Hi Burn. As far as I know, there’s a local event here in Cebu. There’s also an offline event in Sydney for World Bloggers’ Day – Australia. Offline events in Dubai & New Zealand are currently in the process while the rest, like Singapore, Pakistan, etc.., they are still aiming for an online event this year.
Expect more localized WBD events next year, 2012. (:
