AyosDito celebrates life, festivities and more

AyosDito.ph seeks to be a part of the daily lives of the members of its community, the consumers who buy and sell online via its portal, and to make their lives better by helping them to earn from disposing of pre-loved items they no longer need, or to acquire such items for which they will find productive use at lower cost.

From December, 2013 to May, 2014, AyosDito.ph has mounted various initiatives to connect with consumers:

Webisodes - Tales From The Friend Zone Zero 

• AyosDito worked with Furball Productions to produce a webisode, Tales From The Friend Zone Zero (TFTFZero). The webisode was directed by RA Rivera presenting the main star, Internet action star Ramon Bautista, joined by Nikki Veron, Myrtle Sarrosa, and Jun Sabayton.  
• TFTFZero has taken a more personal twist for Ramon as the character Spanky, who meets someone he fancies to be the girl of his dreams, falls in love with her, enters the throes of courtship, and finally poses the big question, complete with the requisite engagement ring. In the webisode, Spanky is friend-zoned by Zooey, played by Nikki Veron.  And to start moving on, he sells his cherished tandem bike with its memories of Zooey on www.AyosDito.ph.

Sinulog

• Sinulog is a dance ritual in honor of the miraculous image of the Santo Nino. The dance moves to the sound of drums, reminiscent of the current (Sinulog) of what was then known as Cebu's Pahina River. Thus, in Cebuano, they say it's Sinulog.
• Beyond more than just the meaning of the word is the significance of the dance. Historians say that Sinulog, which is of pagan origin, is the link between the country's pagan past and its Christian present.
• Filipinos from different parts of the country fly to Cebu to join in celebrating this festival. 
• AyosDito.ph participated in this festival by organizing an interactive booth where festival-goers joined different games to win prizes. Ramon Bautista was present at the booth to entertain guests and pose with them for photos. 
• In the evening, AyosDito.ph organized a party hosted by Boys Night Out and Ramon Bautista. Exciting games were conducted with fun prizes awarded. 

Dinagyang

• Dinagyang is Iloilo City’s version of the Ati-Atihan festival, now widely celebrated not only on Panay Island but also in other parts of the country. While not as ancient as the Kalibo original in Aklan Province, Dinagyang is definitely impressive in its choreography and striking in terms of the varied attire worn by participating tribes showcasing the ingenuity, craftsmanship and artistry of Ilonggos.
• As with the Sinulog Festival, Filipinos from all over the Philippines travel to Iloilo for the celebration. 
• AyosDito.ph participated in this festival by organizing a booth where festival-goers could try out exciting games and win attractive prizes. AyosDito also participated in the Dinagyang parade during which Ramon Bautista and DJ Tonytoni entertained the crowd.
