First Instameet in Gensan (WWIM15); Making History



It was a week ago when I saw this one post of @SINOPINAS announcing that they will be conducting an instameet, in celebration of the Worldwide Instameet 15, actually I heard about  “instameet” a couple of times from the group coz I Got the chance to join them when they had their SOCCSKSARGEN trip, but I really don’t have an idea on how things are done during such event so my curiosity led me to  initiate a conversation with @corvaceous (SINOPINAS executive secretary),  I told her that I really would want to join them given if I am in Metro Manila on those dates (teleport powers please, WISH!) and told her that I am hoping that one will be organize here in Gensan as well, then she gave me an idea, why not organize an Instameet in Gensan.

From that conversation, I realized that she has a good suggestion, at first I was hesitant because it might be too stressful and I can’t manage it well given that I only have a week to prepare (Oh men!) and no experience with instameet up, but knowing that she will guide me along the way, so "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED". (haha, bahala na si batman)

And so I started to look for people that could be of help in organizing the event, many were tapped among Instagram friends but  all have prior commitments except for one @wander_xangy  (buti na lang may isa), you’re the best trish!

And so after a series of messages on facebook and one meeting (a day prior to the event, but mostly our topic were irrelevant to the event, Laban lang)

the day has come (may pa last minute preparation pa si mayor na pa-props, napressure sa mga pa-props ng mga nag instameet sa ibang bansa).



Getting to know everyone and series of discussions such as traveling 101, photography 101, blogging 101, Social media marketing 101 and instagramming 101 were among the activities conducted during the instameet event. 


Batch 1
Batch 2


Photo sesh were also conducted...


with love as our binding force

we learn to unite

and walk together


to spread kindness and make our world a better place (ftc!)

once again, I would like to thank all who participated the event and for being part of history, of being the first #IGenerals (Gensan instagrammers)  who attended the First ever Instameet in Gensan and thank you also for sharing goodvibes and kindness to each and everyone.
See you again for the next instameet, SOON!
