By making work-from-home a more workable arrangement, this pandemic has further opened up the possibility of hiring the right talent for reasonable costs.
At Go Virtual Assistants, we’ve seen how adding a highly skilled Virtual Assistant made it possible for businesses to get more important things done without running their onshore teams ragged.
What can the right virtual assistants do for your HR department or recruitment business? For starters, they can:
format candidates’ CVs for your database or onshore recruiters
screen candidates and schedule interviews with those on the shortlist
draft job offers and proposals
prepare job ads for your website and preferred social channels
organize virtual events
verify candidates’ references and do background checks.
If you’ve never worked with a VA before, it’s perfectly normal to have plenty of questions. We’d love to help you sort them out!

Ex-generals best people to lead Covid response, Palace insists
#PHnews: Ex-generals best people to lead Covid response, Palace insists
MANILA – Malacañang on Tuesday insisted that retired military officers are the best people to lead the government’s Covid-19 response and vaccination rollout because of their expertise in logistics.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made this remark after opposition senators called for an overhaul of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), saying that it should be led by public health officers and not ex-military officers.
Aside from their knowledge in logistics, Roque explained that ex-military officers were leading the IATF because they were also appointed as members of President Rodrigo Duterte’s Cabinet.
“Wala naman pong na-appoint sa IATF outside of yung mga secretaries at mga namumuno ng opisina. Totoo po maraming mga military pero isang dahilan po kung bakit nagtitiwala ang ating Presidente ay dahil magaling po sa logistics ang ating mga military (No one has been appointed to the IATF outside of the secretaries and heads of office. It’s true that there are a lot of military who are members but one reason why the President trusts them is because the military excels in logistics),” he said in a virtual press briefing.
Roque pointed out that National Task Force (NTF) Against Covid-19 chief implementer Carlito Galvez, who is also vaccine czar, also possesses an impressive set of qualifications.
“Kung ang pinag-uusapan ay hindi naman yung papaano mag-ma-manufacture ng bakuna, kung hindi paano makakarating ang bakuna sa lalong mabilis na panahon sa panahon na ang mga mayayaman ay na-corner na yung 80 porsiyento ng mga bakuna na ginagawa ng mga Western countries siyempre po sa tingin ng Presidente at sa tingin ko naman, tama ang Presidente, ang pinaka magaling na italaga diyan ay isang dating militar, dating chief of staff, dating hero ng Marawi, si Secretary Carlito Galvez (If we’re talking about the fast delivery of vaccines when 80 percent of countries have already pre-ordered vaccines of course the President and I think that the best person for the job is an ex-military, ex-chief-of-staff, and hero of Marawi, Secretary Carlito Galvez),” he added.
He also noted that Galvez has a master’s degree in Project Management major in System Modelling and Project Scheduling from the University of New South Wales in Australia.
A master’s degree in Project Management involves the successful completion of projects by directing them from start to finish. The degree requires skills in budgeting, time management and communication.
“Importante po malaman ng taongbayan ‘yan dahil hindi nila alam na kaya kayo itinalaga ni Presidente hindi lang dahil sa kayo ay war hero kung hindi mayroon po talaga kayong advance training dun sa isang field na kinakailangan pagdating sa logistics, pag-aangkat ng ating mga bakuna (It’s important for the public to know that the President did not only appoint him because he’s a war hero but because he has advanced training in the field necessary for logistics for the procurement of vaccines),” Roque said.
Besides Galvez, there are three other ex-military officers leading the government’s Covid-19 response including Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana (NTF Chair), Interior Secretary Eduardo Ano (NTF Vice Chair), and Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu (Cebu City Covid-19 Response Overseer).
Duterte himself said he preferred to appoint ex-military officers because they were “competent”, “honest” and “followed orders.”
Currently, over 60 former military officers currently hold ranking positions under the Duterte administration.
Senator Risa Hontiveros earlier described the IATF as a “system-wide failure”, saying its leaders and members should be replaced with public health experts “who actually know how to handle a public health emergency.”
“The extreme call is to abolish the IATF but during a pandemic, an interagency body is necessary. It must be led by public health experts and epidemiologists. Not by military officers,” she said in a statement. (PNA)

BREAKING NEWS: ABS-CBN, MOR & DZMM will Indefinitely go OFF-the-AIR for good
QUEZON, MANILA -- Just after the final programme of TV Patrol in Manila... It is unfortunately sad to say, it is now time to go OFF-the-AIR indefinitely for good (as of 07:50pm in Manila local time).
ABS-CBN Manila was issuing the NTC's order, the Provisional Authority was now denied. We obtained a copy to our Station Manager, President of ONC & Radyo Patrol #4 reporter (Princess Twilight Sparkle), this NTC's compliance was really clear as effective immediately this afternoon at 4pm onwards (Manila local time).
Additional statement was followed this Tuesday night by May 5th, 2020...
Harry Roque recommends the issue of it's ABS-CBN Franchise during a virtual press briefing from DWGT-TV 4: People's Television, the NTC (National Telecommunications Commission) will be finalizing the decision at once.

The last behind the scenes of ABS-CBN in Manila, is on the house.

If you probably missed it whether you're overslept something, busy working or not, here's the actual final aircheck of DWWX-TV 2: ABS-CBN Manila, including the last two statements themselves and a FINAL newest Sign-Off as voiced by Peter Musngi himself.

And finally, here's also the final morning newscast of Radyo Patrol Balita @ 7am.
youtube
As we currently reported, during the ECQ in Luzon of CoViD19, iWant (formerly iWantTV) was now removing to DZMM Teleradyo & DWWX-TV 2: ABS-CBN Manila for the Philippine LIVE Streaming. All the teleseryes like Ang Probinsyano and others, will be cancelled indefinitely until further notice. The iWant, Star Cinema and the ABS-CBN News Channel... won't be clearly covered for the NTC (National Telecommunications Commission), as a cable news channel.
Here's a spicy story with Tony Velasquez himself, around this afternoon ago (Manila local time):
BREAKING: National Telecommunications Commission orders ABS-CBN, DZMM, and MoR to stop operations after the media giant's franchise expired on Monday, May 4, 2020. ANC will remain on air as NTC's order does not cover cable news channel. pic.twitter.com/FRTsCUJqUR
— ABS-CBN News Channel (@ANCALERTS) Mayo 5, 2020
Kimi was explained to Tony Velasquez told exclusively to OneNETnews... All the Station Affiliates of Radyo Patrol, My Only Radio and ABS-CBN Regional (including Metro Cebu for example), will be indefinitely suspended -- because sadly; the Provisional Authority of it's NTC was denied without the Senate, Congress and Presidential Hearing due to CoViD19 this month, as the franchise itself was expired on May 4th, 2020 and it's on shutting down a day later after that.
Here in Central Visayas alone, here's the last Cebu DJ on Board. James Spider Kaka will conclude his airwaves tonight, known for Tingog Bisaya.
(full source: https://www.facebook.com/244163518932698/posts/603934403806561)
It was a shocking #sewlegit wish granted for Pres. Rodrigo R. Duterte last Fall 2019, as the NTC... will officially answering the worst decision now. With that said, it's all Game Over for us... for ABS-CBN, much indefinitely.
Always remember when 91.7mhz DYGB-FM's Power 91 FM radio presenter in Dumaguete City known as Roland Castro saying to this... "I'll... be back".
With that said, in behalf from our management & staff of OneNETnews... We are saying NO to ABS-CBN Shutdown, when you make a wrong decision for a Philippine Presidency worldwide (excluding the Boracay cesspool issue).
EXTREMELY HONEST DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed from this news report are completely not those from the ABS-CBN Corporation. It does not for the subject for the law in any matter. Furthermore, the assumptions of our news report will NOT state, intervene or reflect those of our Radyo Patrol reporters. The station, management, interwebs, and the network. Thanks for reading!

Real Property Digital.
With the device, each worker will really feel like they are in command of the time. Additionally, depending on the set of scheduling software program in use, managers may make on the spot adjustments on the go utilizing cell platforms of the software program. 30 Tools For Managing A Remote Team Businesses used to rent virtual assistants to handle excess or spill-over work that have been categorized non-essential. First, let's define what a virtual assistant is: each digital assistant job is just a little bit different, of course, but there are some general elements to count on. Between salaries, overhead prices and taxes, I really cannot make a lot of a revenue if I'm going significantly lower than what I cost. The managers would additionally be capable of be notified of pending choices and communication to be made sometimes. On the identical time, managers can spot the weaker spots in the routines of their crew members and do something about them. The software would achieve this by making scheduling doable. By working with contractors in the Philippines, businesses can save about 60% to eighty% in operational costs. It's a lot more expensive to wash up lousy work than to hire a legit skilled from the get-go. The salary of recent graduates in the Philippines is a small fraction of their counterparts within the West. If the prospect walks away, so be it. While a very good VA can be a Godsend for serving to to get your online business running more smoothly, understand that a digital assistant is simply that - an assistant. Technological improvements simplify remote communication and give distributed groups simply as much of a chance to be engaged and collaborative as groups who spend their days working between the same 4 walls. As a supervisor, customized communication and choices would must be made to specific facilities once in a while. The day by day salary of Filipino professionals can quantity to only the hourly salary of an worker in Europe or the US. This is because of the low price of dwelling in the country. However it needs to be completed proper, or you'll end up with a staff of remoted, unproductive, sad folks. Most virtual assistants present support to their employer or purchasers in the type of answering emails, transcribing documents, preparing statements and letters, organizing recordsdata, coordinating schedules and calendars, making travel preparations, and usually taking charge of administrative duties to help a client focus on the other features of their jobs (or private lives). When a prospect tells me my providers are too low cost, I simply inform them the truth: I rent really good people who should be paid accordingly. Sykes Asia, Convergys, People Assist and Accenture have been the first multinational firms to ascertain operations within the Philippines. for shoppers all through the globe. Flatworld Options has a state-of-the-art world delivery middle situated in the heart of the Philippines Outsourcing capital, and supplies companies akin to Information Entry, Medical Transcription, Call centers, Animation, Software Improvement, etc. With a booming outsourcing industry in the Philippines, increasingly businesses are choosing this country to outsource their enterprise processes. In terms of managing and working with a distant team, belief is the largest problem. Whereas this can be a frequent sentiment among enterprise house owners, an excellent VA might help you tackle all those duties that dangle over you at the end of the day…that means you'll be able to actually go to bed at evening without a million things left in your to do list. Remote Personal Assistant will make posts in your private Facebook profile so it seems to be like you might be doing activities exterior the workplace. I just hope they don't find yourself hiring an inept supplier within the title of financial savings. Philippines employees is understood for their exceptional work ethics and service-oriented tradition who repeatedly elevate the usual of professionalism and exceed expectations. Their life-style is very saturated by the West, making them fluent in English and easily adaptable to global demands. This course is extra geared toward hiring a virtual workforce member for ongoing business assist, somewhat than for a one-off mission; though a lot of the content material will probably be applicable to each situations. So for instance, you would create pointers reminiscent of sure time frames for answering emails, or texting just for ongoing matters and no calls between certain hours. These businesses have since extended their operations to incorporate cities exterior Metro Manila, corresponding to Davao, Bacolod, Cebu and extra. Here it's essential to embrace transparency. We've found there are three vital substances to making distant work, effectively, work: Team, Tools, and Process. The employer's worry is attributable to the uncertainty of labor being carried out on the identical level or speed than if the distant worker would've been on the workplace. You assume full duty for all contractual and cost transactions instantly with your digital assistant. After three months, it's muscle reminiscence. High-quality assistants ready to hitch you and your staff. Prepare for rates, and funds immediately together with your virtual assistant. You have perfected the method and it's time that it must be passed onto a digital assistant to handle and continue to develop. This is a crucial issue because it makes communication more environment friendly between the business proprietor and their virtual assistant. For probably the most half, the colleges in the Philippines use English as their major language in teaching and studying. This is a reflection of the country's track report of providing attractive enterprise course of deals.

Team Insiders Boxing Gym Makati Manila
I often come through Manila, even though it would be way down on my list of preferences of places to visit. In fact, this capital city of the Philippines is chaotic, insanely crowded, choked with pollution, and jammed with traffic – and that’s just on a good day! But, it’s also the major transportation hub in the country (as all capital cities are), with the city of Cebu being the only realistic alternative for connecting flights anywhere in the nation of 7,500 islands.
So, I find myself doing battle with Manila’s traffic, forking over the high prices I find here, and surviving the crazy nightlife at least once a month, on the way to more mellow islands, beaches, and destinations. I’ve established a little ritual of familiarity in Manila, including staying at the same damn hotel every single time (the Best Western Oxford) in the same neighborhood (Makati), and even frequenting the same restaurants and coffee shops.
One of the challenges when you’re in Manila as a traveler is finding a good place to exercise. Simply going for a run outside isn’t a realistic option, as you’ll die of exhaust inhalation before you get around the block. There are some other gyms around, but they can be spread out (more time sitting in traffic), too busy at peak hours, or even too expensive.
I usually just lift weights at the tiny but serviceable gym at the Best Western, but I’d heard rumors about a boxing gym in the same area, that was improbably located just over a bar. Today, for the first time (it only took me two years to find it!), I visited the Team Insiders Boxing Gym.
It is situated right over a raucous open-air English bar, where bald headed and wild-eyed Brits and soused and still-pale Irishman watch footy, rugby, and generally just get wasted every night. I guess there’s some affiliation to the gym, as the owner also has a simple hotel in the same complex.
Either way, I found my way up to the second-floor boxing gym without many expectations or high hopes. I was pleasantly surprised in most ways, as it has everything you need for an incredibly taxing boxing or martial arts workout. In the center of the floorplan is the ring, of course, and it’s nearly full-sized, perfect for some light sparring or shadowboxing.
There’s an open floor in front of it where people can jump rope, do their drills, or the chiseled trainers hold pads for the patrons.
On the other side is a small row of heavy bags, a rack of gloves, headgear, etc. (the gloves smell TERRIBLY and are actually dangerously unhygienic, so bring your own). The gym also has a side room with a few weight benches, sit-up benches, and dumbells.
But boxing and martial arts is the main draw, and you can either workout on your own, or pay for a trainer to put you through the motions.
I was impressed by the level of the muay thai training, in particular, and there were talented amateur fighters and enthusiasts from the U.S., Thailand, Korea, and plenty from the Philippines all sweating and training hard while I was there.
They also have a little locker room and bathrooms and sell all sorts of gloves, hand wraps, and other gear.
The downside is that this gym isn’t cheap – and costs a virtual fortune by Filipino standards. In fact, I was advised that the workout alone would run 290 Pesos – or just shy of $6. Renting hand wraps and gloves would be another $2, and if I wanted to rent a locker or buy a water or anything else, I’d easily be looking at a $10 workout session.
That may not seem like a lot if you’re in the U.S., but that’s probably comparable to a $25 workout in the states.
No worries, as it’s better to spend money on fitness and health than eating and drinking it away in the bars here! I also found the staff and trainers to be very friendly, helpful, and professional ….EXCEPT one.
And that one actually tried to hustle me (borderline scam me) for way more money. I’ll cover that grift in another review so you can be aware how these things happen. Despite that hassle, the gym is a good place to go sweat out your jetlag or beer from the night before.

The downside is that this gym isn’t cheap – and costs a virtual fortune by Filipino standards. In fact, I was advised that the workout alone would run 290 Pesos – or just shy of $6. Renting hand wraps and gloves would be another $2, and if I wanted to rent a locker or buy a water or anything else, I’d easily be looking at a $10 workout session.
That may not seem like a lot if you’re in the U.S., but that’s probably comparable to a $25 workout in the states.
No worries, as it’s better to spend money on fitness and health than eating and drinking it away in the bars here! I also found the staff and trainers to be very friendly, helpful, and professional ….EXCEPT one.
And that one actually tried to hustle me (borderline scam me) for way more money. I’ll cover that grift in another review so you can be aware how these things happen. Despite that hassle, the gym is a good place to go sweat out your jetlag or beer from the night before.

Greg Smith shows glimpse of potential with Gilas as Chot left impressed
The Blackwater Elite reinforcement visibly had a seamless transition with 12 other local players on Thursday night as he joined them in running their half court sets in the course of the team’s continuos buildup for next month’s SEABA Championships.
“It was good, very productive,” said the 6-foot-10 Smith, who was personally offered by Blackwater owner Dioceldo Sy to Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas chief Al Panlilio as the team’s virtual replacement in the wake of injuries suffered by forwards Arthur Dela Cruz and Mac Belo.
“I think I fit their system and I think it’ll be a great fit,” added the Vallejo, California native.
Even Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes was impressed with how the former NBA journeyman, who had several stops with the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves in five seasons, “picked things up very quickly.”
“Because of that experience he’s able to pick things up very quickly. He’s been here just for one practice and obviously it’s not yet to the level of the others but we could already see what he’s capable of,” Reyes added.
The 26-year-old Smith added he won’t think twice to give the national team a shot—as a naturalized player, for use—if the opportunity arises in the foreseeable future.
“It’ll be a blessing to play with these guys,” he said. “These guys are great and I played against a couple of them and they’re all good. The coaching staff is great. This team is great. Obviously, I practiced with them to showcase my abilities. I’m absolutely blessed for this.”
Smith added: “This is a big opportunity for me to come out here, showcase my skills and perform with these guys—the best players in the country. So why not come here and show what I got to be a part of this team?”
Unknown to many, Smith made his first stop in the Philippines when the Rockets played against the Indiana Pacers as part of NBA’s Global Games in September, 2013.
And the Fresno State standout is certainly having the time of his life.
“This is an amazing place. I went to Cebu and now I want to go to Boracay next week. I’m havin’ a ball here,” he said.
Asked if he intends to stay in the Philippines for good if given a chance, Smith said: “That’s not even a question. There’s nothing bad for me to say. The fans, the games, the people…everything are great. So I wouldn’t mind being here.” – Fox Sports Asia

How well is your business delivering the customer experience you want to be known for?
For business leaders, that’s just one of many important questions about customer service that surfaced in 2020. As more consumers shifted to buying online, the ability to meet customers where they would prefer to be took on an added urgency.
Do your self-service channels work as well as your live channels, like chat, in providing product or service information?
How effective is your tech stack for customer service?
Are you getting useful and comprehensive feedback?
How are you using social media to gather insights about your customers?
How are your performance metrics leading to better customer experiences?

In May, our Results Coaches recommended our IT trainees Crisferd and Jay for the Humility Value Award. And in July, GO-VA and Global Office Founder Matt Kesby and our Organizational Development Manager Nina C. recommended our HR trainees Justine and Khaezelle for the Execute Value Award. The future will present some complex challenges, not just for communities or companies, but the world at large. Yet the commitment, intelligence, and inspiring results of our GO-VA and Global Office trainees this year give us plenty of hope for what’s ahead. We join the #InternationalYouthDay celebration by honoring these remarkable young leaders we’ve been privileged to meet. #YouAreRemarkable #YouthDay

We are grateful for our HR and Operations teams who made all the arrangements, and for our private medical insurance provider, who sent their team to do the tests and consultations, and coordinated as well with accredited clinics where our other tribemates have had their check-up. Most of all, thank you so much to the nurses and doctors who spent a day taking great care of us during the on-site exam. We appreciate you!

It’s going to be more challenging than usual to move from one city to the next until Aug. 15 in Metro Cebu. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, spontaneous moments of in-person brainstorming, like what our Automation Developer Khristian and Facilities Manager Jun did in our Strategy Day last May, will take place mostly online. That’s OK, though.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With tools like our HuddleBoard app and the commitment to connect and support one another, we can collaborate, stay creative, and help one another feel safe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’ve got this, Tribe! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
