Last 13 & 14 May 2009, Lyle Santos and I conducted a blogging seminar at the Coffee Club 101 in General Santos City, concentrating on WordPress and Google AdSense.
In attendance were GenSan’s bloggers, both seasoned and neophyte, all under the tutelage of Avel Manansala. It was a good group, coming from various age groups, interests [...]
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 [...]
The Department of Tourism – Region 11 (DOT-11) and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts last Wednesday & Thursday held the Mindanao Media Summit on Culture and Tourism in Davao City. MindanaoBloggers.com was invited to be part of this occasion, and I was asked to be one of the reactors.
The presentations by leaders [...]
Ever since the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit in October 2007, I’ve seen various bloggers’ groups sprout in different parts of Mindanao. Back then, there were groups in Davao and in Cagayan de Oro. Then General Santos, inspired by the Summit and by the activities of MindanaoBloggers.com, also got themselves and organized and were successful in [...]
25th October 2008, General Santos City — the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit was conducted and concluded with flying colors, thanks in large part to Avel Manansala and his team. The bloggers of Soccsksargen really made a fantastic showing! But let’s not forget that a blogger from Zamboanga City, Ryann Elumba, made a big contribution by [...]
In a forum where the gatekeepers of Philippine media congregate and discuss pressing concerns, MindanaoBloggers was given the opportunity to break into the consciousness of mainstream media. MediaNation is an annual convention of publishers, editors, news managers — the movers and shakers of the country’s media organizations, and it recently concluded its sixth conference.

In his column today, Manila Standard columnist Bong Austero (writing under Are We There Yet?) challenges his fellow journalists who write myopically about Mindanao. His words are a refreshing breath of fresh air, considering it’s coming from the general direction of Metro Manila. But it should not be surprising, because Austero grew up in Davao [...]
Let us remember….
…our rootedness to Mother earth we call home

…those who have suffered and those who have [...]

Recently, Avel Manansala of General Santos expressed an interest to promote the blogs of South-Central Mindanao (hence, minsur.net), and ultimately, to make known to the [...]
Lately, I’ve been getting some requests to put up a Bulletin Board for the Mindanao Bloggers community. While it might be a good idea, other people think it’s overkill. We do have our mailing list already, you know… Still, a bulletin board (a.k.a. forum) is a proven way of building an online community.
So, to settle [...]
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 two [...]
Me and my sister visited the city of Davao a week ago and we would like to extend our appreciation to Mr. Blogie Robillo and his friends for their hospitality. We talked everything about blogging, blogging personalities and the upcoming 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit in Davao City. This trip is so memorable like our first [...]

They are young Muslim (Moro) professionals who belong to the 5th cohort of Congressional Internship Program for Young Muslim Leaders (CIPYML), which is a program I used to handle.
