Pinay internet celebrity Christine Gambito, known to everyone as the one behind the super popular videos over at HappySlip and Youtube, arrived at Manila yesterday (January 23, 2007) after being invited by the Department of Tourism to experience the Philippines for 2 weeks!

The said visit was part of the Department of Tourism’s Experience Philippines Campaign which gives OFWs a chance to go and experience the Philippines for free.

“Christine Gambito, better known to her audience as HappySlip, is an Internet celebrity and popular YouTube content provider. She maintains one of YouTube’s most subscribed channels.”

“Gambito’s performances typically include comedy sketches in which she impersonates members of her family. She also sings and plays the piano or guitar. As Gambito has stated repeatedly in her videos, she is notably one of the very few top users acting, filming, editing and producing her shorts completely on her own.”

If you want to know why Christine is so famous you should head on over at her website and watch her funny videos.

There are plans of holding a farewell event for bloggers where fans can meet Christine which will happen during her stay here in the Philippines. There might be even a video blogging seminar for happy slip wannabes! No dates and place yet, I’ll be posting it here soon once I get details.

To Christine: Welcome to the Philippines!
