Weekly Report as Country Representative of the Philippines: August 22-2022 until August 28-2022

I came to realize that it's more than 4 years now since I'm in Steemit. This journey has taught me so many lessons and reasons to stay active on this platform. Yes, rough days are real, adjusting to the new rules and everything. But as long as we continue to believe that the Steemit Team is doing all those rules for the betterment of this platform, then we are on the right track.

Today, September 2-2022 I am pleased to share with you my fifth weekly report of activities that I performed as a Country Representative of the Philippines for the past week.

My report will cover the following topics;

• Booming Report
• Community Updates
• Community Observation
• My #burnsteem25 posts this week
• My account and Steem Power status

Booming Report

---

Below is the detailed report of posts submitted for the Tier 2 Booming Support Program.

All posts are from verified members and carefully chosen by the moderators if they followed the Steemit protocol.

Community Updates

---

As we wanted to invite more members to join our community, together with my co-admin/CR @loloy2020 and the rest of the Moderators from the different major islands of the Philippines, we suggest having a referral program. In this way, we can motivate our members to bring their friends to our community. The proper announcement and guidelines about this matter will be announced soon.

Community Observation

---

• As I have observed this week, more and more members are now using the #burnsteem25 tag. But it's unavoidable that something goes wrong like the other day when SC02 called our attention for the reason one of our members made a mistake where in she forgot to set 25% to @null. We have already reached out to her and reminded her to follow the proper tag rules.

• My #burnsteem25 campaign was a great help to the newbies, this time I wanted to make a post in our language on what should be done to improve the quality of our members' posts to attract the possible curators' upvotes so that our members will be inspired to keep on posting.

	The Story of Aling Marites

I created a post about Aling Marites, the famous "Ali" on social media in our country. There I narrated her bad sides and good sides. If you wanted to know more about her, you can read my article about it.

My account and Steem Power status;

---

• I have powered up more than 100 steem this week. I now have a total of 16,802.749 steem power

• I have supported almost all posts in our community under the #steemexclusive and #burnsteem25 tags.

• I have maintained my #club100 status.

Conclusion

I admit that fewer Filipinos nowadays remain active and continue their faith in this platform. A lot of those who are also good content creators now choose to be dormant. I just can't help to look back on what we've been through way back in the time when there were so many Filipino Steemians who were active and heard testimonies from students saying that they use their earnings for their education. It's a great feeling how Steemit help them and changed their lives since some of them are from less fortunate families.

Maybe I am just kind of emotional thinking about those days and missing them. Now that I am one of the country's representatives I am thinking about how can I bring Steemit back to our place where we all enjoy and have fun on this platform. I am hoping that those old Steemians will be back again. Honestly, I reached out to some of them but seems they have their priorities now.

Country Representative from the Philippines,
