Since most of the members are not available during this meeting and topic needs to be discussed ASAP, we just proceeded even though there were just 5 of us; namely JunnJun, Greg, Marcos and Me.

So what has been discussed?

• Media Pass
  • The group created a draft letter to be given to Tourism officers.

Iloilo Bloggers

• Fund Raising
  • Christmas Caroling seems too hard to be implemented since not everyone are active. Greg suggested we just focus on building the group for more people to be aware of us.
• Awareness Activity
  • We approach event organizers to let us cover the event and acknowledge the group. (Example, during Tigkaralag festival, I called the tourism officer if Iloilo Bloggers could cover the event, and during the event they acknowledge us even if it was just me covering it. It was nice hearing Iloilo Bloggers is one of the media covering the event. – LATEST: Greg has informed me of a Fashion show, which I forwarded to those interested like Vince, who blogs about Fashion)
  • We need to contact shops or any company owners to inform us if they have promos or sale so that those interested bloggers could blog about it. (Ex. The sale at Off-Price store, info could be seen at Explore Iloilo and Gigs Ilonggo as informed by the Manager – who is luckily one of of members, Efren)
• Membership fee
  • This is one resort for us to have funds, at first during our previous meeting, we discussed Php 100 which will cover the ID, so we raised it to Php 200 [to be confirmed by the President] just enough for the group to have funds. (better to discuss on the next meeting)
• Next Meeting
  • Saturday, November 14, 2009 – 6PM – venue needs to be discussed.
