Last week and till Monday, I spent most of my time training SMEs how to utilize the power of e-commerce to their business. They came from all sorts of businesses from spa and salon owner to marketing columbaries.

They spent most of their time uploading their work in our e-learning hosted running in Moodle. I look forward to see their e-commerce initiatives up soon.

Is it just me or is Friendster Groups feature just disappeared? I wonder….

Hello friends. I am scheduled to conduct a 3-day e-commerce training through the APEC Digital Opportunity Center on these dates:

Batch 1
September 26 to 28

Batch 2
September 29 to October 3.
 
This training is open to SMEs for free. It will be held at the National Computer Center, C. P. Garcia St., U.P. Diliman, Quezon City.

SMEs interested to apply for a slot can email me at digitalfilipino@gmail.com and will email the application form. You can also call Mercy Nicolas of the APEC Digital Opportunity Center (ADOC) at 920-7976.
