Why Hire Online Filipino Workers?

This is a sticky post. For newest entries, see the next post.

Would it be worth it to hire online freelance workers from the Philippines? Even Google and Yahoo does not encourage telecommuting anymore. Why should I if the gurus have tested it and seen it does not work?

My observation all these years is: Not all people with an internet connection can work at home. However, there is a very small percent of people who DO thrive, perform well and even enjoy working for you, regardless of physical location.

So my answer to your question is, yes, it would be worth it to hire online Filipino workers because .. READ MORE>

Cheap Gadget Review: China Android Tablet


Someone gave me an i-pad clone for my birthday, which I fondly refer to as I-dap, I-dep, I-dop.

At first I wsn't sure what to do with it, as I am content with my speedy mobile net and the desktop.

I've had it for 3 weeks now and all I can say is it's nice to have one.

If you use your computer for simple internet and office tasks, I can vouch that this China I-pad clone is more than enough for your needs.


- You can easily check emails (most email sites have a mobile version and will automatically revert to it)
- Facebook, twitter, etc. comes in the mobile version, so it's easy to use.
- Youtube - quick, continuous upload.
- Blogger is okay, I'm using it now.
- Has a docs, spreadsheet and presentation software, so you can also give one to your child for school work. (Assuming your child takes care of things properly.)
- PDF reader. The main use of this gadget for me. I've finished one e-book this weekend. I wanted to read the book from my phone but couldn't, and now I was able to. Yehh!

The tablet clone I got can be used with a keyboard. It has a hub thingy for 2 USB ports and a modem connector.
Keyboard is of course too small to what you're used to, but it's supposed to fit in an 8-inch wide board.
Batteries last for about 2 hours, based on my own usage of using wifi, brightest lcd display, etc. I haven't timed how long to charge it.

Oh, yeah, I still don't have Angry Birds! The Android version of this baby is 5.0 lolz. But my friend Troy got a tablet too, his Android version is 2.2 and he immediately was able to put in one. I don't care too much for games, so it's okay with me.

All in all, for the price of this 'game and watch' (kids, ask your parents what that is, lolol) for around Php3?4?5?K (another friend got hers for only Php2,700 at 999 Mall in Divi, while Troy got his for about 4k? in Ortigas), this baby is 2 thumbs up.


Overall satisfaction? Very content
Sturdy? Mine seems so, brand is MID
Speed? Of course, slow to middle only. If you're expecting more, spend for a laptop.
Laptop or clone tablet? Clone tablet
Why? Lighter, does the same things, touch screen too.
Okay to have even if you have the other gadgets? Yes.
Do you recommend this to friends? For the non-brand conscious with simple computer needs, yes. But if you feel you are a better person because you have the i-pad, I suggest get the I-pad. Apps are also easier to get, obviously.

(Omg, I honestly did not realize this was in the style of Orange Monster's Quick and Dirty Notes. lolz.  Oh well...)
