Cebu Knowledge Sharing Event Poster


WikiPagkat-on sa Sugbo means Cebu Knowledge Sharing, its an open knowledge movement for Cebuanos.

A community learning event under the Wikimedia ecosystem that brings together students, educators, creators, and local knowledge keepers to:

1. Learn how to create, edit, and protect Cebu-related knowledge on platforms like Cebuano Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

2. Document Cebu’s history, language (Cebuano/Binisaya), culture, places, and people

3. Practice responsible, verifiable, and ethical knowledge sharing in the digital age

It is similar to a 'digital bayanihan' for knowledge—but with citations.

We believe that if we don't write our story, someone else will and most often than not, it is not as accurate as it is.

A lot of Cebu's online

  • Local history
  • Cultural practices
  • Community leaders
  • Regional Perspectives

are either missing, shallow or not Cebu-centric.

WikiPagkat-on sa Sugbo helps Cebuanos become authors, not just footnotes. If Cebuano voices aren’t present, Cebu becomes invisible in global knowledge systems. That’s not neutral. That’s dangerous.
