Meeting with Google’s Janet Yoon

We have been contemplating for quite sometime on how to introduce Google Apps for Edu for Pangasinan schools.

The Provincial Government thru Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. wanted to help in upgrading the quality of education in the province, helping students and educators learn and teach with technology and so an exploratory meeting is being set up with the Pangasinan Digital team and Google Inc.’s champion for Google Apps for Edu, Janet Yoon.

During the meeting we asked her how do we start with the project, what do we need to do, what are we going to prepare?

We also asked her if they could train our team to be able to effectively pitch it to our partners. And she affirmed that indeed, they could help us.

We are excited about this project and we hope to execute this soon for the benefit of our pupils, students and the academe.

Right now, we are mapping 47 towns/cities in the Province and we are using Google Mapmaker to edit places, points of interest, schools, barangay halls and other structures or business establishments.

New Year Beauty Makeover Vibrante-style

I started the year 2013 right. With 2012 being rewarding for me and my family, starting the new year with a blast was just the right move. Armed with my plans for the entire year of personal branding and self improvement, a beauty makeover is in place. But where to have it done was the first question. We had a client that was very serious to penetrate the beauty business in the North and his salon is located in Dagupan. During our taping, I saw how he transformed ordinary faces into glam works of art. Our girls innate beauty were enhanced and emphasized and they all looked gorgeous in the hands of Marcel. Vibrante Salon by Marcel Mendoza is the place to go. I endured the first few days of New Year looking old and less vain. I waited for an appointment at his premiere salon. Vibrante’s services are not for everyone. He created his own niche. Marcel’s regular clients are high end. They belong to the A-list. Yes, he defined his own market. His prices are premium because his serv...

This week in Politics and Digital

As many people are spending their holidays somewhere else, many chose to stay at home due to bad weather. Upon return to my beloved province, there was a new project waiting for our team. The I love Pangasinan video, we were to gather video clips from interviewees of different people in Pangasinan. Next our proposed project for the Governor was approved by the Provincial Administrator. Sir Raffy , as he is fondly called is supportive of projects related to information technology. He knows that the society is going also with the digital shift. And an event to showcase all of those things like the Pangasinan Digital ICT Fair is ready to roll out. This event is scheduled on the second week of November at the Capitol Grounds. And then there are Bloopers along the way.
