Rockin’ @ WordCamp Philippines 2008
WordCamp Philippines, the first ever in Asia, was successfully held last Saturday, September 6 at the College of St. Benilde in Taft Ave. Manila. More than 400 individuals participated in the said event.
All of us who attended should congratulate WordCamp Philippines 2008 organizers, especially mindanaobloggers.com, the group who spearheaded and made WordCamp Philippines possible. Everything was organized, from the gate of the venue, to the registration, the talks, etc.
I went to the Camp with two friends: Brainteaser and MJ. We were able to attend the lectures facilitated by Jayvee Fernandez, Blogie Robillo, and Danny Arao during the morning sessions. After lunch, activity was resumed at the Augusto-Rosario Theater where Mr. WordPress himself, Matt Mullenweg, shared to the excited audience the latest developments in WordPress and did a demo of WordPress 2.7 which will be released around November (I’m already looking forward to it!). Sponsors of the event also shared information about their product and services that will make blogging even more exciting and dynamic.
It was a day of fun, sharing and learning. It’s fun to blog and share information with other people via cyberspace. But as bloggers, like what Danny Arao pointed out in his talk, we should learn to be responsible bloggers.

Akala ko camping! Ba’t wala mga tents at bonfires and grilled marshmallows? Si Hito ba yung hinawakan ang puso sa tabi ng ‘merkano?
