iLuvCebu, in partnership with Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu, had a post Earth Day gathering in time for the Worldwide Instameet 13. The WWIM is a global action of a collective assemblage of local instagrammers from different parts of the world, giving an avenue for instagrammers to meet and share best practices. In addition to that, the local WWIM celebration dubbed as #iLuvCebuInstameet: #LifeOnEarth aimed to give a wider grasp on ocean conservation to the meet’s attendees; and to capture and share snaps portraying the global unified instameet theme: “Life on Earth.”
Being awarded another certification from Green Globe a few months ago, Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu was the perfect venue for the local Worldwide Instameet 13 which happend last April 23, 2016. #iLuvCebuInstameet: #LifeOnEarth is just one of the many activities that Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu is supporting to help spread awareness on environment protection.
Short talks about Ocean Conservation and Tips & Tricks on taking great instagram photos were conducted by Miss Scuba International 2013 First-runner up Christine Paula Love Bernasor and Two-time suggested Instagrammer Marco Paulo Diala respectively.
