Posted: September 8th, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Events | Tags: wordcamp philippines 2008 | 13 Comments »I am very glad to be present at the WordCamp Philippines 2008 held last Saturday at the College of St. Benilde.
I came early, around 7am at the agreed meeting place of the seophilippine members – McDonalds beside La Salle University. Kiddie30 the first one to arrive, then Mito, kapengbarako, spyrochan, and Ghostnote. After taking breakfast, we proceed to the venue. Security was great, we have to log our laptops in and out.
The event started around 9am at the Hall wherein I saw an old friend Ricky Refuerzo. Me and the guys picked the following topics to attend and saw jayl (another seoph member) as we go to the room:
- Blogging 102 Basics & Beyond by Jayvee Fernandez
- Wordpress for Corporate Websites by Hans Koch
- Wordpress & SEO by Hans Koch
After the classroom sessions, lunch time with a good food courtesy of Chowking. That’s when I met other seoph members like ericm, dudley and Andrew Wong. After eating, we went back to the Hall to listen to:
- The Future of Wordpress by Matt Mullenweg (will vote for Obama)
- Demistifying Google Analytics by Aileen Apolo (as beautiful as she is)
- Wordpress & Web Standards by Regnard Raquedan (thanks for the shirt man)
- Making Money With Performancing Ads by J.Angelo Racoma (haven’t received my affiliate earnings yet)
The coolest part for me was the time I got some prizes..
- a .ph domain of my choice courtesy of dotph
- 2 premiere night tickets for Righteous Kill
- an adobe shirt from Regnard
The question and answer with Matt rocked the house as well as the photo session.
After the event, we didn’t go to the wordcamp party, the seoph boys went to Pier One and Hooters in San Miguel by the Bay, SM Mall of Asia. See pics below:
Kudos to the mindanao bloggers for organizing such an event.
