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.

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, Bacolod branch manager Fidel Fuentes, MCCRD Assistant Manager Nancy Orcullo, Senior Marketing Manager Raymund Gatuslao, Web Management Unit Head Francis Gary Viray, among others.
