At the same time, civil society organizations all over the world had a simultaneous launch of action/2015 to have a stronger call for a just and sustainable world. It is a citizen’s movement and the biggest global campaign platform that seeks to lobby for transformational change around the world. 

In the Philippines, aksyon/2015 campaign will focus on addressing poverty and inequality, ensuring climate justice and resilience and good governance. Its aim is to inspire actions that empower the marginalized and collectively tackle the root causes of inequality, injustice, poverty and climate change. It promotes development justice where people are able to realize their rights.

Epson Improves Point-Of-Sale Efficiency With Cloud-Enabled Printers

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Are you tired of long queues when buying merchandise from retail stores? As a business owner, are you losing customers because of long waiting times, or have lost opportunities to sell because product information is not readily available when customers demand it?

Global research* has shown that 75% of stores are looking to adopt cloud-based Point-Of-Sale (POS) systems in the next 5 years to improve the in-store customer experience and attract more shoppers. These systems help a retail store owner and the staff to have better customer interactions thereby increasing sales possibilities.

By providing information fast with the use of handheld devices and remotely printing receipts, these cloud-based POS systems can go a long way in carrying out transactions. And compared to traditional methods, they cost much less to install and can be upgraded faster.

All these are important factors to help keep ahead of the competition.

For customers, it lessens one of the major nuisances in shopping -- long lines to pay for just a single item.

Chef Laudico Guevarra's: San Juan's Finest Buffet Experience

Wazzup Pilipinas!

When many restaurateurs would choose to setup their food business at busy commercial areas like malls, call center districts and crowded intersections, some would choose to pick places where they can find a more presentable ambiance.

I do believe that when you have great products to sell or offer, the people will come to you no matter where you put up your venture. If you are truly confident of what you can provide to your potential customers, they will look for you anywhere you go.

Of course convenience of location is a factor to consider but when you invest on quality.... for sure... the people would come in quantity. Many drove from distant locations just to be able to dine on the fabulous buffet that Chef Laudico Guevarra's has to offer.

This is what I witnessed during our dining experience at Chef Laudico Guevarra's buffet restaurant. The place was more than majestic. It seems there's a lot of history behind the establishment. It may have underwent a few renovations and improvements, it still retains a resonating image of how life was like during the olden days.
