The Philippine Atheists and Agnostics Society will be holding its first convention tomorrow at Bayview Parks and Hotels, Manila. For those of you who are atheists, agnostics, or just someone who’re interested in learning more about atheism/agnosticism, this would be a great event to attend.

Although most of the seats were also reserved for, there will be seats provided for walk-in registrants. This may be too late a post (although I’ve already posted about this before), I’m kinda hoping to be able to liveblog portions of the convention and then give a full update after.

To all atheists and agnostics in the Philippines, this is history in the making! The first ever Atheist/Agnostics convention in religion-dominated Philippines! Let’s rock this out!
