The half-day event venue was held at the St. Albertus Magnus Auditorium (Ed-Tech Center) earlier today. Attended by a couple of UST students and some friends of TomWeb.

Jojit Ballesteros of Wikimedia Philippines gave a talk on what Wikimedia (the power behind the world’s biggest encyclopedia) is and how one can create WikiPedia articles.
