SANITATION HACKATHON slated this December 1 & 2 in Zamboanga City

In behalf of GDG Zamboanga, I am reposting this invitation about a laudable cause. It is my sincere hope that we could address sanitation and hygiene challenges and concerns the most effective way through technology. What is the Sanitation Hackathon?

Hot and Spicy Pizza No. 6 and Mount Talinis - The Dumaguete Escapade

The earth is indeed God's dwelling place. To my pleasure, it was a welcome break for me from all the clutter  of things. The four-hour trip from Dipolog City to Dumaguete City gave me enough time to reflect on most pressing things in my life, as i was just seated in my bed enjoying the sea breeze and looking out watching the clouds dance in silence for the sunset. It was majestic to view Mount Talinis from afar as i was aboard the Montenegro Ship from Dipolog City. This is my fourth visit to Dumaguete City in this lifetime.  Mount Talinis is the second highest peak in the Visayan Region. To be honest, I have no knowledge of it until i saw it dominates the landscape of the entire Negros Island. I asked my cousin about it when...

I was at GDG DevFest Cebu / 2012

My first official GDG DevFest in Cebu. GDG DevFests are large, community-run events that can offer speaker sessions across product areas, all-day hack-a-thons, code labs, and more. It is sheer luck that I am able to include this in my November calendar amidst a hectic and crazy schedule. I did see an opening for promo seats for Zamboanga to Cebu via Cebu Pacific Airlines. Tickets are at Php 525 each. I took it as a sign to come. Who wouldn't when the GDG DevFest Cebu event is spelled as F-R-E-E ? It promises great pitches, new learning, free food and great people to meet, so i did attend all the way from Zamboanga City :) GDG DevFest Cebu is the 1st DevFest in Cebu last November 7, 2012!  It is presented by Google, Google...
