There is only one blogging
group in Cebu that continues to thrive in reshaping the online publishing norm
in the locality, and introduces a new form of media to the locales, bringing
citizen journalism and independent online publishing to the next level. Cebu
Bloggers Society, Inc. empowers the common people to know their rights and
capabilities toward information dissemination which also changes the way they
consume them.
A Simple
and Fun Dinner for CBSi’s 4th Year of Promoting Cebu
Cebu
Bloggers Society Inc. will
be celebrating its 4th anniversary
on February 11, 2012 at Azkals Sports Bar and Grill. This dinner
celebration is a get-together party among old members and new ones.
CBSi has grown from a mere
bloggers’ group to an incorporation headed by leaders who organized huge social
media events like Visayas
Blogging Summit and
online celebrations like World
Bloggers’ Day.
In its 4th year, CBSi is still true to its
commitment to the Queen City of the South – promoting the Cebuano culture and
the city’s diversities both offline and online.
In lieu with this year’s theme
– It’s More Fun in CBSi, the organization aims to bring more fun to its members
by creating events and activities that would benefit them as bloggers and as
individuals.
Fun and
Bonding through the Years
Since CBSi’s creation four
years ago, there have been countless testimonials from members published on
their blogs on how great and fun it was spending time and working with the
growing CBSi family.
From attending the US Election Watch on 2008, being interviewed
in radio and
TV shows, to organizing and doing outreach activities like helping the poor fire victims
through gift giving and staging a mini-concert, teaching students in mountainous
areas on how to use a
computer to feeding the less fortunate and abandoned elders and
children. It’s always more fun and heartwarming doing all
these activities with the CBSi family.
“Cebu Bloggers Society Inc. is
more than an organization for me, it is a family of different kinds of people
but of the same bloodline, blogging. In CBSi, we don’t see each other as
competitors, instead as brothers and sisters who might need help in their
corresponding fields or who can help the family (organization) grow into a more
organize and respectable blogging institution. As a founder, I am so blessed
that CBSi has gained such name and is patrionized by members who make working
in the group more fun and enjoyable.”, stated Mark M. Monta, Founder of Cebu
Bloggers Society, Inc.
Aside from outreach activities,
and fun-filled events by invitations, CBSi has also organized various events
that tighten the bond between its members like the Wild CBSi Camp Out in Busay, World Bloggers’ Day Offline Celebration here in Cebu, the
CBSi 2010 Election Coverage, the Filipino Blogosphere and Political Participation
Forum, and most recently the 2nd Visayas
Blogging Summit, one of the largest social media summits in the
country.
CBSi, along with its current
set of leaders and
active roster of new and old members, will be more visible in Cebu’s online
scene, rocking 2012 and the blogosphere, enjoying one another’s company while
having more fun and glam.
