Wazzup Pilipinas!

Power Mac Center (PMC) has done it again with another first as they partner with Microsoft Philippines in launching Office 365 for Apple products. The launch of Office 365 was held at the Power Mac Center Rockwell Power Plant Mall branch on November 27, 2015. 

I'm sort of busy this weekend because of a two-day drive-tour caravan to be held on November 28 and 29 in Cavite where we will be touring the different popular tourist spots in that area. Thus, for the meantime, I'm just posting the official press release below as provided by the organizers. 

As per interview with the people doing the demo of the product installed on the different Apple devices, I've learned that eventhough the Apple OS have their own office productivity software named iWorks, Microsoft Office remains to be the most popular and in-demand office productivity tools used even on Apple products. Previous Office release was 2011 so the Office 365 which is 2016 if they will base it on the year it was release must surely have many new and advance features and tools for better office productivity requirements.

I may tell you more stories about the launch, post more pictures, and share my thoughts about the new productivity software from Microsoft soon. after I used the actual product since they gave each one of the attendees a personal Office 365 subscription.

Farm Tourism, a component of Community- Based Rural Tourism, is now a global trend as travelers seek unique and engaging experiences. It boosts the country’s economy by improving the income and potential economic viability of small farms and rural communities.

With just a little bit of ingenuity and creativity, farmers can earn more not just by selling their produce, but by diversifying to other products and services that would satisfy the needs and wants of travelers.

On November 28-29, 2015, Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) Travel in partnership with Petron will hold its 11th Drive-Tour Caravan to the province of Cavite.

With the theme, “A Culinary and Farm Expedition”, the caravan will bring the participants to Gourmet Farms, Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm, Cornerstone Pottery Farm, Aguinaldo Shrine and Good Shepherd.

They will also bring the participants to some of Cavite’s newest tourist spots such as Puzzle Mansion, The Gingerbread House, Balay Indang and Balay Farmers Park.
