In this video, we dive into the vibrant and ever-growing tech community scene in Cebu, Philippines. From its humble beginnings in 1999 with mailing lists like the Cebu GNU/Linux Users Group (Cebu GULUG), to the explosion of tech communities between 2014-2017, Cebu has become a hub of innovation and collaboration. BJ, the president of Cebu Tech Communities (CTC), shares insights on how tech community leaders in Cebu have come together to form a dynamic support system, exchange knowledge, and create opportunities for each other.
