Cebu means Center of Business

One time there was a Filipino speaker introduced the Philippine Country to some foreigners. He cited some of the potentials in the country but suddenly a foreigner raised his hand and asked, is the Philippines located in Cebu?

Cebu is known both national and global because it was remarkable in history that this is the place where a foreign invader (Magellan) failed to his intention. Lapu-lapu killed Ferdinand Magellan in their battle in 1521 when Magellan tried to Christianize the people of Mactan Island. It marked the first success of Filipinos over foreign invaders.

With the arrival of Jose Lopes de Legazpi in the following years, there was the first establishment of the government with various religious congregations and eventually spread throughout the country for sometime when the resources in the island was dramatically endangered.

Today, Cebu has a number of potentials such as the popular grand traditional festival ‘Sinulog” happen every third Sunday of January. Lots of people are coming over. The beautiful beaches and resorts like Bantayan, Badian, Malapascua, Moalboal, etc. The sky rise building and hotels like the Crown Regency, Winland, etc. The SRP (South Road Project) is soon to have more huge buildings and businesses. The huge Airport (MCIAA) in Mactan that would travel worldwide. The Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) where international conventions are to be made. And many others.

Cebu is also considered a hotspot for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). Recently there is a quite number of BPO’s running in the province like Converges, e-telecare, Qualfon, etc. which is mostly found in Lahug IT Park.

Indeed, Cebu has various potential for business. It is the Center and hotspot for attraction among investors and businessmen. The queen of the south. According to surveys Cebu is ranked eight in Top 10 Asian Cities; just second to Quezon City. In fact Cebu is very keen in pursuing the federalism type of government to have a better avenue for more progress.

Valentine's Day is for Val And Tine's Date

We experience a cold environment while celebrating the Valentine’s Day. Just yesterday that the rain never ceases and continued throughout the night. What a great opportunity! Today it’s about 22 to 30 degrees here at Cebu according to the forecast. There’s a low pressure area that hit our country and much of our neighboring regions but nevertheless the occasion shall continue. This can not be stop by any intervention. It is built strong in the mind of all people.

Although we have this kind of environment just this morning (early) I already received text greetings saying ‘Happy Valentines Day”. Wow what a great start of the day! You know what I replied “Happy Val And Tine Date Too”.

The current notion for Valentine is actually the point of my response. Because correct me if I’m wrong if you don’t have partner on this day you can not really feel the essence of the Valentine’s Day. You feel incomplete, right? So today is the for Val And Tine’s Date alone.

Caution: Please be careful with the kind of environment that we have right now. It has something a message that we must understand…

Good luck to your business And Happy Valentine to everybody.

I mean what a waste of my time! Fortunately, I found some like affiliation to receive you know a percentage from advertisers sales, this is called commission. Also, there is this pay per click program. Customers were just click on the ads on your web then you earn a money on it. But make sure that clicks are done on their genuine interest otherwise you will lose it. Anyway once you have already with the online community you will learn more about this.

Sinulog: Experienced with Santo Niño

With Santo Niño

I believe that we still have different experiences though we are in the same place. We may have the same goal but we have different ways to attain it. Or we might think of the same thing but we do not agree on the choices. My point is actually sharing with you my strange experiences, thoughts and purposes during the Sinulog Festival. Of course you are entitled to your own. It would be boring if I will write everything so I will only highlight some important events in my journey during the celebration. Please lend your eyes and patience to go through with this without any interest…

During the grand procession the day prior the main event I did not join. The faithful devotees of Sr. Santo Niño may take charge of something against me but that was really what happened. I am also a religious and faithful man but that time is not for me. I gave it to guests and visitors. I knew I will add the very crowded march of devotees. Again, I did not join instead I walked to colon and just observed what the other people are doing. And I see people who were somehow similar what I did. But the important is I there was something in my mind.

Suddenly, it came out to my mind the wonder of the Festival. I said to myself, “Like this situation we need something to let the people came together in one place and do something more than this”. Imagine very far places that these people came from, let the people sacrificing, walking because jeepneys and other vehicles are no longer allowed to enter, maintaining security, spending time all night in Mango Avenue, Fuente Osmeña, Sogo, etc., quite costly because people, media, government, agencies, and institutions were integrated and concentrated in one place and a particular event. These things were made possible because of one thing, Sinulog Festival. One beat, one dance and one vision as according to the mighty theme.

The Sinulog Festival is really great. I think the idea behind this can also be used for another. I mean, it did integrating the people, media, schools etc. , we can also do it for another reason, right? Well, it may take long to do because Sinulog is a tradition, a long practice. It is based on norms. But the thing is we could copy the spirit of this practice and put it on another way. And that is the subject of my another blog.

My experienced with Santo Niño was really momentous. I was able to think another possibilities to let the people again unite and integrated. You! How did you go with Santo Niño during the Sinulog Celebration?

SINUBLOG: My Sinulog 2009 blog

Nothing is more than the Sinulog Festival in Cebu. One beat, one dance and one vision. Pit Señor!!!

More than friendster. This is a better vice for you.

This is true because it comes out from my real experience.

It was not so long time ago that I became a member of the Friendster Community because I just learn basics of computer and internet. That was when I am already in college. During my high school years these things are no known to me. So I got difficulty at first in making my account. Actually my intention of entering this world of friendster was just not to be left behind to the fad of friendster because I think I was the only one who has not yet. And fortunately I made it with the help of my friends. But later part of my experiences with the friendster, I found myself addicted on it. I usually visit my account and put something new and designs on it. Unknowingly, I enhance my ability and knowledge about this technology. But after all of these I realized that it is not enough. I should not only rely on adding friends, changing layouts, etc. but I must have also find another ways to enhance my skills in essay writing and more. Unexpected time has come to me. I was approach by another friend of mine who introduces his new vice, a blog. Then I got curious what is it about and how it differs with other blogs which I could also found in friendster. Then, he said, this is something different. This is cool. You will be earning money from this. Just create an account in www.blogspot.com with your gmail account and start blogging. You should also apply for the adsense program because it is there where you could get money from relevant ads of your content site. Oh really! I said. And I really found it very cool and interesting. I created my own site which is dependent on my desire. I have my new storage of my ideas. And I have a new vice better than friendster. Well, I did not leave or delete my friendster account. I just make something more than it which I could also make myself proud of. Blogs is really cool as I have experience. Maybe you could also do same what I have started and with my fellow bloggers. Try to experience it by accepting the challenge. Yes you can do it. Promise!
