Schedule taken from http://iblogph.org. Actual video footage of parts of the event can be viewed from http://philippineselection.blogspot.com/. You can also click on the names of the speakers to view their respective blogs.
Some notes from the event. I joined the registration committee and some of the participants were looking for a programme. The organizers somewhat forgot about printing a programme. But then, that was only a minor problem. Overall, the event is still a success.
Brian Gorell made his presentation via Youtube. I think his talk and his blog is somehow inconsistent, as his blog presents everything against what he talked about.
I find it hard to give credibility to pinoyblogero, the next one who talked about getting into problogging. I don’t know, this is coming from a technically non-blogger perspective (obviously I have a blog, but I write as I please; not for whatever else goal). I happened to be a person who gives credit based on what I hear or read from you, not by what your name implies. My seatmate told me that he had come across the speaker’s blog once, I haven’t. And his presentation, for ME, is lacking. I missed his point. If he happened to come across this entry, I am not sorry if he read it. Take it as a pointer, man.
The next two topics were interesting: photoblogging and blog to print. Juned of baratillo.net showed off his different photography instruments, a.k.a, cameras. And by gawd, I was envious. Phonecam, digicam, TLR, fisheye, SLR, about three more, you name it. He also advised that he still prefer manual than digital photography. On the other hand, blog to print speaker Jonas Diego discussed how blogging serves as a medium for comic artists like him.
The afternoon topics can be described as a haiku. A pretty heavy topic sandwiched by lighter ones. Coy Caballes of CokskiBlue and Arlene Apollo of Google Philippines showed a video presentation regarding podcasting and video blog or vlog. Though the sounds were not polished (in our presentations in school, we dubbed the ‘scripts’ so the class can hear it more audibly), they were witty enough PLUS they also featured vlogs such as that of HappySlip.
Atty. JJ Disini shared the copyright issues and concerns involved in blogging. Linking is under fair use, also quoting short parts, i.e., 10% of the text or at most 200 words. Some asked questions whether uploading a whole show in youtube can be considered copyright infringement, even if the show you uploaded includes you. The answer: yes, it is copyright infringement. Reason: the show holds all the rights for their videos, even though you, yourself are invited or interviewed in there.
Next off is Ms Noemi Dado, who discussed how to advocate through blogging. Her blog, YanAngPinay, filipinaimages.com is advocating on how to change the image of Filipina we see online.
The last speaker is a blogger from Davao City, Ria Jose. She has a couple of blogs published, and I wonder how she gets to monitor all those. Her slides made me crave again to go to Mindanao and explore all their wonderful places.
At the end of the day, I have scribbled down a total of 47 blogs from the speakers, sponsors and participants. Here’s the list in alphabetical order:

Thanks, Ms Janette! I had lots of fun. Definitely, I’ll be there again next time - provided there’s no conflict of schedule.
Posted by nopermanentaddress at May 1, 2008, 6:34 pmI wish I had the time for this event, but Jester In Exile went for the team over at FilipinoVoices.com, I’m thinking this is how you have our blog in your list…
I know Jester had emailed me the other day that someone over at Iblog spoke about it, especially when the topic of politics and elections came up.
Well, good to know that we are on the radar of more bloggers these days, considering that we have just been on the map for around a month.
Anyway, do visit Filipino Voices and give us your take on the issues of the day, and if you are joining the Emerging Influential blogger roundup, I hope you consider FilipinoVoices in your top 10..
