What is the driving force behind all these blogging-related activities that I’ve been organizing since last year? Honestly, it’s all about content generation. Christian on Bankerohan See, it’s not easy to keep writing and updating one’s blog (let alone multiple blogs, for some of us who maintain more than one or two). So why not create bloggable happenings?

Very recently — although this involved only one blogger and two amateur photographers — we did a photo shoot of the newly-constructed Bankerohan Bridge. And this type of activity is something I’d like to see more of (especially now that the camera bug has bitten me…).

Since last year, the Mindanao Bloggers (MB) group has been getting more and more attention as a direct result of our various activities. We’ve been conducting seminars on blogging, running food tours, and organizing events such as the Mindanao Bloggers Summit and the recent bloggers party.

Today, Goodyear Philippines had a media roundtable where bloggers in particular were invited. I wasn’t able to attend this morning, but was fortunately able to sit down with their PR people. It was very fulfilling to know that they appreciate what the bloggers here in Davao can do for their company in terms of advertising mileage and product awareness.

Bloggers party 06/08 - photos

I’ve finally gotten myself a digicam — a Canon PowerShot SX100 IS — from a friend who was willing to give it up for an extremely friendly price. ;) So, here are some pictures I took of the bloggers party @ Toto’s Bar last Saturday.



For the life of me, I neglected to take more photos of the food! Anyway, here’s what I had to say about the buffet spread, prepared by the good people of Casa Leticia.

A few more photos at Rod’s new blog and at Migs’.

Andrew, Ria, Migs and I are already at Toto’s Bar in Casa Leticia, getting ready for the year’s first bloggers party. Too bad Winston is in Cebu and will miss the get-together.

Although we’ve had a lot of blog-centric activities since last year, the last time we had a party was the one we organized in March October 2007. So I’m sure there’ll be lots of bloggable stories to share with each other!

Photos and videos after the event! :)

Davao Blogs Directory

The Davao Blogs DirectorySay hello to the new look and feel of the Davao Blogs Directory! I created this directory of blogs in February 2007, so it’s now a year old and then some. Happily, the Directory has achieved its goal: to become the definitive repository of blogs about Davao and/or by Dabawenyos.

This Directory lists blogs from all over the city and the region of Davao. Or, blogs that talk about Davao in one way or another. Read on»

As I’ve announced at I.T. Talks!, we will be holding the 1st Mindanao bloggers summit sometime in October 2007, in time with the 6th MICT Congress. This was proposed a few months back by Councilor Pete Laviña, and is now finally going to happen. Read on»
