Ang Dabawenyo

The Davao Blog Party #1, which will be held on 17 March 2007 @ Netfront Internet Cafe and Coffee Shop, is a sure go! We are expecting around 30 or so Davao-based bloggers to participate, plus friends who are interested in starting their own blogs. I’m happy to announce that two distinguised guests will also be gracing the event: DigitalFilipino’s Janette Toral and Aileen Apolo of Google Philippines.
