On the start-up organization's rapid growth, Mr.Santillan, DDI former President remarked: "When DDI was formed, we had little knowledge of just how fast or how far we could grow. But we never imagine the strong impact it will bring to Davao communities.

I am delighted that I become part of this organization, that recognized my capability.

When I first enter Davao Digital Influencers, I don't have any clue what message was sending to me, it's like a message in a bottle - there are no guarantees what will be the result, if they received, understood or appreciated my existence.

The second bonus is, that I become again DDI's Membership Coordinator. This has been the most rewarding part as a social media influencer, I love the conversation as I added new member to our team.

For the past two years, I've been laying out my support to my team, creating a shared vision, interspersed, disseminate information on building responsible social media, high performing teams, organizational changes, produced more social influencers, and navigate non-hierarchical work environments (equality of works).
