Judging by the depression

First it was ACS that retrenched its 900 employees, then came another thousand from Citibank and now another 3,000 from Intel Philippines.

Just last week an estimated 60,000 Filipinos are said to lose their work and its only January.

Etelecare was already bought by the Ayalas whilst saving its thousands of employees from losing jobs.

And the government has the gall to proclaim that the economy is doing well and can accommodate the ones who are going to loose their jobs.

The question is what are the jobs that the government has to offer?

Baguio and INC

Freezing your butt in Baguio in one of the recorded coldest in history is not a happy thought.

For one your skin breaks because its freakin dry as well as your lips.

Also washing your hands is torture while taking into account them people who like me are more accustomed to washing their behind after taking a crap instead of the usual tissue.

It was that cold really, that people are literally shouting “Its coming! Its coming” like an angel of death and you can feel the chill run up your spine even when you’re wearing a real exaggerated (supposedly hot) sweater. And we’re in a highly populated area of baguio that was the downtown market.

Ninoy and Marcos

In a strange twist of fate The almighty has allowed the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos have a chat in a small cafe in heaven to talk about the situation of the Philippines with his arch-nemesis Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino. The cafe is brimming with Angels taking their coffees in adequate sips; What transpired are as follows:

N: So it has come to this huh?
M: What do you mean Ninoy?

N: Seeing you right now it seems like you’re doing well.
M: I’m not sure myself Ninoy all I can remember is the face of my beloved Imelda before I died… then it was all black.

Why Should You Outsource Your SEO In The Philippines?

Why Should You Outsource Your SEO In The Philippines?

By: Carol Bustos-Santiago
Outsourcing has evidently been the smart thing to do for American and European businesses even way before the onset of the global economic turmoil. At the turn of the century, customer service hotlines were directed to developing countries such as the Philippines and India. As a matter of fact, the strong demand for offshore call centers made Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) one of the leading industries in the Philippines today. As wages for professionals soar in an unstable economy, companies in the first world countries realized it would be highly beneficial for them to outsource other aspects of their businesses for obvious cost-effective reasons. In the recent years, web design, copywriting, content editing, search engine optimization and other professional services were sought from the Philippines.

Does Google AdSense Affect Rankings?

Does Google AdSense Affect Rankings?

For all I know Google adsense doesn’t affect ranking, unless your website is a Made for Adsense (MFA) site chances are if you have good content and good number of back links then you are on the safe side of Googles rankings.

But theres a downside in having Google Adsense:

1. Google Adsense have the tendency to steal your customers if you are affiliate marketer.

2. Google Adsense have the tendency to self regulate itself and mark you as spam even if you are really just as innocent as ever.  (I’ve heard lots of fellow SEO Specialist who experienced this problem)

dsc0167323There’s a war going on.

It is a war of information while leveraging the power of the internet in giving that information as fast and reliable to each and everyone’s desktops.

And now this war has finally come at the doorsteps and the attention of running Presidential candidates in the Philippines.

It is no secret that the power of the internet played a dramatic role in the campaign of Senator Chiz Escudero following the number of contacts and traffic he got from his social networking sites (friendster, facebook, etc) not to mention the direct traffic from his website and the simple link that catapulted him in today’s youth.
