It's all over the new, Pepsi-Cola Philippines have scheduled their IPO tomorrow, 01-February 2008. The market is a bit ambivalent, but more have been giving good predictions of PCPPI's offering.
At over Php3 pesos a share, this one is a good buy. Another consideration for would-be buyers, the Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC) is buying 9.5% of Pepsi Philippines shares. See full details here.

The following day (Wednesday, 16-Jan-2008) after returning from the trip in Naga City, I took a 5:30am flight bound for Tacloban City. Again, I have to make another round of Business Process presentation with my client's local Sales, Finance and Logistics group.The rain had just stopped when the plane landed in Tacloban airport - which is a small airstrip right beside the shoreline of Tacloban City. After about 15 minutes drive, I was already in Mac Arthur Park Beach Resort, in Palo, Leyte where I will be staying for a night before flying back to Manila the next day. This was also the venue of the 6-day 
new Sales and Distribution system training conducted by one of our team of Consultants assigned in Eastern Visayas area.

I stayed in room 315, fronting the Seminar Hall and the swimming pool, and a few yards from the beach front. The room looked creepy, with all the 
ancient furnishings, and gloomy lighting. It has two big beds.

I had a feeling Gen. MacArthur would visit me that night - perhaps, yelling " Hey, wake up, I have returned!" Hahaha. I would probably prefer a visit from Uncle Douglas rather than a visit with Gen. Yamashita or some Japanese O

Monday, January 14, 2008 marked the start of a series of provincial trips to kick-off the new system training in the last 3 plants of a my Client.
The 3 teams of Consultants have been on these sites since the previous week. They were facilitating the preparation and cleanup of all required static data (customers, routes, products, A/R balances, sales volumes) to ensure completenes and accuracy.
Naga was my destination last Monday. With only one flight going in and out of Naga, you cannot afford to miss the early morning (6:30 am) flight. I had a party the previous night so 'sleep' was something that I didnt have that day. Just less than an hour flight, I was in Naga before 7:30 am. My task was to present the 'New Business Process' which normally takes 4-6 hours - depending on the number of questions and issues raised by the participants.
The training venue was held at the Regent Hotel, where I was also billeted. The room was spacious, with a huge matrimonial bed - good thing there was no 'strange feeling' felt inside the room. 
That was my second time in Naga, the first one was more than 10years ago. Mt. Isarog is still there, fortunately, and all those old churches all around the city. Progress can now be noticed with the construction of new nightspots and restaurants. We had dinner at the Avenue - perhaps, the Greenbelt of Naga. 
I managed to take some pictures as well. Well, one of the good or not so good things about Consulting job is you really have to travel a lot. This one was something I looked forward to.
The next day, I took the only flight to Manila at 8:30am.
I'm going back there next week - on 22-January.

Its the final lap, the 4th quarter, the last stretch of our systems implementation of this multinational company with Head Office in Manila and around a dozen Plants nationwide with more than a hundred installation sites.
We have finally come to the final leg of our project. The last 3 plants have to be rolled out by March, 2008. Things are getting more exciting, the Team is even more aggressive.
Trainings are started this week simultaneously. There's a site in Leyte, one in Naga City and the other in Northern Philippines.
We are targeting to Cutover and do the data migration next week, after a week-long training. All static data are now currently finalised and should be signed-off by end of the week.
More on this, soon.

Recently, I got busy over the holidays configuring my new website http://www.on-myweb.com/. It was kinda ambitious since I don't know anything about FTP, PHP, HTML, web designing, and all those other techie stuffs.
I envision my site to be a place where people can converge, not just for social networking (like what Friendster or MySpace and the other similar-themed sites) but also for professional networking. I want a site that can provide fresh contents for its members, from its members, be it something about Systems, Cooking, Banking, the Internet and other fields of expertise. I need a site that can put together all these ideas, store and archive into a huge database of stories, events, literary works, blogs, topics, reports, projects and any other form of article.
Then I came across PHP-Nuke and Joomla! Honestly, I didn't knew anything about these two monsters only about a week ago. These are Content Management Systems (or CMS) - to simply say, a configurable online software that can manage, store, provide contents, and provide dynamic pages to a website. A website can be a newsletter, an online community such as a Forum, a Gallery or Photoblog, or a blogging site. CMS enables anyone to create a great website from readily-made templates and modules, and expand the site using available plugins and themes.
Now I installed these two softwares, obviously, the latest Joomla! release (ver. 1.5RC5) looks more appealing in terms of visuals, but PHP-Nuke excels in terms of contents, easy-to-configure and provides POINTS systems to its users.
Anyone who can help me decide which to choose. To Joomla! Or to Nuke?
By the way, although these are not yet finished, feel free to check out these two sites:
