For last Wednesday's meetup our #SteemPhilippines group did something different . . we headed to @jancharlest's house to celebrate his 22nd birthday 😊

This was an especially important birthday since @jancharlest is one of the co-founders of our @steem-ph project, he was in attendance at our 1st #SteemPhilippines meetup and was also a founding member of our FB group chat before it was named #SteemPhilippines.

Our online Facebook group chat was originally called @steemovers, and it was founded by @jemmanuel.

Then in 2018, while @chrisrice was looking for online Facebook groups about #steem, he contacted @jancharlest after finding him in the @steemitdavao Facebook group. @jancharles invited him to the @steemovers group chat and from there, @chrisrice started getting active in the @steemovers group.

Later that year @chrisrice bought the domains Steem.com.ph and Steem.ph among others, @jemmanuel renamed the @steemovers group #SteemPhilippines and after consistent talk about meeting in person, @jancharlest met with @chrisrice and @nathansenn on August 23rd, 2019.

@jancharlest has also been active in bringing new people to the #steem blockchain since he works at the Remote Tasks Bootcamp in Davao where he is exposed to a lot of young talent, especially IT graduates and software developers.

THE PARTY:

The members of our group that joined in the birthday get together included @hiddenblade, @spintwister, @postnzt, @usveteran, @viverlie, @chrisrice, @emafe and of course the birthday celebrant, @jancharlest.

To top it off, our group bought a birthday cake for him with his @jancharlest username signed on the cake!
