#DDI: To Influence, To Engage and To Make A Difference

influence (n).

When you hear or read the word “influence,” what is the first thing that comes into your mind? The said word is defined as the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something, or the effect itself. To influence simply means to have the capacity to affect the lives of certain individuals or a particular community. I am talking about this important word because a new organization of like-minded influencers have come together to create a group of Davao-based influencers whose aim is to Engage, Influence and Make a difference.

It is my pleasure to announce to everyone that The Coffee Chic is part of Davao Digital Influencers, Inc. (DDI). which is composed of bloggers, vloggers and microblogger whose goal is to become the advocates of responsible social media use as well as to promote the Davao region’s socio-cultural agenda.

Vision: DDI Inc. aims to be the top-of-mind network of bloggers, vloggers, microblobbers, and new media practitioners in Davao region.

Mission: To utilize our influence to create positive impact in our community in order to support MSMEs, government agencies and the marginalized sector.

Why I’m Excited to be Part of the #DDIBarkada

We are different and yet alike. (Ugh, does this make sense?) This is the top reason why I am so excited to be an active member of the #DDIBarkada or #TeamDDI. Being surrounded with people who think or wants the same things like you do is quite difficult especially these days especially when there is so much diversity in our society. However, with Davao Digital Influencers, I was able to meet persons whom I can connect and interact easily because we think alike. We may be different in some aspects but one thing is for sure: we think and act alike because we want the same things which is to be able to have a good influence in our community.

We have one goal. In this day and age, almost everyone gets information or reads news online. Hence, those who can publish articles or updates and post photos on the internet should know the basic do’s and don’ts when it comes to online publication. I believe that with Davao Digital Influencers, we can help one another to be a responsible social media user and thus bringing a positive influence not only within the Davao region but all over the country.

We make a difference. I know the organization is still new but in just a short period of time, we have done a lot of things that truly make a difference. The unity of the #DDIBarkada was shown during the Kadayawan 2016 wherein the influencers really worked hard to promote the event, the city and the people. I can say that such unity was instrumental in the success of the said event. And now, I am excited with our future activities — those that are geared towards helping others and changing their lives.
