Don't worry about the merging groups.
I am a big fan of smaller steemit groups, as I laid out in my first witness post.
So anytime you want to have a steemit-meetup in Cebu... Just get a small group together over coffee and shoot ideas past each other.
If you have to always wait for a big groups schedule, many members will have conflicting schedules and it won't happen so often.
You could even team up with some of your closest friends in Cebu...And create collab-blogs. Make it a series...Once a week, make a blog with someone else from Cebu. Maybe it would be a blog where you would interview a total stranger...or your favorite barista. Or try a new coffee shop every week, and blog about that. The possibilities are endless.
I will keep everyone posted on the convention I'm planning, thanks for the message :)

I'm not worried about the merge, I was happy about it because it only means that we had grown and that we are on the right tract. Looking forward for the convention.
