The Davao Bloggers Society held its General Assembly for 2018 on Saturday at Jollibee Bajada. It was a time to welcome the new officers of the organization, thank the past officers for their service, review policies and meet aspiring bloggers and future members.

She also handed out service awards to the past officers as well as special awards to officers and members who made significant contributions to the organization’s activities.
