On December 10, 2017, I had the privilege of joining the year-end/Christmas party of YouTube Vloggers Philippines (#YTVPH), a vibrant community of passionate Pinoy content creators. Held at The Exchange Regency Hotel, Meralco Avenue, Ortigas, Pasig City, the event brought together aspiring YouTubers from different walks of life, creating an atmosphere filled with energy, creativity, and camaraderie.

The party, which ran from 11 AM to 3 PM, required a small entrance fee: PHP 400 for professionals and working creators, and PHP 250 for students. Despite being categorized as "small-time YouTubers" with zero to a few thousand subscribers, the participants exuded immense passion for their craft, evident in their dedication to producing and sharing amazing content online.

Gab Jornacion, one of the event organizers, encapsulated the spirit of the gathering when he said, “The good thing with small-time YouTubers with zero to thousands of subscribers is that we help each other grow. I can see how they started and how they became confident in their craft.”

The four-hour event was packed with exciting activities. Attendees enjoyed a variety of performances from talented YouTubers, including violinists, guitarists, and singers. Generous sponsors provided raffle prizes and giveaways, adding thrill to the celebration. To my delight, I won a 3D-2N free travel package to Ilocos—what an unexpected treat! The event also featured an array of delicious food and drinks, which we indulged in from the very start of the party.

The highlight of the celebration for me was meeting and mingling with fellow content creators. It was fascinating to witness everyone confidently engaging with their cameras, sharing stories, and exchanging tips. The sense of belongingness was undeniable—this group of “crazy” yet incredibly talented individuals truly felt like home.

Joining the #YTVPH Christmas Party reminded me of why I ventured into content creation: the community, the shared passion, and the joy of storytelling. If you're a budding content creator or simply someone looking for a supportive group to fuel your creative pursuits, I highly encourage you to find your tribe. This event wasn’t just a party—it was a celebration of dreams, collaboration, and endless possibilities.

Here’s to more creative adventures in the coming year! 🎉
