Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ready to start an awesome career? A world of opportunity awaits you when you apply at TeleTech. You'll enjoy helping others and working with the latest technological devices. It is also home to a diverse mix of cultures and nationalities of TSRs! Experience TeleTech's unique value propositions - an environment conducive to friendships, a work location close to home, and a culture that brings out the best in people.

I first heard of TeleTech when the call center company put up a team in the Philippine Basketball League, the predecessor of the PBA D-League, when I was still a college freshman. The formation of the team was timely because it came at a time that BPO's were on the rise. In fact, I tried to apply at Teletech, only that my time does not fit its time. Finally, I got a chance to check out one of Teletech's offices in Mandaluyong City.

Teletech actually began in 1982 by Ken Tuchman at a garage. Eventually, it grew to a multinational company that put up offices in the Philippines beginning in 2001. The first TeleTech Philippines office was at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. The Taguig office eventually moved to the Makati Eco Plaza in Makati in 2009. The Mandaluyong office/training center was built in 2011 at the Robinson's Cybergate Plaza just beside Forum Robinson's. The following year, it became the TeleTech Global Network Operations Center.

​​Power Mac Center is taking live band performances to a whole new level as it brings together cool musical acts in the Philippines to perform using only Mac and iOS devices. The most reliable Apple partner in the Philippines is orchestrating a series of live performances featuring celebrated musical acts in different genres in a one-of-a-kind music fete aptly called Sync Sessions.

Kicking off the Sync Sessions is Taken by Cars on June 7, 6:00 pm at Power Mac Center TriNoma.
​​Taken by Cars is an electro-rock quintet whose infectious and dance-friendly brand of intelligent indie rock allowed them to become the first Filipino band to play at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Several musical acts are scheduled to perform at Sync Sessions to be held in other Power Mac Center locations within Metro Manila.

“Power Mac Center constantly pushes the envelope by engaging its valued clientele in a variety of groundbreaking activities that leverage on innovation and create unique experiences for them,” said Power Mac Center Marketing Director Joey Alvarez.“ Sync Sessions endeavors to showcase how Mac and iOS devices can support musical pursuits by inviting brilliant artists perform at our stores and give music aficionados the ultimate fan experience.”

Philippine Top Choice Awards for Excellence 2014: Moved to Camelot Hotel on August 23

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Got an e-mail that the formal acceptance of award for Wazzup Pilipinas as the Top Filipino Community Blog Site from the Philippine Top Choice Awards for Excellence 2014 will be rescheduled on August 23, 2014 due to the unavailability of the guest speaker and the many requests from the other winners to have time to prepare their marketing and advertising materials for the event.

What got me excited was the change of venue to Camelot Hotel - that hotel in Quezon City that was made to look like King Arthur's castle. Accredited by the Department of Tourism, Camelot Hotel is the country's only theme hotel that provides first-class accommodation at an affordable price. Conveniently located at #35 Mother Ignacia Street, Diliman Quezon City.

Yey! I really wanted to visit that place, go to the highest part of the castle that is accessible, and shout "I'm the KING of the world!!!"

But, wait...wasn't that for a cruise ship?
