Mindanao has viewed in a different manner on the recent Second Mindanao Bloggers Summit (MBS2) on the 25th of October 2008.
“Tuna Capital of the Philippines”, the General Santos City graciously hosts the significant event at the Family Country Hotel and Convention Center with some 100 bloggers coming from the different parts of Mindanao.
The theme for the event has focus on “Mindanawon, Paminawon Intawon: Blogging the Mindanao Consciousness.” Its objectives are to strengthen the unity among bloggers in their drive to accentuate the untapped potentialities of Mindanao; to encourage bloggers to become more enthusiastic about the Mindanao consciousness; to utilize maximum potential of new media; and to foster the enterpreneurial spirit of Mindanawans.
The one-day event shares and discuss on Mindanao Consciousness and New Social Media & Blogging Tips. A forum has also done after the presentation of the speakers.
On the first Mindanao Bloggers Summit, resolutions was crafted and signed by the participants. Subsequently, it was presented in the summit (MBS2) and participants was urged to signed and agreed on the resolutions.
Simultaneously, an E-busines week has conducted also at the KCC Mall initiated by the ACLC Gensan.
VIP’S PRESENT
The MBS2 has truly a meaningful event. Different personalities from GenSan has seen roaming and mingling around the participants. The very own pride of Gensan, Mayor Pedro B. Acharon, Jr. who arrived at the Sashimi Night Cocktails and Ms. Ivy Cunanan, GenSan’s crowned jewel are among those who graced the summit. Mr. Blogie Robillo, convenor on MBs1 has seen also in the summit.

Aside from the learnings and the acquaintance of bloggers, MBS2 has uniquely features a breathtaking performances from the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges and the ever lively band music from the local government after the Sashimi Cocktails and fellowship dinner.
EDUCATIONAL TOUR
No visitor to any place that would not able to missed in visiting to its tourist spots. MBS2 has offered an optional tour which includes at the Gensan Fishport Complex, Sarangani Highlands and the Mansion of the People’s Champ Manny Pacquiao.
According to a magazine Masigasig, the business of blogging is heading towards a bright future. Either be personal or collaborative, its possibilities are endless once people see that there are no boundaries on it.
MBS2 has indeed seen Mindanao in different manner. People from all walks of life has gathered for one unique purpose, that is of promoting the inner beauty of Mindanao. Indeed, the Mindanawon, napaminawan intawon sa Gensan!
Time check, its 11:30pm now. Almost eight hours to go and its MBS2 which will be held in General Santos City.
As of this moment, I have packed already my stuff and other necessary things needed for the trip. Summits pass: Not yet printed. Valid ID:check. Fare & Allowances: enough to stroll the whole GenSan…hahaha.
I’m still confused and could not have my final decision whether to pursue this trip or not. There are a lot of things to consider. Knowing that our parish, St. Jude Thaddeus Parish in Malvar Street (near Davao Doctors) is celebrating its 43rd parochial fiesta on the 28th of October. I am the incharge of the theater presentation on the feast. We’ll have our rehearsal tomorrow and on Sunday.
But I’ve been longing for this trip. I even took a leave on my duty in school just to attend this annual gathering. Prepare the necessary reports in the office and other concerns.
Eight hours is still quite long enough for me to have my final decision. I’m actualy planning to depart from Davao at 3am. Anyway Gensan is only 3 to 4 hours trip so I could still catch the first hour registraton at 7am.
I’m praying that miracles will occur tonight. So as to give myself also a break from the tiring works and duty.
