Mga Pusang Gogora: TOMCAT Seniors' Tribute

Wazzup Pilipinas!

As TOMCAT bids goodbye to its graduating kittens, it will hold the annual seniors' tribute titled "Mga Pusang Gogora: TOMCAT Seniors' Tribute" at The Lounge, Tomas Morato, on June 4, 2015. This event will be a night filled with exciting surprises, touching farewells—the ultimate throwback for its dear seniors. This is a night of a trip down memory lane while commemorating the journey and celebrating the exceptional hard work and dedication they have displayed during their stay in TOMCAT. All these, of course, while giving thanks for their service to the Thomasian community.

With Tomasian Cable Television (TOMCAT) being the official broadcasting arm of the University of Santo Tomas, it has been disseminating news inside and outside the university, providing quality entertainment by producing television and radio shows and covering and staging events through partnerships with other college-based and university-wide organizations. From the kittens’ humble beginnings as volunteers to members of an official media organization in the campus, the organization has evolved and taken it up a notch by gaining partnerships and bagging awards within and beyond the walls of the university, inspiring them to attract and gain strong partnerships with sponsors and media partners.

As TOMCAT continues to work to maintain the post for being the top source of premium entertainment and information, in and out of the university, its doors remain open for new partnerships and long term sponsorships from companies and other organizations.

Epson Brand Marks 40 Years

Wazzup Pilipinas!

On June 12, 2015, Seiko Epson Corporation (SEC) will mark the 40th anniversary of the Epson brand the company uses on many of its products and services.

To commemorate this anniversary, we at Epson aim to show our appreciation to the stakeholders who have supported our brand over the years. We will also take a retrospective look at the meaning of the brand and reaffirm our commitment to continuing to provide our customers with products that surprise and delight.

Epson (then Daiwa Kogyo) was founded in 1942. Originally a developer and manufacturer of watches, Epson later leveraged its core technologies -- which enable products that are compact, energy saving and high-precision -- to enter and gradually expand in other business areas. As a vertically integrated enterprise with capabilities ranging from product development and manufacture to sales and marketing, Epson began moving into the information equipment business in 1968 with the release of the EP-101, the world's first compact, lightweight digital printer, and followed this in the 1970s with a succession of computer peripheral products. As the company went on to develop new markets and provide customers around the world with satisfying products and services in a broad range of categories, we decided to develop a unique, original brand.

The Epson brand name comes from the EP-101, the product that kicked off the company's expansion into the information equipment business. The "EP" stands for "electronic printer" and the "SON" represents our desire to follow the original electronic printer with many worthwhile descendants (products and services). The "Exceed Your Vision" global tagline that accompanies the Epson brand concisely states our promise to customers that Epson will continue to exceed their expectations.
