PAL RAINE

I am a Dabawenya and I am very proud to call my self a native from Davao City.

Here in Davao City we have 182 Barangays arranged into 3 Legislative Districts and 11 administrative districts.

For 38 years living here, I can say that I haven't known my City well. There are some places that I haven't visited like PAQUIBATO(2)and MARILOG(3) District.

Yes! I belong to 1st District that is why places I've mentioned above are nowhere near me. I am curious to know what is happening in these places and how to go there. It is SAFE or do we need a guide to travel here?

PAQUIBATO DISTRICT 2 compose of 13 Barangays:

Fatima(Benowang)

Colosas
Lumiad
Mabuhay
Malabog
Mapula
Panalum
Pandaitan
Paquibato Proper
Paradise Embak
Salapawan
Sumimao
Tapak

I heard so much about this place, but most of the news I get are all negative. When the Military decided to establish a camp here the livelihood of the people of Paquibato were affected. But I was wrong, when I saw the pictures from their FACEBOOK PAGE the place was so peaceful and harmonious. Nice place to live. More photos here: ENTER DAVAO

MARILOG DISTRICT 3 compose of 12 Barangays:

Baganihan
Bantol
Buda
Dalag
Datu Salumay
Gumitan
Magsaysay
Malamba
Marilog Proper
Salaysay
Suawan(Tuli)
Tamugan

Eager to visit this place again except for BUDA. I've been to BUDA not once but thrice
and I really enjoyed the place. So refreshing!

Wanted to experience other places like Suawan and Tamugan wherein my parents used to teach the tribes of Davao City. More or less 60 kilometers away from the busiest street of Davao City. Pollution free, noise-free and stress-free!

Not so well visited places here in Davao City but soon to be part of your itinerary once you travel to my town. If you decide to visit Davao, visit Davao City Tourism for your guide they will definitely help and assist you in providing assistance and advice on how to visit this places.

And I will conclude that this will become a HAPPY PLACE in Davao if given a proper promotion.

HAPPY 29th KADAYAWAN SA DABAW

I really don't know what happened to our Customer Service Industry right now. Just recently, I have this bad experience with a CSR from a prestigious company who don't know how to handle customers complaints and queries. Just in front of us she uttered bad words and shouted as to WAIT for our turn. This is not good for the company or any other establishment to have an employee like this, having this kind of attitude.

I remember when I am still studying in college, my first job is to work as a Customer Service Representative or a CSR at RCPI-Bayantel (Legazpi Branch-Davao). I admit I don't have that kind of a training on how to handle the position I have, apart from answering calls, sending and receiving FAX Simile telegraphs/letters, and etc.

The only thing I know that I have to TALK with the customers and by ANSWERING them promptly with grace and respect.

COMMUNICATION and INTERACTION

I love talking.

We all love talking whether we are in the office, school, universities or in public. That's good especially if you use it rightly without doing no harm to others. You are sociable and outgoing person and this is a major draw to become a good CUSTOMERS SERVICE AGENT/REPRESENTATIVE. But if you are shy and afraid to communicate with strangers, well CUSTOMERS SERVICE JOB is a NO NO for you.

EXTENDING HAND TO HELP OTHERS

I love to help.

This is our primary role aside from answering queries and attending complaints. We are here to extend our hands in order to help and resolves costumers issues. We have to know them better.

CAMARADERIE AND SUPPORT TEAM

Together we can.

All through out the day, your time is focus in dealing various costumers issues. But never forget that doing it by team or a group you can easily handle things smoothly without dealing the dramas and workloads. I mean build a team for costumers satisfaction.

I know that this job requires proper knowledge but there is no job that can truly give you happiness unless you know how to become a FLEXIBLE PERSON.

FLEXIBILITY

Having this kind of attitude you will become a GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT and this will benefit you in your next career moves.

Now on its 40^th year, The Metro Manila Film Festival’s “New Wave” competition was the brainchild of MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino. It was introduced in 2010 due to the continued popularity of “Indie” films that serve as a platform for aspiring student and independent film enthusiasts to showcase their talents.

“This year, as we celebrate our 40^th year, MMFF will continue the tradition of supporting independent films through a bigger, better, and bolder New Wave Section,” Tolentino said.

Deadline for submission of entries is October 4, with 60 videos to be selected as finalists.

Big prizes await this year’s winners.

In buying cars you have to be really accurate and well detailed. Important things should be taken and not to be taken for granted.

When you bought a brand new car and something goes wrong, go back to the dealer and ask for a repair or a refund or a replacement for the "LEMON" car, but you only received a reply from the company, a "SORRY" or not a single word at all.

So thankful that this law is now implemented here in the Philippines, The LEMON LAW.

What is a LEMON? A term use to describe a car that is unsafe, inefficient, had a repeated problems, or defect. In New York, they had this law, that if you buy a brand new or a second hand car the buyer has the right to return the car if they discovered it defected and its not working well.

Now, here in the Philippines we have this new law, RA 10642, " An Act Strengthening Consumer Protection in the Purchase of Brand New Motor Vehicles, approved last July 15, 2014 by our President Benigno S. Aquino 111.

These are some of the highlights of RA 10642:

Sec.4 - COVERAGE: This act shall cover brand new motor vehicles purchased in the Philippines reported by a consumer to be in nonconformity with the vehicle's manufacturer or distributor's standard or specifications within 12 months from the date of original delivery to the consumer, or up to 20,000 kilometers of operation after such delivery, whichever comes first.

Sec.5 - REPAIR ATTEMPTS: At any time within the Lemon Law rights period, and after at least 4 separate repair attempts for the same complaint, the consumer may invoke his or her rights under the Act. Repair includes replacement of parts, components, or assemblies.

Sec.6 - Before availing the act under Sec 5, the consumer shall, in writing, notify the manufacturer, distributor, authorized retailer or dealer.

Department of Trade and Industry should implement the Rules and Regulations within 90 days from the effectivity of the ACT.

Two people bind together as one, a relationship that had a vow, to live together eternally. A mutual understanding that expressed in the Sacrament of Matrimony.

It's like a fairy tale story, finding your Prince Charming or your Queen and have a happy ending, "TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER".

But when MISTRUST comes in, love totally goes away.

Every relationship there's always a trial as they usually say, but if that trials destroys your trust it is another story.

Been betrayed many times, not once, but so many times. I suspect many of us can relate to this feeling the clinging to a grudge. We felt the anger and we wanted to REVENGE. We can easily forgive but somethings is holding us not to forget it.

It's not easy to forget when the love of your life breaks your heart. But it doesn't imply that if you don't have that trust you will not love again. Though the fear of trusting might be broken again, you still hold on because you believe that this is LIFE and a part of a trial that is proving you to be STRONG.

Paranoid of a little hurts, that when suspicion arises, you will feel that someone will hurt you again.

I am a POSITIVE PERSON, I think that everything run so good. But when it comes to RELATIONSHIP I always go wrong because I think that way. Rationalizing the feelings that when this MAN do this to me, this MAN will do that to me once more.

The reality, it takes time for me to trust again.

It will take courage to acknowledge my feelings and willingness to take a person once again in my life, to bring back that trust again I have to start it within myself.

It takes a mutual commitment to hear and honor what other person once to say about me. And moving beyond instead of living from the past full of memories.

Rehashing the old ideas into a new form without changing any significant details just to help me improve myself. And to think that everything had a good purpose why that person is hurting me.

And to believe, that there will be that someone who will treat me RESPECT and give CONSIDERATION in everything that I do. I will not close my door for love.

Read this from an FB post:

The thing about being DEFENSIVE in everything you do is that everything becomes a BATTLE, and no one ever WINS.

I will love-hurt-love-hurt over and over. Only this time I will take precautions, I will ask myself IF I AM READY to take the RISK? And I am ready to TRUST again?
