A couple of weeks ago, I shared a planned meet up in Bulacan in this post. Both @dandalion and I have been actively participating in events organized by our @steemph family, and thought about organizing a meet-up for our locality, getting to know other steemians from our area, and potentially having community related activities in Bulacan that will uphold @steemph's goal to "Build Communities, and Enrich Lives" by promoting Steemit.
After the announcement we have since been busy preparing. We started with tools. We bought a portable that is quite optimized for presentation. We still need to get around buying a good quality projector and are open for your recommendation. We are thinking of between 15,000 - 18,000 PHP price range, and gives consideration to lumens, lamp's lifespan, and sturdy make.
We thought of these as investments since we are now thinking that the Bulacan Meet Up will just be the start of a @steemph Meet Up Caravan. From Bulacan we will go to Provinces towards the north of the Philippines.
We Need Your Help For the Meet Up Caravan
If you are from these provinces (Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, Pangasinan, Benguet, Ilocos) and you are interested in helping us organize a meet up, please leave a comment on this post and we will reach out to you. You can also contact us through discord as @dandelion and @steemitph, Steemit Chat as @steemitph, and my Facebook profile is linked to my Steemit profile you can also message me there.

28 total number of attendees so far. We need help with confirmation of your attendance and the count of friends you will bring along so we can finalize with the venue. It'll be great to have this by February 6, Tuesday. I will be sending my mobile number via an encrypted message to everyone in this list for faster communication.
Pictures for Souvenirs
For Steemian attendees we would need help with your photo that you wish us to use for this fridge magnet souvenirs. You can send us your photo via discord, or Facebook messenger.
Your non-Steemian companion will also get a souvenir with the @steemph logo shown below. If they have signed up from when we first posted about the meet up, please share their usernames and photo as well.
New Venue
The earlier identified venue will not provide a place where we can have a discussion about the topics we really wish to cover. We searched for a venue where we can have an area that will be exclusive to us, where we can use a projector, and will have minimal to no noise so we can have meaningful and uninterrupted discussion. Bahay na Tisa is a Family Style - Filipino Restaurant located in Independencia St., , Malolos City, Bulacan. Here is a link to a map to guide you. If you are coming from Malolos crossing, it is just before you reach the historical Barasoain Church.
@dandalion and @littlesteemitph can be seen in this photo settling the down payment for the venue. We are scheduled for 3:00PM - 6:00PM so we ask the participants not to be late. We will be there at 2:30PM to set the place up and will start the program at exactly 3:10PM. Please contact myself and @dandalion in discord or by commenting on this post for any questions, alternatively you will also get an encrypted message from me with my mobile number and you can contact me through that.
We are very excited to meet everyone and hope that you all feel the same. See you all soon!
