Funny how things start.

The Philippine Web Designers’ Organization (PWDO) is now an officially registered entity in the eyes of the Philippine Securities & Exchange Commission. Here’s a scanned copy of the certificate:

But little do people know that the PWDO was sparked from a discussion thread in Plurk last September, after WordCamp 2008. Seven months after that– after sever meetings in Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Gateway Mall in Quezon City, after several planning sessions, and after bumps along the road, the PWDO is now a bonafide organization.

Thanks to the efforts of Ia Lucero, Mae Paulino, Jojo Esposa, JP Dela Torre, Alfredo Palconit, and Aja Lapus for making this registration possible.

Where do we go from here? Making the BIG Web Design Conference in July 10, 2009 happen.
