Outsourcing: The Solution to these Growing Times

Outsourcing has been a growing and expanding alternative that is being employed by many companies to improve and optimize their business operations.  For many companies, outsourcing has become a necessary alternative in order to adapt to the growing and expanding times, and to cope up with the high costs of operating and running a business.

Among the commonly outsourced jobs by these companies are the IT services being offered by many agencies and freelancers.  Many companies resort to this option since outsourcing allows these businesses to save on operating costs and expenses as against hiring and training employees on their own.  Moreover, getting their own employees would also mean that they have to spend on establishing and maintaining a company department within which those employees will be placed.

But with outsourcing, these companies are relieved from the burden of maintaining a regular workforce.  Rather than looking after their employees, they could focus their efforts on the company’s main objectives while these outsourcing agencies and freelancers do the job for them.

With outsourcing, companies are able to reduce their operating costs; thus, expanding their resources to other business areas.  Accordingly, businesses can re-focus their money and investments on higher-value opportunities, as well as simplify management.

Outsourcing is the best business leverage for these growing times because it dramatically improves the efficiency of the company.  By hiring outsourcing professionals, companies are liberated from the burden of handling employees.  It simplifies day-to-day management and reduces business risks.  With outsourcing, companies can focus their efforts towards more important matters and other strategic business goals.

Cebu Prepares for Elections 2010

The Province of Cebu joins the rest of the Philippines as they prepare for the Synchronized National and Local Elections as per RA 7166 Sec. 2 slated for May 10, 2010. This will be the country’s first ever fully-automated nationwide elections.

Cebu’s political scene may not be as macabre as in other provinces or cities, but it sure is as byzantine as any arena where power is up for grabs. The long-standing squabbles and the repulsive tongue-lashing between incumbent Cebu City Mayor Tommy Osmeña and Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia are just sneak peeks to the larger power struggle between two of Cebu’s most prominent political families — the Osmeñas v. the Garcias.  

As for the province of Cebu, COMELEC has identified Lapu-lapu City, Toledo City and the towns of Daan Bantayan and Madridejos as “areas of concern” based on its initial assessment.

According to an article published in the Sun.Star Cebu newspaper on December 3, 2009, a total of 13 candidates are running for mayor and 13 for vice mayor in Cebu City.  Among those mayoralty candidates who have filed their certificates of candidacy with the Commission on Elections-Cebu are Vice Mayor Michael Rama, John Henry Osmeña, Georgia Osmeña, Samuel Darza, Landelino Bontilao, Crisologo Saavedra, Ricci Ranili, Rodolfo Laconza, Cristituto Abangan, Salvador Solima, Anastacio dela Cruz and Fermiliano Dapitan.

Four personalities have filed their COCs for the gubernatorial slot. Rafael Jun Cesar Ajoc runs as an independent candidate, Godofredo Rojas Berizo runs under the PGRP camp, Hilario Davide III carries the flag of the Liberal Party, and the current governor Gwen Garcia seeks re-election under the LKCMD Party.

Glenn Anthony Soco is Gov. Garcia’s running mate while Eladia Balicoco is PGRP’s representative for the vice-gubernatorial race.  Gregorio Sanchez Jr., currently serving as Cebu’s vice governor, is the running mate of the Liberal Party’s standard bearer.

COMELEC has disclosed that it would announce the official list of candidates by the end of December 2009, prior to launching the poll automation process in January 2010.

Election Fever

With the national polls quickly coming up, a lot of things have recently surfaced.

For one, former Philippine president Joseph Estrada takes a crack at the highest seat in the land by filing his candidacy.  However, many questions have arisen surrounding the legality of his second bid for presidency.  Apparently, the 1987 Constitution provides for his ineligibility for a second presidential run, which explicitly states, “The President shall not be eligible for any re-election.”  That being the case, Mr. Estrada is no longer eligible for a stab at the top post for the second time.  Yet, the Commission on Elections gave him the green light.

In other news, man of the hour Noynoy Aquino remains, with a big margin on the polls, as the most preferred aspirant for the presidency.  When asked why they prefer him as the next president, poll respondents associate Noynoy as the least corrupt among the other presidential hopefuls.  But just like the tree with the biggest fruit, sticks and stones are thrown Noynoy’s way.  Most critics would say his would-be presidency is just one of the perks for being an Aquino; “a presidency by osmosis,” as one critic would say.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo also expressed her desire to run, yet again, but this time, for a congressional seat representing Pampanga.  Many are urged to study her motives behind her congressional bid.  Administration critics speculate that this move is intended as a way for Mrs. Arroyo to stay in power when her term ends in 2010, and to avoid possible cases that will be filed against her.

And though her move is legally allowed, former president Fidel V. Ramos openly criticized her for running on the elective post without resigning from her post as president.  Mr. Ramos raised the matter as a question of decency and morality rather than legality, saying it would be unfair for her political opponents since all government resources are under her control.

And on a very personal note, I just noticed that since the elections are coming up, why are road repairs made so suddenly?  With the polls just around the corner, let us brace ourselves for more road repairs.  Thank God for elections!

Christmas time in the Philippines

It’s October now, I’m looking forward to doing some Halloween shopping as Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy decorating my house to scare the trick or treaters. So I head to the mall to check out what they have here, and what’s the first thing I see? A huge blow up figure of Santa! Where are all the candies, scary masks, and costumes? It’s all mixed in with all the Christmas decor. It’s an odd feeling it being October and the mall is playing Christmas music. With out Thanksgiving, and Halloween not really being celebrated here the next biggest event is Christmas. 

As I write this, my wife has already put up our Christmas tree. I guess there’s no halloween decorations going up this year.
