Cebu Blogging Community officially started as a community Facebook group named “Bloggers of Cebu” on July 2014.
The succeeding days and months paved way in the formation of the community, thanks to the proactive leadership of Mary Narvasa, Channel Marie Imperial, Gay Aida Dumaguing and Bjorn Bernales.
Bloggers, old and new, have been given the chance and encouragement to be interactive on the community FB group by posting their recent blog posts, sharing blogging opportunities and event invitations.
In March 2015, the first Ultimate Meetup was staged at Diamond Suites Cebu where the first ever digital and bloggers manifesto in the Philippines was signed. It was at this event that many friendships formed among the bloggers.
It was during the Ultimate Meetup that the group agreed on creating guidelines, rules and regulations in posting on the community. This would help alleviate any posting that is only for self-serving purpose.
