Hello everyone, I've come out from one of my successful hiatus (finally!). I haven't touched this blog for half-a-year. How are things here lately? I looks like everyone is dead... oh my ghulay...
Maintaining a blog is hard nowadays... well, for me of course. There are some people are comfortable doing it. They are gifted ones with the power of words and a bunch of ideas in my mind put together to form a great post, so great that everyone steals them and claims the stolen entries as theirs (okay, that's the sad part) but it doesn't stop most authors to make astounding entries.
With the proliferation of this so-called hype called Facebook, it made matters worse. I got to the point that I never respnded to game requests because I'm too busy with my FarmVille, Mafia Wars and Vampire Wars. But after the great flood, thanks to Typhoon Ondoy, I got back to my senses that I should not dependent to those games.
So... what should I post? Posting for a nerdy introduction sounds bland.
Maybe I'll save my words for later, when the inspiration strikes...
Good day.
In the recently concluded Tholons Globalization Service, Cebu ranked 1st among 50 emerging cities in the Global Outsourcing Industry. Cebu City is the only city from list maintaining its ranking from the previous year.

The top 50 list is dominated by mostly South American and East European cities.
Other Philippine cities also excelled in the outsourcing industry according to Tholons. One of which is Manila ranking 4th in the Top 8 Global Outsourcing Cities - a list which is dominated by 6 cities from Dubai and Dublin Ireland. Also, Iloilo ranked 3rd in Top 10 Aspiring cities in the outsourcing industry.
Scale and quality of workforce, business catalyst, cost, infrastructure, risk profile and quality of life were the six categories that the different outsourcing cities were evaluated upon.
Cebu’s vast workforce makes the province highly recommended for outsourcing. With different skilled individuals trained in prestigious schools with excellent English language proficiency, Cebu is filled with talented resources willing to render services to foreign clients.

All the factors that Tholons Globalization Service have in their categories for qualification makes Cebu globally competitive. Indeed, it shouldn’t be questioned that Cebu got the top spot in outsourcing and offshore services.
