Celebrating Christmas 🌲 (Noche Buena) at the Workplace.

Christmas is one of the highly celebrated Holidays in the Philippines. In fact, family members who are working in the urban zones will find ways just to go back home in provinces just to rejoice Christmas with their family. It is once a year celebration and time to gather all the family members – to show love.

Despite of this strong culture, there are people behind this happy and must awaited holiday that are sacrificing on not going home to spend time with their family. Instead, they spent their Christmas Eve with their workmates as they need to attend the call of duty.  Call Center Workers are not excluded on this.

We have also OFWs – tinitiis ang pamilya para makapagpadala; Security Guards who are handling cups of coffee while on duty. Waiters who are serving foods while their families are at home celebrating; and Hospital Workers who are always ready to save life yet they gave up their chance of having fun with their families.

Truly, it is partly sad but like what we always uttered “DADAAN DIN YAN”. To work in a BPO industry is not easy, it takes courage to bring ourselves to work during at night, it takes sacrifice to leave our family during happy moments and work hard on the floor. This Christmas 2016, Let me greet you a MERRY CHRISTMAS to those who gave up their Christmas Eve to report at work. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

📜 Civil Code of the Philippines: Obligations and Contracts Explained | College Short Film 🎥

Before I learned the ins and outs of video editing for vlogging, I recently recovered a video from my college days on my USB drive. This short film, created 8 years ago, was a project presentation for the subject “LAW ON OBLIGATIONS AND CONTRACTS.” I was one of the proponents, and I must admit, watching it now makes me laugh at how pixelated the video is, with poor acting, noisy audio, and very unsmooth editing.

Although I am still learning video editing for my vlogs, there has been significant improvement compared to this college project. Despite its flaws, this video offers valuable insights into the Civil Code of the Philippines, specifically Articles 1186, 1189, and 1190. I have attempted to re-edit it using Sony Vegas to enhance the quality.

📜 What You'll Learn:

• Article 1186: Impact of conditions on obligations
• Article 1189: Rights of creditors and debtors when conditions are met
• Article 1190: Effects of the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of conditions on obligations

🎥 Why Watch?

• Simplified explanations of complex legal concepts
• Real-life scenarios for better understanding
• Perfect for law students and anyone interested in Philippine law

Join me in this nostalgic look back at my early video-making days and explore the fundamentals of the Philippine Civil Code.
