Wiki Society of the Philippines:
[edit]- The Wiki Society of the Philippines (WikiSocPH) would like to extend its support to any event that serves to forward the best interest of the Wikimedia community in the Philippines as a whole. As much as possible, these should be led by groups which are motivated to serve both our local community and the Wikimedia movement at large. The people and affiliates – both official and unofficial – behind the push for the ESEAP Summit in 2025 are deeply committed to the movement and advancing this ideal, and as such we are glad to lend our support accordingly.
- We strongly believe that it is in the best interest of the movement in the Philippines to get together and collaborate on issues of common concern and of projects which advance our shared vision and values. Getting together to organize and host the ESEAP Summit is in our common interest. The existing divisions within the community in the Philippines may persist, but these should not hinder us from working together where we can and must. The movement is bigger than us, and should always be.
- WikiSocPH looks forward to collaborating, supporting and growing together with all the groups involved in this endeavor, and to not only showcasing our warmth and hospitality, but also our continuing collective commitment to the Wikimedia movement in the Philippines and beyond.
