Pay Your Filipino Freelancer On Time
Friday, February 10, 2012
Pay your Filipino Freelancer On-Time If you’ve hired someone in the Philippines and pay them via paypal. It’s a good practice to pay them a least couple days before your arranged payment date. So if you’ve agreed to pay them on the 15th/30th of each month, make sure you send the funds on the 13th/28th respectively. Since the Philippines does not have a paypal debit card, paypal account holders have to transfer the funds directly to their bank account. For my personal finances, I transfer funds to my BDO account on a regular basis, and it takes 2 days on average to process. A good...

//seasite.niu.edu Does the closing in of the “ber” months ring a nostalgic bell? If so, you must be a Filipino by heart. Filipinos, a.k.a Pinoys, can’t help but feel the Christmas spirit as the first day of September arrives and the countdown to Christmas cheerfully begins. You will start seeing homes or tree branches along the roads glittering with Christmas lights and decorations, Christmas songs played over the radio, and even kids hopping from one house to another singing Christmas carols as early as October.

Poor Educational Standards
Saturday, October 8, 2011
Just had to share this story. Apparently, there’s a elementary school here where one of the students was given the Top Student of The Year Award in front of hundreds of parents, students, and faculty. Only a few days later his parents were told that he needs to go to summer school, because he can’t read. This child is around 9 years old and can’t recite the alphabet nor can he count. Yet, he was given the top student award. I’m scared to find out what the educational level of the other students are if they DIDN’T get the award! Read More
