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.

Making desserts on TV

Being interviewed on TV happened to me numerous times, primarily about digital media and social media stuff. But this is my first time to do a live demo making desserts on TV. It feels a bit scary. Bringing my brand on live television and making it myself. I made a local version of an Asian dessert called Cendol. Its a green bean based dessert which resembles halo-halo in our country. Its mostly composed of sweetened fruits in season on a bowl of crushed ice with milk and a little sugar. The interviewer was a friend, broadcaster Alfie Tulagan of GMA TV 10, and his ever- talented cameraman. The ingredients were : 1. Cendol 2. Sweet Potato 3. Langka/ Jackfruit 4. Red beans 5. Crushed ice 6. Fresh milk 7. Sugar (optional) Will upload the video on my Youtube Channel .
