Ace Gapuz, CEO of Blogapalooza, has been recognized as one of the Go Negosyo Inspiring Filipina Entrepreneurs of 2026. The recognition highlights her role in shaping the country’s growing creator economy and her continued work in building a strong and supportive community for content creators.
Ace began her journey at a young age, exploring the internet and teaching herself HTML before building her first blog in her pre teen years. What started as a personal interest eventually grew into a career focused on connecting brands with storytellers in more meaningful and authentic ways.
As the leader of Blogapalooza, she has helped grow the platform into a community of over 50,000 creators across the Philippines. Through events, partnerships, and programs, the company continues to provide opportunities that support creators in building sustainable careers.
Ace was a speaker at Ateneo, where she shared life lessons after college.
Ace also brings a strong academic background, having studied at Ateneo de Manila University and the University of the Philippines, along with international studies in Australia.
Throughout the years, Ace has taken on many roles even before Blogapalooza, often working as a one woman team while building the company. She stepped into different hats such as blogger, content creator, events producer, PR and marketing executive, and account manager, among others.
These experiences shaped her leadership style, giving her a deep understanding of both the creative and business sides of the industry.
At the core of her work is a clear mission to #ElevateInfluence and create meaningful impact. She continues to support initiatives that empower creators, encourage collaboration, and build a more inclusive digital space.
Being named among the Inspiring Filipina Entrepreneurs of 2026 reflects not only her personal journey, but also the growing impact of the creator community she continues to build. As the industry evolves, Gapuz remains committed to helping creators find their voice, grow their platforms, and make a difference in the communities they serve.
