Some bloggers have expressed their desire to attend press conferences related to their “fields of expertise.” I’ve been helping funnel bloggers to attend such conferences for several weeks now but there remains to be one obstacle which should be taken into account. Most press events happen on week days usually in the Makati area at around 11 AM.
If a blogger was invited, could he or she take time out of the day job to attend such events?

I’m suddenly glad I don’t have a day job… at least not one that locks me in to a 9 to 5 schedule.
No, even if you had the time but are still employed.
I think it’s a conflict of interest unless your employer doesn’t mind you doing sidelines during work hours, or you don’t care.
