ESEAP Strategy Summit 2025/Report/PhiliptheNumber1

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Kumusta! I am Ernest Malsin. I participated in the ESEAP Strategy Summit 2025 as an event volunteer. This was my first time participating in an international Wikimedia event.

I would like to express my gratitude to Sir Johnny Alegre (User:Buszmail) for selecting me as one of the volunteers to represent the Pilipinas Panorama Community (PPC) in this summit.

As a member of PPC, I will continue to advocate for and participate in the Wikimedia movement. I am also planning on writing on Diff.


Comments/Suggestions about the summit

[edit]

I had a lot of fun volunteering for this summit. The venue was nice, but the area around it was rather seedy. Malate is actually infamous for being a red-light district. Nonetheless, it was still relatively close to the airport. I enjoyed the Sunday excursion as well. I would like to thank everyone (the participants, the COT, my fellow volunteers, the hotel staff) for the wonderful experience.
