WordPress Manila Meetup – January 2026

2026-Jan-31. Saturday.

Here are some photos from the WordPress Manila January Meetup to kickoff the year. The theme/topic was "WordPress: Now & Next - Trends, Tools, and the Future of the Platform".

It was my pleasure to start off the event with a brief introduction of the organization.

On behalf of my co-hosts, fellow organizers and volunteers - Thank you to our Speakers, Food Sponsors, Venue Sponsor (White Cloak Technologies), and especially all Attendees.

"Welcome to your Tribe."

Hat tip to:

• Jhimross, Jevi, and Dan for the intro deck.
• Drew for twisting my arm to co-host to do the intro.
• John Carlo for the photos.

"Accidentally called a power point presentation a power point presentation instead of a slide deck and now everyone in this meeting knows I'm (pushing 50)."
