The bloggers of CDO
My trip to Cagayan de Oro City last 7 to 9 December was very fruitful, as I was able to meet up with a good number of bloggers there. This is the second incarnation of an active bloggers group in Cagayan de Oro — the first group, the members of whom I met last June 2007, has unfortunately fallen by the wayside as those bloggers have either gone to other places or dropped out of the blogosphere altogether.
This group is now being led by Chiq Montes, who was one of the tireless volunteers at WordCamp Philippines 2008. Last 8 December, I also got to know Goma, Bang, Ding, Cloyd, Robstroy (who was also at MBS2), Amelia (whom I had already met last June 2007), and Mike Abonitalla.
They’re a fun bunch, and they seem to have just the right amount of enthusiasm to be able to sustain their presence in Northern Mindanao. They were very eager to learn about the experiences of the Davao and General Santos groups. The CDO bloggers are rarin’ to be a much more active part of the Mindanao Bloggers community.
It is indeed remarkable that groups of people who are geographically, socially and even religiously disparate can come together as one cohesive community. Beyond the cities of Davao, General Santos, Zamboanga and Cagayan de Oro, other areas are now coming online: Dipolog, Malaybalay / Valencia, Kidapawan…. I just wish I could touch base with the bloggers of all these places very soon!!
The CDO group is obviously very excited about the prospect of hosting the 3rd Mindanao Bloggers Summit. Well, the core group of MB originators (Andrew, Ria, Migs, Winston and yours truly) are going to arrive at a decision very soon.
Cagayan de Oro is one very progressive city. At a casual glance, it’s very hard to tell whether Davao City is still in the lead in terms of development. Population- and geography-wise, Davao is still much bigger, but CDO is clearly making large strides towards economic and social progress. As a destination, the city of golden friendship is more than ready to host the Summit in October 2009.
Kudos and more power to the bloggers of CDO!!!
Yay! too bad, most of us are having “sakit sa Baboy” (sleepy after eating). Di na tuloy kami nakapag inuman with Blogie. But, surely if CDO will host the 3rd MBS we will gonna flood Blogie with beers. ehheheh…
Ok lang yun. Basta next time I'm back in CDO, sana may inuman!
Just make sure, Cagayanons, to treat us all to the White Water Rafting adventure along Cagayan River. Yeheyy!!!!
Pwede ba mag-beer doon sa raft?
@Blogie: Next time present na ako and dun tayo sa Skypark. Maraming drinks doon.
@bariles: Try lang namin ni Chiq Kuya Avel if puede bang ma insert ang Water Rafting
Hello, favor ako for CDO group to host the 3rd MBS. Pwede bang idikit sa Lanzones Festival ng Camiguin ang timing? Hehehe, kung pwede lang naman… Merry Xmas and Happy new blog design, Blogie. More power.
The Summit is always held in October. When is the Lanzones Festival anyway?
Lanzones Festival is also in the month of October, kaya nga na miss ko ang Lanzones Festival because I decided to attend MBS2… eheheheh
At least before the year ends .. we'll know na where MBS3 will be held.
We're excited.. sana nga kami .. *crosses fingers..
if zamboanga naman.. support pa rin shempre!!
Blogie thank you for meeting with us. You were truly an inspiration to me most of all. I've never ever met a famous blogger before and I was in awe the entire night. Hehe.
Sama meeh!!!
Wow.. I wanna go back to CDO and do Water Rafting again… I might be there sometime in January if all plans go well, hope to meet some bloggers also when I go there.
wow! sana meron din tayong bloggers' meet sa CDO .
– gary viray
Im excited sa MBS3. Hope maanounce ang date in advance para mablock na ang sched.
if CDO po, ok lang gihapon. I've never been to CDO and the MBS3 is a great excuse for me to visit the place. hehehe
Happy New Year. You don't know me. But I'm the Ragpalizer. hehehehe
wow!
i'm sure you really had fun with people of the city of golden friendship.
it's a good thing you went to cdo earlier, cos you may have been stranded if it were late december and early january. a lot of terrible things happened.
It was good to meet the bloggers of CDO. And what you guys did for the victims of the flooding is really commendable. Good show of community-mindedness.
