View of Cebu City From the Port Comparison

When I was travelling outside of Zamboanga city for the first time in 2007, I was able to capture this video aboard the Super Ferry ship in Cebu. Back then, I loved playing Sim City (and I still do). I became fascinated with urban planning and loved skyscrapers. The first time in my life that I saw skyscrapers in person was in Cebu.

When I went to Cebu from Bohol in 2026, I was excited to see this view again. I was travelling on an Oceanjet ferry from Bohol this time around.


I was disappointed when I did not see the view of the skyscrapers with the green mountains at the back. Instead, what I saw was only the new bridge connecting Cebu to Mactan.

Maybe the bigger ships use a different port or maybe they were taller so I had a better view.

14 Call Center Interview Questions & Answers

The call center industry is one of the fastest growing in the country these days. As recently as ten years ago, there were only a few call center agents and the word call center was hardly ever used in the country. Today, almost every family has at least one member working in the call center industry. The reason for this boom is partly economics. In the Philippines, low paying jobs are very notorious and while call centers set up shop here because of the low labor costs, Filipinos decide to work for the call center industry because it pays higher than average wages.

Call centers also will pay your SSS (Social Security), PAGIBIG (home building fund), and PhilHealth (health ins...

Making your call center resume should be fast and very easy. It should be very simple, concise, and to the point. There are only five things that call center resumes should contain: your data, work experience, educational background, skills, and references. This is most probably the same as in other industries. Now I’m going to discuss the five things that resumes for call centers should contain. 1. Your Data The first thing that a call center resume should have is, of course, your data.

How to Register to DITO Promos Thru Text

Image
I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to register to DITO promos without going through their app. I don't know why but apparently DITO's app needs internet connection to be accessed. How very counterintuitive! Imagine, I was about to register to a Smart Promo just to access their app and subscribe to a promo! Anyway, thank goodness I was able to find a way to subscribe to DITO promos without using their app. Here is how you can register to DITO promos thru text: 1. Text HELP or 0000 to 185. This is free of charge. 2. You will receive a reply with the menu. Choose 'Buy Promo'. 3. Choose your desired promo and confirm your purchase. That's it! Now you just have to wait for a text confirmation or try to check if you can now access the internet. Hope this helps you out!
