Just got back from dinner at Dads/Saisaki on an invitation by BitStop’s top guy Wilson Chua. They were in Makati for a two day seminar so they called me up to have dinner with him, his wife and in-laws just to touch base and exchange stories. I was surprised to learn that BitStop was ran by the whole family — yeah, these guys are all tech-savvy.
They were a cool bunch and told me tons of stories on how they survived the ISP industry in the last decade (and Migs’ name always pop out in the conversations). Being in the local hosting industry myself, this opportunity to exchange ideas and collaborate on future projects was an enriching meet-up.
Topics abound and industry insider info were shared, though I can’t really blog about them (highly confidential). Ahh, and yes, that FarmOut spamming incident here and PTB too.
One of the projects we’re looking into was to collaborate and utilize all our IT resources in pushing advocacies like expanding awareness for the Guimaras Oil Spill on the internet and maybe helping pool donations or fund drives.
We all need some more helping hands around.
retz has a picture of the oil spill. i’ve blogged about it and i am just willing to push that in my blog. just tell me what to do.
