A popular photo blogger recently announced he is coming over to the PH to gather content and feature "random" people in the country as he did on his own. Great. Awesome, actually. And honestly.
He reached out to social media and asked for resumes and references because he needed an interpreter to help with this project. I understand that Filipinos are a proud and competitive race. I think this is why there were so many people who said that this guy doesn't need an interpreter. Apparently every Filipino speaks English. Partly true. Most Filipinos know some English to be able to help a brother out.
But here's the difference between people who feel they are significant when they post something online and people who knows the shit they post online: They know that (proper) research and meticulous analysis is the best way to gain credibility. So hey, if they have resources why stop them from getting what they need.
When you want to gather content to present to people with the intent of informing and not just making yourself look like a know-it-all influencer, you do not just look at something, hear 2 words about it and decide you already have it figured out. And then tell the world wide web you got it figured out. More than experiencing things (because everyone knows if you've experienced it once you are an expert? -- lol), responsible people actually think before opening their mouths (or in the case of social media, before typing three letters on a comment box).
I've said this before and I'll say it again, it's very easy to make content but there's a TON of gullible people online. Some people believe everything they read online -- I mean a few minutes ago I just Googled DIY frothy milk because I wanted a cappuccino and I'm too lazy to walk a couple blocks to the nearest Starbucks and all I have at home is drip coffee and some full cream fresh milk. I followed the instructions online because it said "full proof" ... just saying.
