Davao Digital Influencers Inc. reached an impressive milestones on its second anniversary: hitting its vision and mission to ENGAGE, INFLUENCE, and MAKE A DIFFERENCE. As part of its goal to be an advocates of responsible social media and to help promote Davao Region's socio-cultural agenda.

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. Since we are backed up with the help of our sponsors and friends, guided by advisory of our board and directors, and be able to recruit more members to our team, I believed that DDI will be forever be here with #moremilestones to come!
