We pick them up from their inn and brought them to the Iligan City Hall for a courtesy call with the mayor. Unfortunately Mayor was too busy to accommodate us in his schedule. We also went to the Iligan City Tourism office for a courtesy call with the Head Tourism Officer of the City. There was a drizzle when we went there.
The rest of the bloggers followed at Jacko’s Kan-anan for the welcome dinner. Sandre of Pagduaw is a Bukidnon based blogger, Nanardz of South Cotabato and Doc Remo of Hikers Itch was there too. The bloggers were welcomed by the members of the Iligan Bloggers Society Inc. The President of the Chamber of Commerce in Iligan City was there too to welcome the bloggers in the city.

It was a night of camaraderie and getting to know people. We also have set their expectations about the event and what to expect when we get to the place. Unilab was so generous to have equipped us with vitamins and hygiene kits for the event. We also got them some shirts, reflex kits and their Official ID’s for the event.
