I think I missed the update for this. Did we all vote for this? How much budget for these shirts?
Is there really a need for us to spend money on t-shirts?
How many t-shirts do we need? Is it really necessary?
Sorry, I just thought we should think about long-term goals. Just my honest opinion. Sorry, If I am no help to this community. I am busy organizing the CEBU STEEMIT CONVENTION.
Yes. I respect your opinion @purepinay.
Good luck & God bless to CEBU STEEMIT CONVENTION.

Are these people that we are giving the shirts to already on steemit?
There are other ways to (expose) promote steemit without us spending money.
We cannot keep giving away free money, free money meaning we are using the community's money to spend on these shirts. I understand the purpose but we have to be a little conservative when it comes to 'how we spend'. I hope I am making a little sense.
Thank you for getting back on me @jassennessaj. I really appreciate your time. Where are the others? Have you talk to them recently? Are they all on discord?
This isn't free money. Its a Steemit-Funded thing. Just like the World Food Day Celebration - Money is just a substancial thing, it is still powered by Steem. Most likely, we want to build communities here. I understand your point @purepinay, thank you for sharing such.
The post indicates the registered Steemians availing the shirt :). I understand there are a lot of ways, but its the way we feel for the community to be better.
Just like yours, the way you spent for your Steemit convention. When in fact, you can do online orientations.
@jassennessaj, there is a difference. The Steemit convention is coming out of my own pocket. Not even from funds generated from Steemit. Im also not soliciting funds from the community, or asking for any help.
@purepinay is just trying to help you all succeed, by maintaining a conservative balance on the steemph wallet.
You may think this is the most effective way to grow, and I hope we can sit down together before or during the conference to talk about some ideas I have.

Thanks Rob for dropping by. Btw, we see no problem posting these kind of things to fund the shirts. Besides, we don't have that money as you have and as what we always think : We wanted a steemit initiativr also be funded by Steemit. There are posts intended for our earnings, and there are also posts intended to be poured to the community.
If time allows. We'll do our best on your steemit convention.
@jassennessaj,
If you can believe I was not born into money. I worked hard, and retired when I was 25; Because I differentiated between wants/needs. I never sell advice, and give time to anyone that would like to be in this same position.
I want nothing more than to see all Filipino Steemians to get wealthy from this platform. However, by creating T-shirts for a specific group, seems counterintuitive to wealth generation.
Spending money as soon as it comes in, places your group in stagnation and you will sit idle while many other communities that come after you, pass you by.
For instance, if this posts makes 50 SBD and you spend it today, it's worth roughly $50.
By powering up, you would be able to compound this amount, and multiply it's worth by 2-3x in time.
This is the biggest issue I would like to discuss at the convention.
I am a friend, and hope this post doesn't offend you. I am just blunt with my words, as is @purepinay.

@rcarter.witness you forgot to mention, because of this event, I have to do all the cleaning and laundry and the fridge is empty btw! How sweet! LOL I wonder why I'm so skinny! =p (I am not trying to give a guilt trip, I just wish we don't have to spend 'a such' amount for this event!) I cannot even sleep anymore!
@jassennessaj:
Everything is going to be great not just okay. I don't mind eating some sweet potatoes and grass everyday, am used to eat anyways. LOL
I'll see you guys soon. Just sorting out some stuff for the convention. TC always!
and look I made myself a new steemy logo, LOL
