Janette Toral - Book Author and Publisher

This November 11, 18, and 25, I’m scheduled to conduct a Software Process Improvement Leadership and Execution Workshop. I haven’t done any public SPI-related training lately due to the workload I have at the moment. Should you have friends who may benefit from it, please pass.

I look forward in going back to the training track, actively again, starting January next year.

We are currently inviting companies to sponsor or support the Philippine Schools CyberFair 2006 as we kicked off our Regional Competition last August and will be launching the National Competition this November.

Just buy 100 copies of the Philippine Internet Review: 10 Years of Internet History (1994-2004) for thirty-four thousand pesos (P34,000) and you are automatically a sponsor for the Philippine Schools Cyberfair 2006 regional and national competition. (Please make all checks payable to Posh Marketing Services.)

As a sponsor, you shall be entitled to the following:

• Recognize your company as a donor in one of the Cyberfair categories and levels (8 categories and 3 levels).
• Present or deliver a talk or topic during the Cyberfair student convention or teacher training.
• Have your streamer posted and flyers given out during the Cyberfair student convention and 5-days teacher training. (December for regional level and April for national level)
• Have your company listed as sponsor in the Philippine Schools CyberFair website.
• Have your banner ad (468×60) posted at DigitalFilipino.com

We hope this request will merit the interest of companies.

For the growth of relevant Internet use and e-commerce in the Philippines!

Earlier today, I got the opportunity to train regional managers of the Department of Trade and Industry for one-day hands-on intensive crash course on e-commerce. They got the chance to do electronic banking, e-government, accept payments online, create an Internet marketing campaign, and integrate Google AdSense in their blog.

I’m glad that efforts in skill building on e-commerce is very active nowadays. I look forward in seeing more SMEs become more knowledgeable on this.
