When In Manila, I tried to attend different Social Media or Blogging Summit to know more and learn more about the importance and benefits it could give from the different views of the speakers with their specialization and expertise. Blogging events are fun, I met different Social Media practitioners and eventually became my connections and learned more about different products, services and technical views presented.
Manila is 2 to 3 hours drive from Calauan, Laguna where I live and what I learned from the Bloggin industry was that it could help us to earn and could be a job through effective marketing of products or services plus could easily encourage, influence and empower even the most powerful man in the government because of the advocates that are active in this new revolution. Thus I got a concept of bringing the information to Laguna.
The 1st and the biggest Social Media Blogging Summit will be held at Laguna with the objectives to bring the best speakers and famous writers from the blogosphere or Social Media in order for them to know what Laguna could offer more. This is also one way to PROMOTE TOURISM and that it’s really more fun in the Philippines and Laguna is one place to spend the fun due to its relaxing weather, hot spring resorts, Pagsanjan falls and sweetest tropical fruits.
Venue: Cultural Center of Laguna
The “First Laguna Blogging Summit” is an open and FREE event for the Pinoy Social Media/Blogging community and will be held on August 9, 2012 and August 10, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Cultural Center of Laguna which is located at Santa Cruz, the province capital.
For the past years, events like these have become a highly-anticipated interaction venue where famous and upcoming Pinoy bloggers give informative talks. More than 300 bloggers from all over the country make time to attend events like this and with 26 municipalities and 4 cities from the province of LAGUNA, we’re expecting more. For years, Blogging Conference or Summit were held in different parts of the country but not in Laguna.
According to COMELEC Spokesman James Jimenez ” A HISTORICAL event.”

When In Manila, I will keep on attending different Social Media events that I think could help me as an individual.
Information is what the Filipinos or even the younger generation need, we must be aware about whats happening whether its about the new technology, environment, finance, advocacy, disaster preparedness, health and governance. Seminars, orientation or symposium about Social Media was done in different parts of the country but not at Laguna, thus, the planning of the First (1st) Laguna Blogging Summit.
