Mindanao Bloggers Summit memories
Well, the First Mindanao
Congratulations to the “Usual Suspects,” the group who organized the event! Blogie is somebody that I have known for years, and consider to be a good friend. In addition to Blogie, the Usual Suspects include Jun (also a good friend), and some others that I met for the first time yesterday: Andrew, Ria Jose, Migs, Peter Levina, Dom, Kim and Marc. I hope I didn’t forget to mention anybody in the group!
The MBS started off around 10:30am with a speech by Davao City Councilor Peter Levina, very informative and interesting! I went next, speaking about Travel and Technology in Mindanao. After that, there were a host of other speakers (sorry, I had another engagement and could not stay through the middle of the Summit). I returned in the afternoon, and participated in a panel discussion and question and answer session along with fellow speakers Jayvee, Marc, Andrew and Abe. It was a great discussion, talking about everything from paying taxes on blog earnings to what is our next venture after blogging. It was a really complete discussion.
Once again, congratulations to all the organizers of the MBS! Putting on an event like this is big work, but they did a great job and made Davao proud!
[...] I was a speaker at the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit, which was held here in Davao. Due to my various blogs and websites, I was considered to be enough [...]
Hi Jehzeel Laurente – But, I only maintain about 5 or 6 sites myself, I have staff to take care of the others!
Hi ayel – Thanks!
Hi Yuga – Great to meet you! I’m sure we’ll cross paths again.
Bob, glad to have met you in person. Too bad we weren’t able to stay long. Maybe next time you I can drop by your place too.
The summit was great with you as one of the speakers.
Hi sir bob, I have heard that you’re maintaining a wooOOPing 150 websites? WoW!!! Ur such an amazing blogger! I can’t really imagine how to maintain such number of sites!
Thanks again for being part of the summit ^__^
Hi Winston – No need to envy those! Travel the island a bit, and your will soon have a collection of your own too!
it was also nice to have you during the summit bob. I envy your mindanao photos. hehehehe
Hi Andrew – Yeah, we’ll have to get together sometime when we have more time to get to know each other!
Hi macky – Yeah, you should have been there! I am sure you would have enjoyed it. I guess you were there in a way, though… Andrew and I talked about you a bit!
Hi Maria Jose – It was my pleasure! Just like with Andrew and others there, I hope we’ll have a chance to get to know each other better in the future.
It was nice meeting you Bob! Thank you for coming!
congratulations, bob. i heard the summit was a success. hopefully, sometime in the future i can time a visit (or move) and participate in it. i’m pretty sure it will much bigger by then.
I only got a quick chitchat with you, but it was a pleasure finally meeting you Bob! Thanks for helping us make the MBS a success.
Sorry dcdoro apo – I have to disagree. I thought that the MBS was a success. Remember, this is only the 1st MBS, with more to come! Future Summits will attract more attendees, more events, etc. For a first time event, I think that MBS was a great success.
Good luck with your summit too.
im sorry bob i wasn’t able to attend as i attended a party of friendsters’ group of my own. sorry we saw the mbs a dismal failure made by trying hards. we’re plotting our own alternative summit- this gonna be december xmas time – a big friendstermates party mindanaowide in davao city. the too scarce attendance of blogger trying hards in our self-serving summit only shows the big failure of the gathering despite the big hoopla, mileage the mbs organizers claimed including councilor lavina. we wonder were all the funds of donors went to?- dcdoro apo
Hi Jun – It was my pleasure to speak at the Summit! Thanks to you and the rest of the Usual Suspects for inviting me! Sorry I didn’t see you at the party last night!
Thanks Bob for being one of our speakers at MBS1. Sorry i can’t have dinner with you since i’m busy and having trouble finishing my film script to be shoot next week.
