    • ]]>     I was in the cities of Zamboanga and Isabela from 17 to 20 October for a short vacation and to touch base with the bloggers there. Thanks to Yolynne Medina and Ryann Elumba, I was also able to talk to them about WordPress.

    On 19 October, I was invited to give a talk at e.AXS Communications — Zamboanga City’s very first contact center. e.AXS is a wholly Zamboangueño-owned and -operated enterprise, which is very laudable on the part of its investors. Once this company prospers, they will pave the way for other BPO operators to come in. They are gearing up for SEO projects, and so they invited me to share my experience in SEO work. And since they are already offering website development services, I took the opportunity to introduce to them all about WordPress (and its SEO-readiness).

    Ryann, a graphics designer, videographer and WordPress user, presented Hola Zamboanga! and his other blogs to the same group. It is our hope that more Zamboangueños will take up blogging using WordPress.

    In Isabela City, I was able to meet high school and college students from different schools, thanks to my host, RJ Ian Sevilla (who has promised to get a WordPress blog as well). My time on the island of Basilan was very limited (only about 5 hours), but I have promised to be back for a WordPress seminar in the foreseeable future. I am looking forward to that because I could see the excitement in their eyes when I told them about blogging and WordPress.
