Our first week in Davao was absolutely busy, but it was meant to be that way from the initial stages of planning this trip down to finalizing our flights. We came to 
In SteemPH Davao Home Steading Brigade: An Outreach Event I shared the result of one of the two projects. In this post I will share an update about the meet up we hosted in Davao City.
The primary objective of the Davao meet up is for
Special Thanks to 
Starting from the Bulacan meet up, there is always that one Steemian who went out of his/her way to help us out with the preparations. For Bulacan it was 
Most of the attendees of this meet up was coordinated through Jass, it was also Jass and her father 
We have been a fan of Jass from the first time we saw her in the platform, and we are absolutely honored to be gifted the fab art work in the photo.
Topics & Discussion Flow
The Davao Steemians while brilliant at content creation, they have very little knowledge about the other dApps built in the Steem blockchain. They were glad to learn about the many features of 
We also referred to some of my analysis to discuss activities in relation to Steem and Steem Dollar prices, growth of the user-base, and the changes in payout in relation with prices.
There weren't a lot of questions in this meet up. This goes to show that the Davao Steemians are quite matured both in terms of experience and reputation in comparison to other locations we visited. Some of the few questions were related to usage of tags, EOS and how we see it as a direct competitor of Steem, and about the key roles and responsibilities for @SteemPH.Davao. We tried to answer these questions the best way we can, and our stand on these things are shown in our posts.
We moved on to open the positions for @SteemPH.Davao. We told the participants that our preference is to have the Davao community led by Steemians who are physically located in Davao. While
We told the participants about the many roles needed to properly run a community, and ways they can get in touch should they decide to take any of the roles. As of this writing there are already a couple of Davao Steemians who reached out for positions in the @SteemPH.Davao core team.
Local Culture & The Environment
Aside from our usual attendees and presentation, this meet up was made extra special by having Ms. Pamela Janson speak to us and the participants about one of the many issues the world is facing when it comes to environmental preservation. Pam participated in the 2017 Ms. Earth Philippines pageant, and got exposed to many advocacies and advocates for taking care of the environment while at the competition.
Davao while still a very beautiful city, is going through significant growth in terms of population both organically and from people migrating from other parts of the country. Davao is also one of the country's top destinations when it come to white sand beaches. Thus this talk from Pam was of the right subject and timing for Steemians from Davao City to hear. This YouTube video was shown to everyone for us to reflect on as part of Pam's presentation:
Davao Steemian
Also in a attendance was a group called Alampat Productions . They are advocates of promoting the local culture of Davao, and wish to bring their works and projects in Steemit. You can read about them in a recent feature article from SunStar Davao entitled Arts and Culture at VDSF. We are very excited to have them on-board @SteemPH.Davao. We feel they would really add value to the Davao community, the whole of Philippines, and Steemit with their cultural advocacies.
Overall, this is yet another successful meet up made possible through the support from all the amazing Steemians like yourself. We want to thank you for all your support!
