TaskUs Made These Ridiculous Pedestrian Lanes in Bohol

The good people from TaskUs just made things brighter at their Tagbilaran City site in the province of Bohol. The most common pedestrian lane they used in the city just got spruced up which they call Ridiculous Roads: BOHOL, a project aimed to uplift the morale of the people of this city after they got hit with Typhoon Odette. It's been hard for much of the populace and seeing these pedestrian lanes in colorful ways would surely give the Boholanons a needed boost.

The artwork was done by Pahid Murals, a local art group that can commission work. This also comes after their recent voluntary employee donation campaign which amassed 2.6 Million pesos to help build homes of those affected by the typhoon. They also have some done in Antipolo City for road safety causes, it's quite awesome to see how TaskUs does community projects like these til now.

Congratulations to the men and women who are striving hard to change the lives of the people of Bohol, I hope it comes back to you ten fold.

Huawei Holds Philippine ICT Roadshow 2015

We got invited to cover Huawei's ICT Roadshow which happened in Dusit Thani in Makati, Philippines. It's an opportunity to learn, and how Filipino information technology decision makers would be able to take advantage of the many hardware advancements that Huawei can actually provide for servers, mobile devices and make internal network efficiency and security a reality. Huawei Philippines has been one of the leaders in this industry and they've been working hand in hand with government agencies, private corporations and institutions to help in nation building. Tall order, but its achievable. It's a give and take thing, and I think that if they want to grow as a company, they had to make changes and show what they could offer the Philippines. 

As Jackie Gao CEO of Huawei says "We are trying to make things possible. We believe technology and communication will enrich lives. Let's build a connected Philippines."

To open the event, they also invited Mr. Monchito Ibrahim of DOST and he says "June is the ICT month in the Philippines and we've seen how the internet has revolutionized the way Filipinos live their lives. Internet fuels the economy too, jobs have been created there. 18.6 US dollars has been generated in the ICT alone, being connected is sharing ingenuity and innovation. The real test is how to make challenges be resolved locally and start digitally empowering our countrymen even in the countryside. We are optimistic that the free internet program to be launched in major cities soon will make no Juan be left behind. As we aim to be the global leader in this sector, innovations through commerce has been done together with ICT corporations like Huawei like  the startup challenges we held last month and I wish everyone would help make this country a global leader in this segment." He also mentioned he used to compete with Huawei in the past, he was glad to be invited this time to speak in front of tons of IT professionals that afternoon.

The projected 6.4 GDP growth this year, low inflation rate and additional employment will make business models in connectivity a success in the Philippines because it is innate in Filipino homes to stay connected. We have millions of cellphone subscribers and are still expected to grow. The NTC is working with also with Huawei in making sure stakeholders are taken cared of. The new normal in the Philippine climate will make disaster response and security solutions to be put in place, Huawei can help the country in this sector. ICT will thrive in the years to come, increase in broadband connectivity increases a country's GDP to result in a more robust economy.

Jubert Alberto of IDC Philippines says "No company can survive without the heavy use of social media as we continue to change marketing strategies and becoming omni channeled so they can thrive on platforms. Telcos should provide stable and reliable connectivity so we all can gain access to cloud and big data services. BPO's will push more emerging business models as services. There is a rise in millenials and they want it now, they want it fast, there is a large room for growth and I hope Huawei would be able to help the Philippines".

They also launched the OceanStor V3 which are enterprise level storage systems that can still adapt older devices and new ones so they can work together (hardware and systems) without totally phasing them out. That would save corporations a lot of money in the long run and the premise is, big data plus reliable storage units can adapt to new technology with their devices running it. There will be more network and mobile devices that Huawei will be dishing out in the next few years. Information officers should take a look at what's possible to salvage so they can still efficiently use rather than changing whole systems abruptly which will need more resources like manpower, hardware, plus training costs. Congratulations Huawei for a very successful ICT Roadshow, I really learned a lot!

Wrangler Roadshow: Find Your Edge; Fall/Winter Collection 2012

Wrangler has definitely been one of the brands this country has been obsessed with. I got a few pairs of my own and it's been years since I last got one. The new designs, shirts and jackets were much of a surprise for me. I must have been living under a rock all these years.

They did up the ante these past few years and the local market has been definitely making headway on introducing new but signature originals (in design) the brand is known for. Right in the middle of Robinsons Manila, they got us hooked up on the Wrangler Roadshow. We were in for a treat!

Remember this guy from Project Runway Philippines Season 3? Yes he's part of the Wrangler brand and he's Joseph Montelibano.

This gorgeous lady from Studio23/ETC hosted the show. It was high time they show what WRANGLER's got for this season!

And so it started!

Seeing some plaid, jeans and bright colors it was rarely new to me to see it with Wrangler. It was really nice.

Simple clothes, mixed and matched with denim only Wrangler knows. It's a different execution of something western.

I'm loving the shape, texture and form on her. Wrangler has even made us a little learned about what they do in their jeans. 7 things that is totally unique in this brand was shown via video.

I think I want this one for my self. The jeans would really be perfect for me plus I'd wear my docks with it! =) Isn't this nice?

Now how can you not love an all american western rugged brand if it looks this gorgeous on people. The jeans are nice, the tops are too. If you have some on your wardrobe we'll consider you lucky. For the rest who don't have it yet, maybe a visit to your favorite boutiques and department stores can help solve that problem. This is something that became an essential now, Wrangler has a lot of promise and it's about time to make their mark and find your personal edge.
