Home Credit Review: Easy, Simple, and Fast Loan Application

Wazzup Pilipinas!

If you haven't heard of it yet, there's a fast and easy way to purchase gadgets, appliances, or any item that you like, on installment basis.

I needed a better phone to receive text messages and calls other than the other mobile phones with bigger display screens that I use for browsing the Internet in checking my e-mails and social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

My contact lists are increasing in number every day and I needed a phone dedicated for communication tasks only, something that is small enough to fit in my pocket and one that I can easily put out to receive or send text messages and calls even while commuting.

Thus it was about time I purchase another phone. But since I also wanted to manage my budget, I thought it would be better to purchase one through installment basis so my monthly expenses will be conveniently affordable.

So one afternoon, I visited SM Megamall to check out a new smartphone when I was approached by a Home Credit representative offering to help me buy this new phone I wanted through easy installment terms. I was intrigued by this no-hassle process that only requires you to submit two valid IDs and some names and contact numbers of friends and relatives as references.

Rodrigo Duterte: Oath-Taking of 16th President of the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

On this historic day, June 30, 2016, the oath-taking of incoming President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, we Filipinos should take time to reckon the sacrifices we took for him to win and lead us to a better Philippines.

The people were fed up with the previous administrations whom a great number of people would say were ridiculed because of so many issues pertaining to questionable irregularities and inaction. 

However, rains and thunderstorms may mark the oath-taking day as we could see the morning skies darkening as a sign of impending bad weather. But sine the event will be held at the roofed Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), it may become less of a burden. We just hope the rainfalls and floods would not start while the selected few of around 600 attendees, who got invitations to witness the ceremonies, are still on their way to the event.

Duterte wanted his inauguration simple so the instruction was to serve simple meals that will be catered by Filipino restaurant Via Mare to serve a buffet of Filipino foods highlighted by one of my favorite, the Ginisang Monggo. Food will be served before his oath-taking so that many can listen attentively with a full stomach.

The event will be attended by his children and now Mayor Sara And Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte who both took their oath just recently in Davao City on June 20, 2016.

A simple yet elegant barong will be worn by the new President crafted by Chard Pulatche of Chardin, a Davao-based haberdashery. Duterte will wear a Piña Jusi Barong with Manobo-inspired design paired with cotton slacks.

The 16th President of the Philippines will then proceed to Malacanang Palace while previous president Benigno Simeon Aquino III returned to his home at Times Street in Quezon City.

I would like to congratulate and welcome the next President from Mindanao. I do hope that true change will be coming soon.

Boosting Data Quality Can Optimize Your Company’s Performance

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Over the years, the rapid development of information technology has greatly optimized the day-to-day operations of businesses. Companies collect and store an enormous amount of data, which in return, demands superior and diligent data management. However, organizations typically overestimate the quality of their data and the cost of errors, according to a study.

Because of this, Third Pillar Business Applications Inc. – a globally recognized business partner in providing best-in-class services and solutions – helps businesses transform their organization into a more innovative, cost-effective, and revenue-earning business through exceptional data governance.

According to Alan Alipao, managing director and head of consulting of Third Pillar, a regular data assessment and cleansing for data quality maintenance should become a standard practice to all organizations. “It informs the organization as to where the risks are within the data, thus allowing them to create preventive measures against business process failures, non-compliance, and other scenarios leading to profit losses.”

Data cleansing is the process of amending or removing data in a database that is incorrect, incomplete, improperly formatted, or duplicated.

Clean data can actually improve customer acquisition activity results, fine tune the decision-making process because of reliable information, increase revenue and productivity, and improve account management and analysis.
