Bossjob Successfully Concludes First-Ever Kasanggayahan HR Summit in Sorsogon

Bossjob, the fastest-growing AI-powered mobile chat-first recruitment platform, marked another milestone as it successfully concluded the First-Ever Kasanggayahan HR Summit in Sorsogon Province. The event, held at Villa Isabel Hotel, gathered hundreds of participants, including HR professionals, MSME owners, and local leaders. This collaborative effort was supported by the City Government of Sorsogon, the Provincial Government of Sorsogon, the Sorsogon City BPLO Chief Rodel Ferreras, and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Sorsogon, led by Provincial Director Ma. Lourdes Pancho.

In her speech, Ma. Lourdes Pancho expressed her enthusiasm for Bossjob’s expansion into the region, particularly in the province of Sorsogon. She highlighted the platform’s potential to greatly benefit Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by streamlining their recruitment processes. “We are thrilled with Bossjob’s entry into Sorsogon. It’s a game-changer for our business sector. DTI is committed to supporting Bossjob’s initiatives that empower MSMEs in the province,” she said.

Keynote Speaker Highlights the Role of HR in Business Growth

The summit featured Darwin Rivers, an acclaimed HR professional, founder of Philippine HR Group and guest speaker, who emphasized the critical role HR plays in driving business growth. Rivers discussed the "4 E's" of managing employees effectively:

• Employee Engagement
• Employee Enablement
• Employee Satisfaction
• Employee Experience

He noted that while many organizations focus heavily on employee engagement, they often overlook the equally vital areas of enablement, satisfaction, and overall experience. His insights resonated strongly with the audience, inspiring HR professionals and business owners to adopt a more holistic approach to employee management.

Bossjob’s Role in Empowering MSMEs

The event opened with a warm welcome from Feby Joy Llosala-Luneza, Growth Director of Bossjob, who expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from local government units and partner organizations. Bossjob’s Sales Manager for Expansion, Michelle Ayo, shared an insightful presentation on how the platform can revolutionize recruitment for MSMEs by offering cost-effective, AI-driven solutions.

“Our mission is to bridge the gap between employers and job seekers in the most efficient way possible. Bossjob is here to support Sorsogon’s businesses as they grow and thrive,” said Llosala-Luneza.

A Milestone for Sorsogon’s HR Community

The Kasanggayahan HR Summit marked a significant step in fostering collaboration among HR professionals, MSMEs, and local government units. It underscored the importance of strategic HR practices and innovative recruitment platforms like Bossjob in advancing the business landscape in the countryside.

Understanding the health hazards of volcanic ashfall

Mount Kanlaon, one of the 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines erupted and spewed a  voluminous ash column up to 3,000 meters on December 09. The second eruption of  Kanlaon this year, the volcano in Negros released 4,638 tons of sulfur dioxide prior to its  eruption. 

Sitting on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” The Philippines is no stranger to volcanic activity. Another active volcano, the Taal volcano has recorded at least 38 eruptions in the last  450 years. The 2020 major eruption of Taal volcano blasted heavy ashfall into the air,  which reportedly reached as far as Metro Manila, Calabarzon, and Central Luzon. The  Department of Health has continuously warned the public about the health risks that are  associated with ashfall. 

Team Rebel Sports: Empowering Filipino Innovation in Global Sportswear

From a small workshop in Cubao, Team Rebel Sports has grown into a trusted supplier of custom uniforms for sports like American football, lacrosse, basketball, and more.

Not all rebels are troublemakers; some are visionaries with the courage to pursue bold dreams. This kind of spirit sparked the creation of Team Rebel Sports, a homegrown brand from the Philippines that has made its mark in customized sportswear for fans and athletes alike, both locally and abroad.

Stepping into the competitive arena of sports apparel requires more than ambition -- it calls for a resolute fighting spirit. When the brand introduced sublimated jerseys to the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) in the early 2000s, it marked a turning point, not just for the company, but for the entire sports apparel industry in the country. For the first time, a local manufacturer was creating high-quality, customized uniforms that adhered to professional sports standards. Behind this was a vision: to make world-class sportswear in the Philippines and introduce it to the world.
