully distributing goods to those in need. The simultaneous execution of the event across different regions underscored the community's commitment to making a broader impact.

A Call to Action

This event is a powerful reminder that giving, no matter how small, can create a ripple effect of kindness and hope. Inspired by Britney Spears’ philanthropic endeavors, the Pinoys Heart Britney community exemplifies how fandom can transcend entertainment and become a force for good.

As we reflect on the meaning of the Christmas season, let us take a page from their book. Why don’t we do something? Whether through small acts of kindness or grand gestures of generosity, we all have the power to make the world a better place, one selfless act at a time.

Sense of Belongingness is one of the reasons why we joined a group. Do you still remember the time that you joined in a club during your college or high school days? It was because you considered that group a haven where you can execute your passion.

On December 10,2017. A facebook group of Pinoy Content Creators named Youtube Vloggers Philippines (#YTVPH) organized a year-end party held at The Regency Hotel, Meralco Avenue, Ortigas, and Pasig City. The party has an entrance fee which was amounting to PHP 400 for all professionals and working creators while only PHP250 for students; and the said event was participated by numerous aspiring Content Creators in the country. Indeed, when I said “aspiring” – it means they’re small time youtubers who are passionately creating awesome videos and uploading it in the social media.

“The good thing with - Small time youtubers with zero to thousands subscribers-, we helped each other to grow. I can see how they started and how they became confident on their craft” said Gab Jornacion, one of the proponents of the event.

The party lasted for four hours with full of performances from the talented youtubers – violinist, guitarist and singer. There were raffles and giveaways from different sponsors and I was lucky to get a 3D-2N free travel to Ilocos . Moreover, foods and drinks were served right at the start of the party. The highlight of the said event happened on the last part wherein I had to meet the content creators and mingle with them. It was undeniably cool seeing everyone’s talking to their own camera.

 I can feel the sense of belongingness – all of them were crazy.
