During the past few months, Philippine based bloggers have been adding various bloggers events. The most recent one is the Belo Bloggers’ Open House. Blogger events are great opportunities for bloggers to socialize and interact with each other in the real world. Two major bloggers event are to be held in the month of September — WordCamp Philippines and The Philippine Blog Awards 2008.
WordCamp Philippines
WordCamp Philippines is the premier event for WordPress users and developers. WordCamp is the best venue for WP enthusiasts to come together and get updated on the latest. WordCamp Philippines would be held on September 6, 2008 at the Augusto-Rosario Gonzalez Theater, College of Saint Benilde in Manila. A “mini-WordCamp” would also be held in Davao City on September 4, 2008. Matt Mullenweg will be attending Wordcamp Philippines. Wordcamp Philippines is organized by the Mindanao Bloggers.
The Philippine Blog Awards 2008
The Philippine Blog Awards now on its second year aims to recognize notable Filipino-owned blogs in their respective niches. With topics ranging from the arts, culture, technology and politics, Filipinos have become more abreast because of the fast growing blogging industry here and abroad. The Philippine Blog Awards is a venue to showcase notable blogs with quality content that engages readers from around the globe. The Philippine Blog Awards will be held on September 21, 2008 at 1 Esplanade (near Mall of Asia).
I am hoping to see you in both events!

I’ve been a WordPress user since 2005, around 2 years after I started blogging. WordPress is really the CMS and the blogging software of my choice. In fact, I’ve been using WordPress on all the websites I maintain – from fansites to personal blogs to niche blogs. In fact, I professed my love for WordPress on my other blog post, entitled, “WordPress: Bloggers’ Best Bud!” WordPress has a vast collection of plugins and themes that will surely suit your needs. I designed a couple of WordPress themes in the past.
Good thing, Wordcamp is now here in the Philippines! WordCamp is the premier event for WordPress users and developers. I would really love to attend Wordcamp Philippines to socialize with WordPress users in the Philippines and to learn more about the blogging software. I would really love to create WordPress themes again but my creativity is failing on me! It would be very fun to learn new uses of WordPress too. Well, thanks to Wordcamp Philippines 2008, which is organized by the Mindanao Bloggers. Wordcamp Philippines 2008 wouldn’t be possible without the help of the following people:
Hope to see all WordPress users at Wordcamp Philippines 2008 on September 6, 2008!
