@steemitph's been doing analysis on country specific tags as contribution to Utopian, one observation is that the user-base in each of the country tags analyzed to-date is concentrated in bigger cities. In the Philippines for example, the bulk of the user-base are from Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao. Those are the big cities in the three main islands; Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
In support of @steemph's vision "Building Communities | Enriching Lives", @steemph.manila will go on a meet up caravan with these objectives:
Start or improve engagement between existing Steemians located outside of Metro Manila
Provide educational materials to improve existing Steemians' experience in the platform with the help of @steemnest
Encourage Steemit promotion among existing Steemians by requiring them to bring a non-Steemian friend to the meet ups
Explore community related events in each location to improve visibility for Steemit, and support @steemph's vision
Bulacan Meet Up
This will all start with a Bulacan Meet Up on February 17, 2018. You can read about that in this post and a few updates here.
