Blogging the REAL Mindanao!

Mindanao is my native land. This is where I belong, feel secure and am at peace. To be in Mindanao is to feel the embrace of a warm, soft blanket.

Calling all photography buffs out there! A photography workshop for a cause will take place on Friday, December 5, 2008 in Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao. Beneficiaries of the event will be the street children of Agora, CDO (Agora is where the CDO public market is)

Registration fee only costs P500.00 and there will be five speakers – all of whom have proven their skills and talent in the field of visual arts, photography, layout and design.

What’s also great about this workshop is that an on-the-spot photoshoot along with Cagayan de Oro City’s top models will serve as the day-long event’s culminating activity. This is because renowned Kagay-an fashion designer Gil Macaibay III will showcase his designs via a fashion show at Ghana Bar and all the workshop participants will be part of the photographers’ pool.

There will also be a model during the workshop itself. Organizers tell Mindanaoan that one of CDO’s beautiful faces and in demand model, Natasha Mills, may become the model. How’s that for inspiration to all of you photographers?

Check out the poster in this entry. Contact persons and numbers may be found on the poster.

Join this photography workshop for a cause and not only will you have the chance to further hone your shutterbug skills but you will also have the chance to extend help to Agora’s street children as well.

See you there!

Things to do in Davao City: Charity Bingo every Sunday

This post is the first for Mindanaoan’s “Things To Do [in a particular Mindanao city or Mindanao province]” series. Naturally, as a certified Dabawenya, the first entry is about my beloved hometown So here’s one thing you can do in Davao City on a Sunday – play bingo and help others at the same time!

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) – Davao branch is regularly hosting a Charity Bingo event every Sunday, 1-4PM at the Entertainment Area of Casino Filipino – Grand Regal Hotel, Lanang, Davao City. Each ticket only costs P300.00 (roughly US$8.00) and that entitles you to 4 bingo cards which you can use for ten (10) games (you also have the option to buy extra cards from the game marshals around the area). There are also special games like the Super 6 Bingo, Super 8 Bingo and Charity Bingo game. You can purchase your bingo cards for those special games from the game marshals (you can’t miss them, they all wear striking yellow vests)

Prizes start at P3,000. The largest prize pot starts at P100,000 (P75,000 for the Large Frame pattern). Not a P300.00 investment if you win P100,000, right?

What’s also cool about this regular Sunday afternoon bingo session at PAGCOR Davao City is that there’s a beneficiary (or two). So this charity bingo event is not only a fun way to spend your Sunday but also a way for you to help others.

If you’re interested to purchase tickets, you may call PAGCOR Davao at (082) 2343997 or 2343998.

Have fun and good luck!
