Happy 30th Anniversary to Puratos Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Every milestone is considered an achievement worth celebrating. The moment becomes more memorable and significant when recognized as an integral part of your life. It becomes extra special when we celebrate the occasion with our friends and loved ones. There is nothing more vibrant seeing them rejoicing as well.

This is why a trusted baking products brand opted to celebrate a momentous event together with the most special people for them - their customers!

Congratulations to Puratos Philippines for being a reliable and well-loved high-end brand for baking products used for breads and cakes. Filipino businesses involved in the mentioned pastries are giving the Puratos brand a thumbs up, if not two thumbs up, and though their only comment is that Puratos products are a bit expensive, it is only because the brand stands out as a top of the line.

To believe that we do have to pay more for quality, that mindset of preferring to choose a more expensive brand, is a lot more rewarding since this will surely cascade to the rest that we do love our friends, families, customers or everyone whom we serve the breads or cakes we baked from Puratos products.

Based from the testimonies of the attendees during the 30th anniversary celebration, Puratos really gives a great impression because it delivers well even beyond expectations.

If you want to hear more direct from the event attendees present at the celebration that happened the whole day at SMX Convention Center of SM Aura, check out some of our videos uploaded on our Facebook page.

We also interviewed the Puratos Philippines executives (General Manager and Marketing Head) including the Regional Head. They give us the confidence in Puratos products to continue being the most preferred brand whether the customers may be housewives, bakers, purchasers for the kitchen team or the business owners themselves.

As mentioned on stage by one of the Puratos executives, the celebration was also for potential new customers - attendees knowing about Puratos either for the first time or now able to finally taste and see first-hand the Puratos experience. They who would surely be turned into avid admirers of the brand now that they've seen the baking possibilities and how they are rewarded with food samples, and merchandize won from the games, and/or lining up at every booth during the event to bring home some souvenirs from Puratos Philippines.

Again, congratulations to Puratos Philippines for their 30th anniversary and may the brand have 30 more years and beyond because great products deserve to last forever.

Sailboats Costing Less Than iPhones to Hold Championship Regatta

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Oz Goose Sailboat known in the Philippines as a sailboat that can be built for less than the price of an iPhone, of which, more than 50 have been built in the country will be holding the Oz Goose National Championships on November 3 and 4 at the Taal Lake Yacht Club in Talisay, Batangas.

Participants will be coming from as far as Cebu and Iloilo to participate in the regatta. As of press time 22 teams are confirmed to race Oz Geese in the two day event.

The popularity of the Oz Goose Sailboat came about through the efforts of the Philippine Home Boatbuilders Yacht Club (PHBYC) who have been seeking for ways to lower the barriers of entry to an activity well suited for the Philippine Islands; SAILING.

According to Roy Espiritu of PHBYC “Sailing has been perceived by Filipinos as an expensive and exclusive activity, when in fact, it doesn’t have to be. The Oz Goose sailboat fit perfectly in PHBYC’s grassroots sailing initiative, It is easy to build with locally available materials, it sails really well and is a great platform to learn how to sail. “ Mr. Espiritu said.

Boatbuilding materials sponsors Pioneer Adhesives, Polymer Products and Broadwater Marine who were tapped by PHBYC to help develop the Oz Goose fleet have pledged their support for the regatta. Batangas based corporate sponsor Lima Park Hotel will even be fielding teams to participate in the races, while Destileria Limtuaco, Globe MyBusiness, Isuzu Cavite are supporting the regatta as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts.

The Oz Goose National Championships is expected to be one of the best attended one design class regatta the Philippines has ever seen. According to the boat’s designer, Batangas based, Michael Storer: “Racing sailboats is the best way to hone one’s skill as a sailor, we regularly race these boats in Taal Lake and several participants who only started sailing this year are excited to join the regatta either as crew or even as skippers.” Storer said.

7 Dream Jobs for People Who Love to Travel

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Do you love the open road? Would your perfect job be something you could do from a beach in Mexico or the mountains of central Asia? Then you’ve got your work cut out for you, because not every job will allow you to live that way.

The good news is that things are changing. There are more jobs now than ever before. Largely, this is because it’s possible to work online. The gig economy – though it might not be great for job security – has been a real boon for those of us who love to travel.

So, what are the best jobs you can do on the road?


Work on a Cruise Ship

Totally different but still a great way to see the world. If you work on a cruise ship you’re automatically taken to new places to see new things. You can either stay on board for a long time to see the world and make some money, or you can just do several month stints.

Do note, a lot of cruise ship jobs don’t pay all that well. On the other hand, you do get room and board included and if you’re careful you can make sure you don’t actually spend a great deal of money as you move around. Then, when you’re ready to jump off in the port of your choice, you’ll have a nice bit squirreled away.

Freelance Copywriting

I travel as I work. Have done for four years now. From different continents, countries and landscapes words have spilled from my finger tips to satisfy the needs of clients situated thousands of miles away.

The advantage of writing as you travel is that you don’t need much more than a laptop and a decent internet connection. This means you can travel light and go far. In this way, it’s better than – say – photography, which is of course a great activity while you travel but requires all sorts of expensive camera equipment which can break, be lost or can get stolen.

Do note, there is a glut of copywriters in the market right now. It can take a long time to climb the hierarchy to where you’re making decent bucks. This means that you’ll be on a budget as you go. At the same time, there is no better place to be on a budget than in cheap countries.

Graphic Designer

Similar to the writing thing mentioned above, graphic design is a great way to make ends meet. If you know your way around the different photo and graphic software packages and have a portfolio to prove it, you can go see the world and make pretty pictures from all her corners.

Just like the writing thing outlined above, you can make good money this way. There is one slight drawback to being a graphic designer, though, and that’s that your files are a lot bigger. That can be a problem is some poor countries – as I’ve seen as friends have had to run from Wi-Fi spot to Wi-Fi spot in the hope of finding one where they can send in their assignment.

The best platforms for seeking graphic design jobs are Upwork and Freelancer.


Online Shop

It’s called drop shipping and if you’re good at sales, building websites and doing the necessary work, it can be a great way to make your money. Basically, what you do is you’re a middle man where you sell goods from wholesalers to people via the internet.

Do note that a lot of the courses offering you how to become a drop shipper are horrible scams. So, don’t get sucked in by those. Also, don’t be tricked by the words ‘passive income’. Sure, people may buy your products without you having to do anything, but in order to get them to come to your site is a lot of hard work.

Still, if you are good at marketing and know how to work the search engines, this is a great choice. Especially as sometimes you can take a week off while still making money.


Tour Guide

Speak a lot of language? Are you good with package tourists? Can you weave a great story? Then why not become a tour guide? You might think that you can only do this in cities you know, but the truth is that often the spiel is the same in many places.

So, if you take a few tours, read a few books and have a bit of experience, you can pretty much start up anywhere. Do it for a few months until you’re tired of the place and then move on again! You’ll not only get to see the world and share your experiences with lots of people, but you’ll learn far more about the places you go than almost anybody else you see out there.

Archeologist

Do you want to go on long treks toward far off places? Then why not become an archeologist? Okay, to be clear, archeology isn’t all Indiana Jones like adventures. You’ll also spend a lot of time in your office working away at papers, or reading dusty old books that you found in the library.

What’s more, archeology is something that will take you a long time to learn. If you’re okay with that, though, if you’ve a bit of an egg head as well as a travel bunny, then archeology might well be the thing for you. And who knows? Maybe you’ll get one of the biggest finds of the 21st century to your name!


Writing Editor

Being an editor is different than writing. You don’t get to flex your creative muscles as much but you do get a chance to work with a plethora of professional writers. Editors are in high demand, meaning that there is always an opening somewhere waiting to be filled.

You can opt for editing blog content for people who travel as well, work for a news outlet or something else entirely. Editors are in charge of making sure that the published content meets the high standards set by the core brand of the company.

If you would like to start a freelance editing career, contact online services such as TopAustraliaWriters or BestWritersCanada.


Tip of the Iceberg

The truth is, there are a huge amount of jobs out there that you can do while you travel. As long as you take lots of short-term contracts you’ll have lots of time left over to see the world. AS an extra bonus, those tend to pay better, so you’ll get the best of both worlds.

Of course, it helps to have some savings when you chose to work this way. You never know when there will be a work drought and you’ll have to pay for yourself for a while. But then, if you want to travel the world you’ll need to learn to be good with money anyway. So why not start there?

Good luck and good travels.
