Cebu Bloggers Meet-Up at Casino Filipino a Success, thank you PAGCOR!

My sincerest thanks to all Cebu bloggers who attended the 2nd Cebu DigitalFilipino Club & Bloggers Meet-Up last night hosted by Casino Filipino PAGCOR Cebu. Around 120 bloggers joined last night and it is amazing to witness how much this community has grown.


PAGCOR treated the community last night with great food, wine, beer, and music entertainment. My sincerest thanks to the following people for their continuous support namely their CEO Efraim Genuino, COO Rafael Francisco, VP Joey Benedicto, Cebu branch manager Danilo Cuneta, MCCRD Assistant Manager - Local Marketing Unit Nancy Orcullo, Web Management Unit Head Francis Gary Viray, Senior Marketing Officer Cheryl Pelayo, among others.
Please don't forget to use your post as well in helping our gracious sponsor, Casino Filipino PAGCOR Cebu, spread the word about their ongoing activities.
I also would like to encourage our friends in the area to actively participate in the following DigitalFilipino.com Club activities:

I'll be adding links here to your blog post, photos, and videos. If you have made one, kindly post a comment and share the link to your post.

On July 24, I will also give a weekend accommodation voucher from Jupiter Suites - a budget hotel in Makati City. Sign-up as a Facebook fan of Jupiter Suites to be kept posted of its other promos. For the winner to be determined, I will ask PAGCOR to pick their most-liked blog post.

I have left 15 Jupiter Suites pouches to Mark Monta. Those who attended the event and signed up as Facebook fan of Jupiter Suites will get one. I'll be posting the names here shortly.

Bacolod Bloggers Meet-Up at Casino Filipino a Success, thank you PAGCOR!

My sincerest thanks to all Bacolod, Iloilo, and Negros bloggers who attended the DigitalFilipino Club & Bloggers Meet-Up last night hosted by Casino Filipino PAGCOR Bacolod. Our coordination with the bloggers for the past three weeks over various social networking sites allowed us to have 62 guests last night. From what I was told, this was the first networking event the community had comprised of bloggers, SEO professionals, e-services providers, and online social network users.
I hope the event last night will be a great start to get the blogging, e-commerce, and SEO community players familiar to each other, be able to see more related activities from there.

July 16: State of E-Commerce in the Philippines Free Webinar

Our newest corporate member - ProFora Professional Linkage Webinars - invited me to do a trial webinar this July 16, 2009 Wednesday from 11 am to 12 noon to talk about the State of E-Commerce in the Philippines via a one-hour webinar. Haven't done that talk for quite sometime and am apparently nervous about it since I haven't done webinars before.

However, to support our newest club members, I am putting such hesitation aside and want to see if webinars can suit me and my target audience.

So if you have time, I hope you can join this one-hour webinar on July 16 Thursday from 11 am to 12 noon where I will talk about the State of E-Commerce in the Philippines.
