As always, we think we could have gone longer, but that will have to wait until the next meetup!
Thank you again to RareJob for warmly hosting us for March. Special thanks to Marvin Relente, Aaron Medina, Gio Perez, Mark Saludares, and the RareJob HR and Admin Teams for making this event a success!
Agile Philippines meetups happen every last Wednesday (mostly) of a month. This is a community event, and is only made possible by the people who go to the meetups, and the organizations who open their doors to allow us to meet as a community.
Please do reach out to our Facebook group if your organization is interested in hosting a future meetup.
See you later this April at Manulife Philippines in Makati City at their new offices! We will be one day early (Tuesday), April 23! See you!
