This broadcast (via Facebook Live) is for our 8-to-5 employees who were asked to work from home, as stated in Proclamation numbers 929 and 922, and Republic Act 11932.   As mentioned sa live broadcast ng Presidente last March 12, 2020, employees are asked to work from home. For me and for the rest of the guests that I gathered for this broadcast, this isn’t a big deal. We are blessed to do our work in the comforts of our home. Pero ganu’n lang ba kadali mag-trabaho sa bahay?   You, as an 8-to-5 employee, go home to your families daily kasi your home is your haven. Ang bahay ninyo ang inyong sacred space. Paano kapag sa loob ng isang buwan, makikihati sa inyong sacred space ang inyong trabaho?   Kaya I am happy and honored that our guests tonight said YES to my invitation for this broadcast. Sila ang pwedeng makatulong sa inyo kung paano mag-work from home without sacrificing the sacredness of home.   GUESTS (in alphabetical order):  1. Ginger Arboleda - Mommy Ginger, CEO of Manil

“When should a business owner hire a digital marketing agency and when should he get a virtual assistant?” A fuzzy line of difference. But Marcus Ho of https://brewinteractive.com/ (Brew Interactiv)e was able to break down the when’s and the how’s. Listen to the second part of my interview with Marcus Ho. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pin-to-top/message

"Everything in my life is almost serendipity." That's what Marcus Ho, Managing Director of https://brewinteractive.com/ (Brew Interactive), said of his journey to entrepreneurship. Marcus is one of my long-term clients. To think and say that I have learned a lot from him already is a mistake. This guy still makes me think, "Why didn't I thought of that?" After leaving the two-year mandatory military service (a must in Singapore), Marcus realized he didn't want to become an employee. He wanted to make an impact - his way. Find out how Marcus found his way to entrepreneurship, marketing, and building a digital marketing agency that has helped big names in various industries around Asia and the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pin-to-top/message

I found the audience that's going to make me scared: PARENTS. Only because I am not yet a parent.

I discussed the research that I conducted to their students in time for their AI-ICT, Math, and Science Technology Week.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pin-to-top/message

Sharing with you the Facebook Live I did months ago on Facebook Pixels on the websites of Philippines’ top broadsheets. As you may remember, I was featured at The Manila Times in August 2019. When I checked the article online, I realized that there is no Facebook Pixel around the article. You’ll never know when you’d get to use the pixels!

Golden Globe. Screen Actors Guild. BAFTA. OSCAR. These awards, along with the others, are given to the movies and the actors who deserve it.
