According to Facebook, among the 49 million Pinoy users, 44 million are accessing the site through their mobile devices.  That accounts to a whopping 91% of the Filipino internet population.<br /><br /><b>Facebook PH will make it easier for businesses</b><br /><br />The establishment of a Facebook office doesn’t only secured the country’s reputation as one of its leading users in the world but rather, the launching further solidified the reputation of the Philippines as a new global business hub in Asia.<br /><br />Aside from that, local businesses and publishers will now be provided with easier means to jumpstart the promotion of their brands. A Philippine-based office of Facebook will be instrumental in a more convenient partnerships building, product branding and promotions for companies.<br /><br /><b>Facebook PH is hiring</b><br /><br />As a new company, Facebook Philippines is currently looking for qualified people to fill the vacant positions needed to fire up the company’s domestic operations particularly an outsource site manager who will be tasked “to run outsourcing site operations and to manage vendor relationships.”<br /><br />Also the company is in need of a regional product marketing manager who is expected “to drive product adoption and go-to-market strategies in the high-growth markets in Asia-Pacific.”<br /><br />Facebook Philippines is temporarily housed at Regus Business Center on the 35th floor of the Eco Tower located in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig with already five people working behind it including Dimagiba as its head.<br /><br /><b>--Michael Santiago, The Summit Express</b></div>

It is expected that around 12 million people will join the activities marking the Feast of the Black Nazarene.<br /><br />Work suspension in all departments, offices and bureaus in the city government was also announced. This excludes those involved in:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>maintenance of peace and order;</li><li>traffic enforcement;</li><li>disaster and risk reduction management;</li><li>health and sanitation; and</li><li>issuance of business permits and collection of taxes.</li></ul><br />But Estrada said the suspension of work in national government offices and private offices in the city "is left to the discretion of their heads of office."<br /><br />“We are mobilizing all hospitals, the entire Manila police force, doctors, City Hall’s engineering department and the garbage department to be in full force during the Feast of the Black Nazarene,” he said.<br /><br />Erap will meet with Monsignor Jose Clemente Ignacio, rector of the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, for preparations for the feast, Estrada said.<br /><br />The Feast of Black Nazarene commemorates the 'Traslación' or Passage of life-sized, dark wooden statue of Jesus Christ through procession or transfer of the image to its present shrine in Quiapo church. Highlight of the celebration is the grand procession of sea of devotees from Luneta.<br /><br />On the said date, it is also expected that traffic in several parts of Manila, including areas through which the procession will pass will be heavy.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="370" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4pHcQyhb1ys" width="600"></iframe></center><br /></div>
