(Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao, Philippines – October 21, 2009) – Considered unprecedented in the Philippine blogosphere, a top ranking United States Embassy dignitary is set to grace the much-awaited Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, which will be held on October 24, 2009, 8am to 5pm, Pearlmont Inn, Limketkai Drive, Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao.

Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 is on! Finally, the much-awaited Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 is now open for pre-registration. This blogging event, Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3, will be held on October 24, 2009, 8am to 5pm at Pearlmont Inn, Lim Ket Kai Drive, Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao.
Led by the Cagayan de Oro Bloggers (CDO Bloggers), Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 aims to draw bloggers from all over Mindanao and provide a platform where ideas, opinions and analyses about Mindanao can be exchanged.
Moreover, Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 or MBS 3 also aims to provide a venue where bloggers and stakeholders can discuss how Mindanaoans (that’s you and me!
) can use blogs, the Internet as well as other new methods and technologies to project a better, safer and cleaner Mindanao.
With the theme, “Mindanao Bag-uhon Ang Panan-Aw,” the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 event will reportedly see the participation of roughly 300 Mindanaoan bloggers.
During its first and second year, the Mindanao Bloggers Summits were held in Davao City and General Santos City, respectively.
Interested parties can pre-register today for the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3 at the official MBS 3 website.
By the way, the Philippine Blog Awards 2009 Mindanao leg / Mindanao awarding ceremonies will also be held on the very same day. The PBA awarding ceremony will be held at around 7 pm. I know this is wishful thinking but somehow I hope my two blogs – Mindanaoan (blogging the REAL Mindanao!) and Bukidnon Online (both are officially nominated to the PBA 2009) – gets a little bit of attention
