Pandemic taught resilient Filipinos to go on, move forward. Valentines Day is not only a celebration of relationship. Rather more on the business side for those whose income depends on selling flowers and keepsakes related to the occasion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Aside from flower shops, inside the malls where those who can afford the price go. There is a place in the City of Manila, Dangwa located in Santa Cruz, frequented by buyers looking for much cheaper price. Stores in the area sell bunch of flowers, bouquets, and flower arrangements for all occasions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I am watching news on tv everyday. I see videos and photos of innovative vendors creating flower bouquets inserted with, onions, peppers, paper money bills and other items. The increasing prices of commodities not only in Metropolis but the whole Philippines gave these vendors the idea. They say this is the most practical way instead of giving plain bouquet of flowers on Valentines Day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The bouquet of vegetables is more expensive of course, compared to buying vegetables in supermarkets and groceries. But, the bouquet is Instagramable, after all. Prices of vegetables especially onions are very expensive in the Philippines. So, why not, coconut? 😀<br /><br /></span></div></div><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Happy Valentines Day! ❤️</span></p>Jolly Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09759237156677662020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793440661109121845.post-8527957153075449322023-02-10T11:03:00.000+08:002023-02-10T11:03:23.166+08:00Plants Decor<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJXBZieRrTFhmAUj4_u0sWwKJCxSj_8w9J-ROgzBSP7r3hBLJPAo5VZFWf0M7bfS08VVFoDhTHaWsrj80qs5HKbbB3VGouIo6mskt9JuA2Px01c41amY_nEmFnTzkiCJik_uTZnKGOJrdBcpBpTB1Zn_9-ar_fgk8Oi2nLfXtsKY5eIPgBNznHO1CV" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3840" data-original-width="2880" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJXBZieRrTFhmAUj4_u0sWwKJCxSj_8w9J-ROgzBSP7r3hBLJPAo5VZFWf0M7bfS08VVFoDhTHaWsrj80qs5HKbbB3VGouIo6mskt9JuA2Px01c41amY_nEmFnTzkiCJik_uTZnKGOJrdBcpBpTB1Zn_9-ar_fgk8Oi2nLfXtsKY5eIPgBNznHO1CV=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Ever thought of something to decorate your space?

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Year 2018 has not been bad it is just that I have been busy about work and attending to my small space. I started this blog way back in January of 2008 when I was just renting a room for myself. Soon after my niece, my sis daughter, an only child graduated in college. My sister and I decided to let her come to Manila for better opportunity. My sis and my brother in law live in the province, an eight hour drive from Manila. </span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="background-color: white;"> Likewise at the time, my sis in law, wife of my brother advised to let me also take in with me my nephew. My nephew and my niece get along too well as they have been best friends way back when they were kids. My brother would take my nephew to the house of my sister during school vacation. The first apartment I found where the three of us started sharing was not very conducive to live with. The landlord used to asked for cash advances. There were times he failed to pay the electricity and water bills. It was a not a good experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">After three months of enduring the situation I decided to move to another apartment. It was better than the first one. It was an old building though. We stayed for two years. I did not renew the contract anymore on the second apartment after two years. Reason, we were on the second level of the building. The roof began to leak on rainy days. Fearing that my hard earned appliances would be damaged. I decided to move again.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I searched online. Determined to look for a much better place. I got lucky for the third time. The place was small space. A condo where I feel safer due to twenty four hours security guards and CCTVs. It was a bit expensive compared to the previous apartments but safer and convenient to rides twenty four seven. My nephew finally married his girlfriend. Now it is myself and my niece who share the rent and utilities.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I am unable to buy the place. I do not have the budget. As long as my landlord is happy to have us as tenants. My niece and will stay. More about the place aside from accessible to rides, security and amenities. There are two walking distance hospitals, supermarket, banks. A twenty four hours drugs store, fast food and convenient stores. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">From a small room to where I am now. Aside from my work at night. Yes, I work at night being with BPO industry. It makes me busy attending to my small space and a surrogate mom to my niece. Busy, but happy. I may not own the place. But it is a place I could call my home. </span></div>

is again on heavy traffic during rush hours and weekends. Oh, well some may disagree with me as

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am lucky to be working in a BPO company? Not really. There
are still pros and cons. I got work on Christmas and New Year. There were few allotted
slots for the whole chat tech support team to file for vacation leave this
Christmas. There are three teams with at
least 20 to 25 people. First come, first come first serve. I was on vacation
leave at the start of filing for vacation leave for the whole month of
December. Although we can log in to the website where to file our vacation leave,
my computer acted up. I had to frantically work on filing using my smart
phone. I am not a great typist on my
laptop, but better that pressing the keypad on my smart phone.</span></div>

like this. My family knew, I will be

I hope everyone is doing great. To
all mommies, Happy Mother’s Day! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Year 2017 has been alright. I would not say not perfect but
all creases have been ironed-out. Mostly work related issues. To those you have been following my blog, I
mentioned I have transferred to chat from being a voice tech support agent.
There was a bit of struggle at the beginning of the year, 2017. It was all
about my monthly score. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To call center representatives also known as call center
agents, like me. They know what I am
saying here. Passing our annual score is a must, if we want a salary increase.
It also helps management to know if the agent is performing. Or, the agent needs
help. Worst, if they agent needs to leave the company. I had a bit of struggle for
six months, getting not a passing customer survey. Luckily, I made it towards the
middle of the year until year end. Why
did I not aim for promotion? Not worth it for a lot of pressure. I would rather
retire looking young and healthy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Family and love life is great I have no complain. They are
very supportive. Busy at home on my day off and vacation from work. It is normal for me to mind my organizing my
small space. I do not want to arrive
from work to a topsy turvy home. I am
not a traveller, other than team building activities at work. I do not want to
spend money when not needed. I would rather spend money in buying appliances
and home maintenance. I live frugally
and in the most practical way. Please do not get me wrong. I am not against travelling. Go ahead if you need to. I am speaking for
myself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here I am back to blogging again. Just like saying hello to
my blogging buddies and readers. This
blog is still alive. I may not be consistent with my post but I can assure everyone this blog will stay
until such time I can no longer type and run out of ideas. I will be in touch with more stories. My pillows are now waiting for me in my bed. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You waited on
the phone. It took you around forty five minutes before you finally spoke with
someone. By the time someone came to
answer you. You were not in good mood anymore. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The person
on the other end of the line tried to pacify you. Asked how he can be of help
to you. But you kept ranting how long you waited on the phone. Reiterating the
company has very poor service. With emphasis it, is not about the person on the
phone but the poor service of the company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Finally the
agent was successful in attending to your concern. Issue was fixed. You
received survey on your email. Your frustration for waiting on the line was
still at the back of your mind. Time to get even, you answered the survey. The
following day, the agent was coached by the team captain for the poor survey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you are
a customer, be objective in answering survey. </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">You are not happy with the company. Fine, bombard the company with your
comments that goes with the survey. But never put a poor survey unless
the person on the other end did not help you at all. Your survey goes to the
person you spoke with, not to the company. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Star (*)and pound keys (# ) on a phone handset are used to
activate and deactivate phone calling features. These calling features could be
voice mail, call forwarding, call blocking and others. Star and pounds keys followed by numeric code
are use to activate and deactivate these calling features depending on your
service provider. Example, to activate voice mail you have to press *98 or #98.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Star and pound keys would work only on tone dials not on
pulse dial. What is tone dial? For easy
understanding, when you press a number on the key pad of your phone handset,
you will hear a long “toooot” sound. What is pulse dial? For pulse dial you will hear
clicks or sound similar to that of the old rotary dial. I tried to search online on the difference of these
two but the definition on there, confused me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You may argue you have a push button phone handset not a
rotary type of handset. That is good. For some reason it might have gotten switched
to rotary dial. No worries you can switch back to tone dial by looking for a
tiny slide switch at the bottom or side of your phone. The slide switch
indicates a letter T and P. T for tone
and P for pulse, simply slide the switch to letter T for star and pound keys to
work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Some push button handset
phone may not have the slide switch. If you are to use star key, press 11
followed by the numeric code. Using my example *98 for voice mail, you can
press 1198. If you are to use pound key, press 12 followed by the numeric code,
example 1298 for #98. If this does not
work, you can refer to the user guide or manual of the manufacture of the phone
handset.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> If you do not have
the user guide you can download online. If you cannot follow the instruction,
feel free to call the manufacturer of your phone handset. Do not call your service
provider or the store where you bought the phone. The trouble is out of their scope of support.
It will only be the tech from the manufacturer of the phone handset who can
help you. So, make note of it. If you have phone calling features, make sure
star (*) and pound (#) keys work on your handset.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is your day
off from work. You want to rest, watch tv and avoiding cooking. You want pizza delivered right at your
doorstep. You feel frustrated picking up your phone and there is silence. You frantically dialed your service provider
from your pay as you go cell phone, only to hear recording saying all calls will
be attended to shortly as they are getting volumes of calls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Do try
these simple trouble shooting steps and see it you can fix your phone. Unplug phone
from phone jack. Plug in back after one minute. If your phone handset is
wordless, unplug the base from the power source as well. If you have, fax
machine and internet modem, unplug them too. If there is a phone cord plug in
at the back of a satellite receiver unplug the phone cord at the back of the
receiver. Soon as one minute is up, plug back in. If you are lucky, dial tone
will kick in after you plug back in phone handset. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have
several phone handsets, plug in first the basic non cordless handset. Every
time you plug in a handset to the jack listen for dial tone. If one has dial tone, and you plug in another
phone handset and lose dial tone. Unplug again the last phone you plugged in. That
particular phone handset is causing the trouble. If you only have one phone
handset and there is spare jack. Try plugging in the phone handset to the spare
jack. If it works on the spare jack, it means it is the first jack causing the
trouble. Normally service provider charges
replacement of phone jack, you can do it yourself. Or ask a friend who can fix
it for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When you get dial tone and soon as you plug in your fax machine, and lose dial tone. It
is your fax machine causing the trouble. Call then the manufacturer of the fax
machine. If you plug in modem, and lose dial tone. Call your internet service
provider. Same thing if you have satellite tv and you plug in back the phone
cord at the back of the satellite receiver. Call your satellite service
provider. Satellite service provider must replace the satellite receiver. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Before you
do the trouble shooting, try calling your home phone first. If recording says
not in service at this time, no need to trouble shoot. Call your service
provider, check with them if bills have been paid. If paid, chances are someone
must have installed phone service in your area. The installed tech might have inadvertently
disconnected your phone service. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The days are passing by too fast. It is July now, half of
2017. Few more months, everybody will busy again shopping for Christmas
presents. So what have I been up to? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are so many things that happened in the month of June.
My brain is too busy to think of one topic to write. I have yet to mention, I
was on training again last end of March as chat tech support. I thought I know how to communicate though
chat, having chatted before with some online friends. But I was wrong. Casual
conversation is different from business conversation. One of my struggles is
how to pacify an irate customer through chat. At least if I am speaking with
customer through voice call. The customer on the other end of the line can hear
the tone of my voice.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From April to May I struggled with dissatisfied, surveys. Oh no, I did not make my customers upset. There
are many ways customers would give dissatisfied ratings on a survey. One is
they would wait on the queue for so long. Their time is precious like anyone
else. Sometimes some company procedures
and policies they are not aware of. Services outage is another one. Who would want to lose phone or internet
connection just when the service is needed most. They would take the survey,
not knowing the survey would fall on the agent they chatted or spoke with. Hopefully soon as June scores will be
tallied. I hope to pass. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes, we do have monthly scores. In some call centers, if agent
is not passing the monthly scores repeatedly.
The agent could be transferred to another department. Worst scenario the
agent could be terminated from the job. In the company I am working. If we do
not pass the yearly average we will not get salary increase. I am hoping for
the best to pass this 2017 for another salary increase. Some people may say working in a call center
is easy. Call center companies do not require four year college degree. Not
really. Try to apply and see for yourself. This is the kind of job where you
will be technically and analytically challenged. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You probably heard or read about Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) and Call Centers but you need insight on what kind of
business they have and how they do business. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;">Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;">is contracting of certain
business activities to third party service providers. The third party service
providers are responsible for hiring the needed manpower. They also make sure
job assigned to them are carried out to the best of the satisfaction of the
outsourcing company.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Outsourcing of business could be offshore or onshore. Offshore
outsourcing is relocating the business process from one country to another
country. Onshore is simply domestic contracting. These service providers are
responsible for their employees’ compensations and benefits. Rate of salaries
and compensations is base on the currency of the country where service providers are located. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the Philippines some businesses like telecommunications, banks,
travel agencies, opt to outsource their marketing department. I for one
upgraded my internet service through a telemarketer. I made sure though they are legitimate. I
checked with my internet service provider before I signed up with them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A Call Center is the third party service provider that handles calls
assigned by outsourcing companies. Call handling could be inbound or outbound.
Inbound is accepting calls from the customers of the outsourcing company. Outbound is calling out to the customers of
the outsourcing company. One example of outbound Call Center, are telemarketers
selling products and services to customers. Likewise there are, non-voice Call
Centers. They communicate by chatting to the customers of the outsourcing
company. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In outbound call center, after calls are made by a call center
representative. Another department processed the orders through the back end.
The back end people are responsible for shipping, sending communications to
customers, correcting orders, all other functions that cannot be done by a front
line call center representative. Call center representatives are also known as
call center agents.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For inbound call centers, a frontline call center representative assist
calling in customer. Do the best to resolve
the issue, customer is calling about during the call. If issue cannot be
resolved on the call, frontline agent would pass the issue to the back end for
resolution. Inbound call center agent has to provide customer with estimated
time frame as to when the issue will be resolved. Back end representatives may
not be located in the same country where call centers are outsourced. For
telecommunication outsourcing companies, resolution of the issue could mean
dispatching their local technician. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Depending on the urgency of the issue, a customer may become irate if he
wants to get the issue resolved during the call. There are some issues that resolution
is beyond the control of the representative. This is where some calls become
difficult to handle. If customer asks for a supervisor or manger, the call will
be transferred to an escalation agent. If an escalation agent is not available
the team lead or team captain can take the call. How do you handle irate
callers? I will have separate discussion on that on the next blog post. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Why do call center center representatives work at night? It depends on
the outsourcing company. In the Philippines most outsourcing companies are from Canada, United Kingdom and United States. We have
to follow the working hours of these countries. Why are these companies
outsourcing? I could think of two main reasons. One, to outsource is cost
efficient, secondly more manpower is needed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some of my readers may be working in the same industry where I am. Possibly
in your urgency of getting a job you have not asked what kind of business
industry you are in. I hope I have given you some bits of information, to
answer some inquiries of those getting curious why you work at night. Now, you
have bits of knowledge about Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Call Center
business.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you work in a Call
Center here in the Philippines, you have to work even on Philippine Holidays. In contrast to other industries where
employees enjoy Holiday vacation leave.
In a Call Center, you are oblige to report for work if it is not your day
off or you are not on vacation leave.
Call center employees perk working on a Holiday, is the mandated
overtime pay by Philippine Labor Law. To answer some of my customers’
questions, we get paid in Philippine Pesos, the Philippine currency, not
Canadian Dollars. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For regular
Philippine Holiday, if an employee has no work, he will be paid 100 percent of
his salary for that day. If he works, he gets 200 percent for the first eight
hours of work, plus 30 percent in excess of eight hours. On Special Non Working Holiday, if an employee
has no work, he does not get paid. If he
does, he will be paid 100 percent of his salary for that day, plus 30 percent
for the first eight hours. In excess of eight hours, an employee gets
additional 30 percent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Maundy Thursday and Good Friday are our Regular Holidays. Black Saturday is Special Non-Working
Holiday. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some of my office mates who have
work schedule have wide grin on their face.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some opted to work overtime. Me, I would rather stay home.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> My vacation leave was approved for Maundy Thursday. Day off on Good Friday and Black Saturday. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am done with my financial obligations to my family members. I now own my salary, so be it.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For those who opted
not to work, they visited their relatives in the provinces.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As a result most drivers in Metro Manila were rejoicing. No traffic jam!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While most car owners were rejoicing, not too good for those who reported for work. Most public utility vehicles were also on
Holiday. Most of my office mates have to
endure long wait to get a ride. Some took a cab to go home enduring higher
transport fare. One of my friends took this photo of a deserted street in one of our business districts. On regular working days public and private
vehicles dominate this place. At least

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is starting to get warmer now in Manila, Philippines
since summer has been declared by our weathermen end of March. Being a tropical
country Philippines has only two seasons, summer and rainy reason. Summer starts around middle of March until
the end of June. Our temperature scale
measurement is Celsius. Although most
foreign visitors who come to Manila consider the weather to be always
warm. The warmest months we would have are
April in May. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My work schedule is at night time. It gives me the advantage
of cooler temperature when reporting for work. The air condition system inside the work place
would even make us wear jackets and sweaters despite the warm temperature
outside. When the morning sun is up after my work shift, I am on my way
home. Shower cools me off before hopping
in my bed. I share a rented two bedroom
condo with my niece, which is good. I have someone to share the cost of my
rent. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Without a balcony I hesitated before to take the rented
place. It is only now I begin to appreciate without having a balcony. Being in an
inner unit, it is cooler compared to those units directly facing the sun. My niece has air conditioning in her room.
I have electric fan in mine. The electric fan is enough to cool off my room as
long as I close my door.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I always make it a point to have plants in the house. Aside from serving as decor, plants help to
cool off the temperature and freshens the air inside my small space. I have a
pot of plant inside my room, my niece room, in the living room, kitchen and
bathroom. I go for plants that are easy
to grow like sansevieria and some plants that grow in water, without much need
for sunlight. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You can count on me when it comes to recycling pots. As you can see in this photo, the pot I used
is an old pot for rice cooker. Empty glass bottles also serve as flower pots
for water plants. I just do not have much time to decorate the bottles as
flower pots. These bottles have special
place in all corners of my small space, rather than inside a trash bin. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">No cook Media Noche for busy people. My niece and I agreed
to order from our favorite pizza restaurant. At least I save my effort going to the supermarket
for groceries. Likewise another way of saving on my electricity bills as I use
electric stove for cooking. The daughter
of the sister and I share an apartment.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A family member invited us to join their Media Noche but we
declined as we got work before the Eve of New Year. I am just happy I am home
to celebrate New Year this year and also home on Christmas. Christmas and New
Year happen to be my day off. Some of my office mates filed vacation leave to
join their relatives in the provinces. I
was among those requested to cover for the absence of some employees due to
Holiday Seasons. I was only granted vacation leave for December, the 5<sup>th</sup>
and 26<sup>th</sup>. Unused vacation leave though can be converted to cash. At least, I was given a week vacation in November. Thankful enough for the week rest from wearing my headset at work. </span></div>
