YouTubers gather in Houston 12-5pm on June 15. RSVP to Happy Slip.

She’s been posting wonderful videos of her trip to the Philippines, but I’m also glad to see Filipina comedienne Christine “Happy Slip” Gambito and her family of wacky characters return to regularly scheduled programming. Her latest episode breaks the fourth wall as you can do only inside online video. It even comes with a video response contest — best five win a digital video camera and a Happy Slip mug.
A YouTube partnership, an endorsement deal, a free Pacific island tour, and now a gadget contest — Christine’s one-woman show just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I met up with Filipina-American vlogger Christine “Happy Slip” Gambito during her visit to the Philippines, where she addressed a group of Filipino bloggers. She has some great advice for aspiring online video stars: Find that unique thing in you.
Or, as Hugh MacLeod puts it, find your own schtick.

Here’s a tip for tourism agencies around the world: give vloggers free tours. The Philippine Department of Tourism is getting a social media blitz by giving Filipina-American vlogger Christine “Happy Slip” Gambito a free tour of their country. Here she is frolicking on one of their clear-water beaches.
