Our judges Jojie and Rhonson have spoken. The winners of the Davao cuisine photo tilt are: Doris and ragingmon.
Congratulations, guys!! You’ve each won a gift certificate worth P1,000 that you can splurge at Hanoi. Kainan na!! 
I’d like to thank everyone who joined this photo tilt. Watch out for more contests and gimmicks on AngDabawenyo.com in the near future!
The Davao Bloggers Party #1 organizers will meet this Saturday (3 Mar.) at Casa Leticia, 5:30 PM. We’ll be at the coffee shop at the ground floor, Sagay, where wifi is available free.
The party’s only about two weeks away, so we’re doing our best to make sure that the event is a success. Anyone who’d like to join the meeting is free to attend.
We’ve got most of the pieces in place already — the venue, sponsors, gimmicks, hopefully the food & drinks. So that’s why we have to meet again this weekend to make sure that everything else will be taken care of. We do need some more helping hands, so if you could volunteer, we’d appreciate it!
In case you haven’t yet, please register at the Davao Blogspace, then go to Forum >> Events >> Davao Bloggers Party #1 and sign up for the party!
Yesterday, the organizers of the Davao Bloggers Party #1 met up at Blugré Café in Matina Town Square to discuss the plans for the upcoming party. Most important details: it’s gonna be on 17 March 2007 (Sat.) and it’ll be at Netfront Coffee Shop & Internet Café. Netfront is a brand-new place right in front of Aldevinco and behind Marco Polo.
Your oh-so-dedicated organizers are: Kim C, Ria J, Marc J, Andrew, Wyzemoro, and your truly. Councilor Pete Laviña, who happened to be at the coffee shop, dropped in to give words of encouragement and support.
The party is open to all bloggers who are in Davao (meaning: even if you’re not a Davaoeño but find yourself in Davao on 17 March, you’re in!). Please go to the official announcement page for more details — that page will be kept updated as we go along.
After much thought, I finally decided to transfer my Davao blog to its very own domain: www.angdabawenyo.com. And I thought I’d change the name from The Davaoeños to the one you see on top of the page. I was resistant to move at first, because it seemed rather disloyal to just quit Blogger. But then again, I doubt very much that they’d really give a damn if someone up and left them (well, unless droves of bloggers suddenly did an exodus on them…). Hey, no complaints against Google’s Blogger service — in fact, I still have my other blogs over there. Read more »
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.
Just found out — nominations for the best Pinoy blogs are open at The 2007 Philippine Blog Awards!!! You can nominate your own blog, or anyone else’s whose blog you think deserves to win.
The Award site lists 12 categories:
Ang Dabawenyo is proud to announce the collaboration between cousins Blogie the blogger and Ria the anime guru. Through my mental meanderings, cousin Ria has created Dave, the blog’s mascot of sorts. Dave here will be the blog’s presentor, and will provide the site with character and flavor. 
For example, I’ll use Dave to express just how I feel about restaurants in my food reviews.
So what do you think of Dave? We’d appreciate your comments, positive or negative. He’s still fresh off the drawing board, so we’re still very open to your suggestions.

Hello! This is a brand new blog that’s all about Davao City and its environs. My name is Blogie (no kidding! like I’ve said in my personal weblog, it must’ve been foresight on the part of my folks…), and I’m a Davaoeño. I was born 35 years ago to a Davaoeño and a Manileña, who is now very much a Davaoeña in all respects.
For those who’ve been to Davao long enough to experience the place, they know that it’s quite easy to become a Davaoeño. If you suddenly feel the urge to move to the deep South, or if you thought you’d never stand the smell of durian but now you can’t get enough of it, or you can’t help but gush about how wonderful it is to be here — that’s when you know you’re starting to become one.
Welcome to Ang Dabawenyo blog! I shall try my best to keep it updated and provide readers with as much variety of topics as I can. Comments and suggestions will be appreciated! This blog is for you if you’re out to know more about us, or if you miss Davao, or if you just happen to have some free time to surf the Internet. 
Contributions in the form of articles and photos are most welcome!
