Fellow Mindanao bloggers! As promised, the Summit Resolution is now published for everyone to read and accept or reject. Please view the document here. Since we’re bloggers, let’s seal the Resolution with our marks by way of comments. A simple “I agree” or “I do not agree” will suffice — but nobody’s stopping you from [...]
In behalf of Andrew, Dominique, Jun, Kim, Migs, Ria — my friends in The Usual Suspects — and Councilor Peter Laviña, whose idea it was that set everything in motion, I would like to send out warm greetings to all of those who attended the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit. Each one of you made MBS1 [...]
It’s really amazing (but not exactly surprising) how much publicity the Mindanao Bloggers Summit has been getting. On the ‘net alone, the traffic generated by bloggers has been terrific! But ‘offline’ as well, there’s been some buzz going around, thanks to our avid supporters. Twice now I’ve appeared on TV, as I was invited on [...]

It’s less than a week to go before the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit!! We’re all excited already, and a bit nervous… One gimmick we’re thinking of doing is to have a number of bloggers introduce their blogs on stage during the break between talks. There will be about 4 spots for this. The organizers will [...]
Thanks to the facilitation by ACT for Peace Programme representative, Leah Bugtay, the Pre-Summit workshop went very well yesterday.

We were also joined by Philippine Daily Inquirer’s Mindanao bureau chief, Nico Alconaba, who shared his [...]
The 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit is just over a week away, folks!! We need volunteers. Davao-based bloggers who can spare the time and energy, we’d sure appreciate it if you could help us run this event. So far, I’ve gotten the commitment of Winston [Batang Yagit] and Christian [tianx project]. Thanks, guys! Volunteers will help [...]
I got this from my friend, Sarah Matalam: The BIGGEST JOB FAIR in Mindanao, aptly called “Career Gateways 2007“, is happening soon. The caravan will kick off at the SM Entertainment Center in Davao City on October 17, and at the KCC Convention Hall in General Santos City on October 19. “Career Gateways” is organized [...]
What do these three have in common: Swiss Deli, Café Prego, Picobello Ristorante Italiano? Well, aside from being excellent F&B establishments in Davao, they are all owned by Signor e Signora Venuti and their partners. And, they’re now sponsors of the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit! Swiss Deli is a restaurant in Lanang, and they make [...]
I’d just like to give special mention to one of the sponsors of the Mindanao Bloggers Summit — Davao’s very own Chinese-food chain of restaurants, Dimsum Diner. We’ll enjoy their dimsum and other delectable treats at the Bloggers’ Fellowship Night, which will be held at Casa Habana, from 9:00 PM. What I appreciate even more [...]
I know it’s been slow-going for the You Got Blogged! competition… but we just got a boost today with 5 additional entries from one blogger! And before that Rey Ian Corpuz reviewed Councilor Pete Laviña‘s new blog, and Jeffrey Tupas blogged about the elusive Mandaya Moore-Orlis. Today, Jehzeel Laurente submitted no less than five YGB! [...]

At the Summit, we will strive to [...]
