Boom goes the caroling
It's quite funny how many would consider Christmas caroling as a Pinoy Christmas tradition as Pinoy as puto bumbong and the parol. (Though one can always argue that Christmas or Christianity for that matter is native.) It's quite interesting to look back at past...
There and back again
Oh that should be the least of your worries, Senator Angara. Those 100 academics you helped ship should come back but their return shouldn't be tied to utang na loob. It's a worthy cause for the academic but the government must be able to capitalize on these scholar's...
Challenges to e-learning continue
After a week of research and seminars, I'm compelled to re-examine my takes on e-learning in the Philippine setting. Here's a post on e-learning as an investment from two years back and here's on ICT learning in general. Technology has changed so much over the past...
Hakuna matata
I really admire how Hyundai made a killing in the US market mostly through clever marketing techniques. Offer a buyback option without impact on credit score to car buyers who are to lose jobs after the purchase during the recession? Gutsy and risky for the company...

Computer store salesmanship goes a long way
Time and again, on this blog, I've always stressed the importance of customer service. Having worked sales before, I know how tricky it is to guide a person from being a prospect to a buying client. I don't know if computer salesmanship is a totally different ballpark...
Stupid is what stupid does
Life and business guru Francis Kong has this piece entitled Stuck on Stupid in the Philippine Star. Quite an insightful piece. Met Mr. Kong in a symposium once and you have to admire the simplicity of his words. Nothing fancy but they hit the semantic nail on the head...
Breaking ads or classified news?
When did they begin considering classified ads as breaking news? So this is of national importance? Quick! A finance management position needs to be filled! The nation's economy will collapse if this doesn't get filled! It would've been a lot more interesting if its...
