Just saw this post and I find it amazing! :) I'm a newbie here. Started June 2017. This happened 3 months before I existed in Steemit. New people and lots of growth has happened ever since this post. We were able to do a very successful meetup hosted by @steemph people - great organizers! And we had a total of 37 attendees! A lot more than we expected too! We're getting more support as we launched @steemph. We're aiming for more than growth. We aim to uphold Filipinos and Philippines the right way, the Filipino way.
