In several conversations with friends in the past, I’ve remarked that Filipinos generally have a tendency to be poor in geography. Case in point: the only geography lesson I remember ever taking was in 2nd Grade. And now here’s photographic proof!
My brother took these photos at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport II. These are tarpaulin streamers hung at the airport to entice visitors to visit the Philippines’ tourist attractions. Imagine the chagrin Dapiteños might feel seeing this. Yes, we do have nice beaches in Davao (specifically, on Samal Island), but Dakak Beach Resort is in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte.
Ever since Matt started talking about the WordCamp Philippines 2008 T-shirt design, the buzz hasn’t quite died down yet, even months after the event. Today I got a trackback to the WCP site from WordCamp Ed D.C. (WordCamp Ed is an initiative that’s focused on promoting the educational uses of WordPress.)
The post is about their T-shirt design, which looks pretty cool actually. Then it says, “Who wins the t-shirt contest — us or WordCamp Philippines?”
It’s flattering, really. Andrew and I and the rest of the WCP2008 organizers take it as a challenge, of course! But a friendly one. Personally, this makes me very proud of what we’ve accomplished in the world of WordCamps.
