I recently attended one of the country’s biggest blogging conferences, the Visayas Blogging Summit 2011 (VBS 2011), held in SM Cebu. I have attended similar events like the iBlog5 (UP Diliman), Visayas Blogging Summit 2010 (SM Iloilo), WordCamp (Manila) and Cebu Blog Camp (Cebu City) but putting biases aside, I think VBS 2011 was, for me, the loudest and best.
I’ve gathered several ideas and conclusions based on what has actually happened during the event and here are some of those:
30 November 2009 – Even though I was (and still am) sick during that day, I still managed to reach SM City Cebu‘s Foodcourt on an eager tummy. A small area in the entrance part of Foodcourt was well prepared, decorated and lit to give way to a first-of-its-kind food event in a mall, the Asia-in-a-Basket Bloggers Meet. I am thankful that the management of SM City Cebu made this event possible.
Asia-in-a-basket showcases the food that we Pinoys (Asians in general) are proud of. We are known to be a nation of good food, they say. And I might as well say I agree with that and probably you too. The venue has 2 tables lined with different delectable dishes from seafood to meat to pastries and more. One table is for display only (picture taking, food camwhoring) and one for us to taste. Here are some shots I took with my cam:
