Avatar Media Organizes Davao Bloggers’ Christmas Party
Bloggers at the Davao Bloggers' Christmas Party
More than twenty (20) bloggers attended the Davao Bloggers’ Christmas Party organized by Avatar Media on Friday, December 4. Held at the Mam Bebs Bakeshop in C.M. Recto St., the bloggers’ party was a combination of great company, good food, fun and surprises.
At exactly 8:00 pm, the party started with host, Migs Hipolito, welcoming the attendees. The bloggers were given the opportunity to introduce themselves and their respective blogs.

It was then followed by a short talk given by Ria Jose on the need to formalize the Davao Bloggers as a group. Shortly thereafter, the 1st set of officers of the Davao Bloggers were elected through voto a mano alzada (vote by a show of hands) and the newly-elected officers are as follows:
- President: Ria Jose
- Vice-President: Dulce Rose Lada
- Finance Officer: Dr. Charles Ortiz
- Auditor: Brendel Balaga
- Marketing/PR Officer: Chattee Lara
- IT Officer: Andrew dela Serna
- Logistics Officer: Lyle Santos
The official name of the group, Davao Bloggers, was also chosen in the same manner.
