If i will going to chose one this five On-line jobs I'm going to chose the choice number 3, the [b]IT Security Analyst[/b]
because this is one of my dream to become an a security analyst. i like this job because i want to fight all the cracker.. the people who view or manipulate your files without the consent of the owner and with the bad intention. i want to minimize this kind of cyber attack.. hehehe!

The Jobs that i want to hold in the Future...

They have a lot of job that I want to handle specially to the job that deals with computer, because in most cases right now the job that deals with computer is the most challenging and most important to a business group. A computer literate is now more needed to the different kind of profession because everywhere you are weather you like or not you can deal with technology. And the most important of it is to have more knowledge about this. This are the most jobs that I really want to handle in the future:

• Web Developer
• Database Administrator
• Call center Agents

Why Web Developer?

Web Developer is the most in demand job right now in fact there is a lot of company looking for a web developer. Sooner, the population of a web developer will grow fast and be more challenging for me to manage just like call center, a web developer company is also a twenty four hours in service. So we can see through this that this can be a good scoop of the Human Resource student in the coming year. For the Human Resource Manager this is the most challenging for them to manage the employee especially in night shift. . .

Why Database Administrator?

Database Administrator, is the profession that I really like most, because this profession can develop my ability to manage database and also a database Administrator are the most important person in the system. There is a lot of money involve in this job, wow!! Imagine if you are a database administrator and you are managing a different database you’re easy to gain money. So if I’m the Human Resource Manager I just have a one hundred Database administrator of course it’s a challenge for me to manage them because in every database Administrator there is a minimum of one and more than one database that they manage. So therefore, My Company has a lot of applicants that makes transaction to maintain their system and that’s jobs transaction is under the Human Resource-Department because the database administrator is belong to the Human Resource-Department.

Why Call Center Agents?

Call Center Agents is the most challenging jobs for the Human Resource- Department especially to the large amount of the employee in the call center because a lot of strategy are going to impose and plan on how to become their employee more productive even in the night shift are still energetic and how to maintain the right mood of answering the phone call of the caller. This would be the important thing for the Human Resource Department that needs an attention for a call center company. That’s why a call center company is looking for a good Human Resource Manager because they know how hard to manage the employee in a call center.

This are the jobs that I really want to handle because like what I’ve explain in the upper part of this column for me this is the most challenging jobs that I really wants to handle and hope sooner I can handle even one of this.

Reflection/Learnings COMDDAP

Hi guys..! Hi sir..!

July 02, 2009, In the Apo View hotel the exhibition of Computer’s Manufacturer’s Distributor’s Dealers Association of the Philippines (COMMDAP) was held. Most of the technology company participates in this event they launch the new and the latest technology that we have now in our country, it’s a big opportunity for us student to be a part of this event because not only for exposing our selves to saw the latest technology but we gain knowledge through the free seminar that they were conduct. This seminar is open to all participants, visitors and students, for main reason that they can introduce their new product. I gain more knowledge in that seminar, especially to the session that I attended. The Jupiter System and the HP- thin clients.
First, the Jupiter System: Jupiter Systems is the leading worldwide supplier of visualization solutions for command and control applications. Jupiter's display wall processors are designed for continuous, 24x7 operation and are used in more than 6000 network operation centers, electric power generation and distribution control rooms, boardrooms, intelligent traffic control centers, 911 dispatch centers, financial operations, surveillance and security centers, and fixed and mobile military operations control centers around the world. In that day, Jupiter System Inc. introduced their new and upgradable system that can be applicable to most of the Operating System that we have been using now specifically the Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, Mac OS IX.. Their system is all about the system that can be use in the business company specifically to the dealer of automobile. It can also be applicable to the auto shop that repair or maintain car machines; it has a lot of features including the time of employee while they are repairing the car. And it will be take effect to their Daily Time Record (DTR). Obviously this System is communicating to the database but we amaze the advantages of their system it is really amazing and a good application software for the business group like rubberland or other company that are dealing with automobile business weather they are a dealer of a brand new car, surplus, or even in a parts of a car. It will be helpful because of the advantages that will give to the customer’s and to the owners of the business.
Second, the HP- Thin Clients was known with their flexibility and functionality with broad choice of models and operating systems.
• Genuine Windows® CE
Embedded SP2
• Linux operating system
• Simplified central management
•3-year limited warranty
HP-Thin client categories can meet your unique needs: high performance, mobile, and all-in-one.
High performance thin clients provide PC power with thin client benefits
• Mobile thin clients for portability and flexibility in and out of the office
• All-in-one thin clients for customer facing or space-constrained environments (ideal for kiosks, carts, front office).
Actually this HP-thin client are widely use because of their advantages compare to desktop client specially to the business who are using a lot of desktop client, but for the people who are using for home sake it’s better to an desktop client because in using a thin client you are using a server to connect to the thin client. In the long run you can save a lot energy fee and it is free from viruses because the data are store in the flash drive and not in the hard drive. For me as a student it’s better for me to use a desktop client because it so expensive if I will use this HP-thin client. Just imagine the worth of the server is php 45,000 and the thin client is php 20,000 to php 30,000, the server can accommodate sixty thin client compare to one thin client and you expend a big amount for just one thin client. For this reason we can evaluate the advantage of using a desktop client but if you are talking the number of user’s it’s better for you to use a thin client. Hp- thin client have a good software as we can see there two of it that I Understand is the key component of HP’s overall management strategy, First, HP Device Manager allows you to track, configure, upgrade, clone, and manage up to thousands of thin client devices with ease. Dramatically simplify device deployment, task automation, compliance management, and policy-based security management for greater business agility. Second, HP Image Manager are also part of hp- thin client software, one single software image with the operating system, applications, and drivers is streamed on-demand from your streaming appliance to your organization’s thin clients. Imagine the simplicity of managing just one software image, instead of dozens or hundreds of images, as with other deployment methods.
After the Seminar we sight seeing in the ballroom ground of Apo View Hotel on where the exhibition was held. They have a lot of a technology that really amaze me especially the neo laptop it only cost 17,000 and that’s for COMDDAP price only. Not only the hardware that they exhibit even the software like the anti-viruses, Application System for the business group was already their. The Copier Machine, like printer, photo copier and also the different type of biometric technology. After roaming around in the exhibit we captured some picture in the different booth.
I’m so thankful for this opportunities that was given to me by Computer’s Manufacturer’s Distributor’s Dealers Association of the Philippines (COMMDAP), because it open my mind that technology are really evolved by time to time. As an Information Technologies it easily for me to adopt this kind of changes of the technology because it is a part of my field. They help me also to develop my skill in observing things for me to appreciate more or to give a comment those thing that I’ve see even though I don’t like it. Now, I can say to my self that the improvement cause by the Computer’s Manufacturer’s Distributor’s Dealers Association of the Philippines (COMMDAP) is now a part of my progress in my field.

the risks associated with business and IS/IT change

The Senior Manager of IS/IT Department

Hi Sir…

I and my group chose the ANFLOCOR for our individual study about the risks of changing an Information System.. It’s hard for us to set an appointment for their manager because he was to busy with his career. I thought choosing the ANFLOCOR as our adopt company is a big opportunity for us to catch up knowledge for our module and major paper but unfortunately we got mistaken because some of our question regarding Information System are hanging. He didn’t answer the question well; I don’t know if he has an idea on what are we talking about or he just don’t want to share his knowledge to us, but we really thankful to him that some of our question was answered by him.

Actually ANFLOCOR it’s one of the top exclusive company here in davao. The rise of the ANFLO Group business empire started from a vision of one man, Don Antonio O. Floirendo, Sr., or AOF, as he is fondly called by his employees. AOF's business acumen, inspired by his foresight and gut-feel, enabled him to build a business conglomerate which is proudly Mindanao based.As the number of companies grew, the need to organize a company that would be en tasked to manage the vast business empire became inevitable. Thus in 1977 ANFLO MANAGEMENT & INVESTMENT CORPORATION or ANFLOCOR was organized. Today, ANFLOCOR manages several companies engaged in growing and exporting of bananas and pineapples, real estate development and leasing, beach resort operation, manufacturing of corrugated boxes, plastic products and labels, processing and/or supplying fresh meat products, growing of citrus fruits, trucking, arrastre and stevedoring, cold storage rental, automotive dealership, financing, retailing, breeding of race horses, hog raising and production of bottled preserves.

The risks of changing an Information System, Actually everybody has a risk in changing an Information System basically for ANFLOCOR was the cost and some of their employee who was not updated for the new technology. As we all know one of the major disadvantages of having Information System in the organization or in the business group was the cost. Same with ANFLOCOR they experience this kind of disadvantage. Using Database Management System (DBMS) was too expensive for a business group like ANFLOCOR because they have a lot of company to manage and they need a better and good server so that their business transaction done on time. For the employee parts, their programmer and Data Administrator (DA), even their regular employee under the MIS Department, are necessary to update but a good news is they are conducting a seminar for their employee on what is the proper used of the Information System. The first Language that they used in their system was COBOL and then they upgrade it to Visual Basic 6.0, and now they are currently using a Visual Basic.NET for their front end and MS-SQL for their back end. Also the Integrity of their data was not maintained because of some changes in their Business system but it’s just for temporary. They can resolve it faster but we can’t avoid for that thing. Hehehe!

I learned a lot in this topic even the manager was not answered our question well but I still understand on what they are trying to say. Hoping that I can use it in the near future or even after taking this subject I can apply it to my other subject.

HR-best practices

Hi! Sir.. Hi! guys..

We chose EMCOR for our company in this Subject. EMCOR is a 100% Filipino-owned retail business corporations specializing in appliances, furniture, IT products, motorcycles, and money transfer through its network of specialty chain stores in the Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan areas. With the launching of their on-line store, EMCOR will now be making its presence known in the online industry and promote its company’s goals and vision to the global community.They carry a wide array of product lines like Panasonic, JVC, Philips, Sony, Sharp, Samsung, Electrolux, La Germania, Whirlpool, FS Furniture, Sanyo, Canon, Brother, Epson, Toshiba, Acer, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki and many others.

They have also partnered with Western Union for our money transfer services. The core of their existence is their ability to provide high quality service to their customers by providing the right products at the right time, in the right place and at the right price. They believe that as responsible members of their society, EMCOR should pursue their profit objectives in the spirit of service to the community. They believe in reconciling the profit motive of their Company with service to the nation. Thus, they strive to maintain a balance between the interests of their customers, employees, shareholders and the government by supporting national and local agenda for economic development, social reform, educational/scientific research, healthcare and environmental sanitation and preservation. To date, the JVR Foundation has given more than PhP200 Million in philanthropic work.

I with my group went to EMCOR last July 03, 2009 to have an interview to their Assistant manager for the best practices of Human Resource in their company. It was the craziest day that I have encountered on complying this requirement for this subject because we walk from USEP-Obrero to EMCOR-Bajada under the heat of the sun. I thought the heat of the sun would not irritate my skin while walking to our target place but unfortunately I got mistaken, it makes me feels sleepy after we reach our target place. Huhuhu!!!! As a group representative I am the one who first entered

to the office of Human Resource- Department and communicate to the In-charge of that office. Fortunately they entertain us and automatically prepared their self to answer the question that we've prepared. I call my group while waiting outside the office.

First , I ask the assistant manager on what is the importance of Human Resource- Department to their company? He answered that Human Resources is very important to the Organization or Business Groups like EMCOR because all of the transaction regarding the employee can be found in the Human Resource-Department for example like the processing of the Salary, Accounting Division, assist the employee for their basic needs like medication,loan etc. Human Resources- Department also concerned to the status of the company in terms of financial crisis like for example five months before the global financial crisis the Human Resource-Department propose for the optional retirement of the older employee. For almost 2200 employee of their entire branch here in the Philippines, 400 of them got this optional retirement opportunities for some reason that may be their employee want to build up a little business for their family.

Second, as assistant manager how did you take over the responsibilities if the manager are on leave to their duties? He answered that if In case they encountered a problem regarding their employee they automatically resolve it, example, if the employee was caught in the act for stolen some amount or product in the company, Human Resources-Department are the one who settle this kind of problem and of course they would have an hearing for the justices purposes, the employee have the rights to defend their self for the certain act that they've done, after the hearing they do not automatically fire the employee for the first offense. They suspend it.

Third , what is the best practices of Human Resource that did you apply in this company? They answered us may be is the disciplinary act for the employee like what they've said to the second question it considered a best practices of their company on how to handle the situation like that, they also have an scholarship for their employee and the children of their employee. Most of their employee was done their master in the famous institute in ASIA in terms of accounting, they also have a cooperative for the employee so that if some one wants to apply the loan they can, Actually this cooperative was own by the employee and manage by the HR-department. Although the owner of EMCOR was given them a pot of money cost of two million pesos for their cooperative but the employee are the one who manage it, Even their canteen own by the cooperative. And also, In case of emergency regarding the payment of the bill for the medication of the employee, the company would assist those payment if ever the bill will exist to the budget of the company for each employee, the company will lend them a certain amount in a very low interest.

Thats all I can say for this topic.. thank you so much for reading my column. Hahaaha!!! I've learn a lot on this topic.. see you guys for another topic.!!

Automated Election Reflection

Automated elections!!!???

Before I start to share my insight about this “AUTOMATED ELECTION” I first discuss on what automated Election really is? Does it give an advantage or Disadvantage to the Filipino citizen? What benefits we can get using this kind of modern type of election system? Hmmm! Come and join me on exploring this topic.

What is automated election?

I. SITUATIONER

The conduct of elections in the Philippines for the past four decades has remained largely

unchanged. Philippine elections rely heavily on manual tallying and canvassing of votes thus making

them vulnerable to control and manipulation by traditional politicians and those with vested interests.

The cost of winning an elective post is highly expensive, and the absence of mechanisms to check

and limit sources of campaign funds become fertile grounds for corruption and divisiveness.

In recent years, initiatives to reform the electoral system included the enactment of the

following laws: Republic Act (RA) 8046, establishing a pilot program modernizing the registration

and vote counting process in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, the Party List Law,

Fair Elections Act and the Absentee Voting Act. To address the inadequacies and limitations of the

electoral process, RA 8436 or the Election Automation Act of 1997, was passed authorizing the

Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to use automated election system for vote counting and

canvassing in the national and local polls. The law provided for the generation of a national

computerized voters list, establishment of a voters identification card system and the automation of

the vote counting.

However, sectoral issues still hinder reform efforts in the electoral process. The following

have been identified as basic problems afflicting the electoral system: (a) outdated electoral

process; (b) failure to implement the electoral modernization law; (c) limited administrative and

regulatory capabilities of the COMELEC; (d) ineffective educational/information campaigns on

new laws and policies; (e) weak political party system; (f) unaccountable political financing; and

(g) defective party list system (Governance Assessment, 2003).

II. GOALS, STRATEGIES AND ACTION PLANS

To ensure a credible and transparent electoral process, the modernization of the electoral

system through computerization shall be supported to ensure the credibility of polls and correct the

deficiencies in the electoral system. Likewise, the Omnibus Election Code shall be further revised

and amended to respond to the needs of the present electoral system.

Measures to strengthen the party system and regulate the activities of political parties shall

be created. State financing of political parties shall also be considered through the passage of the

Campaign Finance Bill.

The COMELEC’s capacity to raise the level of political discourse and educate citizens

Regarding their right to vote will be enhanced. This will be done through conduct of continuing

Citizen and voter education through partnership with civil society groups and other government

Institutions, the electorate must be empowered with information that would help them vote

Intelligently, the challenge is to develop the people’s appreciation of their vote as a means to

Reform the government and receive better services from it. Part of this challenge is the need to

Raise the awareness of the electorate on relevant issues and the corresponding platforms of the

Candidates, if the country is to shift from the politics of personality to the politics of party

Programs

Does it give an advantage or Disadvantage to the Filipino citizen?

Automated election was commonly implemented to the country who wants a clean and a fair result of election. Because as of now we are in the technologies era in which most of the country who wants to be modernize their election for a certain Advantage of using a technology, especially in dealing with the integrity of the vote of each citizen in the country. As of now our country are trying to embrace this automated election for some reason, the Filipino citizen wants to maintain the security of the vote and hoping that one day they really feel their vote. And the cheating during election will be minimize, we can not say that cheating were totally vanished although we are using an electronically election system but some of political candidates are trying to buy the vote of the voters. The Philippines will hold automated presidential elections next year after the partners of a joint venture that won a $150 million deal to supply counting machines patched up their differences on Friday, officials said. Now we can differentiate the advantage and the disadvantage. Although it so expensive to have this kind of electronically base of election system but the important for us voters is our votes will be count to the corresponding candidates that we are going to vote.

What benefits we can get using this kind of modern type of election system?

If we can meet the goal of this automated election we can say that there is a lot of benefits that we can get from this. One, we can establish to other country that we have a good election system in our country. Second, the tourist will be fascinating to visits our country because we have a leader that really voted by the majority. Third, the integrity of COMELEC will be maintain and so for..

As an IT student do I care on this matter?

Yes, of course this is one of the hottest issues in the country today regarding the usage of technologies. If I have been choose weather manual or automated. I go for automated because being an IT, I saw the big advantage of having an electronically base of election system. In my insight through using this kind of technologies can provide a leader who are really voted by the voters. For short, cheating during the counting of ballots will be prevented and the fairness to the candidates will reign. So, the confidence of the voters will become more strong and same with the trust for the leader that they have been vote. Actually before adopting this kind of system I know that we can encounter a big problem in terms with the financial needs. we are not blind on what is the real status of our economics right now, we are affected by the global financial crisis but we are hoping that through investing this kind of election system will help our country to develop.
