From the team that brought us last years G-DayX Mindanao, Google Business Group (GBG) Gensan brings us an even more googlier, G-Day GenSan! The event took place at SM City Gensans Trade Hall 1, last May 3, 2014. 250 participants stormed the trade hall, and were pumped up by a flash zumba session to the tune of Pharells 'Happy', by Donna Mae Congson, from Gensans own Legendz, along with GBG Gensan members.

G-Day Gensans highlights were of course were the talks, participants were dazzled by speakers who bring out the awesomeness of various Google tech available. The Googly event was hosted by quirky Orman Manansala, GBG Gensans Co-Manager.

In between talks, prizes were given away, served lunch, Q&A floor was opened in order for the participants quires to the speakers. All in all it was a fun filled, inspirational and informative day. Some might argue that technology has its downsides, can't say that its untrue, but its how we use those information available at our fingertips, that define us. It is how we act toward this galaxy of limitless possibilities, whether we use it for our destruction or for our victory.
