Yesterday was indeed another great Saturday that is full of fun for me...
Haven't had enough sleep, still I decided to meet my CBS family yesterday at Bo's Coffee at Ayala Terraces, for a meet-up with one of the men behind FilipinoVoices.com, Nick. And as what I have expected, I was late again (never been that punctual eversince, haha). But its better be late than not meeting Nick at all.
It is indeed a great pleasure meeting one of the most inspired Filipino political bloggers, plus the fact that he's very nice and friendly. Nick seems to have a lot of things in his mind, and I was really amazed of the fact that he's still so much attached and involved with our country especially with our government despite of him residing at a different world already (he happens to be a Filipino-American, but 100% pure blooded Filipino), unlike some other Filipinos out there who seem to have forgotten where they came from. I admire his views on various issues and important matters here in the Philippines. Accordingly, he lives on political as well as social news, and he often writes about these topics too. He has his personal blog at Tingog.com which he started in the year 2006. Truly, Nick is one of the most passionate Filipinos I have ever encountered.
If incase you want to know more about this guy, you may simply log on to FilipinoVoices.com and read more of his written articles and of course an in depth description of him on their About Page section.
And I'll quote what had Nick said on his letter that he had given us on the meeting:

I meet new bloggers, new colleagues, and new friends. With this initial meeting, is a start of a new day in the Philippine Blogosphere. In terms of Political and Social Blogging, and Filipino Voices to be specific, we are going to start a movement where citizen journalism can contribute to the knowledge base of informed Filipinos.
Below are some of the pictures taken by my fellow CBS members that highlights what had happened on and after the meet-up...

... taking pictures at a certain spot of Ayala Terraces...
... then some of us had our dinner together...
Today is the beginning of the Cebu Bloggers' participation in a grassroot movement that will take back our voice, and finally give back to the people, the power that is rightly theirs...
Today is just the beginning. There are still a lot of things in store for us. I want you to witness how we, Cebu Bloggers Society, will spread our wings and soar high. Just watch out...
