Plurkfiesta GenSan-Style
May 4th
I have always admired how the ‘Generals’ do plurkfiestas. So, when Avel of BarilesRepublic.com said there was going to be a plurkfiesta around the time I and a small group of Davao bloggers will be in the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, I was thrilled.
You see, plurkfiestas of the GenSan variety aren’t just your typical get-togethers of avid plurkers. In GenSan, they mingle and plurk in style with fast wifi and free food to boot!
Davao Food Appreciation Tour (Davao F.A.T.) 2009
Mar 17th
Over the weekend, Brendel and I joined bloggers from Manila, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and General Santos City in a food appreciation tour around Davao City.
This year’s edition, ably organized and generously sponsored by Davao Deli and Davao Foodie, is the second iteration of one of the most anticipated blogging events in Davao City.
2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit: Blogging the Mindanao Consciousness
Oct 28th
Over the weekend, I was at the Tuna Capital of the Philippines for the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit (MBS2).
The summit started at around 9 am with around 130 bloggers in attendance. After a brief introduction by Avel Manansala, Blogie Robillo talked about the history of the Mindanao Bloggers Summit. The mayor of General Santos city, Pedro Acharon Jr, was supposed to give a talk about, “Empowering the Bloggers of Mindanao” but had to attend to an urgent concern. Councilor Meg Santos read the mayor’s message in his behalf.

I had a blast at the Davao Bloggers Networking Event last night . The event was ably organized by Ms. Janette Toral of DigitalFilipino.com Club at the Pantawan Hall of Casino Filipino in Davao city.
See You in GenSan for the MBS2
Sep 23rd
It’s all systems go for the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit with General Santos City playing host for this year’s biggest gathering of bloggers from all over Mindanao.
The theme for this year’s event is:
MINDANAWAN, PAMINAWON INTAWON: Blogging the Mindanao Consciousness.
If last year’s edition was any indication, the two-day event on October 25 and 26 is something that any mindanao blogger shouldn’t miss.
WordCamp Philippines 2008 – Davao Photos
Sep 4th
I just got back from the mini-WordCamp held at Bryan’s Grill & Cafe in Palm Village, Davao City.
The event was well-attended so kudos to the organizers and sponsors. I was thinking of posting a recap of the event but decided to create a photo slideshow instead. I think the photos pretty much summarizes the whole event.
I personally met Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress and a lot of really nice bloggers today plus I learned a thing or two about WordPress.
Overall, it was a fun gathering of bloggers bonded together by a great and powerful platform. I might migrate this blog to wordpress in the coming days.

WordCamp Here I Come
Aug 9th
I was one of the attendees of the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit last year here in Davao City. I gotta say that the event was an enriching experience and was a great way to personally meet the who’s who of the pinoy blogosphere.
Anyway, I was browsing through the Mindanao Bloggers blog today to check out details on the upcoming 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit, which incidentally will be held in General Santos City, when I spotted a pleasant surprise:
There’s going to be a mini-wordcamp here in Davao City next month!
