About the blogger:
I am Nanardxz, a proud South Cotabateño, a college undergraduate who took up Nursing. I usually go online every 5 hours everyday because I am into online jobs aside from blogging. I love South Cotabato, and that's what I am writing about.
What is the inspiration behind his blog and how long has it been around?
The lack of positive posts about South Cotabato online way back 2010, our numerous local tourist attractions and the people of South Cotabato, they are my inspirations why I continue blogging. Posting about positive things in the province and getting positive responses from my kababayans motivates me and makes me love what I am doing.
How did he get into blogging?
Way back 2010, I created South Cotabato Tambayan, a social networking site using the NING platform, it was a hit that many of my fellow South Cotabateños have joined especially from abroad.Most of them were OFW's, they started asking me for updates of what is happening around the province, news, etc., and from then on, I begun posting updates, photos and stuffs. I then created a site on blogspot, South Cotabato News and still using it up to now. I want my fellow South Cotabateños to be informed and to help in the promotion of our beautiful province, there are lots of positive things that still needs to be posted online about South Cotabato.
What is his favorite blog post and why?
My favorite blog post so far is my list of 10 Things to do in South Cotabato. Through that post I was able once again let the whole world wide web knew that South Cotabato has a lot of things to offer them when they came for a visit.
