Exactly a week to the day when the gates were opened for the registration of would-be participants to the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit, a total of 70 bloggers have already signed up and submitted their blog posts or articles on the issue for verification. About 20 of these submissions still have incomplete requirements and will [...]
LAST CALL to those attending the MBS2: We are closing the registration at 6am tomorrow, October 3, 2008. We have actually only a very few slots left. Congrats to those who made it! Finally, the registration for the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit is now open. The MBS2 will be held at the Family Country [...]
The recently-concluded WordCamp Philippines 2008, the first international bloggers event in the country, was a success in several ways. Foremost is the learning that the participants were able to go through during the whole exercise. Judging by the blog posts after WordCamp, the campers certainly appreciated what they came for. Second, it was a success [...]
For the past months, our group of Soccsksargen Bloggers has been working silently together on the roadmap we have designed for the conduct of the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit slated on October 25, 2008 in General Santos City. We all knew that the first one in Davao City last year was a tough act to [...]
The spearheading of the organization of WordCamp Philippines 2008, in both Manila and Davao, is in the hands of Mindanaoans (among them, an adoptive Dabawenyo). This is the same group of intrepid bloggers who made our MindanaoBloggers.com community possible. When we were organizing MBS1, I was asked by Matt Mullenweg when we spoke over Skype [...]
The You Got Blogged! review-writing competition is on its final stretch. Deadline for submission of entries is on 14 December 2007. We will accept entries up to 11:49 PM of that day. So far, we have 19 reviews on the list. You have 5 days to join and get a chance to win $150!
The Batang Yagit and Queen Ria have come up with very interesting ways to promote the ongoing You Got Blogged! Review-a-Blog Competition. Instead of just inviting everyone to join the contest and review any blog in the Mindanao Blog Directory, what the Yagit and the Queen are doing is to encourage bloggers to review their [...]
The successful Summit is done… but we have more online and offline events to come! One is the ongoing You Got Blogged! DigitalFilipino.com / MindanaoBloggers.com Review-a-Blog Competition. As I’ve said during MBS1, I hope to see more Mindanao bloggers participate. But actually, YGB! is open to everyone who owns a blog!

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 [...]
