| Arpee | says | i was invited by this electronics manufacturer to a launch of their blu-ray players and monitors |
| momblogger | says | must have been so humiliating, arpee. |
| Arpee | says | actually it was |
| Music Blogger |  |
| Music Blogger | what happened? |
| Arpee | says | upon entry, the managing director of perlas and luna, JAYCE PERLAS himself asked me, "anong publication ka?" |
| Arpee | says | i said 'blogger po' my blog is gadgets.arpeelazaro.com |
| Arpee | says | then he asked "who invited you?" |
| Arpee | says | i said 'hazel javier invited me' |
| azrael | says | im going to watch this thread sige continue.. |
| Arpee | says | he said, "i'm in charge of invitations here. dyan ka lang while i confirm your invitation with hazel" |
| Cheftonio | says | ay! badtrip yan pare! let me repost that pag may blog post ka na! bawal ganyan! |
| IceCreamZombie | and then what did he say? awkward moment nga yan |
| Arpee | says | so i offered 'i can show you my email invitation' to which hindi nya pinansin kasi he'd rather talk to hazel for confirmation |
| IceCreamZombie | tactless pa 'yung pagkakasabi |
| Arpee | says | i waited, then hazel went down and greeted me all smiles, "ay sir arpee! buti nakarating kayo!" |
| azrael | says | badtrip yun ah... dapat di ganun ka taray yung approach nya. |
| Arpee | says | to which jayce says, "o sige mag-register ka na" |
| Meowest | how rude! |
| The JejeMan | wtf! whats perlas and luna??? |
| azrael | says | tama..rude! |
| Music Blogger | tama, hindi dapat ganun ang approach niya.. |
| azrael | says | i feel dyahe in that scene..pero nakakainis yun ah. |
| Arpee | says | ito yun perlasandluna.com/partners.aspx |
| Music Blogger | hindi dapat siya naghahandle ng events kung ganun siya.. |
| Arpee | says | then i realized i had no name tag. so i went back to the counter and asked for one |
| azrael | says | you should complain..and tell hazel the story..ok lang naman yun e |
| Arpee | says | they gave me one, but only because i asked for it |
| The JejeMan | WTF!!!! F TALAGA!!! PUBLIC RELATIONS COMPANY?!? |
| Arpee | says | then another lady who works for perlas and luna shook my hand and asked what publication |
| Arpee | says | to which i answered, 'we're bloggers' |
| Arpee | says | she says, "ano yun?" "my son would know what that is" |
| momblogger | says | continue your story arpee where the Perlas dude treated traditional media better |
| azrael | says | clueless sila about blogs.... pero blogs are parang publication na din di ba |
| Rainbro Dash | says | I'm glad I wasn't at that event. Hazel invited me, too. |
| IceCreamZombie | yup, tell that to the one who invited you. para they'll learn a lesson or two |
| momblogger | says | "Juan Carlos Cadiao Perlas began his career in media in 1997 when he joined ABS-CBN’s pioneering team tasked at setting up ABS-CBNnews.com." |
| Arpee | says | while talking to this lady and trying to explain to her what a blogger is, i saw jayce welcome and even hand his card over to another guest |
| azrael | says | mistetrvader si hazel ba yun sa samsung event ? |
| Arpee | says | who apparently was working for traditional media, some guy named melvin |
| Arpee | says | yes sya yun. but don;t get me wrong. hazel and the rest of samsung have been good to me |
| Arpee | says | so i approached jayce and asked if i could take pictures. sabi nya "sige lang magpicture ka dyan" |
| Arpee | says | no smile or anything whatsoever |
| IceCreamZombie | blog about it |
| Arpee | says | so took a few pictures and included him in the background,. a little blurred but so so |
| Arpee | says | after taking the picture i came up to the counter and returned my name tag and said i was leaving |
| Arpee | says | they were surprised and they called hazel immediately |
| Rainbro Dash | says | Hazle has been nothing but a class act to me, but I'm not even a tech blogger, so I'd be worse off than Arpee there. |
| IceCreamZombie | for a pr company, they should know better |
| Arpee | says | hazel asked me bakit daw ba ako umaalis eh hindi pa naguumpisa yung event |
| Cheftonio | says | ang yabang! please make a post. hindi tama yan. sobrang palpak. pr company ba tawag jan!? |
| Arpee | says | i told her i was offended and i felt i was treated like a gatecrasher. if i am not wanted i will not go |
| azrael | says | ah..you should blog it.and include that guy.show how pissed u are..di sya pwede sa ganun trabaho..what if my mom is with me |
| Arpee | says | but they emailed me and even called me the day before |
| Arpee | says | just to make sure iwas going |
| Arpee | says | hazel was very nice to me. ewan ko ba kung bakit ganun treatment sa kin nung jayce |
| Arpee | says | was it because i was wearing jeans? naka polo naman ako |
| Cheftonio | says | patalsikin! he has no place in a PR agency.  |
| Arpee | says | and as far as i remember, they never mentioned anything about a dress code |
| IceCreamZombie | and as if uninvited people would easily get there. may reg list naman sila. so why be so wary? |
| Arpee | says | she was very apologetic and promised me she would tell her boss about it |
| The JejeMan | well, arpee, try to understand nalang that not everyone understand blogging and its relevance. it could be an opportunity to let them know. |
| IceCreamZombie | arpee and dapat they do something about it. |
| The JejeMan | but what mr perlas did is unexcusable and rude |
| Arpee | says | look, the venue is le souffle inside the fort. the masa will not go there kasi mahirap sya puntahan |
| Arpee | says | assuming that i am just blowing up the story, still i think it was rude for them to take me aside and have to confirm my invite |
| Arpee | says | they should have a list of invitees |
| The JejeMan | when i went to the launch of xda2s sa m cafe nakashorts, wala nagreklamo. i even talked sa stage and excused myself kasi biglaan |
| Arpee | says | secondly, they did not offer me a name tag or even a raffle ticket which they were giving to everyone |
| Arpee | says | naligo naman ako kaninang umaga ah? i even gargled with ora-care before going there |
| IceCreamZombie | says | arpee yeah exactly. if you are in the venue, the best assumption is you are a guest not an intruder |
| The JejeMan | i attended the launch of smarts mms nakashorts din kasi biglaan, and naka drinking buddy ko yung cheif operating adviser. |
| Arpee | says | and assuming i am a gatecrasher, i think as professional PR people there are better ways of handling it |
| The JejeMan | what you look or how you dress is not the issue. it is the attitude of the people ang issue. bastos sila. |
| Arpee | says | it wasn;t like i was lining up for a studio seat at wowowee |
| IceCreamZombie | says | arpee kaya dapat he treated you as a guest even if di sya sure who you are |
| The JejeMan | pero honestly seeing na taga abscbn sya, hmm... people from there are known to be snobbish and overbearing |
| Arpee | says | and he had to introduce himself as the man who handles invitations? obviously he was implying something |
| azrael | says | sana makarating sa boss nila yung complains mo...para mabigyan ng leksyon...sana mag apologize din sya sayo |
| Cheftonio | says | matatagpuan din niya katapat niya.. si Arpee na ba yon? hmm... |
| Arpee | says | he could have introduced himself by giving me his name and not as "the-man-who-handles-invitations" |
| Arpee | says | papano makakarating sa boss, eh he is the boss |
| Arpee | says | he is the PERLAS in PERLAS AND LUNA |
| Arpee | says | during the conversation i even dropped names of GMCI, Ogilvy, Proximity and Bridges as some of the PR firms who regulardly invite me |
| IceCreamZombie | arpee oo nga, as if saying he would know who the invited people are and he doesn't know you |
| Arpee | says | exactlly |
| Arpee | says | i mentioned GMCI, the lady said, "i'm not familiar with that agency" |
| Arpee | says |  |
| IceCreamZombie | i-complain mo pa din then blog about it |
| Arpee | says | tangina, nananalo ng awards ang GMCI how can she NOT know them? |
| The JejeMan | according sa website, sya ang nagpioneer sa pagsetup ng abscbn news team. he seems mayabang na i think. |
| Arpee | says | kung sabagay i asked almabuenviaje kung kilala nya si perlas and luna, sabi nya hindi |
| Arpee | says | probably. daming baklitang ma-ere sa ABC |
| Arpee | says | este ABS |
| Cheftonio | says | mayabang nga.. nasa taas sya ngayon. may araw din siya. |
| azrael | says | ehehehe..naku..i blog na yan! para may character reference na ang lahat |
| The JejeMan | yeah, i think we should blog about this. bloggers are getting invited sa mga events like this. i wouldnt want this to happen to other peeps |
| Arpee | says | may partner daw sila na new media. some guy named jan webber macias. but i don't see his website |
| eloisa | kahit ano pa man ang circumstances etc... BASTOS ng treatment. |
| Ate Lot | says | nasa website ni Jayce "You've got to find some way of saying it without saying it" - Duke Elington hes applying it to you. |
| momblogger | says | oh geesh, Perlas should have been more discrete. Grabe, ang babaw ng tingin nila |
| eloisa | wala namang mawawala sa tao kung itrato nya ng may pag-galang ang lahat ng kaharap nya. there's always a tactful way. |
| The JejeMan | yes, i see the issue not really about pr agencies, the event or even bloggers. but simply bastos sya. and you have every right to demand |
| eloisa | someone in PR should be more gracious than that, hello. PR nga eh. That just goes to show, plastic sya. |
| The JejeMan | an apology cause they made you loose face. sa akin ok lang kung di sinasadyang masaktan ako, pero if im made to loose face in public, |
| The JejeMan | patayan ito unless i get a sincere explanation and apology |
| The JejeMan | i could even get so evil as to find a way for their clients, idicated on their webpage, to know how they conduct their "public relations" |
| Arpee | says | i am not expecting an apology |
| yoshidragon | says | gawa ka na po ng post. tapos inform mo si hazel hahahaha. grabe naman ang treatment na yan! tsktsktsk |
| Yeh Hsien | says | grabe naman yun!! you really have to blog about it and spread the word to other bloggers na pag event nila boyocott. Unfair!!!! |
| The JejeMan | yes, please narrate it on your blog so i can make a post about it too. |
| Yeh Hsien | says | he has no right to treat you badly. PR sya ano!! |
| Arpee | says | working on it now |
| Between Bites | says | arpee: i had the same experience of rechecking my invitation 2 years ago... tell you about it when we bump into each other  |
| Between Bites | says | i left early too coz i felt so "NOT" wanted there. |
| kaoko | says | Man, he shouldn't be in PR. Or any job that requires interfacing with third parties. |
| jayvee f. | says | never heard of that PR agency before. and i guess that's why. you should talk to hazel, arpee and let them know. |
| jayvee f. | says | norbs actually it didnt matter if arpee was a blogger because he was invited by hazel. hazel's relations with us is already solid. |
| jayvee f. | says | and blogger or not, they should not treat guests that way |
| Arpee | says | i did tell hazel |
| Arpee | says | before i left i made sure i told hazel |
| azrael | says | great!! now lets see what happens next..sana mag launch event uli sila eehehe... |
| yoshidragon | says | sampal sa kanila yun tsktsk |
| The JejeMan | i see. sabagay baka maipit nga din si hazel since according to jayvee ok sya. maybe jayvee can talk to hazel na rin |
| Arpee | says | i never mentioned hazel or samsung in the post. they have been very good to me |
| momblogger | says | geesh i wonder why that company chose Perlas and Luna. |
| macaronigirl | says | nobody deserves to be treated that way, blogger or not! bad sila. tsk tsk. |
| jayvee f. | they were on retainer. Samsung wanted to get Bridges to handle Total Samsung PR (all products) |
| jayvee f. | but out of professional courtesy Bridges declined because they handle Nokia, which competes directly with Samsung's phones |
| jayvee f. | in that case, sana BRIDGES na lang diba? they're already very good to the bloggers and creative as well |
| Arpee | says | in other words, last choice pala sila |
| Malibu Bambi | says | hmp hmp hmp.... ang bad naman nun! |
| Fritz Ahoy! | I'm so out of touch kaya ngayun ko lang nabasa to. magkano sa palagay mo yung cost ng buo nyang suot nung gabing yon? |
| Fritz Ahoy! | dahil makikipagtuos ako sa kanya on my regular, non party mode day. Kidding aside, he should not be in PR, that rude Peras person. |
| THErapist | says | Perlas, dude. Yes, he is rude. |
| Fritz Ahoy! | tama, Perlas pala. |
| frannywanny | says | arpee! now ko lang nabasa to..grabe naman yan! |
| Arpee | says | yup, sad isn't it? |
| frannywanny | says | grabe..regardless if nasa pr sila i dont think its right to treat any guest for that matter that way....grrrr |
| NeLL | says | i admire your patience, arpee. kong ako yan eh mura na aabutin nila sa reg table palang. hahaha  |
| Ederic | hmm, parang familiar yung pangalan nung Perlas ah |
| The JejeMan | when you sing the national anthem, you will remember him |
| Arpee | says | |
