Better late than never– I’ve uploaded phot0s from the Mozilla Firefox 4 in Manila event last April. The current gallery will get updated regularly.

A new local Mozilla community in Bukidnon had their Mozilla Firefox 4 event last month! 
Organized by the folks at Bukidnon Online, the gathering was a great way to jumpstart the local activities and doubled as a blogger meetup. According to the organizers:
All of the participants also had a grand time surfing the web using the latest version of Firefox and they all pledged to share the good news about Firefox 4 with their family and friends
After the events in Cebu and Cagayan De Oro, I’m glad that the presence of the Mozilla Philippines Community is spreading south.
On the same day the Mozilla Firefox 4 event in Cagayan De Oro was held, the folks from Cebu had their own Mozilla Firefox 4 event.
Organized by Evanjohnn Mendoza, the new local community had a great kick-off with the Firefox 4 event. According to Evanjohnn:
The gathering of Webdevs and bloggers was successful with Ruffy Heredia as our primary speaker talking about Mozilla Firefox 4, its new features and some add ons which are very useful for the bloggers.
The Cebu community’s main objective was to create a community in Cebu for Mozilla Firefox and build an awareness of the new version of Mozilla Firefox. Evanjohnn feels that they established the sense of community and were able to come up with an idea.
The good thing about this event is that it spurred excitement over creating a community in Cebu:
We want to create a small community: The Mozilla Firefox Cebu Community. Ruffy Heredia, an avid user of the Mozilla Firefox browser (and previous versions), is willing to head the community. The objectives of the community is to build small forums, discussions and meet ups so that we can learn more about the different features of the Mozilla Firefox browser at the same time build a collation of user experience data so that we can learn more what Browser users like to to do.
Wow, isn’t that awesome? Thanks to Firefox 4, there’s a new local community in the Philippines. 
Last April 30, the folks at Cagayan De Oro (CDO) had their launch event for Mozilla Firefox.
Led by Robert Egama, the budding local community had their event at the Big Flat Bread and the Firefox fans were treated to an enjoyable event. Just look at the Flickr photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/62325262@N03/) and it will show a great start for a new local community.
There were local bloggers and Firefox supporters who had short talks: Chiq Montes, Edu Segundo, and M. Lim. Robert himself shared a few things on the new features of Mozilla Firefox 4.
With the launch event, the CDO folks have been inspired to keep the ball rolling and do more regular Mozilla community events in their locale. One upcoming activity is a university talk for the summer classes.
More power to the Mozilla community and CDO and keep it up!
It’s a little late, but I’d like to recognize the awesome folks who made the Mozilla Firefox 4 launch held at the Asian Institute of Management last April 16, 2011 a big community success.
The volunteers from the Mozilla Philippines Community:
Special thanks to:
Mozilla Firefox 5 is just around the corner and I’m sure its launch will be equally awesome with the help of the volunteers and supporters.
