Blogging Time

Being away from work for a week can really make you feel at ease, being able to relax and enjoy your time without any thoughts of work, and it is really a good combination to travel, to have an adventure.

Went to Baguio to visit my grandmother.. enjoying my time with her since I really don’t know how much time she have left. Then visiting the sights of Baguio, although I didn’t really took a lot of time frolicking in that cold area of the Philippines.

I just took time to visit the company my uncle is working with and its Texas Instrument - Philippines, its a U.S. company which cater to construction of semi conductors and chip sets. Its a 5 hectare land and build solely for construction of semiconductors and chips for PC and also a former manufacturer of computers and calculators.

Right now they are constructing a second branch in Clark, and needs about 8,000 employees.. but most of its employees are Engineering graduates since its products is solely on engineering products. The quality of task and work are a top level and its policy is very strict, you have to wear this plastic wrappers for your shoes (forgot whats the name)… and I got to talk to one of the nurses giving their Physical Exams. Applicants who don’t tend to get the instructions given to them verbally looses a chance to get in the company. Imagine being not able to distinguish which is your left eye and right eye.

But what I’m proud of is that the President for both Baguio and Clark branches are both from Iloilo. So when you think of having your field trips try going to Texas Instrument.. its a trip worthwhile
