I have cellphones both for GLOBE and SMART. However recently, I started to feel the comfort of my PLDT Landline Plus account.
Someone from PLDT told me and my husband that we can buy a PLDT Landline Plus SIM card and insert it in any GSM mobile phone. So, my husband bought 2 PLDT Landline Plus SIM cards and inserted each in our extra mobile phones.And viola! I can now call my office PLDT phone at a lesser cost and my secretary can call me through my PLDT mobile number without any charge at all.
Me and my husband now use our PLDT landline plus phone more often than our other cellphone accounts. With this, we are easily reachable by anyone from within the city without them hesitating to call a cellphone number (which would cost more)
The only flaw to this account that I have discovered so far is that when my number is being called from my office (landline), my secretary often gets a busy tone even if I am not using my number. Maybe this is because the system is not yet perfected or the system is not yet capable of heavier communication traffics. Although this situation also happens to other networks often.
But whatever it is, I can say I am very happy with my PLDT Landline Plus.

PLDT new services for SMEs
Yesterday, me and my husband were invited to the products presentation conducted by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). Many products and services were presented and introduced. I am glad that PLDT finally went into offering these services after so many years of being stuck with only providing the voice services.
Before this event came, we were already approached by a PLDT representative and I am already working on the application forms for four (4) DSL connections and four (4) WeRoam accounts.
We are no longer happy with the Internet service provided by our present ISP and I believe that transferring to PLDT will be a wise move. I was think that the WeRoam service is better than the SmartBro (which I don't have anyway) for the wireless Internet services.
During the cocktails after the presentation, I got to chat with the PLDT big guys and shared with them our need to make our school a WiFi zone and they said, they would be happy to provide the services too.
I also got interested with the PBX service which woul really improve our trunkline services.
Watch out for the presentation of these PLDT services in your area. Perhaps you can also learn what service that they offer might answer to your own needs.

University Information System
Since early part of this year, I have been in regular meetings for a big project which I am heading - the University Information System for the University of Bohol.I wrote this press release last October, 2007 about the UIS of the University of Bohol.
The University of Bohol, the first school in Bohol to use computerized systems in some aspects of its operations way back in the early 90’s, is even going more steps higher as the UB administration decided to go into full-computerization move for all its school operations to better improve its services. This progress is being undertaken by the University of Bohol in line of its thrust of providing the best services to its students, teachers and other stakeholders.
Atty. David B. Tirol, UB president and Mr. Tony Grajo, president of the Wizzard Techologies, Inc. (based in Manila) signed the contract for the University Information System (UIS) for the University of Bohol last September 26, 2007 at the office of the UB president.
The UIS, implementation of which has already been started early last month, will provide improved and more sophisticated computerization modules. The first phase of the implementation which is being undertaken already are the system modules for the registrar’s office, finance, academe, scheduling, enrollment, student services, medical and dental, information kiosks, library, and the executive information system. Phase two which is expected to be completed at the end of this year are the systems module for the alumni, Internet usage and monitoring, university accounting system, human resource management system, and web integration.
According to the University Information System project director, UB registrar Leah Tirol-Magno, few of the immediate results of the implementation of the UIS that can be felt and actually experienced by the students are the shortening of the enrolment process by more than half the time than the previous process and the absence of the filling-out of enrolment forms. Even the academic advising process (evaluation of student academic records) is now being done electronically also.
Users of the University Information System are undergoing trainings by this time. The registrar’s and finance office staff, deans, some teachers, guidance counselors, medical and dental clinic staff and administrators who will be using the system are now busy familiarizing the use of the system.
The whole system would require the installation of about fifty (50) new high-end computer units to be installed in each office that would be using the system. Some of the new computer units will be installed this week and more will be installed next week. Networking systems using high-end materials are also underway. As parallel implementations are already being done by this time, the new systems will already be fully utilized starting October 8, 2007 when the enrolment for the 2nd semester school year 2007 begins.
Upon the completion of this almost ten million pesos project, it is expected that the University of Bohol will be having the most advanced university computerization and information system in the province of Bohol and even probably in the whole region.
