WordCamp Philippines

WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

Pacquiao vs Barrera 2

Tomorrow, October 6 Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines will once again face Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera in a 12 round match for the super featherweight title dubbed as “Will to Win”.

The last time they fought, Pacquiao totally outclassed and floored the “Baby Faced Assassin” three times before Barrera’s corner threw in the towel in the 11th round. This time both boxers have something to prove, Barrera is determined to prove that he is the better boxer while Pacquiao wants to prove that his win was not a fluke.

Pacquiao vs Barrera 2 Press Conference

Here’s what both fighters have to say about each other and the coming fight:

“Fighting Barrera is a career highlight for me,” “He has already beaten great world champions like Erik Morales, Naseem Hamed and Johnny Tapia and I know I am going to have to train harder than I ever have before to beat him. But I am fully prepared to sacrifice and do everything necessary to beat him. And I will. It’s going to be another exciting night for fight fans.” - Manny Pacquiao

“Pacquiao and I have one thing in common and that is this is the fight we have most wanted,” “But Pacquiao should have been more careful for what he wished for because he is going to be in the fight of his life. The battle is on and I am going to leave the ring as boxing’s new No. 1 pound for pound fighter.” - Marco Antonio Barrera

Many boxing analysts consider Pacquiao vs Barrera II as the fight of the year. I’m sure this match will be both exciting and thrilling and expect both fighters to go all out. Barrera never backs down from a challenge while Pacquiao is known as a no guts no glory type of fighter.

As a proud Filipino, I’ll be rooting for Manny and hope that he wins. How about you, who do you think will win this fight? Will history repeat itself or will this be a prelude to a Pacquiao-Barrera trilogy? Share your thoughts.
